Frittata Puttanesca

One-Dish Vegan

Gluten-free | Serves 4

The bold flavors of pasta puttanesca translate beautifully into this vegan frittata. It’s great for brunch or dinner, either served on its own or accompanied by toasted Italian bread and a crisp green salad.

fritattaIngredients:

  • 1 pound firm tofu, well drained and blotted dry
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped reconstituted or oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or 3 tablespoons water
  • 5 scallions, minced
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved
  • 1 tablespoon capers, chopped if large
  • 1/2 cup shredded vegan mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 medium-size tomato, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or Italian parsley

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a shallow 1 1/2‑quart baking dish.
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the tofu, broth, wine, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomatoes and process until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil or water in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, mushrooms, thyme, dried basil, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining sun-dried tomatoes, both kinds of olives, and the capers.
  4. Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the reserved tofu mixture, stirring to combine all of the ingredients, then spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle on the vegan cheese (if using) and tomato. Bake until firm, golden brown, and slightly puffed up, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the fresh basil, cut into wedges, and serve hot.

    My favorite one dish meal is vegan cashew cream based alfredo served over gluten free brown rice pasta shells with sauteed spinach mixed in!
