Chickpea Flour Omelets with Asparagus

Sprinkle with salt to taste, if you like, and set aside. While the asparagus is cooking, mix the chickpea flour with all dry ingredients (nutritional yeast through black pepper) in a medium mixing bowl.

Add the water, chives, and bell pepper. Allow to stand and thicken while the asparagus cooks or about 10 minutes. Check the batter and add water by the tablespoon if it is not a pourable consistency. It should be like thick pancake batter. Preheat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over high heat. Once it’s hot, reduce the heat to medium and pour half of the batter (about 2/3 cup) into the center of the skillet. Smooth it with the back of a spoon until it’s a circle about 6 inches in diameter. If you’re using tomatoes, sprinkle half of them on top. Cover tightly and cook for 4 minutes or until the top begins to look bread-like rather than liquidy.

Add half the asparagus to one side of the omelet and fold the other half over it. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients for one more omelet.

Serve warm.
