Beetroot Spelt Crepes with Horseradish Labneh

This beautiful vegetarian pancake recipe is easy but indulgent and very delicious made with beet juice and spelt, then filled with a horseradish labneh, rolled and served with some leafy greens and pomegranate seeds. They make a perfectly light and yummy lunch. You won't be disappointed. If you're not sure if horseradish is your thing, start with just a tablespoon. Add in some chopped fresh herbs if desired.

250 g Labneh or cream cheese
2-3 tbsp Horseradish cream
1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
100 g White spelt flour
125 ml Beetroot juice
125 ml Wholemilk
2 Eggs, medium
1 tbsp Coconut oil
Fresh leafy greens and pomegranate seeds, to serve

Mix labneh, horseradish cream, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and lots of pepper. It can be made a couple of days ahead. Cover and chill.
Sift the spelt flour into a mixing bowl. Whisk together the beet juice, milk and egg in a jug until combined. Gradually add egg mixture to the flour in the bowl, whisking until smooth and combined. Cover. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Spray a 22-cm non-stick frying pan with coconut oil. Pour 1/5 of the batter into pan. Swirl to cover base. Cook for 2 minutes or until light golden. Turn. Cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 5 crepes.
Spread 2 tablespoons of horseradish labneh evenly onto the crepe. Roll up firmly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with leafy greens and pomegranate seeds.

Sherry's Pickings 8/6/21 09:36: hi angie
just wondering where you get beetroot juice from? did you whizz up your own? it's such a great taste isn't it? so earthy. Also just wondering about email subs? i see you use mailchimp? is that a recent thing? or have you alwasy used it? i will have to change as feedburner is going away; maybe follow.it will be good?
anyway
cheers

Angie's Recipes 8/6/21 09:49: @Sherry's Pickings Sherry, I bought it from ALDI.
I am still testing mailchimp. But from what I have heard, it's not bad. If you are going to use Follow.It, don't delete your Feed in Feedburner, just disable the email sub. A few fellow blogger mentioned that follow.it would advise you to delete the Feed. Don't do it or people who don't use email sub. (I usually read the updates from Feedly, some from Bloglovin.) wouldn't be able to get any update from you.
Julie 8/6/21 15:16: What a beutiful presentation, Angie..beautiful pancakes, healthy as well.
Eva Taylor 9/6/21 13:42: Spectacular colour Angie, just love it. Great idea to use beet juice, such a vibrant colour.

SavoringTime in the Kitchen 9/6/21 17:23: Your crepes are beautiful, Angie! This does sound like the perfect summer lunch. We love horseradish and I always add a heaping tablespoon to cocktail sauce when we have peel and eat shrimps.
claire 9/6/21 22:24: Sadly I have allergy for beetroots, but I love Spelt and I appreciate the colour beetroot is giving to it :-)
Raymund 10/6/21 01:03: Thats one vibrant crepe, love the idea
Evi @ greenevi 10/6/21 12:33: Love love love the color of these crepes!!
