What vegetables should i have in my house that i can use for vegetarian recipes

Question

I'm a vegetarian and i want to know what vegetables i should always have in my house that i can use for most vegetarian recipes

Answer 1

You should include lot's of dark green vegetables...broccoli, spinach, kale, collard etc.  The darker the colour of a vegetable the better.  Include things like beets, red peppers, leeks (good for soups- just wash well first),  cauliflower, squash, cabbages, bok choy, eggplant, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, green beans, asparagus, peas, zucchini, swiss chard, artichokes.  There are so many out there!  You can bake them, grill, make soups, stir fry, stuff them, salads...there really are many, many options for you.  (Tomatoes too, even though they are a fruit!)   Don't forget things like chickpeas, kidney beans navy beans and lentils!  Hope this helps!
