Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 cup Silken tofu
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chopped dill
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water while whisking to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the herb sauce, blend silken tofu, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, chives, and almond milk in a blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly into a round shape with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles start forming on the surface.
Place half of the sautéed vegetable mixture onto one half of the omelette. Use a spatula to fold the omelette over the filling, cook for another 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Repeat the omelette process with the remaining batter and filling to make the second omelette.
Serve the omelettes warm, drizzled with creamy herb sauce, and garnish with extra dill or chives if desired.
