Blini stuffed with cabbage

This was a good choice for a nice light dinner.  I left out the eggs and added chives for some extra flavor. I did use my own recipe for the crepes just because I am already familiar with it.  "Let's have this again" was the after dinner comment so it is the newest addition to the recipe file.

BLINI WITH CABBAGE STUFFING

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 recipe of French crepes
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded,
• 1 small cabbage, finely shredded
• 2-3 boiled eggs, peeled, and cut into small cubes
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely cut
• Salt, pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Make crepes as directed in the recipe.

Make the stuffing.  On a frying pan, sauté onions till golden and soft, add carrots and cabbage, and cook till cabbage is very soft and loses half of its volume. Mix in the eggs and garlic, and add salt and pepper and/or other favorite seasonings.

Let the stuffing cool and then fold it into the crepes.

For a healthier option – eat as is or warm it up in the oven or microwave.  For a tastier version – fry the stuffed crepes on both sides till crispy.

Make ahead: wrap each bundle in a plastic wrap, and store in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months.
