FOODCOLORCHALLENGE| Green Week | Homemade Plantain and Spinach Crepes
Hi, Steemit Iron Chef Community!
It's a pleasure for me to post for the first time in this smiling and colorful community.
I want to thank @progressivechef for keeping this space open and @sanuri for hosting this contest in the community. Just click HERE should you like to learn about Food Color Challenge.
Now I'd like to invite @pea07, @eglis, and @reinamia to join in :)
Today I made crepes for breakfast. When I don't make them with the traditional mix of flour, milk, butter and eggs, I usually use unripe plantains. Since I also made basil pesto, I took the opportunity to add spinach to my crepes mix, to give them the green I needed and thus have my post for #foodcolorchallenge.
Green is the color that stands out in this stuffed crepe. Inside I put lettuce, smoked ham, cheese, yogurt and homemade basil pesto.
We love these flavors at home. We like a good amount of fresh garlic in our basil pesto.
The crepes are browned on one side and greener on the other. I folded them with the greener side out and used toothpicks with a basil bud to make sure they were well closed.
I also used some pesto to make a modest decoration on the plate.
The combination of unripe plantain and spinach turned out to be a success.
I used just 100 gr of spinach and two plantains, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of melted salt for 8 crepes.
These crepes do not contain flour or milk.
So they are an excellent choice for those who cannot consume gluten or casein. Just make sure that the filling is also suitable--ham contains gluten and cheese contains casein.
Hello @marlyncabrera,
Thank you for this beautiful presentation for the Green Week of the foodcolorchallenge.

This Homemade Plantain and Spinach Crepes is absolutely awesome!... Just WOW!!! You did a fantastic job ✨. And I'm sure these are very delicious 😍. What a great entry.
Hi friend,
Your dishes are beautiful and the photos are really great.
TIP: Adding text on top of your first picture makes the dish highlight less in the thumbnail. It would be better to present a beautiful picture of your dish as the first picture of your post.
Hope to see you next week with a great entry again!

Hi, @sanuri. Thanks for your nice words and advice.
I decided to edit the cover as you can see. I have no idea if this will work as another entry, but I didn't like the original cover anyway because it looked cluttered due to the size of the text.
For next week, I will try to make a photo that has a natural visual frame so I can use it without text, or with a minimum of text.
Cheers!
What a beautiful presentation. Your crepes looks so good and healthy.
Congratulations to you!
Thanks a lot, @jobreyes24. I really appreciate it as I love your work.

Que espectáculo de receta, el colorido atrapa y cuando leo la descripción del proceso, es una invitación a emular . Felicitaciones, como siempre impecable amiga . Gracias por la invitación 😁
Hola, @reinamia. No podía hacer algo con espinacas sin mencionarte. Quedan muy sabrosas; eso sí, hay que dejarlas que se cocinen bien por un solo lado antes de voltearlas, para no tostarlas por el otro lado y que conserven el verde.
Saludos y gracias por tu linda visita :)
Amiga no alcance a participar en la semana verde, pero tu nos muestras un gran menú, con un gran emplatado y hermosas fotos. Te deseo mucha suerte en el concurso, espero vernos pronto en la semana naranja.
Hola, @alicargofer. ¡Muchas gracias! Aquí me quedé pensando que las naranjas nuestras son amarillas, ja, ja, ja.
Nos vemos por aquí y por allá 🥰
Your dish looks so great, I like your plating style too. I hope you can show how to make this recipe, I'll like to try it. Must be a tasty recipe.
Thanks for sharing.
