Veggie options?

Question

I just asked this a few minutes ago but I don't see it so I will ask again. Do any vegetarians out there have any delicious non-meat recipes? I want to try something other than pasta and salad. I have already tried tofu and veggie burgers so do you have any other ideas? (quick recipes if possible!)

P.S. Seafood is yucky :)

Answer 1

Jamie is Stupid: Vegetarians abstain from eating flesh. Fish is flesh, so vegetarians do not eat it. If they do, they are no longer vegetarian.

There is a lot of confusion about this. Some people say "I'm vegetarian, but I still eat fish." This person is not a vegetarian. If a person eats the flesh of only fish and no other animal, then they are called pescatarian. If they eat the flesh of fish and chicken, then they are plain ol' meat eaters who abstain from red meat. I don't see why, but some still believe that vegetarians eat chicken.

Vegetarians abstain from eating all flesh, in all amounts, and from all animals.

To answer EffYew's question (EffYew, what a name, lol!):
You can try minestrone soup made with vegetable stock/broth, pasta e fagioli made with vegetable stock/broth, bean burritos, rice & beans with chile and tortillas and salad, red beans & rice with greens, Asian foods with no meat/eggs in them (I don't both saying "dairy" 'cause Asian foods rarely have dairy), pasta & chreese (see website below), "cream" of carrot soup (use soy milk instead of dairy), "cream" of any other vegetable soup, baked potato with vegan margarine or veggie cheez or salsa or veggie chili on top, crostini with tapenade and salad, peanut butter & jelly sandwich, tomato soup with a grilled veggie cheez sandwich...

There are so many options, for real.

Ooo ooo I just remembered something... get some corn tortillas, heat them up on the stove (or microwave, whatever), put some avocado slices in them, sprinke a little salt, mash it up a bit, roll, and ENJOY. Mmmm!!!

Oh yeah... make some toast, get some vegan mayonnaise, slice up some tomatoes, and make a tomato sandwich. I swear it's so good! Sprinkle with salt & pepper and enjoy. If you want, add a slice of vegan cheez. If you don't have the vegan cheez it's fine, tomato sandwiches are the bomb!

Ah yes, there's always cereal with soy milk. Sometimes, cereal for dinner is good.

Answer 2

Well, if you're just vegetarian and not vegan, I know a really good recipe that's nice for lunch....
Ingredients:
1 Flat bread
1tbsp Olive Oil
A few leaves of basil
Fried tomatoes
Mozzarella Cheese (you can get the fake kind if you're vegan)
Procedure:
Warm the flat bread in a toaster-oven for 2-3 minutes. Then, taker it out on a plate and drizzle the olive oil over it, then add basil, tomatoes, and the mozzarella cheese! Easy and delicious!

Answer 3

This contains dairy:

1. Slice (1/8 inch) 4-6 baking potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
2. Slice or chop one med purple onion (or onion of your choice)
3. Grate about 3 med carrots
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Milk ( I usually use vanilla soy milk)
6. A cheese of your choice ( I prefer a nice aged cheddar)

Layer bottom of casserole dish with potatoes, ,then onions, then carrots, then cheese. Repeat until casserole dish is almost full. Pour milk over contents of dish about 1/3 deep. Cover with foil. Bake at 350*f for about 2 hours, remove foil and bake about an hour more. Potatoes should be tender and most of the milk liquid should be cooked out of the dish.

This is very easy and very tasty. Its a version of a dish my mom used to make-I just leave out the pork chops!

PS: You should try my Shepard's Pie!
PSS: I am so sick of pasta and salad!

SORRY!!! I don't have my metric conversion or oven (mark) charts with me!

Answer 4

How about a nice veggie sandwich? I make mine with whole wheat bread, hummus on one slice and mashed avocado on the other, sprouts and onions in the middle, and thyme and black pepper to taste.

I like really strong flavors, though, so maybe my personal sandwich isn't a sandwich for everyone, but if you find your inner sandwich you will achieve enlightenment.

Answer 6

meatless burritos-made with refried bean paste, cheddar cheese, brown rice. serve it with sour cream dip.

rosted eggplant--cut a large eggplant in half lengthwise. sprinkle cut sides liberally with garlic powder and onion powder. put in a roaster lightly covered in olive oil. add some onions cut into large wedges and a few garlic cloves cut in half and a few whole stalks of celery. cook at 300 F for about 40 minutes. baste the upside (purple skin) of the eggplant halves with a basting brush and the olive oil several times during cooking. serve with butter or margarine and lightly salted and seasoned with celery salt and paparika.

mushroom caps- stuffed with breadcrumbs, butter or margarine, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley flakes. broil until the top turns golden and slightly crusty.

Answer 7

I really like using the following olive oil (or vegetable oil), salt, pepper, basil, and either soy sauce, soy paste, or vinegar (depending on if you want a bitter or sweet taste). Use this to sautee sliced mushrooms. You can also add vegetables to this like broccoli or mixed vegetables. I also like this mixture to sautee tofu.

Answer 8

well dont you eat a lot of beans? i love that. Bake bean chili
http://thelazyvegetarian.blogspot.com/
scroll down to the one about bean chili.
I also like sushi, get nori rolls, vinegar rice plus all sorts of things, mangoes, cucumbers, carrots and avocados to put in it. And the easiest veg meal in the world is rice or pasta with a can of goya beans.

Answer 9

Kraft Mac & Cheese, add: Red Kidney Beans and Salsa to taste.

Answer 10

Lol. all of it sounds great yet i will choose Menu one. for my section you are able to't beat a stunning wealthy tea biscuit crust, which extremely compliments the turkey, and the Maltesers in blankets sound divine. i'm salivating questioning approximately it. in case you have left overs i would be around later. Merry Christmas to you and chuffed eating.
