Help! Vegetarian Recipes!?!

Question

I'm a vegetarian, and looking for new, unique recipes (that are actually edible). I don't eat any fish, poultry and I try to stay away from milk or cheese by using substitutes.

I'd really appreciate anything.

If meat eaters love it, too, it's a plus! (I'm the only vegetarian in my house).

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

olive oil

2 tbsp quality chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 10oz or larger pkg vegetarian beef or sausage style crumbles OR 1 lb extra firm tofu, frozen, thawed and crumbled OR 2 cups TVP crumbles, rehydrated

2 large cloves fresh garlic, chopped fine

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 large can of black beans, undrained

1 large can of red kidney beans, undrained

1 large can of peeled Italian tomatoes, undrained

3 cups water

1 tbls Dutch-processed or other good cocoa powder

3 tsp vegetarian beef-style broth powder

1 tsp nutritional yeast

2 tsp corn starch disolved in 1/4 cup water(optional)

dried spicy pepper flakes to taste

salt to taste

finely chopped onion, grated cheese, and extra hot sauce for garnish

cooked brown rice, whole grain noodles or couscous

[edit] StepsTake a large, heavy bottomed pot, add 2 tbls olive oil, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and cayanne pepper.

Saute over medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring to toast the spices.

Add the soya crumble, tofu or TVP, and stir well to coat.

Add the garlic and chopped onion, stir, and saute, adding up to two more tablespoons of olive oil if needed.

Cook, stirring occassionally for about three minutes, making sure the mixture does not scorch.

Add the beans,tomatoes and water. Stir well.

Add the cocoa powder, broth mix, and yeast.

Stir all in well, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occassionally (be sure to stir the bottom of the pot!).

Add salt, freshly ground pepper and red pepper flakes to adjust spices to your taste.

If you'd like a thicker chili, stir in the corn starch mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until broth is thick.

Serve hot over rice, couscous or noodles, garnished with cheese and onions (omit the cheese for vegans) Pass hot sauce at the table for those who like theirs super hot!

Above is a recipe for vegetarian chili.

Just go to www.wikihow.com and type in vegetarian.

I hope I could help you,

Answer 2

Try http://www.fatfreevegan.com/

And http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/

They have excellent recipes and many of them are fairly simple to make.

You should invest in the book Vegan With A Vengeance. It has excellent recipes that are so good you don't even notice the absence of animal products. Just try googling around.

Everything I've tried from that website is amazing. Even my non-veg family likes all of it. All the recipes are vegan btw

Answer 4

I made this for myself and my meat eating boyfriend the other night. I was amazed at how flavorful and delicious this was! I've found quite a few fun recipes on this website and so far all have pleased the vegetarian AND the meat eater. I'm not a vegan, at least not yet, so I did use real cheese rather than the vegan cheese. I really haven't developed a taste for the substitute cheese yet. The "tofutti" sour cream substitute is surprisingly delicious though! Make sure you roast the veggies first, it's worth it! The Morningstar Chick'n strips are tasty!! Oh, unless you like really spicy food, go easy on the chipotle peppers. =)
