Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 So today I am going to attempt buckwheat blintzes and whole wheat empanadas. The blintzes I will stuff with ricotta, cottage cheese and berries. The empandas I will stuff with refried beans and cheese. No idea if they will turn out ok, but I have back ups in the freezer just in case. This week I also attempt to recreate this dish I had at an Indian restaurant. It was basically a polenta kind of dish but made with garbonza bean flour. No idea if the protein will be enough or if I'll use it as my brown until I figure out the dish, but I'm excited to figure it all out Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ok, the final tally is Blintzes were great, Empanadas need work LOL. The blintzes ended up being 10 grams of protein each, so I can either have three for a meal or one for a snack or to supplement a meal. The recipe is: 1 cup buckwheat flour 1 1/4 cup milk 3 eggs 2 Tablespoons oil 1 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1/2 cup ricotta 1 teaspoon apple juice concentrate cinnamon berries or other fruit butter to cook with, I used about 2 1/2 Tablespoons Mix first four ingredients in the blender until smooth. Let sit in the fridge at least an hour. Using a 9 inch frying pan heat over medium heat and add a pat of butter--maybe a teaspoon. Swirl around to coat the pan. Add 1/4 cup of the batter, swirl around immediately to cover the bottom on the pan. When the pancake/crepe thingy looks dry flip over for 20 seconds and then remove from heat. Repeat until batter is gone. I ended up having 11 pancakes by the end. Meanwhile, use a blender to mix the cottage cheese, ricotta, juice, and cinnamon. You may need to scrape the sides a few times. To wrap the crepes put a few tablespoons of filling about 1/2 of the way up from the bottom. Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the right and left side, then contine to roll the blintz up from the bottom. Place in a greased 9 inch square pan and repeat until all the blintzes are done. Dot with butter and bake until browned for about 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Serve with fresh fruit--I used berries, didn't bother cooking them, just placed a few on top. Hubby loved this, as did I! It does take a bit of time to prepare but it didn't turn out to be that hard skill wise .
