OUR RECIPE: VEGAN OMELETTE

The vegan version of a traditional homemade omelet is easier than you thought. The main ingredient is chickpea flour, this flour can be found in the supermarket.

You can also prepare your own chickpea flour at home, you will only need your raw and clean chickpeas and a high-power blender (it is important to use a blender jar that is made of glass since a plastic one could break).

Once you have the flour, you will only need a few seasonings to give your omelet a delicious flavor. The filling can be made from the vegetables you like the most, for example, green leaves such as kale, spinach, and chard or even with mushrooms, tomatoes, and beets. Use your creativity and add the ingredients that you like the most.

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT OMELETTE

• Use a frying pan in good condition, clean, and preferably made of ceramic or ceramic, or granite coating.
• That the pan is properly oiled, I am not referring to an excess of oil but to the application with a brush or napkin over the entire surface.
• The mixture should have a consistency similar to that of a pancake or pancake mix, it should not be too watery or too thick.
• The difference in flour can change the consistency, some are very fine or some have a slightly coarser grind than when we make it at home.
• You can always adjust the amount of water and flour.

We hope you enjoy this recipe very much and experiment with it, to create new flavors.

STEP 3: Prepare the pan, remember that it must be in good condition. Oil with the help of a brush or cloth. Place it over medium heat.

STEP 4: When the pan is hot (you don't want it to be smoking because it will be burning the oil) pour the mixture with the help of a ladle. Spread on the surface and with the help of a spatula, flatten if necessary to even out the omelet. Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat to the lowest setting. Wait 1-3 minutes.

STEP 5: When the omelet is golden brown on the bottom and the top surface begins to look cooked, turn with the help of a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes so that it is golden on both sides.

STEP 6: Remove from heat when ready and serve with the filling of your choice.
