Vegan Omelette, It’s Good For You!
Love this recipe for it’s wholesome goodness and it’s flexibility. You can add all kinds of different sautéed veggies, or switch it up using fruit.
- 1/2 brick of firm tofu
- 1 tbs nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 2 tbs garbanzo bean flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp sage
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp mustard (Dijon is best)
- 1 tsp Kosher Worcestershire sauce (anchovy-free)
- 1/4 cup organic veggie broth (fat free)
Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, start with 1/4 cup of veggie broth. Throughly mix the ingredients (checkout Cuisinart Smart Stick) slowly adding additional veggie broth until you have thick pancake batter consistency. Spoon in a large dollop into your non-stick-pan (checkout Scanpan Cookware) and evenly work it flat into a pancake. Cook on a medium-low heat (covered) until the top starts to change color, then flip to the other side (if you can’t flip use a large spatula), ~5-7 minutes each side. Add your sautéed veggies, Daiya cheddar cheese and fold over. Plate it up and enjoy!

- 1 green bell pepper, diced medium
- 1 large carrot, diced small
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil + 2 teaspoons
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano
- 3 pinches of sea salt
- Couple of generous dashes of Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 2.5 cups of pinto beans (soaked over night), drained
- 1 cup of Negra Modelo beer
- 15 oz can of diced Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes
- .5 a can of organic tomato paste
- 1 1/2 cups organic veg broth (may add additional as needed)
- 1 tbl pure maple syrup
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Handful fresh cilantro, chopped (about a cup, lightly packed)
In a fry pan, cook onions, green bell pepper and carrots, until tender and a lightly brown. After 20 minutes add garlic, salt and spices (Save the cilantro for last).
In a second fry pan, put tempeh in and fill with water until it is almost covered. Add 2 teaspoons soy sauce and let simmer over high heat for 15 minutes, occasionally turning tempeh. When tempeh softens, mash with a fork, it should be crumbly. Lower heat to medium and lightly spray with canola oil, and saute for 15 more minutes.
Pour above ingredients into a large pot. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, beans, maple syrup, lemon juice, beer and water. Cook on medium heat for about an hour (stirring occasionally). Add cilantro. Serve!
