  • 2 oz Pinot Grigio
Directions:

  4. In a non-stick skillet over medium high heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray and ladle in 2 oz (1/4 cup) of batter.
  5. Swirl the batter around in a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion to distribute the batter evenly.
  6. When the mixture starts to bubble; flip the crepe over with a rubber spatula then let cook 30 seconds longer and remove.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. In a large skillet melt 2 T butter and add garlic and parsley then cook until garlic starts to caramelize.
  9. Add the roasted peppers, artichokes and lemon and deglaze with the white wine and chicken stock.
  10. Reduce the cooking liquid by 50 percent to intensify the flavor and then season to taste.
  11. Swirl in the remaining butter to give the sauce some body and turn the heat off.

For Service
    Place 1 warm crepe in the center of each plate and place a few artichokes in the center.
    Fold the crepes in half and top each with the remaining sauce.
