CRESPOLINI DI ZUCCA (Winter Squash Crepes)
Filling:
2 c. squash puree (Butternut or Delicata)
1/2 c. toasted walnuts, chopped (Toast in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.)
1/2 c. shredded parmesan
Steps
- Mix together.
- Make a French crepe recipe. (I use 1/2 whole wheat flour.)
- Cook the crepes in a large, buttered, non-stick skillet.
- Fill and fold each crepe wedge-style. ( Put about 1/3 cup of the filling on one quarter of the crepe. Fold in half and then in half again.)
- Keep warm in the oven.
- Sauce: Melt 1/4 c. butter. When it foams, add 4 fresh sage leaves per crepe. Crisp the leaves in the butter. Remove from heat before they burn.
- Sprinkle each crepe with parmesan cheese and pour the sage butter over.
- This amount of filling and sauce makes 6 crepes. 2 crepes is a very generous serving.
Note
I first had these at Cafe Mare in Santa Cruz. The waiter described the
method and I figured the amounts. Delicious.
