Plantain Omelette Vegan

This was an interesting idea and i'm definitely going to come up with other fillings for this omelette as well. the plantains are a bit sweet and the garlic cashew cheese compliments them very nicely. i think sauteed onions, garlic, bell peppers, avocado, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and diced fried potatoes in any combination would work as well. you can substitute green bananas if you can't get plantains. feel free to use vegan cheese instead of the nut cheese. you can also boil the plantains ahead of time and let cool in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the dish. this is not an egg substitute" - this is a whole new spin off here and it actually really works - nice breakfast meal and very satisfying without all the artery clogging. adapted from vegan fusion world cuisine by mark reinfeld and bo rinaldi"
