Chef Tips

- Chop the spinach as finely as possible with a knife to distribute the green bits evenly in the dough. - Dry the spinach leaves well after washing so as not to introduce excess free water into the crepioca. - Sprinkle the grated cheese as soon as you flip the crepioca so that it melts while the other side browns.

Variations

- Blend the raw spinach together with the egg and tapioca in a blender to obtain a uniform green crepioca. - Add halved cherry tomatoes and oregano over the melted cheese for a pizza-style aromatic profile. - Add black sesame seeds to the raw dough to give a visual effect and crispy texture.

Substitutions

- Fresh spinach can be substituted with finely sliced collard greens or chopped fresh arugula. - The grated cheese can be parmesan, mozzarella, standard Minas cheese, or grated smoked ricotta. - Tapioca starch can be replaced by fine oat flakes to lower the glycemic index.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot skillet without fat for 1 to 2 minutes so the cheese softens again and the dough regains firmness.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the finished and cold crepiocas, stacked with sheets of parchment paper between them, for up to 45 days. To consume, place directly in a warm covered skillet until heated through.

What to Serve With

Accompanied by a green salad of fresh leaves with olive oil, pineapple juice with mint, or iced mate tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to sauté the spinach before mixing it into the dough?

Não é necessário; the finely chopped spinach cooks sufficiently in the 5 minutes of contact with the hot skillet, preserving its vitamins and fresh texture.

How to make the crepioca green throughout?

Beat the egg with the tapioca and spinach leaves in the blender or mixer for 30 seconds instead of mixing with a fork; the dough will have a homogeneous green color.

The dough stuck to the spatula when trying to flip it, how to solve it?

Wait the full 3 minutes until the base forms a firm golden film and the edges detach spontaneously from the pan before trying to flip.

Which cheese pairs best with spinach in this recipe?

The grated parmesan cheese brings intensity of salt and umami that balances very well the characteristic earthy tone of the spinach leaves.
