Thursday: Crepes with Greens, Zucchini with Chorizo

Last night we finished off the last of the buckwheat crepe batter by filling crepes with sauteed greens (broccoli rabe, radish greens, spring garlic, chervil, all from the CSA box) and romano cheese. Three of the four crepes I made ended up ugly as sin, but the food was still excellent.

To accompany this I diced a couple zucchini (1/2" dice), microwaved them for a couple minutes until soft, then added them to a pan with some sauteeing chorizo slices. Given how potent the chorizo was, I had too much of it, but the dish was still good. Particularly since it was the product of a "shit, the chorizo I'm frying is too strong to eat straight up" thought process.

Dessert was macerated strawberries (CSA), topped with a creme fraiche simulant (half sour cream, half heavy cream) mixed with a bit of sugar and vanilla. This would have been better on biscuits, but that wasn't going to happen last night and it was still damn fine.
