Delicious garlic and herb crepes make wonderful pockets for succulent roasted vegetables and plenty of rich creamy sauce.
Ingredients:
2 red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
2 yellow peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
6oz (175g) onion, roughly chopped
1 aubergine, roughly chopped
2 courgettes, roughly chopped
2 tblsp (30ml) olive oil
1 quantity of crepe mixture
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tblsp (15ml) chopped mixed fresh herbs
1oz (25g) butter
1oz (25g) flour
1 pint (600ml) milk
3oz (75g) Gruyere cheese, grated
3oz (75g) cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp (5ml) Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk
Salt and pepper
Step One : Preheat the oven to Mark 6 / 400oF / 200oC. Place all of the chopped vegetables in a roasting tin with the olive oil and cook for 45 mins until they are tender and browned, turning them occasionally.
Step Two : Make the basic crepe mixture, then add the garlic and herbs. Rest mixture for 30 mins.
Step Three : Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, add flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually add the milk. Bring to the boil, stirring. Cook for 2-3 mins. Stir in most of both cheeses, the mustard and the egg yolk. Season well, cover and keep warm.
Step Four : Cook the crepes. Fold into quarters to form triangles. Fill with the roasted vegetables and place in a single layer in a greased, shallow ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the crepes and grill until golden brown. Serve immediately.
