Eggless frittata

eggless frittata

Not the prettiest of dish but it’s is easy, very tasty, light but filling.

Frittata is a rich Italian dish, made with beaten eggs and whatever you might have in the fridge, it’s one of those things people do when they don’t have a clear idea of what to cook, or when it’s too late for any demanding preparation. It’s usually a savoury dish and never eaten for breakfast, as it’s the case with French omelettes.

Even though I am not vegan, I don’t like the taste of cooked eggs, so frittata is something I always avoided, even the smell puts me completely off!

So, this is something that looks like an Italian omelette but it’s vegan. Of course, if you want, you can add grated cheese.

The key is to get a nice mix of vegetables and cut them really small, I have grated potato, carrot and courgette and chopped the onionĀ  and the kale, you can mix whatever vegetable you like, and add your favourite spices and fresh herbs, flat leaf parsley works really well, I didn’t have any at the time I made the one in the photo.

As for the chickpea (garbanzo) flour, it’s very popular in Indian cooking, so if you don’t find it in health food shops try in Indian shops, it’s probably cheaper as well!
