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

Yummy Beans N' Greens in a Bowl

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:48:30 -0500

A light and delicious fast fix meal that is easy on the waist and the pocketbook! This comes together very fast and will fill you up with just a few tasty but healthy ingredients. To me this dish seems like a beautiful marriage between Italian and Southern cooking. Hope you enjoy! PS: If you use a vegetarian 'chicken' broth this will be completely vegetarian friendly! Skip the parm or use a vegan parm and you have a vegan friendly dish! The portion is very generous! Adjust time if you are using more tender greens so they are not over cooked. -- posted by mama's kitchen

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

Low Fat Chili

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:28:52 -0500

An easy chili recipe with lean ground beef and low in calories and fat. Most often when I want chili I want beef not chicken or turkey. This simple chili lends itself to many variations while still remaining low in calories. -- posted by Chef Larz in Pennsboro, WV

Chinese Bourbon Tofu

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:43:45 -0500

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

Tofu Buffalo Wings

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:44:53 -0500

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

Braised Portuguese Sausage and Blue Lake Green Beans

The Portugese Sausage and fresh Blue Lake Green beans are combined to produce a wonderful enhanced entree. These fresh fine herbs, fresh green beans and potatoes are slowly braised in vegetable stock to bring out the their wonderful flavor. The Portugese Sausage adds a rich and savory flavor to finish this wonderful entree. -- posted by Chef #848413

The Best Boston Baked Beans

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:27:37 -0500

This is a great recipe I found for baked beans. It was originally posted from The Sacramento Bee, 1998. This recipe is used by the Durgin-Park Restaurant in Boston, MA. This restaurant dates back to the American Revolution and is famous for its Boston baked beans. The Durgin-Park cook, Tommy Ryan, has prepared this recipe at the restaurant for the past 37 years. The restaurant serves 1,000 diners on an average Saturday evening. A recipe that has been around this long - and has served many people - can't be wrong. -- posted by VillageMom

Baked Tofu With a Cheesy Garlic Crust

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:28:05 -0500

Derived from Kittencal's "Moist Cheddar-Garlic Oven Fried Chicken Breast", made in an attempt to convince my family that tofu can be just as good as chicken -- and it worked! I like to serve it over linguine with a light marinara sauce. IMPORTANT: To prepare tofu to receive the marinade, it must be drained and then pressed (between 2 plates, with a weighted object on top) for 30 minutes, flipping it over and draining the water off the plate 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

Crockpot Beans & Country Pork Ribs

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:57:55 -0500

This is a crockpot recipe for beans that I made up one day out of necessity. It is very easy, and my family loves it. I usually start it the night before, and add everything to my crockpot the next morning before I go to work. When I come in at lunch I check my crockpot, and mix the beans. This works out great on nights when the kids have games. Then when we don't get home until 7pm and everyone is starving.. dinner is ready! -- posted by JusMe2943

Chickpea(Garbanzo) Patties

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

This recipe makes one serving, because I usually only cook for myself, but you can double as many times as you want to suit your needs. I eat these patties on lettuce, but you can use them as patties in a veggie burger. Enjoy! -- posted by Jennifer (Chef #1283746)

White Chili W/Rotisserie Chicken

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:07:52 -0500

I threw this together one day when I wasn't in the mood to cook a chicken myself. I'd read a lot of white chili recipes to get ideas but this is what I like. I'm in the habit now of jotting things down as I create them so I can re-make them if they're really good. :) -- posted by finicky eater

Just a little something I threw together one night when I had a craving for something Italian, but healthy. This recipe makes a healthy portion, but its just as good the next day! You can increase the tomatoes, zucchini and beans if you don't want the turkey, or just to have more vegetables. Its easy to adjust as you want. -- posted by Chef #1162267

Mexican Tortilla Casserole

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:03:07 -0500

This is a great way to use up leftovers or random pantry items if you don't want to make a trip to the store to prepare dinner. I came up with this recipe while I was looking for a way to use up sausage and ground meat that had been in our freezer. I typically use a combination of black and pinto beans. Using chorizo as the ground meat makes this pie especially yummy. -- posted by K-bizzle

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:12:49 -0500

This was inspired by a recent trip to New Orleans. I wanted something vegetarian, but with Cajun taste & this is what I came up with. It's easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but tastes like you've been cooking a while. You can serve it over rice, pasta or, if you want to be really southern, grits. -- posted by Jeri Roth Lande

An incredibly easy vegan recipe with many options. It is a combination of carrots, navy beans and mushrooms served with a savory lemon sauce over the pasta of your choice. Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds and Flax Seeds for additional nutrients. Note: I used Smart Balance Vegan Butter which works wonderfully in all recipes requiring butter. I also recommend using a vegetable broth containing no MSG. -- posted by Where's Mine?

