Vegetarian Food help?

Question

So i've been a vegetarian for about 2 years. I am still looking for basic dinner recipes to cook? I'm always having the same thing and want something different, that doesn't use too many different foods.

Answer 1

Google 'easy vegetarian recipes'. I make Japanese pancakes but only know measurements in metric (not sure what country you are from).

mix together:

125g plain flour

tsp minced ginger

150ml water

1 egg or egg substitute

add:

150g diced cabbage

1 large grated carrot.

mix together in large bowl.

fry covered (you can do half this recipe at a time) for 12minutes on  low heat. turn over and fry 5-8minutes more.

serve with HP sauce and mayonnaise. yum

Answer 7

Why are people suggesting recipes that use chicken broth? Chicken broth is NOT vegetarian, people!

The Vegetarian Society's Recipe Index has lots of exciting vegetarian dishes & meal ideas:

http://www.vegsoc.org/cordonvert/recipes...

Or try the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation:

http://www.vegetarian.org.uk/

Why not try Spiced Spinach & Tofu?-->

http://www.vegsoc.org/cordonvert/recipes...

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 8

There are plenty of vegetarian cook books available.  I like Tofu Cookery and the Enchanted Broccoli Forest.  The magazine Vegetarian Times also has lots of ideas.

Stir fry- You need cut up tofu, soy sauce, olive oil, steamed veggies, and cooked rice

Get a frying pan and coat it with olive oil. The put the tofu in the pan and brown each side of it. Next, add the veggies. Add a little soy sauce and put in the rice. Mix everything up and then let it sit on the stove, occasionally stirring it to make sure it doesn't burn. After about a minute and a half of that put it in a bowl and enjoy!

Hummus- chick peas, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and any other spices/seasonings you like

Puree the chick peas. Then add a little lemon juice, paprika, pepper, and other spices. Then stir. Serve with a pita, with cucumbers, or on a veggie wrap.
