If you remember the time I tried to make omelette with chickpea flour... that was a no go 😅 So I decided to try another sort of vegan omelette with a tofu basis this time. That was MUCH better !! Here is the recipe from  The minimalist baker if you want to try it 😃 The taste was really ok this time. Still not like an omelette omelette but approaching enough to satisfy me :) The consistence was a little too wet thought so if I make this recipe again I might try with firm tofu that I press before and then run in the food processor instead of silken tofu which is way too wet for this recipe ( even firm silken tofu ) So here is the result, vegan omelette with homemade salsa and "pommes duchesses" ( French piped potato swirls ) It's normally made with butter and heavy cream but I found this vegan recipe that worked like a charm : Recipe from Patate et cornichon The recipe is in French but as it is a video I guess you might understand it even if you don...

A Venezuelan friend came to my house one evening and showed me how to make Arepas. Arepas is corn bread that you fry and then fill with what you want to fill with. Black beans and cheese. Meat with tomato sauce... On this day we used vegan chicken with tomato sauce and vegan cheddar. That was really delicious !❤ The recipe is really simple. You use this corn flour : And you mix with water. The consistence is right when you can make a ball in your hand and there is no cracks. Then you form small balls that you flatten with the palm of your hand before frying it in the pan. It's ready when the color is right ( see the picture ) After that it's just to enjoy. You can eat the Arepas as they are ( I did... a lot ! because it's so good ) or you open them with a knife and fill them with what you want to. No need to say you... I went crazy about these things. So I made more of them. Then I saw a video on internet of somebody from El Salvador who was ma...

Tonight I tried to make vegan omelette… lol. I tried a recipe made with chickpea flour. There is a ton of those recipes on the internet. I won't put you the link because... it's not worth it.  Really. Don't make a vegan omelette with chickpea flour. Just don't. That doesn't taste like omelette AT ALL. That is not really good either. Not really bad I have to say. Eatable. But nothing to do with omelette. Those who pretend that have stopped eating eggs for way too long to remember how it tastes. This thing tastes like a bad chickpea cake. Not really bad. I ate it. I did. But I won't do it again. Nope ! No thanks ! It wasn't really pretty either. Oh yeah... I could work on it and make it look like the real deal. But I don't see the point. I am not interested in making something beautiful if the taste is not following. So there. I tried it for you. You don't need to try it yourself 😂 I spared you that at least.
