A good recipe?

Question

We are having a pot luck at my school and I'm a vegetarian and i want to take a good vegetarian dish, I dont want people to just look at it. I want the to try it without thinking. and for it to have a lasting effect, something like "ohh that was good, I could try beinga vegetarian if all the food tastes like this" any suggestion. not something too complcated.

Thank Most of these sound good. But I have a question for Loli m, what kind of meat crumbles?

Answer 2

Vegetarian Paella

A Spanish dish traditionally made with meat and shellfish. This flexible veggie version is simpler, but no less delicious.

Yield 6 servings
Time 30 minutes
Tools large saucepan with lid
wooden spoon
small bowl

Ingredients 2 T olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, sliced or diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 t paprika
½ t pepper
¼ t crushed saffron
2 c white rice, uncooked and rinsed
3 c boiling water
2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 c peas
1 c corn

Directions Sauté 1 garlic clove in 1 T oil for about 1 minute. Add bell pepper and cook for two minutes. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
Heat 1 T olive oil over medium heat. Sauté remaining garlic, onion, and carrot for 2 minutes. Add spices and stir well.

Mix in the rice, then pour in water.

Stir well, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until water is absorbed and rice is cooked.

Remove from heat, place the cooked bell pepper, tomatoes, peas, and corn on top of the rice. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

Serve hot.

Notes This is a very flexible recipe. You can leave out pretty much anything except the rice and saffron (ok, you could even leave out the saffron, but the flavor would be sorely lacking), and you can add just about anything - tofu, tempeh, or artichoke hearts, just to give you a few ideas.

POT LUCK BAKED BEANS

2 (1 lb. 13 oz.) cans pork and beans
1 lb. bacon, cut in pieces
2 med. onions, chopped
2 lg. green bell peppers, cut in chunks
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 c. ketchup
1 c. brown sugar

Combine all ingredients and put into a large casserole dish or can use 2 smaller ones. Bake, covered, in slow oven (325 degrees) for 3 hours. Stir occasionally. Uncover for the last 30 minutes of cooking time. You can use less bacon but the full pound really makes these beans special. Makes about 20 servings. A really good and easily made dish for pot luck for a large crowd.

Answer 5

Shepard's pie is always good.
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
2 carrots chopped
1 C frozen corn
1 C frozen peas
1/2 package veggie meat crumbles
3 or 4 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 C grated cheese (optional)

Saute the onion, celery, and carrots in oil with a little salt. When they onions are translucent add the herbs, corn and peas. Warm peas and corn through and add the tomato paste (if it too thick add a tad bit of water to loosen it). Add the meat crumbles and mix well.
After the mixture is warm transfer to casserole dish and cover with mashed potatoes and cheese. Bake at 350 until the cheese is bubbly.
Even the most hard core carnivores in my world can't pass this one up!!
