[ESP] | [ENG] — Árbol de Navidad de Crepes de Avena || Oatmeal Crepes Christmas Tree.

We continue with the Christmas recipes!

It had taken me a while to share another recipe inspired by this time of the year. These past few weeks have been quite busy and I haven't had much time to even prepare a nice breakfast like the ones I like so much, but well...finally, here we are.

This recipe today is similar to the one I shared a few days ago, only this time this Christmas tree for breakfast is not in 3D. This idea is great for surprising kids and even adults who love themed breakfasts, plus, it's pretty easy to prepare. The only "strange" ingredient is the green food coloring, but we can still do without it and decorate with some things we have on hand...it's all a matter of creativity!

Lo primero que haremos será hidratar un poco de avena. Para ello le agregaremos una pequeña cantidad de agua, sólo hasta cubrir los copos. Dejaremos reposar durante unos cinco a diez minutos. Luego, colocaremos todos los ingredientes en la licuadora y trituramos hasta que no queden grumos.

La mezcla resultante será un poco líquida, algo parecido a lo que te muestro a continuación:

The first thing we will do is to hydrate some oatmeal. To do this we will add a small amount of water, just to cover the flakes. Let it stand for about five to ten minutes. Then, we will place all the ingredients in the blender and grind until there are no lumps.

The resulting mixture will be a little liquid, something similar to what I show you below:

Es momento de cocinar las crepes y para ello lo haremos en una sartén bien caliente y previamente engrasada. Esparciremos la mezcla hasta lograr obtener una crepe lo más delgada y cuando las orillas comiencen a despegarse de la superficie de la sartén, es momento de darles la vuelta. Yo hice crepes de diferentes tamaños para armar el árbol de una mejor manera.

Ahora, para la decoración empleé yogurt griego. Lo que hice fue colocar una cucharadita en una bolsa de plástico pequeña y a una de sus puntas le abrí pequeño hueco para darle una forma bonita. Finalmente, decoré con algunos Sprinkles y para la estrella en la punta del árbol empleé mango.

It is time to cook the crepes and for this we will do it in a very hot and previously greased pan. Spread the mixture until you get a thin crepe and when the edges begin to peel off the surface of the pan, it is time to turn them over. I made crepes of different sizes so that I could assemble the tree in a better way.

Now, for the decoration I used Greek yogurt. What I did was to place a teaspoon in a small plastic bag and at one of its ends I opened a small hole to give it a nice shape. Finally, I decorated with some Sprinkles and for the star at the tip of the tree I used mango.

¿Acaso este árbol de navidad comestible no es demasiado adorable? Mi padre al verlo lo único que me dijo fue: "tú realmente haces arte con la comida". Me quedé pensando en ese comentario porque realmente nunca lo había visto de esa forma, pero sí...cocinar es definitivamente un arte y es algo que, al parecer, se me da bastante bien (sin ánimos de sonar egocéntrica).

¿De dónde me vienen las ideas? No lo sé, simplemente me dejo llevar y termino obteniendo resultados como este que me hacen estar bastante contenta y satisfecha.

Isn't this edible Christmas tree just too adorable? When my father saw it, all he said to me was: "you really make art with food". I kept thinking about that comment because I had never really looked at it that way, but yes...cooking is definitely an art and it's something I'm apparently pretty good at (not to sound self-centered).

Where do I get my ideas from? I don't know, I just get carried away and end up getting results like this that make me quite happy and satisfied.

¡Cuéntenme! ¿Qué tal les ha parecido esta idea? ¿Se atreverían a preparar algo así?

Tell me, what do you think of this idea and would you dare to prepare something like this?
