Chickpea flour omelette with asparagus

Serves 2. 30 minutes. Allergens: none identified.

Ingredients

230g asparagus, chopped
45g chickpea flour
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp dried basil
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp turmeric
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
120ml water
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tsp olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Roast the asparagus for 10 minutes.
While the asparagus is cooking, mix the chickpea flour with all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add the water and chives.
Check the batter and add water by the tablespoon if it is not a pourable consistency. It should be like thick pancake batter.
Preheat oil in an iron frying pan over high heat. Once it’s hot, reduce the heat to medium and pour half of the batter into the centre of the frying pan.
Cover tightly and cook for 4 minutes. Add half the asparagus to one side of the omelet and fold the other half over it. Cover and cook for another 3 minutes.
Repeat with remaining ingredients for one more omelette. Serve warm.
