Chicken, mushroom, spinach omelet

Servings: 2

Nutrition: 212 calories, 3.4g fat (0g saturated fat), 654mg sodium, 32.8g carbs, 7g fiber, 7.5g sugar, 13.2g protein (excluding cheese)

When you don't have eggs in your vegan diet, you can make a vegetable omelet. The chickpea flour used in this recipe may taste a bit like… chalk, but the flavor is impressive with spring onions and crispy red bell peppers.

Material

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 cup of filtered water
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 sprigs scallions (board onions)
• ½ red bell pepper
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1 cup sliced ​​mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce/tamari
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• ¼ cup cashew nacho cheese sauce (homemade)

Making

To prepare this dish, you can prepare some vegan nacho cheese according to the following recipe:

Vegan nacho cheese sauce

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 2/3 cup water
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• About 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• About 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)

Soak cashews in warm water for at least 1 hour. Rinse the cashews, put them in a blender with water, nutritional yeast, salt, smoked paprika and turmeric. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Taste and season to taste. The sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for several days.

Chicken and vegetable omelet

1. Prepare the dough by combining the dry ingredients (chickpea flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper) in a bowl and mixing them together. Then, add 1 cup of filtered water and stir until there are no lumps. Finally, add some finely diced red bell pepper and finely chopped scallions and stir well.
2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, add spinach and mushrooms and saute with a little water and soy sauce for 10 minutes.
3. Just like how crepes are made, there are two key factors to successful omelet cooking: temperature and non-stick. The heat should be high enough for you to hear a sizzling sound when the batter hits the pan, and the pan should be nonstick (preferably a ceramic pan).

Put a little vegetable oil in a non-stick pan and turn the heat to medium-high (do not burn the oil). Then pour in half of the chickpea flour mix and coat in a thin round layer. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the top, is slightly cooked. Turn the dough over and cook for another 3 minutes.

For a traditional omelet, you'll add the filling and then double the egg in the pan. But with this vegetarian omelet, you cook both sides so it's easy to double.

4. Top with cooked chickpea flour with nacho cheese sauce, cashew nuts, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, 1-2 sprigs of fresh parsley. Use a clever patch to fold the thin layer of dough in half and put it on a plate.
5. In addition to bell peppers and green onions mixed with chickpea flour, you can be more creative with the following suggestions:

• Avocado and salsa
• Steamed black beans
• Sauteed Young Asparagus
