Author Notes
Basically I needed a platform for some rutabagas, and this idea materialized. It is another modifiable recipe that can be catered to things in your pantry, leftover grains (great with wild rice too), you name it. You can easily make a test crêpe and adjust liquid or flour depending on what grain you choose.
I love the sweet and earthy flavor of a rutabaga, but feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand along with the ricotta mixture. Some good options are mushrooms, caramelized onions, zucchini, fresh tomatoes (would be good roasted or raw), a big pile of greens, a fried egg (or any combination thereof!). —savorthis
