seasoning saved my omelette

Seasoning saved my chickpea omelette

It’s funny how sometimes you crave things even if you didn’t really eat them before. I was never a major egg eater, but from time to time I do miss the versatility of an egg. An omelette with a tasty blend of onion, mushrooms and red peppers with a hearty helping of baked beans always went down a treat. But in the world of plant based eating I searched for a way to replicate that fusion of flavours.

People tried to convince me that a chickpea omelette would be a tasty alternative but I tried that and it turns out that I don’t actually like the taste of chickpea flour.

And then I had an epiphany

It dawned on me that seasoning was the rescuer I had been looking for. If I could get my seasoning right then that might just make the omelette taste good.
