This is one of my all time favorite one pot dish. It’s fragrant and tastes buttery without dairy. While I enjoy this with flavour of fresh herbs. It’s a lovely addition to a dinner buffet. Whenever I serve it at a party, my guests are intrigued. In this version, I flavored the rice with only three vegetables: Butter beans, peppers and onion.

About:
I decided to put a creative twist on things and use the crêpes to create high-protein breakfast. The filling is super simple but so delicious; roasting adds crunchy texture to the veggies.
A wrap/crepe is always a good idea for breakfast/packed lunch. What’s more? Its healthy, easy and extremely tasty. Just prepare the batter for the crepe, mix your choice of veggies for filling and a sauce or a spread would be a good idea
