Fallen apart, open faced "omelet" topped with avocado, a pumpkin maple muffin from Thistle at 2nd Street Market, and a chocolate banana smoothie. |
So this past Saturday, the first of September actually, thought I could continue celebrating "oil free" accomplishment by attempting a tofu omelet.
Insert music of doom.
Da da da dum.
Vegetable "Omelet" Ingredients
1/2 package tofu (though I used extra firm, looks like it's highly recommended to use Mori-nu Lite Silken)
3 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Filling
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 cups spinach
1 cup cooked drained chickpeas
2 diced Roma tomatoes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 ripened avocado (does anyone really eat only half?)
salt and pepper to taste
There goes the batter in the medium heat nonstick pan, looking smooth. Looking fine. |
Yet 7 minutes later, the mean spatula made it fall apart upon flipping. I singlehandedly salvaged disaster by placing my filling on top. Thus, making it an open faced "omelet." |
In the end, a bit cohesive and a little messy, but certainly not scrambled, the opened faced "omelet" is topped with brown rice, Roma tomatoes, spinach, chickpeas, and sliced avocado. |
Tasted creamy and smooth, but I would have much preferred a more firmer texture. |
That happens often in these test kitchen experiments.
One minute, I'm sad and gloomy over my plate and the next, I wished not to have been so harsh when leftover crumbs are staring at me.
Still, wished I read this blog post here first: Low Fat Vegan Silken Tofu Omelet
Definitely a pivotal aide for my next "omelet" attempt and happily enough, her recipe doesn't call for any oil either! :D
