tonight dan and I made this amazing recipe from Vegan With a Vegeance.
it was a lot of work, but totally worth it. It was sweet, savory, coconut-limey, flavorful, but not spicy at all. just amazingly good.
although - we started at 8:15; and we didn't eat til 10 pm.
so I've promised to not make this unless I start at 5 pm; and probably only on sunday.
next time I *will* use whole spices; and just use the mortar and pestle; I'm not yet ready to get a dedicated spice grinder. (maybe it's more of a space issue...and I'm trying to not always buy tons of stuff....)
also- tonight was the first time I tried whole food's organic coconut milk (from a can); and it was better than other brands I've tried- it wasn't that watery.
the only recipe substitution I made was canola or olive oil for the peanut oil, without any problems.
the sauce was the best part, and the easiest.
also- one needs to wait - for the crepes- for them to look almost done until flipping; and having an almost dry 8" cast iron pan is best (olive oil being rubbed on with a paper towel works).
and don't worry about the first crepe. it's sacrificial- it warms up the pan. the rest will turn out :)
Here's a pic of the crepes mid-assembly, you can see the filling.
