    Lentil Veggie Asparagus Frittata. Blended red lentils make the egg in this lentil frittata filled with Spring vegetables. Also can be made with Moong Dal, split mung beans. Easy Vegan Gluten-free Soy-free Recipe | VeganRicha.com

    Yes, that is not chickpea flour and not tofu! Just some good old red lentils (masoor dal). 

    Red Lentils are soaked for 15-20 mins. Then blended with water, spices, baking powder, kala namak. The veggies are cooked slightly with spices, then distributed in the pan. Then the lentil batter is spread on top. Bake and done!

    Chickpeas and chickpea flour are the in thing these days. They are easily available too. Often, I want to use other beans and lentils in the recipes but end up using chickpeas. Its because of the ease of availability and the familiarity of the readers. Red lentils are coming up right behind chickpeas. Easily available, super quick cooking, protein filled and delicious. Try this frittata with red lentils. You can also use the chickpea flour mixture from this Broccolini frittata, or use this lentil batter in the broccolini frittata for variation. You can also use moong dal (split and skinned mung beans) or a mix of red lentils andmoong dal to make the batter. Make this into a quiche by using a prebaked quiche crust. Add spices and blends of choice. Fold in some smoke coconut (coconut bacon). Get baking!

    Ingredients

    For the lentil eggy mix:

    • 1/2 cup (90 g) red lentils masoor dal, split red lentils, or use Moong Dal
    • 1 cup (250 ml) water
    • 1/4 cup (28 g) almond meal
    • 1 tbsp flax seed meal or chia seed meal
    • 2 tsp starch like cornstarch or arrowroot starch
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 2/3 tsp (0.67 tsp) salt
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) turmeric for color 1/8 tsp or more Indian kala namak (Indian sulphur salt) - for the eggy taste (optional)
    • 1/3 tsp (0.33 tsp) each of garlic powder, chipotle pepper powder and garam masala or use other spice blend and cayenne
    • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tbsp or more nutritional yeast
    • 2 tsp or more sun-dried tomato optional
    • 1 tsp lemon juice

    for the veggies:

    • 1 tsp oil
    • 1/2 cup (80 g) chopped onion
    • 3 large cloves of garlic
    • 1 loaded cup asparagus chopped into 1 inch size bites
    • 2 cups (1774 g) chopped veggies. I use a cup cauliflower small florets, 1/2 cup chopped carrots and some red bell pepper, peas, mushrooms etc.
    • 1/2 cup (15 g) packed baby spinach I used spinach + celery leaves + 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    • 1/3 tsp (0.33 tsp) salt or to taste
    • 1/3 tsp (0.33 tsp) chipotle pepper powder a dash of black pepper
    • 1/4-1/2 tsp (0.25 tsp) each oregano and thyme

    Instructions

    • Soak the lentils in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Soak them before you get the ingredients together as the rest of the steps will take about that much time. Prepare your pan by lining with parchment or greasing well. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F / 180ºc

    Make the veggie mixture:

    • Chop up the veggies and keep aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and cook until onions are translucent. 3-4 mins.
    • Add the asparagus, cauliflower, carrots and other veggies if using and mix in. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add in the spices, greens and mix in. Cover and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until the greens are wilted. Take off heat and Let it sit covered for another minute.

    Make the eggy mix:

    • Drain the lentils and blend with 1 cup water. Blend for atleast a minute. Add the almond flour and the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. I blended 2 full 50 second cycles in the blendtec.
    • Transfer the veggies to the parchment lined pan. Mix in vegan cheese shreds if using.
    • Drizzle the lentil mixture on the veggies and spread with a spatula. Tap once or twice so the mixture settles on the veggies.
    • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until a tooth pick from the center comes out almost clean and not wet.
    • Cool in the pan for 10 mintues, Then cool on the cooling rack for another 5-10 before slicing. Serve with avocado and sriracha or other sauce, chutney or dressing.

    Notes

    Variations: add chopped sundried tomatoes to the veggie mix.
    Add vegan cheddar cheese shreds or other vegan cheese, mix into the veggies.
    Make Pancakes/small omelets: Chop the veggies smaller, cook and mix into the batter. Make fat pancakes of the lentil batter on a skillet and cook both sides

      Hello,

      Thanks for this recipe, it tastes great! I made a simple spicy sauce by mixing hot bell pepper paste, tomato paste, tahini, lemon juice, soy cream and water. We had it for dinner with a big salad and I had some more for breakfast, yum! Will definitely do it again.

