Ingredients 1 cup chickpea flour ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about ¾ cup) ¼ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 3 cups) 1 teaspoon cumin seeds Watercress, sliced avocado, and lemon wedges, for serving Directions Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat. Whisk flour and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons oil into flour until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, process feta, yogurt, pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside. Toss asparagus, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add cumin seeds and cook, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; wipe skillet. Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in skillet over medium-high. Pour in half of batter (about ¾ cup) and swirl skillet to cover bottom. Cook until bubbles form on surface and top looks slightly dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a spatula and flip crepe. Cook, undisturbed, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Slide onto a large plate. Repeat with remaining 1½ teaspoons oil and ¾ cup batter. Top with whipped feta, asparagus, watercress, and avocado. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over each crepe and drizzle with cumin oil. Rate It Print
