Pâtisserie Végétalienne

Pâtisserie Végétalienne is a delightful vegan twist on traditional French cuisine, featuring a savory chickpea crepe filled with sautéed seasonal vegetables and drizzled with a tangy tahini sauce. This dish is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 100 grams
• Water - 250 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Zucchini - 100 grams, diced
• Red bell pepper - 100 grams, diced
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Spinach - 50 grams, fresh
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Pour a ladle of the chickpea batter into the skillet and swirl to form a thin crepe. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, placing cooked crepes on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in the spinach and cumin, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a small bowl, mix tahini with lemon juice and a splash of water to create a drizzling sauce. Adjust consistency with more water if necessary.
5. To serve, place a generous amount of sautéed vegetables on each chickpea crepe, fold or roll, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
