Wondrous Nature’s Gift: Radiant Sunflower, Part 3 of 3 – Sunflower Seed-based Vegan Crepe with Hollandaise Sauce and Vegan Ukrainian Sunflower Seed Halva

Sunflower seed flour is packed with protein and is a very versatile product that can be used in a wide range of dishes, like pancakes, chapatti, roti, tortilla, bread, cookies, crackers and lots more.

Today, we will cook a delicious savory Vegan Crepe. We will start by making a Vegan Hollandaise Sauce to go with the sunflower crepes. Now let’s prepare the batter. In a mixing bowl, add one cup of all-purpose flour, three tablespoons of sunflower seeds flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Gradually whisk in 300 milliliters of unsweetened soymilk or oat milk, then add one tablespoon of sunflower oil and continue whisking until the batter is smooth and runny.

We are now ready to cook the crepes. Place your pan on medium heat and scoop two ladles of the batter into it. Then tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter as thin as possible. The crepe is ready when both sides turn light brown.

Now we will cook the fillings for the crepes. Next, assemble all the components together. Place the filling on one half of the crepe and then fold to cover the filling. Then add the sunflower sprouts, Vegan Hollandaise Sauce, and herbs. These savory crepes look so delicious, so indulge while they are still warm.

Now, let’s start making Ukrainian Sunflower Seed Halva by preparing the syrup mixture. Pour three tablespoons of water and half a cup of organic sugar into a saucepan and put on medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Add one tablespoon of coconut oil and half a teaspoon of salt and continue stirring. Stir in half a tablespoon of lemon juice and then turn off the heat. Combine two cups of sunflower seed flour with the syrup mixture we just made and thoroughly mix until well incorporated. Transfer the halva mixture into the pre-oiled container, press the mixture in till tightly packed and flat on the surface. Place the already chilled cut halva pieces on a serving plate and garnish with your favorite accompaniments; we use roselle, fresh mint leaves, kiwi, kumquats, blueberries, and sunflower seeds. Now there is only one thing left to do, and that is to sit back, relax and enjoy these sumptuous sweet treats with your favorite cup of tea!
