give me a good vegetarian recipe?

Question

.. or vegan that will chill well. must replace meat in some way.

Answer 1

This is a recipe found in "How it All Vegan!" for a mock chopped liver. I made a few changes here and there.

8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
couple of cloves of garlic, minced
three or four handfuls of walnuts
salt
pepper

Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic until all begin to soften. Dump into a blender and mix well, adding walnuts, salt and pepper as you go along. Scrape into a bowl, refrigerate overnight, and serve the next day with crackers or crispbread.

My die-hard omni family really liked it.

This is more of an appetizer than anything else.

If you make your own seitan, you can use that in almost any recipe calling for meat. I created a sort of vegan Fessenjen that I call Puckery Pomegranate Seitan:

2 tbsp oil
1 lb seitan, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2/3 C vegetable stock
1/4 C walnuts
dash of sugar

Fry seitan for about five minutes or until it starts to brown on both sides. Remove from pan and keep in warm place. Add onions, garlic, pepper, and salt and sauté until onion softens. Add pomegranate molasses, stock, walnuts and sugar and bring to simmer. Add seitan back to pan and coat with sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Serve.

You can buy vital wheat gluten or high gluten flour to make your own seitan.

Answer 2

by "chill well" do you mean that can be kept in the fridge or freezer, or that is good served cold?

Anyway, with winter coming, I love to make veggie chili. My 'meat & potatoes' BF even loves it so much he asks me to make it!

Seasonings
Cumin
Corriander
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Powder
New Mexico Chili Powder (this exact kind is important, but can upon your own preferance be substituted with any chili powder)

Ingredients:
4 cloves fresh garlic crushed
1 red onion (med-large) diced
1 habenero pepper, seeded, minced
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded, minced (if you have a food processor, I just throw the onion, garlic & peppers together in it and voila! For spicier flavor, leave the seeds in)
1 small zuchinni diced
1 each red & green bell pepper diced
handfull of sliced baby carrots
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can diced or crushed tomatoes w/ chilies
1 can each dark red kidney, pinto, & black beans (do NOT drain liquid)
1 bag crumbled Morningstar "groundbeef"
6 pack bottles DARK mexican beer (I like Bohemia) - though you only need 1 for the recipe.

first, Open a beer, enjoy!

Pour a tbsp or so of olive oil in a stock pot & saute onion, garlic & peppers together until tender.

Pour entire contents of all canned goods into pot, add veggies & "hamburger" & 1 entire bottle of beer.

Season with listed seasonings to taste, but appx. 2 tsp cumin, 3 tsp corriander, 2 tsp New Mexico chili powder. 2 or 3 tsp garlic powder and however much salt & pepper - watch the pepper though, as the chili peppers will add a kick! Adjust as flavors blend (thats why I don't know exactly - when it tastes good, I stop.)

simmer for an hour or two until slightly reduced and the flavors have blended well. Serve with fresh diced onion & grated cheese.

Answer 3

{crispy fried tofu }

Boca foods, taste just like meat and you will really get off of eating meat. Here's a recipe to die for:

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried basil (optional)
1 cup soy sauce
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, pressed
oil for frying
PREPARATION:
Slice the tofu into 1 1/2 inch thick strips.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, gralic and basil.

Place the soy sauce in a separate small bowl.

Dip the tofu in the soy sauce, and then in the flour mixture.

Answer 4

veggie chilli.

all you have to do is sautee onions, whatever hot pepper you like and garlic, then put oregano (not too much), chili powder, and ground cumin. pile in whatever other veggies you like...i pile mine up with everything from brocolli and squash to corn and beans, then canned dices tomatoes and their juice, top it off with veggie stock or water and stew it till you can't wait anymore.
dont' forget salt. season as you go, and taste.

you can also look up coconut curry, it's easy and you can omit whatever meat they call for and just add more veggies, and the chicken stock if they call for it, just use veggie.
