What veggie dish would be good for nonvegetarians?

Question

I'm giving a speech in my speech class (duh!) to persuade them to become vegetarians. I want to bring in a vegetarian dish that hopefully most or all of them will like. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You want to show the class that they can have a full meal without meat, right? Most people know about the dips, veggie trays, etc. from parties- so you might want to bring in a hot dish to show that filling can also be vegetarian. PLEASE avoid green salad!! That is what most meat eaters think veggies eat. ugh.

There are these cool pouched Indian foods (sorry- but they are quick, easy, and cheap) and nearly all vegetarian. It might be something tasty and different. It also might be a little too different. IF you want to try it, heat it up- Pindi is good) and serve it on a little triangle of pita bread. very tasty. mmmmmm.......

you could also do rice and bean burritos- same protein complex as meat- but without the dead animal.

What ever you end up bringing in, you should 1- remember that you don't want to serving and consuming of the dish to take away from your speech. you want it to compliment, not take over. and 2- bring in the recipe so that others can make it at home- if they so choose :)

have fun!!

Answer 2

Black beans, re-fried beans

Heat separately in bowls in the microwave.

Smear re fried beans on a flour tortilla, spoon on black beans.

Sprinkle with veggie cheese.

Roll up and put in baking pan seam side down.

Pour over a can of Old El Paso Enchalada sauce.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Heat for 10 minutes on BROIL. Watching so it doesn't burn.

Remove from oven and serve with lettuce, tomato and olives on top. I use real sour cream and cheese. I don't mind the veggie cheese, but the fake sour cream BITES>

This is a GREAT, YUMMY and FAST meal.
Prep time to the table 15 minutes

I always think you can't go wrong with Quorn. Neither me nor any members of my family are vegetarians but we all eat Quorn as it's a very good meat substitute.

You could try sausage sandwiches or sausage and mash or even Quorn burgers for cheese burgers. Everyone loves burgers right?

I always use the Quorn mince for all my chilli's and bolognese's as it is less fatty and has a nicer texture than minced meat so maybe you could make a nice big Chilli Con Carne.

I absolutely have a superb tofu dish I were given from VegWeb, yet when your relatives is tofuphobic, that couldn't be good. So that is an somewhat good tempeh recipe I were given from a similar website: a million 8-oz..kit of tempeh, reduce into strips or chops 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar a million/4 cup soy sauce a million/4 cup pomegranate molasses blend a million/2 cup of the balsamic vinegar with the soy sauce and marinate for no less than 1 million/2 hour. blend something of the balsamic vinegar with the pomegranate molasses and warm temperature to warmth in a small saucepan. Grill the marinated tempeh and brush with the pomegranate blend. at the same time as tempeh is cooked via, drizzle final blend over tempeh products. Serve with a great grain pilaf (Seeds of change makes a good seven-grain pilaf blend). I also stumbled on a superb kale recipe from VegWeb, and right here that is: a million bunch kale a million/4 cup pine nuts olive oil lemon juice garlic Wash kale and tear into products. Steam for extra or less 5 minutes. at the same time as kale is steaming, gently roast pine nuts in a dry pan. blend kale, pine nuts, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl. the guy who wrote the recipe did no longer have quantities for the elements except for the kale. in case your relatives likes vegetables, they ought to flow nuts for this recipe. i recognize it really is extra of a range of dishes than a meal, yet they are speedy and straightforward. with any success your relatives will make some veggie aspects, yet i ought to a minimum of make the tempeh and the kale. and also you will get pomegranate molasses at a center jap save or at total ingredients. Worst is composed of worst, you could decrease pomegranate juice.

Answer 5

Veggie chili! You use tempeh or TVP instead of meat.

www.vegweb.com has recipes for casseroles and dinner pies. You could make that for your class.

If you can find something that calls for mushrooms, such as creminis or portabellos, so much the better.

Absolutely show that vegetarianism isn't just about tofu and salads, but lots of delicous foods.

Answer 6

Broccoli Cheese casserole
Carrot Souffle
Veggie Lasagna
vegetable soup
black bean quesidias

Answer 7

If you're a vegetarian that eats dairy products and eggs bring in a cheese pizza or make the pizza using soy cheese instead.

Answer 8

I'm not a vegetarian, but I had this really good Eggplant Parmesan. You can also try veggie burgers.

Answer 9

vegetarian enchilada casseroles are really good and most meat eaters don't really even notice that meat is missing from the dish...also, vegetarian burgers would be a good thing to show your classmates how good a meatless burger can be.....

Answer 10

think of something that nonvegetarians eat like every day. i say go with pasta or something. also, if you want other reasons, go to peta2.com and they have recipies that are tastey and other reasons to go vegetarian, including the gross stuff, like the slaughter and such, if you want to add that to your speech. <3 DeegeMonster
