Crêpes aux Algues

Crêpes aux Algues are delicate French crepes infused with the umami flavors of seaweed, offering a unique vegetarian twist on traditional seafood dishes. They are complemented by a creamy herb sauce that enhances their marine essence, making them a delightful and savory treat.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Milk - 250 milliliters
• Dried seaweed (wakame or nori) - 10 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter - 20 grams (for cooking crêpes)
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon (chopped)
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon (chopped)
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, eggs, salt, and milk, whisking until smooth to create the crêpe batter. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, soak the dried seaweed in warm water for about 10 minutes until rehydrated, then drain and chop finely.
3. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill to make the herb sauce. Season with black pepper to taste.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, swirling to spread it evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Once the crêpes are cooked, spread some of the chopped seaweed evenly on one half of each crêpe, fold it over, and serve with the herb sauce drizzled on top.