Crockpot White Chili

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:05:43 -0500

This recipe comes from the book: "Make It Fast, Cook It Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. It is a very tasty, not too hot chili that is just right for these cold winter days. I added little cubes (less than 1/2-inch) of 3 uncooked chicken breasts to this chili about half way through the cooking for a little more protein, as though it needs it. It didn't hurt one bit! The author says this is a soupy chili but I did not find it so. It has great flavor. She cautions that the beans sink while the corn floats. So you need to dig down to the bottom of the bowl to make sure you get beans in every bite. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Lebanese/Syrian Fasoulia

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:28:14 -0500

This dish is similar to Bazella, with its tomato-based broth. In this dish, the main ingredients are fasoulia, a type of lima bean and meat. Cubes of lamb may be substituted for the beef. I learned how to prepare this dish while I was living in Syria for a year, studying abroad. Please note: if you use dry lima beans, they must soak in water overnight. The shells may come off of them when you begin to cook them, but this is normal. -- posted by Mustafa's Cook

For extra nutrition, leave potatoes unpeeled. To boost nutritional value further, add 2 cups chopped kale (chard, baby spinach, baby beet greens, etc.) to the slow cooker *just*before serving -about ten-fifteen minutes. Kidney beans can replace garbanzo beans if you prefer and for additional color. A sun-dried tomato pesto would be an interesting change in place of traditional pesto.

Turkey Enchilada Casserole

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:06:32 -0500

I like this as comfort food - it isn't gourmet, but it is easy to make, and I like the taste of it pretty all right, especially when I am in the mood for Mexican. The key to this recipe is getting GOOD enchilada sauce - you won't be happy with the normal, Americanized El Paso brand, etc. Go to the Mexican food aisle and get some of their sauce. Additionally, good corn tortillas are also very, very important, and the cheaper ones are rubbery (mission brands aren't good). All spice amounts are general, and should be modified to taste ( you should start with less and build the sauce up to the taste you like with these seasonings). This will be pretty mild as suggested, I would start with what is below and build from there. -- posted by larchie

Very easy to put together. I have a 6qt All-clad crock pot with the insert that I'm able to use on the stove top as well, which comes in sooo handy. Otherwise, just brown your beef in a large skillet, drain, and transfer to your crockpot. This makes a good size batch so if your crock pot is much smaller, just try cutting the recipe in half. If you work during the day, this can be thrown together the evening before, stuck in the fridge, then started before you leave for work. Can't get any easier than that! -- posted by Noni Suzanne

Sarah's Secret Recipe Refried Beans

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:11:43 -0500

I have been making this recipe for years. It is a very simple recipe and it always meets rave reviews. I prefer it with bacon fat (I'm the sort of person who keeps bacon drippings in a canister in the refrigerator), but if you don't have any on hand, or want to make this recipe vegetarian, it tastes almost as good with vegetable oil. Black beans are my favorite, but you can also make this recipe with nearly any other type of canned bean. I've used pinto, kidney, cannelli and even chickpeas. Use this as a dip or a filling for burritos. -- posted by SarahCKS

This recipe came from a Pillsbury cookbook and I have made it several times enjoying more and more each time. Originally it was a vegetarian dish but since our family is not vegetarian I have added meat to the recipe but one could certainly remove it. -- posted by Torgy11

3 Pepper Chili

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:13:42 -0500

Easy Hearty Chili

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:14:17 -0500

This is a hearty chili without tomato chunks. If you prefer chucks of tomato in your chili use diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. This is just enough for a lunch for my husband, our toddler, and myself, but if we need a bit more I'd go to the 22 oz size of tomato sauce and or beans. Do not leave out the salt since the little bit really brings out the other flavors. IF you making a large pot to have left overs leave out the salt since chili always gets saltier as it stores. I started with another chili recipe I found here, but we made several modifications so I am posting it as is. -- posted by Vyrianna

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
