My fellow Vegetarians...How do you get your Protein? Delicious ways...yummy!?

Question

include tips and how to's.

Answer 1

Well,i adore nuts,cant get enough of them lol.

I added a great website page for you,full of ideas and high protein recipes etc. :)

Answer 2

My favorite protein is beans & rice.

I fix them all different ways with different spices and my husband and I never get sick of eating them.

With different spices you can totally change the taste.

For Indian, I make lentils, tomatoes, garam masala.

For Tex-Mex, I use black beans, corn, tomatoes, onions, chiles, chili powder.

For Cajun/Creole I use kidney beans, ro-tel, okra, cajun seasoning.

For Italian I use kidney beans, frozen Italian veggies, pasta sauce, and Italian seasoning.

For American (think bar-b-q) I use barbecue sauce, brown sugar, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and green peppers.

Basically I just take some sort of bean, add some sort of tomato, some other veggie(s), and some seasoning.  I usually use canned beans because I usually want to eat them sooner rather than later, but if I think ahead I'm able to save a ton of money by using dried beans instead!  I'm all about experimenting.  It never comes out the same twice, but I've never had it turn out bad!

Answer 4

Roasted Chickpeas:

Drain 1 can of Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans).  In a glass oven-proof dish toss them with olive oil and salt.  Put in a 400 degree oven until they are browned and toasty...this is around 30 minutes I'm guessing.  I take them out once and give them a stir.

I'm telling you.....yummy yummy!

Answer 5

My favorite source of protein is mushrooms, tomatoes and broccoli.

Answer 6

Protein is in everything pretty much.  We really don't have to look for it.  If you getting enough calories, you are getting enough protein.
