The other day I made my first vegan Spanish omelette. Now, for most people, this would not mean much, just another recipe. For me, however, this was an AMAZING discovery! And I had to type that in caps because it was. I am extremely happy that now I can make a vegan Spanish omelette. As a Spaniard, I grew up with it, it was always my favourite and it takes me back home (to my mum's kitchen) every time I have it. When I went vegan a few months ago, Spanish omelette was the only thing that actually made me really sad to think I could never have again. But those days are over! Because this guy tastes sooo similar to the "real" thing.
You cannot even tell the difference when it is in a sandwich! (As above). I have tried a baked tofu one and most people (the few vegans I have met so far) would make it that way, but I think this is the way Spanish vegans make it. And for me, that means something. I took the recipe from this video, although it is in Valencian (or Catalan).
It is simple though, if you know how to make a proper Spanish omelette. You just need to substitute each egg for a tablespoon of chickpea flour (so if you were going to make a 4-egg omelette, you put 4 tablespoons of flour) and then add sparkling or still water (I used sparkling) until the consistency resembles eggs'. I think I used about half a small bottle of water.
I cannot wait to have this again!
