how to make Vegan Tortilla
Ingredients
- 350 g salad potatoes (sliced)
- 150 g chickpea flour (1 cup)
- 150 g silken tofu (~0.5 cup)
- 250 ml water (1 cup)
- ¾ tsp black salt (ground)
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp garlic powder/granules
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium brown onion (sliced)
Directions
- Start by adding the sliced potatoes to a saucepan. Cover them with boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water after cooking.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the batter. In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpea flour, silken tofu, water, black salt, turmeric, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and a grind of black pepper. Blend it until smooth.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan (20-25cm) over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion to the pan and fry it for 3-4 minutes until it is lightly browned and softened.
- Add the cooked and drained sliced potatoes to the pan. Stir to mix the potatoes and onions, then arrange them in a flat layer.
- Pour the batter evenly over the potatoes and onions. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the top has no runny liquid left but is still soft.
- When the first side is cooked, it’s time to flip the omelette! Place a large, flat plate upside down on top of the pan. With your hand on the plate, flip the pan upside down, moving the tortilla onto the plate.
- Carefully slide the tortilla back into the pan on the uncooked side and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Once cooked, slide the vegan omelette onto a clean plate and it’s ready to serve.
