Vegetarian Meals?

Question

Does anyone know any good vegetarian recipes. No tofu please. If possible some quick & easy meals. I work 4 jobs so I don't have time for long complicated recipes.

Answer 1

I posted this earlier for someone else......

Chili Mac (no meat)

1 can tomato sauce 8oz
2/3 cup macaroni (I use wheat)
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup canned kidney beans (rinsed)
1 cup canned black beans (rinsed)
any where from 1/2 cup to 1 cup of salsa.
sprinkle of garlic powder

Combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 15 or so minutes. Be sure to stir frequently.

Makes about 4 servings.

I like to make this b/c it is so easy and quick. It also seems to have a better taste the next day. If you're watching sodium, just use low sodium ingredients or substitute tomatoes for the salsa. Hope this helps!! Oh and if your not vegan, top it with cheese.

Answer 3

i imagine Indian delicacies is mostly the most vegetarian-pleasant and they offer such truly some protein options. issues alongside with kidney beans (vegetarian chilli) or lentils and rice make truly tasty nutrition with the protein decision. also Indian cheese, paneer (usually modern-day in Indian grocery shops yet really ordinary to make if recipe is googled) is an particularly reliable protein source. Stir-fries with tofu with noodles or rice make very reliable nutrition and spaghetti with marinara sauce and various greens could properly be tasty...and there is continuously vegetarian piizza. i also needs to point out that each and each bbq i flow to must have veggie dogs and bugers...i recognize them a lot! there is usually a false impression that vegetarian food isn't tasty yet in my existence I particularly have had many tasty nutrition. I''m no longer a huge fan of pretend meat yet I recomend it for meat-eaters desirous to attempt the vegetarian route to wean them off or to interchange the beef they prefer to shrink out.

Healthy Cooking Tips:

Cutting bell peppers thin and the sweet potatoes small will allow their flavors to blend together better as they cook than if they are cut into large pieces. Try to cut them as directed for best results. Store your leftover spices in the freezer to keep fresh for the next time you want to make this wonderful dish.
