Eggless mushroom and greens frittata
Ingredients: (Makes about 18 little frittatas)
• 250 grams chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• good pinch of black pepper
• 325 millilitres water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 300 grams mushrooms, sliced (if you don’t have mushrooms, you could try leeks)
• 100 grams greens, washed (spinach, kale or even grated broccoli stalk are a good alternative)
• 5 spring onions, sliced (brown or red onions thinly sliced will work great too)
• small bunch of soft fresh herbs, chopped
• 2 teaspoons nigella (onion) seeds (optional)
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200C and prepare a 12-hole and a 6-hole muffin tin by brushing the inside with oil.
2. Combine the chickpea flour, water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, baking powder, salt and pepper using a whisk. Allow this to sit while you get on with cooking the vegetables.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and first cook the mushrooms, allowing them to brown slightly before adding the spinach, spring onion, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and toss through the chopped herbs.
4. Add the cooked veg to the bottom of the muffin cups then fill with the chickpea batter. Giving each a stir to ensure the batter gets under the veg.
5. Once filled, sprinkle nigella seeds on top and place the trays in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow the frittatas to cool for 10 mins before running a knife around the edge and removing from the tray.
