Oat Crepes with Harissa Beans and Tomatoes

This post is sponsored by Bob's Red Mill.

About this time of year, my meals revolve around the easiest way to eat as much summer produce. Typically the answers to that are grain bowls, but I like to change it occasionally, like with these oat crepes.

Tomatoes

In our produce pick-up and even in our small garden, cherry tomatoes are the summer winner. During peak tomato season, we end up with a large mound each week, and the tomatoes find their way into everything. However, I love a good meal that highlights the flavor and sweetness of the cherry tomatoes.

You could use regular tomatoes in this recipe by cutting the tomato into bite-size pieces. A lightly cooked squash would be another excellent addition as well. If it's not summer, the harissa/crepe combination would be nice with roasted squash or sweet potato.

Crepes

When it comes to crepes, I love that they are so forgiving with whichever flour you might use. In terms of these oat crepes, I used Bob's Red Mill rolled oats and pulsed them in a blender to make the flour for the crepes. We always have rolled oats on hand, and the crepes hold together well. If you're looking for other options, here is a post on how I make basic crepes.

Harissa Paste

I keep an ample supply of dried chile peppers on hand during the year, primarily to make different versions of chile pastes and salsas. Harissa paste has become a staple in my cooking over the years. I love this North African condiment because it's versatile: a base for a recipe or the final added touch. You can find quality harissa pastes in many grocery stores that come in either jar or squeeze tubes.

If you're looking to source a harissa paste, I'd recommend these ones. You can also try making a version at home (this is the recipe I use), but know it won't be quite the same. Tunisian harissa is made with specific chiles grown in the region.

Beans

Finally, the beans. This recipe isn't really about them, but the beans add heft to make these crepes a meal. I used a version of cannellini, but any variety of white bean or chickpea would work. Use what you have on hand if you can.
