Easy Vegan Chickpea Omelette

I have seen many different versions of this dish. Some versions recommend adding baking powder and some vinegar. To be honest, I really don’t like this method. I find the omelette to be much more tastier and with better texture when you don’t use any raising agents.

This recipe makes 1-2 Omelettes

Equipment needed: mixing bowl, frying pan, whisk, spatula, oven

Total Time: 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 large heaping Tbsp chickpea flour (it should be superfine, “PaPa” flour and TRS gram flour are perfect for example)
• ½ tsp (black) salt
• pinch of ground black pepper
• 8 Tbsp water
• 1 small onion
• (a big bunch of fresh herbs (dill, spring onions and basil for example))
• 2 Tbsp oil

METHOD:

• Whisk chickpea flour with salt and pepper.
• Add water and whisk until you have a creamy omelette batter.
• Add thinly sliced or chopped onions and chopped herbs OR pan-fry the onions first in some oil until light golden brown and then add the onions to the omelette batter.
• Mix everything together.
• Heat up some oil in a pan.
• Scoop all the batter onto the pan and spread it out with a spoon so you have a nice round omelette.
• Cook for a few minutes (don’t cover the pan with a lid!).
• Flip the omelette over (use a thin spatula) and cook for a couple more minutes. Remove the heat. Let it cool a little bit.
