  1. Buy Thai red or green curry paste (you can find it in most grocery chains), a can of (light) coconut milk, vegetables of your choice, tofu and rice.  Make the rice plain and set aside.  Cube the tofu and combine with curry paste, coconut milk and veggies and bring to boil, stirring often.  I make this like once a week.


  2. This is seven layer Tortilla Pie, my Grandmother cooks it all the time, so good.

    Ingredients

        

        *   2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

        * 1 cup salsa, divided

        * 2 cloves garlic, minced

        * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

        * 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

        * 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

        * 7 (8 inch) flour tortillas

        * 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

        * 1 cup salsa

        * 1/2 cup sour cream

    Directions :)

      

       1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

      

       2. In a large bowl, mash pinto beans. Stir in 3/4 cup salsa and garlic.

      

       3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup salsa, cilantro, black beans and tomatoes.

      

       4. Place 1 tortilla in a pie plate or tart dish. Spread 3/4 cup pinto bean mixture over tortilla to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with 1/4 cup cheese, and cover with another tortilla. Spread with 2/3 cup black bean mixture, and top with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layering twice. Cover with remaining tortilla, and spread with remaining pinto bean mixture and cheese.

      

       5. Cover with foil, and bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve with salsa and sour cream. Very tasty <3

    But I'm really not sure how to decide whats a "vegetarian recipe", lol, I haven't eaten meat since the day I was born. Well, except when I went to this restaurant, they swore there was no meat, but there was inside it. Ugh. But, I hope you like it!

    Easy Macaroni and Cheeze

    1 pound pasta (regular or gluten-free)

    Blend together:

    1 1/4 cups water

    1 cup plain, fat-free soymilk (may use other non-dairy milk)

    3/4 cup nutritional yeast

    3 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch

    1 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1 teaspoon onion powder

    1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

    1/2 teaspoon turmeric

    pinch cayenne pepper

    2 tablespoons tahini

    1 teaspoon mellow white miso (or additional salt)

    black pepper to taste

    Put the pasta on to boil, according to package directions. While it's cooking, blend all remaining ingredients together in a blender. When the pasta is al dente, drain it, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to pan. Add the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Add a little of the pasta water if more moistness is needed.

    If the sauce is not as flavorful as you'd like, add a little more mustard and onion powder.

    Dip eggplant slices into the fat free Italian dressing. Allow the excess dressing to drip off (too much dressing will wet the vegan breadcrumbs and make them a pain to work with).

    Fantastic Fat-free Bagels

    Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 packages of yeast

    4 1/4 cups of unbleached flour

    1 1/2 cups warm water (115 to 120 degrees F)

    3 tablespoon of sugar

    1 tablespoon of salt

    1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon (optional)

    1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

    1/2 cup of raisins (optional)

    brown sugar, non-dairy milk, molasses (for a glaze)

    Directions:

    Combine the yeast and 1 cup of the flour. In a seperate bowl, combine water, 3 T of vegan sugar and salt. Add to flour mixture. Stir in raisins, 1 T of sugar, and cinnamon, if using. Beat with electric mixer or stir vigourously until no lumps remain and the mixture is sort of splashy. Add the raisins and remaining flour. Mix until dough is tough. Turn out on floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rise for ten to fifteen minutes.

    Oil or spray a large cookie sheet. Divide the dough into 12 to 24 portions, rolling each into a ball and pulling a hole through in the middle with your fingers. Place the bagels on the cookie sheet, cover and let rise in a warm place for at least 20 minutes and no more than 2 hours (or you'll have dough coming out of your ears).

    Meanwhile, put one gallon of water and one tablespoon of vegan sugar in a large pot to boil; reduce to simmering. Cook bagels, 4 or 5 at a time for 4 to 7 minutes (depending on the toughness of the skin you prefer - the longer they boil, the tougher

  4. hi !!!!i am a vege myself and u should try these;

    quorn pasta bake

    pizza square

    cheese pastie

    cheese wheel

    salad wrap(without the meat,just salad)

    tomato soup with bread cubes

    vege hotdog

  5. homemade coleslaw of sorts... is one of my fave dishes

    its basically just the veg grated down, salad veg anyways like lettuce, cucumber carrot etc  i normally add grated cheese too but its still nice without it.  you dont neet mayo or salad cream because the liquids from the veg keep it together and moist.

    its nice as a sandwich filler or a side dish.  

    my personal fave with it is mashed potato  and with lettuce leaves make a kind of tocco thing.

    actually that doesnt sound as good as it is.  im a bit of a dull eater anyways lol

  6. Chilli -

    Ingredients - Serves 4

    1 Tin (410g) Red Kidney Beans

    2 Fresh Chillies (this will make it medium hot, depending on the chilli)

    3 Cloves of Garlic

    2 small Onions

    2 teaspoons Cumin Seed

    1½ teaspoons Basil

    1 teaspoon Oregano

    1 large Green Pepper

    1 large Red Pepper

    4oz Mushrooms

    1 large Carrot

    1 Tin (410g) Plum Tomatoes

    1½ tablespoons Tomato Purée

    2 tablespoons Sunflower Oil

    200ml Water

    Method

    First chop up the onions and set to one side, then heat up 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil in a heavy bottomed pan until it is smoking and throw in the cumin seed. Cover immediately and turn down the heat. After a couple of seconds the initial explosion of popping seeds will have died down, add the chopped onion and the herbs and stir to mix thoroughly. Wash and dice the carrot, peel if not organic, and add to the pan with the water. Bring to a simmer, cover and allow to cook until the carrot and onion begin to soften. Next liquidise the garlic and the chillies in the other teaspoon of oil and then add to the pan. Meanwhile chop the peppers and, if they need it, the mushrooms, add them to the pan when the carrots begin to soften. Finally liquidise the tomatoes and add to the pan with the purée, stir it all up well, and allow to cook, covered, until all the vegetables have softened and the flavours melded. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Best Vegan Mac and Cheese

    Ingredients (use vegan versions):

        1 1/2 cups of plain soy milk

        1 cup of water

        1/3 cup of tamari or soy sauce

        1 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast

        1 tablespoon paprika

        1 tablespoon garlic powder

        1 tablespoon vegesal or in lack of fancy product, just use salt

        1/4 of a block of firm (not silken) tofu

        1 cup of canola or vegetable oil

        1 1/2 lbs of pasta of your choice preferably macaroni

        a relatively large baking pan (like a brownie pan)

        1 dollop of mustard (optional)

    Directions:

    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Boil water in a big pot for the pasta.

    All of the ingredients sans pasta can easily go in a blender liquid and powdered this is by far the easiest way and the only was I do it.

    Once pasta is cooked drain I and put it in the baking pan pour the  cheese sauce over the pasta.

    Bake until the top of the pasta looks slightly browned and crispy  about 15 minutes    but not too crispy because that is gross.

    I honestly do not know the serving information or nutritional content I can tell you it feeds a heck of a lot of people and if you are cooking for yourself it will last about 5 days if you eat it for all three meals of the day.

    Serves: a lot, Preparation time: about 8 min.
