  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 150 g Mushrooms sliced
  • 150 g Spinach leaves
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Omelette

  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan or Black Salt (Kala Namak)

  • 180ml + 2 tbsp (30ml) Plant milk
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive oil or olive oil spray for cooking

Instructions

Start with the Sauce

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 10-20 seconds to create a fluffy, garlic sauce.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

The Filling

  • In a small pan over a medium heat, add the oil and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and aromatic.
  • Add the peas and mushrooms for two minutes. Remove from heat and add the spinach, stirring to combine..
  • Season and set aside.

Make the Omelette

  • Add the flour, nutritional yeast, spices, baking powder and salt into a bowl, mixing to combine.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the milk and mustard, stirring until a batter forms.
  • Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan, over a medium heat.
  • Spoon a ladle of the batter into the pan, swirling the pan in a circular motion, so it spreads evenly across the base .
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Add the filling to the middle of the batter, then fold in half over the filling using a spatula.
  • Serve immediately, with a side of salad or roast veggies as desired, drizzled with a few tablespoons of the creamy garlic sauce. Store the rest in a jar for later use.
  • Sprinkle over fresh micro herbs for extra flavour.
