Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Drain the chickpeas

    Open the can of chickpeas and pour them into a colander under cold water to rinse them.

  2. Sauté the garlic

    Finely slice the garlic clove. In the hot skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds over medium heat without letting it brown.

  3. Add the mushrooms

    Wash the mushrooms and slice them. Add them to the skillet with the garlic and sauté them 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring now and then.

  4. Make the chickpea mash

    In the saucepan, add the drained chickpeas with a little water (about 5 cl) and mash them with a fork until smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Tip · For a creamier mash, add a little hot water at the end and give it a quick blend.
    Tip · Don't overload the omelet with mushrooms: they release water and make it soggy.

  5. Heat the mash

    Set the saucepan over low heat and warm the mash for 5 minutes, stirring so it doesn't stick. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

  6. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the 6 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add half the chopped parsley.

  7. Cook the omelet

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the mushrooms. Let them cook 2 minutes over medium heat without touching, then fold the omelet in half with the wooden spoon.

  8. Serve

    Divide the chickpea mash between two plates, set the omelet on top and sprinkle with the rest of the parsley.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
