Ingredients
- 5 Medium Potatoes.
- 2 Medium onions.
- 90 gr. of Chickpea flour.
- 180 ml. of Water.
- ½ Tsp. of Himalayan salt.
- ½ Tsp. of Garlic powder.
- ½ Tsp. of Paprika.
- ¼ Cup of Olive oil.
- 1 Tbsp. of Nutritional yeast.
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onions. Fry the sliced onions with olive oil in a medium frying pan at medium heat, constantly stirring until they get soft. Once cooked to your taste, drain the fried onions and place them in a medium bowl.
- Peel and slice the potatoes (always sliced potatoes, you can use a food processor if you wish potatoes evenly cut).
- Then, fry the peeled potatoes with olive oil in a frying pan (it can be the same pan you use for the sliced onions) at medium heat stirring frequently. Cook until you see the potato edges slightly crispy. Drain the fried potatoes and place them in a medium bowl with the onions.
- In a small bowl, add the chickpea flour or gram flour, and pour the water. Mix the chickpea flour until you get a batter evenly without lumps.
- Season with garlic powder, paprika, Himalayan salt or regular sea salt, and nutritional yeast (optional).
- Pour the chickpea flour mixture into the medium bowl with the cooked potatoes and onions and mix them well.
- In a non-stick pan pour around 1 or 2 tbsp. of the reserved olive oil and place on the stove at medium heat. Add the potato and onion mixture into the frying pan and spread evenly.
- Cook evenly. With a spatula separate the Spanish omelette from the pan if necessary.
- Now the moment you've been waiting for. To flip the whole omelette you can use the plate technique. Place a plate on top of your Spanish omelette, place your hand on the plate and flip the omelette. Then, add more olive oil if necessary and carefully transfer the vegan Spanish omelette back into the pan and continue cooking until is lightly browned.
- Repeat the same flipping technique with the plate and the frying pan to cook the omelette if one of both sides is not completely cooked.
- This vegan omelette can be served warm and also it can be served cold. If you prefer this recipe not to be served hot you can let the omelette rest and then serve it cold.
