Ingredients
- 2 potatoes
- 1 onion (the flavor boss)
- 4 tbsp chickpea flour (veggie magic powder)
- 2 cups water
- 15-20 grains black salt (Kala Namak) (sulfur party starter)
- Pinch of salt
These ingredients come together like a cozy kitchen hug, proving that you don’t need eggs to whip up a Spanish omelette. Chickpea flour steps up as the star, soaking up flavors and holding everything in a delicious, plant-powered embrace. With approximately 15 grams of protein per cup when cooked, chickpeas provide a nutritious boost to this dish. Whether you’re vegan, flexitarian, or just here for the snacks, this recipe spells yum without the drama!
How to Make It
Alright, let’s plunge into making this Chickpea Flour Spanish Omelette—a plant-powered twist on a classic that’s so good, you might forget there’s no egg in sight.
Start by slicing up 2 potatoes and 1 onion, then toss them in your pan with a pinch of salt. Let them get cozy and sauté over medium heat until they’re soft and just starting to brown. This is where the magic begins—those onions and potatoes soak up all that salty goodness, basically begging to be wrapped up in chickpea flour goodness.
Speaking of chickpea flour, whisk together 4 tablespoons of it with 2 cups of water until you’ve got a thick, smooth batter that’s basically the vegan egg’s cooler cousin.
Once your spuds and onions look ready for their close-up, pour this chickpea mix right into the pan. You’ll want to keep cooking the whole thing gently so it browns nicely on the bottom—think golden and slightly crispy, like a cozy plant-based hug.
Now, here’s the fun part: flipping it! Slide a spatula under, give it a confident flip, and let the other side catch some color too. Patience is key here, but trust me, it’s worth it. Before you know it, you’ll have a vegan Spanish omelette that’s crispy, savory, and packed with all the yum.
And hey, if you’re feeling fancy, black salt (Kala Namak) is your secret weapon here—it adds that subtle “eggy” vibe without any actual eggs. Just 15-20 grains sprinkled in will do the trick. To complement your meal, consider serving it with a side of hummus and veggie platter, adding vibrant colors and flavors to your lunch.
Bonus Tips
- Feeling fancy? Toss in some fresh herbs like parsley or chives to turn your omelette from “meh” to “magnifique” without breaking a sweat.
- Craving a little crunch? Sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds on top before flipping—because your vegan Spanish omelette deserves a little sass.
- Don’t have black salt? No problemo—regular salt works, but Kala Namak is like the secret agent of vegan eggs, bringing that sneaky eggy flavor to the party.
