Vegi Food Pairing : Basmati with herbs/onions with what?

Question

I found a great resipe for summer herb seasoned basmati - using dill, tarragon, parsley and sweet onions. I am trying to think of something to make with it to round out the meal. We are vegan so I was trying to think of a tofu or possible salad to combine? I can't think of how the flavors should go. I was thinking stir fried or baked tofu but with what seasoning/dressing/sauce?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

How about spaghetti squash with a tomato sauce?

Answer 2

Why not take those same herbs - add to olive oil and lemon juice, and use to marinate chunks of veggies* and tofu to make kebobs for grilling.

Then serve over the rice.

*Mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, etc. etc.

Or use that rice to stuff hollowed out squash or eggplant, the braise in a nice tomato sauce.

Answer 3

a cucumber and tomato salad with a nice oil and vinegar dressing.you could throw some of those same herbs on there to make the flavors blend. just don't over do it. maybe the dill and parsley, with a dash of sea salt.  and use a red wine or balsamic  vinegar. anything else would be gross.
