Why, oh why don't I have this more often?
I've just made a quick version of this for lunch, which was absolutely fabulous - and only 184 calories!
Lightly fry the tomato and mushroom to soften, and sprinkle with black pepper.
Then:
Filling:
1 rounded dessertspoon hummus
1 sliced tomato
1 sliced mushroom
Method - as below.
Calorie count:
75g tomato - 14
Total 184 calories

I just love chick-pea (gram) flour! It is full of flavour - and so useful in the kitchen.
Here's a lovely, socca based, vegan, gluten-free, soya-free omelette-type dish. Dead easy - and dead gorgeous!
This 'omelette' totals roughly 263 calories for those watching their weight. Served with the potato wedges linked to below, plus a serving of broccoli, the total comes to approximately 375.
Ingredients:
30g gram flour
Pinch of salt (optional)
75ml water
5 squirts of 'One-cal' olive oil (for the frying pan)
Mix together, and add:
5 slices of jalapeno peppers, chopped fine
1 sun-dried tomato, chopped small
Filling:
Houmous
Sprinkle of lemon juice
1 field mushroom, sliced and lightly fried
Black pepper
Method:
Heat a medium-sized frying pan with a little oil (or, for calorie counters, use about 5 squirts of 'One-cal'), and pour in the batter.
Allow the pancake to cook for about 4-5 minutes, then, to make sure it's not sticking to the pan, gently lift the edges up all round with a spatula.
Spread houmous over one half of it, sprinkle with lemon juice, then place the mushroom slices over the houmous.
Sprinkle with black pepper, then fold the other side of the pancake over the filling.
Serve with curried potato wedges and broccoli.
30g gram flour - 101c
16g jalapenos - 4
16g sun dried tomatoes - 33
40g houmous - 120
36g mushroom - 5
5 squirts of oil - 5
Total - 268
Plus 100g curried potato wedges - 87 cals, and broccoli - 15 cals
370 calories in total!
Note: If you want an even lower-calorie meal, substitute the houmous with more mushrooms and sliced tomato. The meal would probably come in at around 270 cals in total!

Lovely to make your acquaintance through#veganrecipehour. I am not vegan, but I might as well be as i do cook and eat a lot of vegan meals. I am excited to have found your blog, i love gram flour and have recently been making vegan tarts with it, I've had gram flour lots of ways, but not as a omelette, so will try this out for sure.
ReplyDeleteHi Shaheen. Thanks for stopping by - I also love gram flour, and it was great to get your input, yesterday.
