    Broccolini White Bean Frittata - Soy free Vegan Frittata no tofu | Vegan Richa

     

    After sweet gf pancakes, today, I am bringing a delicious savory Frittata. No Soy, no tofu, just beans, broccolini, spices and herbs. Serve it warm with a generous drizzle of Sriracha or a creamy cool ranch or both. Or Slice up and make Sammishes.

    It makes a great breakfast or even a meal. There is Broccolini, carrots and Sun dried tomato in it. Add more or less veggies to preference. The White beans are spiced up with Thyme and lemon and mashed. The beans add a feta-ish taste as well as work to hold the frittata and reduce the chickpea taste. The base is chickpea flour batter. Mix it all up, and bake and done. 


    Serve this Frittata warm with Sriracha/ketchup, with favorite gravy or dressings or in a sandwich. Use a cookie cutter to cut up round patties for a burger 🙂

      Hi Richa! This looks very yummy. U fortunately I am not allowed to eat anything that contains coconut…is it okay to substitute with another milk alternative and maybe some sunflower/olive oil? Thanks!!!

      Looks lovely. I’ve been experimenting with chickpea frittata and I find the result a bit dense. Does the coconut flour and corn flour lighten it? I’m guessing the baking powder helps a bit too. I used to make tofu frittata but have developed a soya allergy so I’m probably trying to reproduce the unreproducable!

        You can add some whipped aquafaba as well. Yes cornstarch helps lighten it.
        You can also use my mung bean omelet batter instead.

          Thanks for the advice! I seem to be physically incapable of following a recipe! I like to know exactly what every ingredient is giving to the recipe and whether it is necessary. This means I experiment A LOT! But there is a limit to how much frittata a family of 4 can eat, especially as the 2 mini family members won’t eat frittata! Your recipes offer a fantastic starting point! Today, based on this recipe here, I made a chickpea flour cake thing with tahini, lemon juice, cornflour, milled chia, water, salt and mashed haricot beans. Didn’t have time to cook up veggies too and didn’t have all the ingredients in. Ended up a bit like a cheese scone! But I can see how this recipe would work if I actually followed it!

      Thanks for posting this! I used sprouted beans for all of the bean ingredients because that’s what I had and used unsweetened soymilk for the liquid. The texture was interesting, and if I add ground chia or more flaxseed meal next time, probably will be more similar to egg omelette by proteins and emulsion and aeration.

        Great! Yes play around with it to make it the texture you like. I usually also mash some of the beans so that they are not too intrusive

          Definitely blending to increase the surface area for binding sites, but left out details because some of the web form inputs have limited number of characters.
          🙂

          For a pseudo-egg dish, I’m trying to include or improve healthy protein and lipid properties of eggs:
          albumin proteins (a phosphoglycoprotein) from beans;
          glycoproteins from psyllium husk, apples, corn, etc.;
          phospholipids from flaxseed, chia seed and phospholipids with lecithin
          from sources such as soy, sunflower seed, canola;
          and also considering enzymes and other characteristics I’m still reading about.

          On the same subject, if you ever want to tinker with low temperature cooking (< 120F),
          using sourdough starter which contains beneficial LAB bacteria and yeast to ferment flaxseed meal and provide aeration (dough thickness < 1/2 inch, fermentation time 3-6 hours at 90F, then baking at 110F):
          flaxseed meal, sunflower seed, psyllium husk, applesauce
          and a very high baker's ratio of more water than dry ingredients results in an
          omelette like texture too but has more probiotic properties… still tinkering with this…
          You might have recipes that include yogurt and have some of the same effect, but the beneficial LAB bacteria die at about 120F and the yeast at about 140F or so.

          Will look through your yogurt lassis one day soon – thanks again for the delicious recipes.

      This was delicious! I used broccoli, grated carrots, and green onions, and for the oil I used the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with chopped kalamata olives and spicy ketchup. I also enjoyed the marinated beans so much that I think I will find a way to turn it into a dip! Thanks for the great recipe!

      I was looking for somehing to make with chickpea flour that also had the protein and this was perfect! I made it exactly as you said, and it turned out awesome! I liked it even better once it had a chance to cool so that it pieced out nicely. Reheating leftovers tastes great too!

      Hello,
      I am making this in 2 batches, one to freeze for later on in the week. Should I bake it, freeze it and then reheat it, or just freeze the raw mixture and bake it only when I want to eat it?

      Thanks for the recipe, I have your book and love it!

      I feel so happy to have found this wonderful site.
      It sounds odd but until this I have never had omelette, frittata or anything with the dreaded eggs as the ingredient usually, I was so badly allergic as a child I still cannot bear the colour yellow! Even the smell nowadays makes me ill.
      I am daring to gingerly go through them and having an amazing and unheard of experience very regularly!
      So… Pensioner embarking on first of each is probably a big odd but these allergies do tend to bar foods for ever. It is so wondrous to have these terribly unusual breakfasts as I casually mention I am having an omelette for my brunch I am giving several a real shock as they know fine well I am completely banned in their ways.
      You know happiness is veganism and I have very quietly gone my way for years for it really does lead to the most amazing reactions in so many people.

        You can use any similar beans to replace them any beans that cook to be soft and can be easily mashed. like black eyed peas (lobhia) white kidney beans ( white rajma), you can also use well cooked chickpeas/chana or cooked but not mushy chana dal.
