Ingredients
  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1 cup, sliced Mushrooms

Preparing the Chickpea Flour Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps. Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the chickpea flour to fully absorb the water.

Sautéing the Spinach and Mushrooms

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly browned. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Omelette

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the chickpea flour batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the edges start to lift. Gently loosen the edges with a spatula.

Adding the Filling and Folding

Spoon half of the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture onto one side of the omelette. Carefully fold the other side of the omelette over the filling. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

Serving

Slide the chickpea flour omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, if desired.
