Question

Does anybody know a really good vegetarian casserole receipe?

I want to make dinner for my boyfriend this weekend, and tried looking on-line for really good vegetarian receipes, but most I found contained meat, or some kind of meat sauce??? I don't get it, why do they call it vegetarian?

Anyways, anybody know any really good and tasty vegetarian casserole receipes????

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can replace meat wtih meat substitues, such as tofu, tempeh, or seitan. As for meat sauce, it depends on the type of sauce. Some recipe websites do not vet the recipes well, which is why some supposedly "vegetarian" recipes are not at all veg.

www.vegweb.com also has great recipes, and you will never ever see a meaty ingredient there, as they screen out nonveg recipes.

Answer 2

You could have a tofu casserole. Chop tofu (or wheat gluten or veg mince), into chunks. Brown tofu in a frying pan in a little oil (add spices: chili etc) or in casserole pot. Add any veges (firm veges, so they don't disintegrate too much) you have: carrots, potatoes, turnip, swede, sweetcorn, (no firm recipe, whatever you've got).Add tins of kidney beans, chickpeas, stock cubes and enough water to cover etc You could drop in a garlic clove or two and remove it before serving or add to the tofu above. Simmer slowly for an hour. Stir in some cream and serve with some brown rice, wholewheat noodles or wholemeal bread and butter on the side. Yum.

I love the "Enchanted Broccoli Forest" recipe from the cookbook by Mollie Katzen of the same name. It's pretty much a brown rice and broccoli caserole with a creamy sauce. You don't need the recipe for it necessarily, but I think you could find it or something similar online. I don't know it off hand, but my own version of it is to make brown rice, spread it in a caserole dish (9X13) and then stand broccoli florettes up in it like trees (hence, the forest reference) and then over that I pour a sauce that I usually make out of a couple of cups of organic cream of broccoli soup (it comes in a box at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's) mixed with some shredded cheddar and spices.

Or you could do something Italian, like an eggplant and zucchini lasagna with ricotta . . . you don't even need to use pasta for this unless you want to. The veggies do well on their own - it's more of a caserole - and can be layered easily. You could use sliced eggplant, onions, zucchini, yellow squash and your favorite tomato sauce. For more protein, crumble some tofu in with the ricotta.

Good luck!
