Nutritional Yeast (aka Nooch or “Hippie Dust”) is praised by pizza-loving vegans everywhere, but what is it, and why should you be putting it on your popcorn next time you go to the movies? We’ll find out in this episode of Fresh Pickings. Dave Arnold, co-host of Heritage Radio Network’s podcast Cooking Issues will give us the lowdown on what nutritional yeast actually is.
Then, Vegan Low Glycemic Load blogger Elizabeth Taylor is back to give us a recipe that uses nutritional yeast and chickpea flour in this Chickpea Flour Omelette with Chipotle-Grilled Tomato! Tune in here.
1 cup
Curly Kale
rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
scant 1/4 tsp
Soy Sauce
or coconut aminos
Grilled Tomato
scant amount of olive oil for your grill or grill-pan
or other high heat
1 large
ripe Tomato
(beefsteak style works well)
1/2 tsp
Chipotle Powder
Salt
for sprinkling
Instructions
Begin to heat your grill/grill pan on medium-high. Evenly brush on the oil. Combine all of the dry omelette ingredients (from chickpea flour to baking soda) and pour in the water, forming the “batter.” Whisk until no lumps remain.
Add the olive oil to a small, nonstick pan and heat on medium. Once hot, add your kale and sauté until the edges are brown and crisp, stirring occasionally, adding the soy sauce towards the end.
Slice your tomato into 1/2-inch thick slices. Using your fingertips, gently rub each side of each slice with the chipotle powder and salt, and set aside on a clean plate.
Once the soy sauce is absorbed by the kale, place your tomato slices onto the grill, and add the batter to the pan, pouring over the kale.
Leave the batter alone (no stirring) until bubbles begin to form. Then, flip your “omelette” and turn over your tomatoes approximately one minute after. The omelette is done when cooked through; the tomatoes are done when grill marks are visible on each side.
