- 50 g chestnut flour;
- 125 ml cow’s milk (or soya milk for veg version);
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley;
- a pinch of salt grated;
- black pepper;
- grated nutmeg;
- 15 g melted butter at room temperature.
FOR THE REST
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil;

- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme with;
- a pinch of salt;
- a pinch of pepper;
- 4 tablespoons of sour cream (or fresh cream);

Procedure
Prepare the gluten-free crêpes with chestnut flour: shell the egg in a bowl and beat them together with a pinch of salt, pepper and a grating of nutmeg. Add the chestnut flour, previously sieved, alternating it with the milk. Once the batter is prepared, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley and melted butter. Stir. Place the batter in the refrigerator and let it rest for at least 1 hour. This batter can be kept in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
Heat a non-stick plate, grease lightly with butter, and pour in a mixture of batter. Move the plate circularly so that the batter is distributed evenly over the entire surface. Cook the crêpes 30 seconds per side. Continue to cook crepes until the batter runs out.
Prepare the filling: wash the mushrooms thoroughly, removing any soil residue, and cut them into coarse pieces. In a pan, heat the olive oil together with the poached garlic. Let the garlic brown for 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves. Brown over high heat. Blend them with the white wine, salt and pepper them. After about ten minutes, turn off the heat and add the sour cream (or fresh cream).
