A great vegan version of the popular and versatile omelette! In this case I used asparagus as topping but you can use kale, spinach or other greens. You can find black salt at Indian grocers and it will give that subtly sulphuric taste found in egg omlettes.

Ingredients

45 mins
3 - 4 servings
  1. 1,5 cupsChickpea Flour (375 ml)
  2. 5 mlBlack Salt (or Herb Salt)
  3. 2.5 mlTumeric
  4. 5 mlHing (garlic /onion alternative)
  5. 1.5 CupsWater (375 ml)
  6. 1 cupPacked Cauliflower Rice
  7. 2 BunchesAsparagus (about 20 spears)
  8. 5 mlLemon Juice
  9. Black Pepper (optional seasoning)

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Place dry ingredients in a bowl and add water bit by bit while stirring with a wire wisk. Next stir in the cauliflower (about two cups of cauliflower florets, washed and blended in food processor or grated finely by hand).

  2. 2

    Wash the asparagus and chop the bottom two thirds of the stems into thin slices. Sauté in a bit of coconut oil. Add 30 ml water and cover with lid, stirring occasionally. Add the asparagus tips which you kept whole. Continue to sauté until tender yet firm. Add lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Pour a thin layer of the batter into a hot pan. Reduce heat. Dedvide topping into the amount of portions you wish to cook. Add topping for each omelette on top.

  4. 4

    Cook for a few minutes until you are able to slide a spatula under the omlette and flip over. Cook on the other side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Flip over again to serve with topping on top. Season to taste with black pepper and some herb salt. Repeat for every omlette. The runnier your batter, the thinner the omlette will be and the longer it is cooked on low heat the crispier it will become. So play around with consistency and temperature until it is ideal for your taste. Serve with home made tomatoe sauce. Enjoy!

  6. 6

    Alternatively you can top your omlette (pancake) with raw vegetables after it has been cooked on both sides. Avo tomatoe slices and baby spinach works well.

I like really healthy yet tasty food! I'm transitioning from lacto-vegetarian to a vegan diet at the moment, so I will often give a vegan as well as dairy option. I don't use any garlic or onions but a root powder from India called hing or asoefetida (which you can source from Indian grocers - inbox me for details if you are in the Cape Town area - or you can use sauteed garlic and onion if you like). I hope we can inspire each other on this culinary journey.By the way: for those who are not used to metric measurements - teaspoon = 5 ml / tablespoon = 15 ml / cup = 250 ml / half cup = 125 ml / quarter cup = 62,5 ml / 1 kg = 2lb 3.2 oz
