Carob and Tahini Crepes
Carob and tahini are two ingredients that might not immediately come to mind when you think of crepes, but trust us, they make for a delicious and unique twist on the classic French breakfast. The carob adds a hint of chocolatey flavor, while the tahini gives the crepes a nutty richness. These crepes are also gluten-free, making them a great option for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
The story of carob and tahini crepes begins in the ancient Middle East, where carob trees have been cultivated for centuries. Carob pods were used as a sweetener and a source of flour, and they were often combined with tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds, to create a variety of dishes. These dishes were popular among the region's nomadic tribes, who would often carry carob pods and tahini with them on their journeys. Over time, carob and tahini crepes became a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, and they are still enjoyed today in many countries around the world.
