Browse the recipe Emeril's Crepes With Mushroom Caponata
YIELD about 2 1/2 cups
INGREDIENTS
| Caponata Relish: | |
| 1/3 cup | red wine vinegar |
| 1/2 cup | golden raisins |
| 1/3 cup | sugar |
| 1/4 cup | olive oil |
| 2 cups | mixed mushrooms |
| 1/2 cup | chopped yellow onion |
| 1 tablespoon | minced garlic |
| 1 cup | pitted, chopped green olives |
| 1 cup | toasted pine nuts |
| 1/3 cup | finely chopped fresh basil leaves |
| For the Crepes: | |
| 3/4 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 3 | large eggs, beaten |
| 3/4 cup | plus 3 tablespoons whole milk |
| 6 teaspoons | melted unsalted butter |
| Pinch salt | |
PREPARATION:
Method:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, raisins and sugar. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes, stirring. Remove from the heat and let cool. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onions and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the olives and pine nuts, and stir in the vinegar mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency and flavor is reached. Stir in the basil and remove from the heat. Adjust seasoning and serve warm with crepes.
Method:
- Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and 4 1/2 teaspoons of the butter to form a smooth, thin batter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding. Heat a heavy 6-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush with a light coating of the remaining butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan, tilting the skillet to evenly coat the pan with batter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and the top begins to look dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn the crepe and cook on the second side just until the bottom colors slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with waxed paper to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve the crepes with a couple of the tablespoons of the Mushroom Caponata.
