Crêpes Provençal with Poached Cherry Tomatoes

by Kitchen Repertoire


After a fair amount of experimentation we think this dish is best eaten with one's fingers - leak layer by leak layer - tomatoes plucked from their vine - and the last drops of heavenly olive oil sopped up with a crêpe/sponge.

Buckwheat Crêpe with Smoked Trout, Sour Cream and Dill

Even in a world where so little makes sense - good food always does.

Buckwheat Crêpes with Smoked Trout, Sour Cream and Dill

Basic Buckwheat Crêpe

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup cup water
  • 1/4 cup hard apple or pear cider 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or ghee, plus more for griddle

Combine eggs, milk, water and hard cider in the jar of a bar blender.  Process until smooth.  Add salt and flour and blend.  Add butter and blend just until batter is smooth and the consistency of a nice pourable cream.  Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.  Let stand at least 30 minutes before using.

Heat griddle over a medium low flame.  Brush with melted butter - just so shiny.  There should not be a butter puddle.  Same as pancakes - first crêpe is usually a dud - so be prepared. Pour a scant 1/4 of batter onto griddle.  Lift griddle and gentle tip and turn so that batter spreads naturally into a nice even thin circle - you are looking for something with about 1/16 inch thickness.  

There are various schools of thought when it comes to crêpes.  Some believe that they should be flipped and others say no - JAMAIS JAMAIS JAMAIS!  In the end it all depends on your mood and/or expertise.

  • 1 recipe Basic Buckwheat Crêpes
  • 1 pound smoked trout, skin and bones discarded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Small bunch fresh dill
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

Prepare crêpes as above.  While still warm fill with desired amount and combination of above ingredients.
