Directions
Plantain Omelette (Vegan), This was an interesting idea and I’m definitely going to come up with other fillings for this omelette as well The plantains are a bit sweet and the garlic cashew cheese compliments them very nicely I think sauteed onions, garlic, bell peppers, avocado, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and diced fried potatoes in any combination would work as well You can substitute green bananas if you can’t get plantains Feel free to use vegan cheese instead of the nut cheese You can also boil the plantains ahead of time and let cool in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the dish This is not an egg substitute – this is a whole new spin off here and it actually really works – nice breakfast meal and very satisfying without all the artery clogging Adapted from Vegan Fusion World Cuisine by Mark Reinfeld and Bo Rinaldi, I’ve made this recipe several times, but use about 3 cups of wheat flour as the plantains are way too soft, moist and sticky to simply form a dough with only a 1/2 cup of flour Even once formed, the discs/cakes are real soft as well as sticky, and they tend to stick to anything including themselves; therefore, I have to flour each cake/disk well and place baking or wax paper between the discs I also flour them well in order to keep them from sticking when I fold them for careful transport to the side in order to to make room for the next disc and then to the pan where I then use the spatula to help lay them evenly into the pan It’s a difficult process, but the result is delicious!
