  • 200 ml of milk
  • 70 g of flour
  • 30 g of butter
  • salt to taste
  • parsley
  • 500 g of swordfish
  • 200 g of tomato puree

  • 10/12 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • ½ glass of dry white wine
  • 150 g of ricotta
  • extra virgin olive oil

PROCEDURE

  • Cut the swordfish into cubes. Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes.
  • In a pan, heat the oil with the garlic clove. Add the tomato puree with the chopped cherry tomatoes and the tomato paste dissolved in a little water. Mix and let cook for about ten minutes. Add the swordfish cut into cubes. Mix.
  • Blend with white wine. Add salt and let cook for a few minutes. Remember to taste to adjust the saltiness.
  • While the swordfish sauce is cooking, prepare the crepes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg with 15 g of melted butter, a pinch of salt and the milk. Add the flour little by little, stirring constantly.
  • Use the remaining butter to grease the pan (12/14 cm in diameter). Cook the crepes by pouring a ladle of mixture and turning it once cooked.
  • Optional: you can place some parsley leaves on the bottom of the pan.
  • Let both the crepes and the swordfish ragù cool.
  • Blend 2/3 of the ragù with the ricotta. Season with salt and put the mixture in a piping bag.
  • Fill the crepes and arrange them in the pan(s) brushed with oil. Also brush the surface of the crepes and add the swordfish ragù before baking at 180° for about 10/15 minutes.
