Crepes With Blueberry Stuffing And Rhubarb Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar, blueberries, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick in a pot. Add enough water to barely cover the rhubarb. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is soft and broken down, 30 to 40 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick.
• Cool compote in the refrigerator until thickened, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine chopped strawberries and rhubarb in a saucepan. Add sugar and salt; stir to coat evenly. Let sit until fruit has released its juices, about 10 minutes.
• Bring fruit mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 30 minutes. Mixture will further thicken upon cooling. Place in a jar or storage container and refrigerate for up to a week.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar and water. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Many berries will begin to burst and syrup should thicken. Add remaining cup of berries and allow them to heat through.
• Spoon warm compote into crepes. Drizzle with maple syrup and dollop with sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with additional blueberries.

Steps:

• CREPES: Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Whisk in the salt, sugar, and flour. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Melt about 1/2-teaspoon butter in a nonstick 8 to 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When it foams, pour or ladle in about 2 tablespoons of batter.
• Lift and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom. Set pan on the burner and cook just until set and the underside is lightly browned.
• Using a spatula or your fingers, flip and cook until the other side is lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and continue with remaining batter.
• BLUEBERRY STUFFING: In a bowl, gently fold together the blueberries, maple sugar and sour cream.
• RHUBARB COMPOTE: Place the rhubarb, orange juice concentrate, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan and cook until the fruit falls apart and the mixture thickens.
• TO SERVE: place the crepes on a platter and smear with marmalade. Place a spoonful of the blueberry filling down the center and roll up the crepe. Repeat with remaining crepes. Top off with some rhubarb compote and mint.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter. Combine the flour, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; add to egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the orange juice, orange zest and lemon juice; stir in rhubarb and strawberries. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. Stack cooled crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between., To serve, spoon 1/4 cup filling over each crepe; roll up. Top with whipped cream.,

Steps:

• In a blender, add all the crepe ingredients. Blend till smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• While the batter rests, start the compote. In a saucepan, add the blueberries on medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and water. Stir and cook until hot and bubbly. Then, reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally until set.
• To make the crepes, lightly brush a nonstick pan with butter and on medium heat, add ¼ of the batter. Quickly lift the pan and swirl to the edges, making a circle.
• Cook for about 40 seconds, until the middle begins to bubble and edges begin to brown. Once set slightly, flip over and cook the other side for 40-45 seconds.
• To fill, spread some cream on one end, top with a few spoons of the berry compote, and, if desired, top with additional whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
• Serve.

Steps:

• To make the crêpe batter, sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl and set aside; Combine the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl and stir until smooth; Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until blended into a relatively smooth batter; Let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator; (The batter may be prepared to this point and stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours).
• Heat a crêpe pan or small skillet over medium heat; Brush the pan with melted butter; Pour a scant ¼ cup batter into the crêpe pan, swirling and tilting the pan to coat the bottom; Cook (reducing the heat if necessary) until the first side is set and has a little color, about 2 minutes; Use a thin metal or heatproof rubber spatula to loosen the crêpe, and turn it over; Cook on the other side until set and very lightly colored (the crêpe will not be as dark on the second side as on the first), 1 minute more; Stack the crêpes between layers of parchment or waxed paper as you cook.
• To make the cheese filling, purée the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a blender until very smooth; Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract by hand; Keep refrigerated until you are ready to finish the crêpes.
• Combine the blueberries, ¾ cup of the sugar, and one tablespoon of the lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; Simmer until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes; Taste the mixture and, if necessary, add more sugar; Continue to heat until any additional sugar is dissolved; Strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve (Makes 2 Cups).
• After straining, place the coulis in a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer; Make a slurry by blending 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water. Drizzle the slurry into the simmering coulis gradually, adding just enough to lightly thicken the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; Lightly brush a medium baking dish with melted butter.
• Spoon or pipe about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto each crêpe; Fold each crêpe into quarters, or fold the sides in to the center, then roll each crêpe up; Place the crêpes seam side down in the prepared baking dish; Drizzle with melted butter and bake until very hot, 8-10 minutes.
• Serve immediately, 2 crêpes per serving, with warm blueberry coulis.
