Socca (chickpea flatbread) or vegan omelet?
I had socca made by talented @alenka007 at #fulfilledworkshops, loved it, and it also reminded me of the vegan omelet at my favorite vegan restaurant @sanctuarybistro. They definitely shared some similarities. Last week I found out the restaurant was closed, so there was an urge to try to make it.
I have tried different ratios, adding different spices and even vegan milk, ended up settling with the two recipes below :)
Vegan omelet serves 2 with a 6" to 8 " skillet ( I like it thin and crispy) , check out my Instagram stories :)
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/2 cup water + 1 TBS water + 1 TBS olive oil
Salt 1/8 tsp
Garlic powder 1 tsp
Onion powder 1 tsp
Curry powder 1/8 tsp
Himalayan black salt 1/8 tsp (Kala Namak, the smelly sulfur-containing salt gives us the egg-like flavor)
1-2 TBS Cooking oil ( I like to use unrefined coconut oil and red palm oil for cooking)
Instructions:
Whisk to combine chickpea flour, water, olive oil , salt, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, and Kala Namak in a mixing bowl
Set aside for an hour, (I like to prepare the batter the night before and keep it in the fridge. )
Oil the cast iron skillet
Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat
Use a ladle to add half of the batter to the skillet
Let it sit there for a while until it begins to bubble
Place the prepared filling on one side of the omelet
Fold the omelet in half with a large spatula
Cook for a few minutes until golden brown
