garlic and tempeh until golden brown. Add rice, green

A sauce can be made to cover peppers before baking.

Crepes with Fruit ?Serves 6
Batter:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons corn oil (optional)
4 cups sparkling mineral water
|
Place flour and salt in a bowl, and if using oil, work it in
with your fingers until it is evenly distributed.
Add mineral water slowly stirring quickly with a whisk. Do not stir too
much; the mixture should be bubbly. Use immediately.
Oil a crepe pan or a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, and heat
over medium flame.
Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the center of the hot pan and tilt
the pan quickly in all directions, so that the batter covers the bottom of
the pan evenly.
Cook about 5 minutes or until the edges of the crepe
begin to shrink.
Lift crepe with a spatula and turn over.
Cook another 2 minutes.
Place crepes on individual plates,
spread filling over each crepe, and roll up.
Bring juice, fruit, and salt to a boil and simmer for a few
minutes. Add dissolved kuzu and stir until mixture thickens.