          Thank you and I did use them. I even added a bit more and cut down on the water by about 1/4, but it cooked for 90 minutes total and was still very wet. I sauteed the veggies and didn’t add til ready to assemble and only sprinkled a small amount of vegan cheese on them before adding the bean flour mixture. It reminded me of “spoon bread”. I had cauliflower, red pepper the onions garlic etc as well as the heaping cup of asparagus. I did add some small chopped grape tomatoes, but not so much as to make the veggies wet…sauteed them all and added the baby spinach. We went ahead and ate the breakfast potatoes on your blog which were great.

      This was such a hit! Had people over for dinner, four adults and two kids so doubled the recipe and there wasn’t a crumb left. I didn’t have asparagus, mushrooms or cauliflower so used a very weird mix of whatever was on hand (roasted butternut squash, corn, peas, spinach and zucchini). Was so so delicious and I think pretty much anything would work in it. Thank you for this amazing recipe!

      Richa, do you have any suggestions for making this dish ahead of time? I want to serve it for lunch on Easter but won’t have much time that day. I am thinking of cooking the veggies the day before, and refrigerating them overnight. Can I pre-mix the batter and refrigerate it overnight, then assemble all the ingredients just before baking? Thank you!

        Yes you cam make the veggies and the batter and assemble and bake on the day. Keep the veggies out of the batter as you said so that they dont lose moisture in the batter

      This was easy to make and turned out perfectly. Light, fluffy and cheesy. I didn’t have almond flour/meal so I used oat flour instead. For the veggies I used what was in the fridge-shiitake mushrooms, brussel sprouts, potatoes, asparagus and red bell pepper. Hubby and I loved it and are looking forward to having leftovers tomorrow. Thanks Richa you’re the best!

      Do you think that white bean flour could be used as an alternative? How could this affect the recipe?

      White beans work in quiches and cheeses, so this shouldn’t be impossible. Your white bean and broccoli fritatta is outstanding, by the way.

      Hi Richa, This dish is quite unlike things I usually make but I made it last night and everyone loved it! Wished i’d been a bit more generous with the chipotle (had to use sauce as i didn’t have powder and i was a bit timorous!). Thanks for inspiration!

        both lentils are the same family. so i am not sure if it will work. you can try it out with canned lentils. puree them to a thick batter to use. the baked color might be brown grey.

          it’s almond meal (ground almonds) so you can substitute any other nut like Ground Sunflower Seeds. …
          Other ground nuts like hazelnuts would be nice.

      Richa, thank you, thank you, for such a fabulous recipe.

      I was looking for a healthy and filling breakfast dish and this fits exactly what I was looking for. Although, this dish works well for lunch or dinner also.

      Once I remove from the oven I brush with a little oil from the sun dried tomatoes. It adds a little more flavor and keeps it moist. (Not that it needs more flavor but since I had the oil handy I used it with wonderful results)

      You are a genius. I never would have thought to soak the lentils and puree…love it.

      Look forward to trying your other recipes. Thanks again!

      I love this recipe (I love all your recipes to be honest) – thank you so much for sharing it, can’t wait to try it!!! I’m soy intolerant and chickpeas don’t agree with me at all, so I had almost given up on finding a vegan frittata without tofu or chickpeas – you just made my day 🙂 You’re an inspiration, I enjoyed each and every dish I made based on your recipes 🙂

      Oh my god. Made this for dinner tonight and it is AMAZING!!!! I had to omit the nutritional yeast and Kala Namk as I couldn’t get them but it doesn’t change the fact it tastes great! I used to love Frittata before I became Vegan and this is a great alternative!!!

      Wow, I can’t wait to try this! I’m thinking bday brunch this weekend! How necessary is the almond flour, or any flour for that matter.

        almond flour expands a bit during baking. it adds a bit of volume to the lentil mixture, like a lighter volume in the overall dense lentil batter. you can make your own almond flour, blend some almonds until they are a coarse meal and use.

          Richa, I’m looking for a good mung bean quiche recipe. Your mung bean omelette recipe said to come here to this recipe to make a quiche. We can’t eat nuts in our family. Any suggestions?

      Just ate it for dinner It was AWESOME!! So different. The veggies were phenomenally spiced and the topping was creamy. So filling, too. I soaked my lentils in boiling hot water for about 45 mins and it pureed perfectly. It was such a terrific out-of-the-box recipe.. Thanks for being so great at recipe development!!!

      The star-rating system isn’t working for me, but that’s okay – because I give it 5+

        Awesome! So glad you loved it! Yes the lentils should make a creamy custardy base which is flavored a bit like an egg. it works amazingly even without the kala namak for the egg flavor as I love lentils any which way!

      Oh no, Richa. Now I just might have to change tonight’s menu. 🙂 This looks so different and I love all the ingredients. What a dilemma you’ve given me – but in a good way. Thanks for the recipe (Again!!)

        😀 I hope so. I think someone who isnt already vegan or vegetarian might find the ingredients a bit odd, lentils for the egg 🙂 .
