Tofu Silken Omelet










 
(2 serving)    
6 ounces (1/2 package) frozen Silken tofu (thawed)
1/3 cup soy milk
1 Tbsp brown rice flour
1 Tbsp tapioca flour
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
salt to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 slice tofutti cheese

Remove tofu from package - drain liquid. I used my tofu presser. Cut tofu into piece and place in a small blender and blend until a smooth consistency.
batter should slowly flow. If not, add additional soy milk by the Tablespoon until the batter is pour able.
Place an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add about 1 Tbsp of olive oil and swirl pan to coat.
Pour the batter into the pan. Spread the batter gently to completely coat the bottom.
prepare any omelet fillings for your perfect omelette.
Cover and cook omelet 6 to 8 minutes until the top appears dry. If the omelet doesn't move freely when shaking the pan, gently work a spatula underneath so it loosens from the pan.
Add toppings to one side of the omelet.
Flip half of the omelet over to the side where your fillings will be added, you might need to add a little more olive oil at this point, cook for a couple of minutes more on low heat. Your omelet should be looking like a real omelet now. Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
Notes - batter should be a thick consistency, not runny but more like pancake batter. You will have to spread the batter with a spoon to get your desired  size omelette.
Fried your vegetable fillings first before adding to omelet.
I got 2 omelets with my recipe. You might need to add a little more soy milk by the Tbsp because the batter will thicken as it sits, especially if you're making one omelet at a time in a 8" pan like I used.
Enjoy!

Easy Crispy Sweet Pickles

















Want relish? Just place pickles in a food processor


Ingredients
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
pinch of sea salt
2 medium thinly sliced cucumbers
1 small sweet sliced onion


Instructions
In a sauce pan add 1st 7 ingredients
let the mixture come to a boil for 2 minutes
Slice cucumbers and sweet onion very thin and add them to a thick glass bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and cover them with saran wrap, make sure there's enough liquid to cover all the cucumbers (bathe). I had to double the vinegar mixture. After they have cool, place them in the refrigerator for 3 days or more to let the juice combine with the cucumbers, then you can place your pickles in your favorite recycled jars.


Taste if you wish but warning you might eat them all in one setting. lol
