Kitchen Sink Lentil Burgers

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:59:33 -0500

I had a pot of lentils and only a vague idea to use them to make soup. Then I took a look at the recipes here for patties and burgers and decided to have a go at it. Per usual, I had this and that on hand and out came this creation. It's GREAT with ketchup and is the closest I've come to having something vegetarian homemade that tasted like my Mom's meatloaf. It makes a fabulous burger too! Substitute curry powder or chili powder for the italian seasoning for a different taste or leave out the italian seasoning altogether for a really plain burger. -- posted by Honeywine

Baked Pasta With Tofu Cheese (Vegan)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:57:16 -0500

More vegan comfort food! I modified this recipe from the Whole Foods Web site. In place of (or in addition to) the mushrooms try black olives, vegetarian pepperoni slices, bell peppers, artichoke hearts...whatever you wish. Works well with gluten-free pasta. Serve with salad and garlic bread. -- posted by Prose

Memory Lane Black Bean Soup

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:58:26 -0500

I was so sad that Campbell's discontinued Black Bean Soup, so had to attempt a clone. Please note that there are no Southwestern spices in this version. Also no butter, oil, or meat. Most of the Black Bean Soup recipes one encounters these days are Southwest inspired. Not this one. Cubed avocado on top of each bowl is tasty and pretty. Or you could float a lemon slice on top. -- posted by Heirloom Tomato

African-Inspired Stew

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:04:29 -0500

The monstrously vague title doesn't do this stew justice; it uses the starchy richness of sweet potato and the fragrance of peanuts to produce a warm, hearty and delicious meal with different textures and aromas. It's healthy and filling, and can be easily adapted to your tastes. -- posted by MontrealJulia

Not Cheese Dip

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:12:42 -0500

Really a full meal in sauce form. There are a lot of ingredients, but since it's combined in the blender, it's super easy. This is adapted from a recipe originally published in Vegan Lunchbox Around the World by Jennifer McCann. Whenever I ask my 8-year-old daughter if she wants something special for dinner, this is what she asks for. We dip tortilla chips in it, but it's good spread on burritos. -- posted by Kumquat Knickers

Vegetarian (Or Vegan) Black Bean Chili

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:23:34 -0500

I cut this recipe out of the Philadelphia Inquirer years ago and have adjusted it to suit my tastes. I've made this often enough that I don't measure the spices but you should adjust them to your desired level of spiciness. My new favorite way to eat this chili is over baked sweet potatoes, topped with sour cream and Frank's Red Hot Sauce. -- posted by Chef #673508

Pleasantly seasoned, the delightful vegan soup is very filling and chock full of nutrients. The orzo make for a great one-dish meal. Feel free to use fresh squash puree, out of budget and convenience I use the bricks of pureed squash from the freezer section. 2 are needed for this recipe.

Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:10:39 -0500

So similar to a family favorite, Lali's "PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps", that my family was more than happy to eat tofu -- always a good sign! IMPORTANT: To prepare tofu to receive the marinade, it must be drained, then pressed (between two plates, with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping it over and draining the water off the plate halfway through. The more water you get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be! -- posted by Alexander Mar

Southwest Four Bean Salad Supreme

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:37:13 -0500

Tim and I came up with this recipe after having a deli salad that we thought we could make on our own...and better. This is a very versatile recipe. I have served it on a bed of greens and have added chopped grilled chicken on occasion. You can also add a can of quartered artichoke hearts and a jar of chopped roasted red bell peppers. ( Be sure to drain both.) It's a great day before shopping recipe as most ingredients are canned, bottled or frozen. Be prepared...this makes enough to take to a potluck. It makes approx. 18 cups. -- posted by Laura911RN

Derived from LinMarie's "Bourbon Chicken" recipe, this tofu, fried, cooked in sauce and served over rice, won't disappoint; at the moment its my favorite tofu recipe. IMPORTANT: To prepare the tofu to soak up the marinade, it must be drained and then pressed (between two plates with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping and draining off the water halfway through. The more water you can get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be! -- posted by Alexander Mar

Derived from Robbie Rice's "Hooter's Buffalo Wings. I've been a vegetarian since my early teens, but to this day I still miss BBQ chicken and wings. Well, no longer! IMPORTANT: To prepare tofu to receive marinade, it must be drained and pressed (between two plates, with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping and draining halfway through. The more water you can get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be. -- posted by Alexander Mar

Bakes Beans - "brilliant" - Vegan

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:22:27 -0500

Adapted from How it all Vegan. This is really easy to throw together, provided you have the beans ready to go (or use canned). Even if you have to boil some up, dry navy beans and soy beans are pretty quick if you've soaked them for 6 hours or so. This is a less sweet version of baked beans with only a little molasses, more tomato-ey. It's satisfying and simple. If accompanied by a salad and some hearty bread it would probably be enough for 4 people. For larger portions though, I'd say more like 2 or 3, with some leftovers. The original recipe only called for 1 1/2 cups broth, I adjusted to 2 1/2, found it was too dry otherwise, but then I really like sauce so you may choose to cut that back down. I also added 1 tbsp of brown sugar, found it was just lacking a little something without it. The last adjustment was to the cooking time - originally calling for 40 mins at 350, that wasn't near enough time to even cook the onions, so I upped to 375 for an hour. (Note, prep/Cook time does not include soaking or boiling of the beans). -- posted by magpie diner

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:35:59 -0500

Harissa-Spiked Houmous

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:38:58 -0500

This recipe is delicous -- for a nosh, cocktail party or just an evening snack! I love these kinds of appetizers because they don't take much time, this one is vegan -- so almost anyone can eat it. I like to serve them with Pita Crisps: preheat oven to 375ºF. Split 6 pitas hrizontally into circles, then cut each circle into 6 triangles. Lay them in a single layer, rough side up, on 2 or 3 baking sheets. Use a pastry brush to brush triangles with olive oil, then sprinkle with fennel seeds and a pinch of sea salt or instead of fennel and sea salt use Mrs Dash salt free seasonings. For example: Table Blend, Original or Garlic & Herb, these have a flavor all their own -- try it you might like it. These can be made about a week ahead, just store in airtight container. -- posted by Manami

Mecklenburger Lentil Stew

This is a recipe from Northern Germany. If you have ever wondered what to do with those big german hot dog things called Bockwurst... here is an idea! This Stew is vegetarian until the Bockwurst is added, which is right at the end, so it is a great one for pleasing everyone! -- posted by Jana Steinhagen

Middle Eastern Style Three-Lentil Soup With Potatoes (Vegan)

Based this off my other lentil soup recipe. You can find most of these ingredients in Indian grocery stores, it takes longer to cook because red lentils dissolve easily but the others don't. Particularly tasty with Recipe #411190. -- posted by the80srule
