Vegan crepes stuffed with vegetables



I have been making these crepes quite a bit on our vacation. I didn't have a recipe, just a small bag of flour and a carton of soy milk on hand. This was a shot in the dark and they turned out great! You could use any type of vegetable for a filling. I tend to prefer savory over sweet in the morning, but even some fresh chopped strawberries would be delicious....

I have been lucky with the apartments we have been renting, most come with kitchens that are pretty much fully loaded. When making crepes at home you should use a small non-stick pan to make life easier.

Vegan Crepes

1 cup flour
1 1/4 cup soy milk
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Mix up with a whisk until smooth.
Heat pan on medium heat, rub a little olive oil on the pan..about 1/4 tsp.
Using a ladle scoop a small amount of batter into the middle of the pan.
Lift pan, and rotate the batter until it makes a big circle.
Place back down on heat. Allow to cook until you see the batter cooked.
It will change color.
Flip. Place filling inside and fold in half.
YUM!

MOFO Iron Chef Challange: Chickpea Frittata



Its a Vegan MOFO Iron Chef Challenge and the secret ingrident is...

CHICKPEAS!

I thought it would be fun to do a brunch recipe..since that is what time of day it is for us here, and I am starving. I have made vegan quiche lots but never a vegan frittata. Its basically a quiche without the crust and filled with vegetables.  I did mine in a casserole dish in the oven..but I am sure you could try and cook it in a non-stick skillet too. O yeah..its gluten free too!



Chickpea Frittata

1 block medium tofu
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup nutrional yeast
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chickpea flour

1 potato peeled and small diced
1 large shallot-sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup chickpeas
1/2 tsp garlic powder
fresh ground pepper
sea salt to taste
fresh parsley (optional)
green onions (optional)
fresh tomato slices (optional)

Using a blender, mix up the first 6 ingriedents.
Over medium heat saute the potato until golden, add the rest of the veggies and season to taste.
In greased casserole dish combine the soy mixture with veggies. Bake at 375 for 50 minutes.
