GLUTEN-FREE SPINACLE CREPE

Spinach crepes without wheat flour are easy to make, are light and digest much better, a recipe for the whole family.

These crepes or spinach tortillas are light and you can fill them with whatever you want, a recipe for the whole family, easy to prepare and very fun.

Surely you have seen this recipe on the internet many times, it is in all places of healthy food, it is usually spread as an ideal recipe for children, as a way to disguise spinach to eat them.

And yes, they do not lack reason, in this way it is more likely that you will get a small dose of that dreaded vegetable to be consumed by the little ones in the house, but let's face it, it will be a very small dose.

Spinach crepes are green, but it will not be difficult to convince the little ones to try them.

Keep in mind that each crepe has very little spinach and that the rest of the ingredients are egg, and some flour, oatmeal, coconut, nuts, and if they are made conventionally, corn or wheat.

What I mean by this is that I think it's great to develop recipes and ideas to make children eat food that they have trouble accepting, but the truth is that there comes a time when they must face reality.

You can prepare these crepes, but another day you should put a few spinach on the plate, to see how they are.

I have one thing clear, the only way for children to eat vegetables voluntarily is to put them in front of them on a regular basis, because I have found that seeing that you eat them is not enough.

If you prepare chicken, put aside some green beans or broccoli flowers, the first day he will not eat it, he will even try to avoid touching it with the fork, but the second one may not repel him so much and the third one may even try it

Fill these spinach crepes with children's favorite ingredients, and you'll see how they like them.

Do not throw in the towel, be constant and keep trying, it is true that you do not have to force them, if the first times their rejection is frontal, you have to reason and explain why it would be good to eat them, but you do not have to force them.

Little by little you will see how it comes into reason, if you also see that for you vegetables are of habitual consumption, it will be even easier.

And well, beyond facing children with the raw vegetable reality, we can also prepare recipes such as these crepes that will always be more nutritious than an industrial dough with low quality flours and hydrogenated fats.

If you decide to make them, fill them with meat, fish, cheese, there are many combinations, the idea is that they are tasty and juicy and that the children love them.

It involves children in the kitchen, you will awaken their interest in food and they will learn to value it.

It is an ideal recipe for the weekend, they can help you prepare them, participating in the process also creates interest in what they eat.

Learning how they prepare and being aware of the effort involved helps them to value what you do for them every day.

To prepare these crepes you need very few ingredients, the main one is spinach, you can use nut or seed flour if you want to make some gluten-free crepes, you can also use coconut flour.

You must add some liquid ingredient, it can be vegetable milk, cow's milk or cream, so they will be softer. And finally, you have to season the dough, if it is for children do not put pepper, if it is for adults you can add it too.

A little olive oil will be necessary to make the crepes and make sure they do not stick, it is important that you go throwing the dough and moving the pan at the same time trying to cover the entire surface so that all the crepes are more or less same.

These spinach crepes are an easy, quick and fun dinner.

As for the filling, the possibilities are endless, you can make them with chicken, with shredded veal, with fish or with vegetables, you can add a sauce, a sauce, the idea is that they are tasty and juicy.

If you are going to make them for the children, think of fillings that they like, scrambled egg, ham, cheese, sobrasada, etc.

You can also make a thick cream of carrot or pumpkin and use it to accompany the crepes, as a sauce, so that the dish is more complete, with more flavors and textures.
