Mhadjeb aux Légumes is a traditional Moroccan dish featuring thin, gluten-free crepes filled with a flavorful medley of vegetables. Perfect for breakfast, this dish combines wholesome ingredients for a nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

• Brown rice flour - 150 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Zucchini - 1 medium, grated
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, water, and salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the cumin, paprika, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Pour a ladle of the batter into the pan, swirling to form a thin crepe.
6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
7. Once the crepe is cooked, remove it from the pan and place 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the center. Fold the crepe over the filling to create a pocket.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling. Serve warm and enjoy!
