what are some good vegitarian recipes that can give me protein that i would normally get from meat?

Answer 1

I am sure that you already know that most "good" recipies for protiens combine both starch (rice, corn, potatoes, pasta) with legumes (peas, nuts, beans, etc.) These provide complimentary amino acids that make up full protien molecules.

One of my favorite high protien quick snacks is peanut butter on raisin toast.

For a quick hot meal, I combine several starches and legumes. I like Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice, with an extra cup of rice, a can of whole kernel corn and a can of diced tomatoes done in a rice cooker. Leave a little extra time if you use brown rice.

For something more time/labor intensive try this:
Heat a large (one gallon) pot with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add, in order and cook each ingredieint until about 1/2 way done,
Three medium red potatoes, quartered.
One medium onion, chopped rough,
One large eggplant, cut in 1 inch cubes
One zucchini, cut in 1 inch slices
One green pepper, chopped rough
Five or six fresh tomatoes, quartered,
cover and allow to steam for 5-10 minutes.
Just before serving, add:
One whole bulb of garlic, crushed, diced skin removed
One whole bunch of herbs, chopped rough (cilantro, dill, basil)
Serve with crusty bread, cheese if you will.

Unless you're eating a diet of junk food or you're not eating enough food, you will almost certainly get enough--more than enough--protein in your diet.

You also do NOT need to combine proteins, as your body stores the amino acids and combines them as needed. So you can have a chili with beans for lunch and a rice pilaf with your dinner, and you will be just FINE.

Oh, honestly, aren't we all getting a little tired of this question? Try doing a search for all the protein questions that we've already answered and you'll learn that you don't need as much as you think you do and that there's protein in practically everything.

Recipes? Start with some ingredients, combine them as you see fit, cook, eat. You'll get plenty of protein.

i have asked the same question lol all of the answers i got gave me links to other sites, all i know is sprouts have more usable protein than meat so get some sprouts lol sorri i dont really have any recipes...good luck tho :)

Answer 5

if you're not vegan, my mom makes this really good zucchini lasagna that is really good. You just layer zucchini, red pasta sauce, and grated parmesan and mozzarella cheese over and over again and bake it at 350 F for 30 minutes. It's really really good!

When we were kids - we were so poor we would jack off the dog to feed the cat. Protein - and no harm to the animals.
