Crepes and Caviar

To launch my new culinary tantric blog I chose a simple yet elegant recipe of crepes and red caviar (aka salmon roe) that I prepared to celebrate a special occasion with my husband.

For centuries salmon roe has been considered a super food thanks to its tremendous health benefits:

• rich source of vitamin A (strengthens blood vessels, improves eyesight and draws the toxins out of the body), vitamin D (strengthens the bones), vitamin B and E (normalizes metabolism and stimulates sex glands, rejuvenates and regenerates body tissue)
• rich in long-chain fatty acids
• high content of iodine
• rich in calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, silicium, zinc
• rich in lecithin - stimulator of brain activity

Every chef certainly has his or her favorite recipe for crepes. And I am not an exception, having my own favorite version that has been enjoyed by myself and my loved ones for many years.

Recipe:
• 600-700 grams of milk blend with one organic egg, a spoon of sugar, and a small pinch of baking soda
• Blend 1-2 tablespoons of flour at a time until you get desired consistency.
• I use cast iron skillet with medium heat to make very thin crepes.

Serve the pancakes with red caviar, melted butter and chilled white wine, filling the atmosphere with unforgettable aroma of your home-made crepes.

I think salmon roe tastes best with dry and semi-dry wine or Brut champagne, while sweet or semisweet alternatives somewhat negate its delicate taste.

Feel the melting of salty beads of caviar in a sweet pancake, beautifully blending with a glass of velvety semi-dry Muscat wine, and delve into the delight of tantric culinary mystery...

Bon appétit!
