Create a stylish lunch menu with these elegant crepes with cod and fried potato filling.
Ingredients
- 150g (1 cup) plain flour
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 110g butter
- 375ml (1 1/2 cups) milk
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 8 chat (small coliban) potatoes, unpeeled, thinly sliced
- 300ml thickened cream
- 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 400g smoked cod, flaked
- 2 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 80g baby rocket leaves
Method
- Step 1Place flour in a bowl and season with salt. Make a well in the centre. Melt 60g of the butter and place in a jug. Add milk and egg and whisk until combined. Pour 125ml (1/2 cup) of milk mixture into flour and stir until incorporated. Add remaining milk mixture and stir until a thin batter forms. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.
- Step 2Melt 20g of the remaining butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato and cook for 10 minutes or until brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe the pan with paper towel.
- Step 3Meanwhile, place cream in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Add the mustard and garlic and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the cod and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until cod is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in shallots and tarragon. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4Melt 1 teaspoon of the remaining butter in the same frying pan over medium-low heat until foaming. Pour 80ml (1/3 cup) of batter into the pan and tilt to evenly coat the base. Cook for 1 minute or until the edges of the crepe curl slightly. Turn and cook for a further minute or until light golden underneath. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make 5 more crepes.
- Step 5Place crepes on serving plates. Top half of each crepe with rocket leaves and fried potato. Spoon over cod sauce and fold to enclose. Serve immediately.
