I am vegetarian and cook a lot. I was just wondering if anyone has some vegetarian meal that just rocks?

Question

i cook a lot of pasta and black bean and rice burgers and mushrooms. i don't really care for eggplant or tomato. just always looking for some new recipes.

Answer 1

As a little kid my favorite food used to be what I call Mexican Pizza. Put two tortillas on a cookie sheet. Then on top of that layer with refried beans. Add another tortilla on top. Then smother that tortilla with salsa (I'm assuming you like salsa though you said you don't care for tomatoes) of any kind, though I prefer lime and garlic or anything spicy. On top of that add some shredded cheese and bake for about 15 minutes or untill the tortillas are chrunchy and look flaky. Its SOOOO good, I hope you try it!

Oh and also for lasagna if you eat "fake meat", add some stuff call TVP. Its looks, tastes, and has the same nutrition as meat. You could also put it in chili.

Answer 2

have you ever tried the veggie sandwhiches at Subway or their veggie patty sandwhiches??

Answer 3

nachos with salsa tomatoes chives and peppers, that is soooooo good!

Answer 4

meats good

Answer 5

i like carrots with brocolii. they just taste great but for extras greatness :

Pasta Primavera

3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips

2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips

2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips

1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

1/4 cup olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence

1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)

15 cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

Answer 7

(lemur: umm, okay lawnmover man, lol)

my husband is the biggest meat eater ever, but CONSTANTLY requests this meatless dish. it seems like alot of vegetables (about 2 cookie sheets) and sometimes i even add a little more than called for, but they really shrink down. make sure to use a good quality parmesan, as it is a key flavor component. this is good hot, room temp, even cold.

Answer 16

If you like pasta, try lasagna rolls. They are REALLY good! Just cook the pasta until it's al dente. In a large bowl, mix spahgetti sauce and additional fillers of your choice - sauteed mushrooms, green peppers, onions, garlic, veggie ground beef, pesto, cheese, etc. Rinse the noodles in cold water and let them sit in the water to keep them from sticking or continuing to cook. Take one noodle at a time and lay it on your cutting board. Spread a generous amount of your mixture on the noodle. Start at one end and roll the noodle into a spiral. Place in a baking dish. Once the baking dish is full, pour any excess sauce over the top. Bake at 350 (F) for about a half hour. Remove and top with your fave type of cheese. Stick it back in the oven until the cheese starts to brown or bubble.

It's simple and tasty....plus you usually have leftovers for the next day!

Cheers!

Answer 17

Alot depends on whether you use fake meat or not.

Are you looking for purely veggie meals or the equivalent of a standard, but veggie version?

Answer 18

I would HIGHLY recommend you getting a great Indian cookbook. They have TONS of vegetarian meals that taste amazing.

I would highly discourage you from eating "a lot" of pasta. I know many vegetarians who substitute nutrients and protein for starches such as potatoes and pastas. As a nutritionist I see this very frequently.

There are MANY MANY overweight vegetarians out there because they don't actually eat vegetables. One of my friends who's a vegetarian goes to McDonalds practically 4 times a week and she gets 2 large fries and an apple pie... Vegetarian yes....Nutritious no. For about the same price she could get a vegan falafel and rice which would give her TONS of protein so not only would she feel satiated.

Answer 21

Answer 22

Vegetarian chili.  It has no meat, just rice, beans, and some other ingredients.  But if you google it, i'm sure that you could find out the recipe! It tastes delicious too!

Answer 23

you haven't tried the umpteen possibilities thrown up by Indian vegetarian cooking. try it at a restaurant to see if you enjoy the different flavors. stock up on some of the indian spices & masalas & herbs to pep up your dishes. also try different dals (pulses) besides kidney or black beans. i strongly suggest a visit to any indian grocery store to get a feel of the variety & sample some  frozen or precooked packaged dishes. eventually try them out yourself at home.

happy browsing & cooking.
