Leave it to the French to come up with a delicious, thick crepe recipe called farçous. Very simple to make. Milk, flour, eggs, garlic, chives, chard, shallots and some salt & pepper were combined in a food processor.
I made these with last week fish and when gradschool son came home, he used them like a taco. A pancake, some fish, some sauce he declared it one of the best meals to date.
These swiss chard pancakes will be on our go to recipes when the swiss chard in the garden is ready to be harvested. They were easy to make and delicious. There are some in the freezer waiting to make their sunny green appearance at a moment's notice. These are one of the reasons that I am glad that I am cooking along with French Fridays with Dorie.
Absolutely perfect in taco form! Your son is right. Glad you liked them, I did too. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think I would've enjoyed these more had I made them bigger and thinner. I made mine mini-sized.
ReplyDeleteI think these would work really well a little thinner and bigger and then stuffed with something good. By themselves, they're a bit plain, but they can be really good combined with other flavors. Sounds like they went over really well! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteHa - love the taco idea. Now I am craving fish tacos for dinner....
ReplyDeleteThese would make a great taco! I really enjoyed them, too, though my partner has steadfastly refused to eat them.
ReplyDeleteThese were wonderfully delicious! I’m making another batch tomorrow. I love that your son made fish tacos with them! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteI would not have thought of tacos... but it just goes to show how versitle these pancakes are... glad you enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteYour son seems to be a good barometer for Dorie's recipes. He's right, I think, that this plain pancake can be twisted and folded and stuffed into a pocket-of-deliciousness. A great way for kids toget their veggies, also.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you and your family enjoyed these wonderful Swiss chard pancakes so much - this was indeed a wonderful recipe and your pancakes look just perfect!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovley Monday!
I like your son's idea. I think I would have liked these much better with some fish inside!
