I had to create a chickpea omelette recipe for my Re-pot service and I was a bit skeptical, fearing that it might turn out more like a savory, filled pancake rather than an omelette. Plus, I used to prefer runny omelettes before turning vegan! But in the end, thanks to the chickpea flour, the result is soft and tender. I added some cream at the end of cooking to emphasize this!

For the filling, I chose mushrooms and spinach 😍 And I add a bit of maple syrup to the mixture as I find that chickpea flour has a slightly bitter taste that needs to be balanced out.

Steps

In a bowl, whisk the chickpea flour with the turmeric and some salt. Pour in the water and maple syrup, and whisk again.
Slice the mushrooms.
In a frying pan, heat the oil. Sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes until they are golden. Add the spinach, salt, and pepper. When the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the pan.
I find it easier to cook each omelette separately: in the greased and hot pan over high heat, pour half of the omelette mixture. Add half of the sautéed vegetables. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour half of the soy cream. Then fold the omelette over itself. Serve.
Repeat the process with the other half of the mixture to serve the second omelette.
