Tortilla Española Vegana is a delightful twist on the traditional Spanish tortilla, featuring a fluffy chickpea flour base and hearty vegetables, making it a satisfying and nutritious vegan lunch option. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection, this dish is both comforting and full of flavor.

Ingredients

• chickpea flour - 150 grams
• water - 200 milliliters
• potato - 2 medium (about 300 grams)
• onion - 1 small (about 100 grams)
• bell pepper - 1 small (about 100 grams)
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)

Steps

1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onion. Dice the bell pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onion, cooking for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden, stirring occasionally.
3. While the potatoes and onion are cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
4. Once the potatoes and onion are cooked, add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.
5. Pour the chickpea flour mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, gently stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat until the edges start to set.
6. Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate or lid, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Slide the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden and firm.
7. Once done, remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
