Answer 1

I learned this recipe at the very first restaurant I cooked at and it still gets rave reviews every time I serve it decades later

Pepperonatta
cut into 1" cubes:
2 peeled potatoes
1 zucchini
1 red bell pepper
2 big tomatoes (or half 6 romas)
1 medium eggplant
toss with:
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 hand full fresh basil, torn or 2 Tablespoons dried
Bake in a single layer at 350F for about 45 minutes, stirring about every 20 minutes to keep moist
It is done when the potatoes are tender to a fork

Answer 2

Fresh tomato sauce. I've only ever met one person who didn't like it, even if I burned it or put in too much sugar. It’s delicious and only takes half an hour to make. If you have garlic, onions, and olive oil lying around, all you have to buy are herbs and passata. There is nothing in it that would not be good for you in the amounts that they're in. Here's the recipe: Ingredients: 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 chopped sprigs fresh rosemary 1 chopped sage leaf or 1 pinch dried sage (optional) 1/2 a chopped red onion 4-6 cloves garlic (how much do you like garlic?) 5 or 6 halved cherry tomatoes (optional) 1 liter passata or 1 can tomatoes Sugar to taste (gets rid of bitterness-about 1-2 Tbsp should be used) Salt to taste Pepper to taste 1. Simmer the onion and herbs in the olive oil until onions are soft 2. Add the garlic and simmer until onions are semi-transparent 3. Add the cherry tomatoes and passata 4. Simmer to reduce for about 15 mins. 5. Add the sugar, salt, and pepper Serve over pasta and enjoy!

Answer 5

Look up a recipe for dumplings online, and follow that recipe to make the dough. Seperate and flatten the dough out like pancakes, then spoon cooked veggie bits and fold the dough into itself like a wonton. Bake on a cookie sheet until they're golden brown, but not crunchy. prepare a few cups of vegetable bouillion with less water than you would normally use and cook more vegetable bits with that to make a thick soup. Serve in a bowl with a wonton on top.

Answer 9

I enjoy beans, roasted veggies with a dash of olive oil and spices. Also in veggie stirfries I use portabello mushrooms which kinda act as a meat. I also make meatless tacos that have refried beans instead of beef. Try www.allrecipes.com they have some great vegan ideas. Also try veggie pizza!

Answer 10

I like to make some Morningstar(vegetarian) breakfast sausage patties. I then make my favorite pasta (i.e. bowties). I crumble the patties and mix them with the pasta, steamed broccoli, margarine, parmesan cheese and dried basil. If it dries out I add a little olive oil.
