Chickpea and Spinach Pancakes

Chickpea and Spinach Crêpes

And by pancakes, they mean crêpes.

Perhaps not the most representative meal to start this blog off with, in that I don't know how closely we followed the original recipe. But these were delicious and hearty. Kristin is a master of the crêpe. The first one never turns out, but the following ones always end up amazing. A torn half-sheet of paper towel separates stack of finished crêpes nicely.

The filling of onions, chickpeas, and spinach was very straightforward. The key element for the whole thing is the white sauce—and our one complaint was that the sauce was kind of bland. I would recommend making sure it's well seasoned with salt and pepper.
