I found this recipe below for Vegan Potato Omelette online and I tweaked it to add yellow onion and baby spinach to add flavor and nutrition. Its a very versatile dish and you can add sliced olives, capsicum or or even boiled kidney beans for added protein. And its gluten free too since we are using chickpea flour.

Ingredients (To serve 6-8 wedges)
2 tbsp vegan butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, sliced thinly
2 cups baby spinach
2 tsps garlic herb salt
1 tsp chilli flakes
2-3 large potatoes, steamed, skin removed and cut into small cubes
2 cups chickpea flour
Salt
1 cup (+/-) water

3) Next, add in the washed baby spinach.

4) This will be followed by the garlic herb salt and chilli flakes. Check for salt. Then add in the chickpea potato mix. Press it down flat with a metal spoon. Add some vegan butter on the sides and on top so that it will cook golden brown when we flip it over.

5) Loosen the sides with a spatula or a flipper. Put a flat large plate over the pan and do a quick turn. Slide the omelette back into the pan and cook the other side.

Chickpea Fesenjan

Chickpea Fesenjan is an Iranian stew from Gilan province, Iran. It is part of the of the dinner table on Shaba Yalda when families get together to celebrate the longest night of the year and the beginning of winter. It has a distinctive grainy sour taste as it is flavoured with ground walnuts and pomegranate paste. It is traditionally made with poultry ie either duck or chicken. Here I have made a vegan version using chickpeas to replace the meat. I couldn't find pomegranate paste so I had to settle for pomegranate juice instead.

​Ingredients (serves  4)
  1. 1 cup roasted/baked walnuts
  2. 1/2 cup pomegranate juice 
  3. 2 tbsp olive oil
  4. 1 yellow onion, diced
  5. 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper (more if needed)
  6. 1 of 425gm chickpeas can,  drained and rinsed
  7. 1 cup vegetable broth
  8. 1 tsbp brown sugar
  9. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  10. 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  11. 2 tbsps pomegranate and 1 tbsp chopped parsley for serving

Method
1) First process the baked/roasted walnuts to a fine meal. Set aside.
Picture
2) Take a medium sized pot and heat the olive oil. Fry the yellow onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for around 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.

3) Now add the chickpeas, veg broth, walnut meal, pomegranate juice, brown sugar, turmeric powder and cinnamon powder. Stir to combine and bring to a boil,
