This is an appetizer on the menu of a restaurant here in St. Louis called Aya Sofia. It's a cold bean salad, a traditional mediterranean dish. I loved it so much that I re-created it at home. The measurements are approximate, so adjust to your own taste. Time includes refrigeration. -- posted by St. Louie Suzie

Daikon 'fettuccine' With Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:23:10 -0400

I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts. -- posted by JoshH347

This colorful creation has a lot more flavor and a lot less fat than traditional pasta salad. It's easy to throw together, and with lots of vegetables and vegetarian protein it can be served as a light entree or a hearty side dish, perfect for potlucks, picnics or packed lunches. It can easily be made gluten-free by subbing gluten-free pasta. -- posted by Prose

Grilled Spicy Asian Tofu

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:13:50 -0400

This is really good - no leftovers, even carnivorous children went back for seconds. The marinade provides subtle heat while the teriyaki glaze is sweet & smoky. Serve with Asian Grilled Vegetables (search for the recipe) and steamed rice or udon noodles. I use Sriracha Sauce for the marinade - green top, rooster on the bottle - stuff is the best and HOT! I use Kikkoman "Takumi Collection Spicy Miso " Teriyaki sauce to baste. Really good.... -- posted by ChandraSoleil

Jalapeno & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:15:30 -0400

Another nice hummus recipe that makes use of my garden's peppers by way of The Wichita Eagle who got it from the North American Olive Oil Association. This one is a little lighter on the lemon & tahini - adjust to your taste of course. Use a potato masher to crush the garbanzos if you do not have food processor or blender - did it that way myself for years & now I prefer a chunkier hummus to the ultra-smooth, go figure. Serve with baked pita bread or pita chips or stuff into tomatoes (big cherries piped with smooth spicy hummus are great heavy hors d'oeuvres). -- posted by Buster's friend

Super Quick Lebanese Fool Medammas

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:04:18 -0400

Fool Medammas is such a tasty & healthy dish, but when making it the traditional way from scratch it can be a bit time consuming. Here, you can use canned fava beans for a much quicker (but still tasty) version. Fool Medammas is a very poular breakfast dish, served with fresh bread - perfect for Suhor during Ramadan. It also makes a nice light lunch if served with bread & a good salad or you can serve as part of a series of appetizers (like a mezze platter). -- posted by Um Safia

Four-Bean Casserole

This is the best baked bean dish I've ever had. I've been searching for the perfect bean recipe, and this might just be it. Recipe from Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom (David Letterman).

I am Torgo. When The Master told me we were becoming vegan, I said it was an abomination. He then reminded me, "You're the abomination, goat boy!" Since he doesn't yet want to give up his favorite comfort foods (and comfort wives), I concocted this simple fake lasagna. It makes 2 large portions if only accompanied with bread, or 4 small portions if 2 hapless guests dine with you and your The Master. You'll find Torgotta Cheese with my other recipes. -- posted by Torgo, Esq.

Mixed Bean Soup With Vegetables

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:49:12 -0400

I love making this dish because it is tasty, filling and healthy. My bean soup is full of veggies and makes a large amount. Also, it is incredibly cheap to make. I take it to work every day for a week and so that I know I'm being healthy and avoiding tempting snacks. I get the beans in the gorcery's bulk aisle - it is a mix of pinto, kidney and white beans, as well as barley and split peas. This recipe makes a huge pot so you can look forward to leftovers. -- posted by curiousngeorge

A very hardy curry dish the whole family loved even though i'm usually the only one who likes swiss chard or curry. The recipe came from the Saskatoon Sun.

Lambs Quarter (Quelites) and Beans

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:29:09 -0400

"Quelites" is a Spanish word for "wild greens." We like to cook with edible weeds, and lambs quarters fall into this category. You can look online for more information about how to identify this plant, which you can use much like you use spinach. If you live in the midwestern United States, you probably have these growing in your yard. I'm not sure where my husband got this recipe, but I like it. -- posted by MarieL

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:45:00 -0400

This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week. I used my recipe: recipe #84474 as a base, switched the sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and added a can of coconut milk, and came up with this! I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Vegan Lentil Soup in 20 Minutes

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:25:45 -0400

I admit, the first time I used a pressure cooker I was a little afraid. I left my studio and stood on the other side of the door to avoid severe burning and disfigurement if my pot of legumes exploded. I called a friend to ask her if I was doing it right. But now I see the pressure cooker like a trusted friend who only wants to save me some valued time. So when I saw this lentil recipe in Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the preparation time of 1 hour, I was so glad I had a pressure cooker to cut the time by nearly two-thirds, borrowing a technique from the Spanish and the Lentils with Chorizo Sausage Recipe (Recipe #342592). The first thing I did was skip the step where you sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. It's unnecessary, and you'll find that my method makes a soup with a smoother, more pleasant consistency by cooking the vegetables whole or halved, then removing and pureeing them afterwards. My kitchen has a surplus of brown lentils, so those are what I used. I'm going to keep the brown lentils in the recipe because I don't know if French lentils require more liquid. One thing I want to try for next time, since I used bouillon cubes, is to break them up and try to dissolve them in step 2 rather than prepare the stock ahead of time, and I plan to cut down the salt next time. I find the best way to seed plum tomatoes is to cut them in half and sweep out the seedy parts with your index finger. The soup you'll get from this is addictively delicious and filling, and you'll feel like a genius for owning a pressure cooker. -- posted by Valeria

Easy Vegetarian/Vegan Black Bean Soup

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:10:37 -0400

Hearty, yummy, and healthy! This is a really easy soup to make, it cooks really fast without many steps, and is very rich with black beans. Some fresh cilantro would make a nice replacement to the coriander but I usually don't have it on hand, so I used dry spices for everything but it came out great. I like my soups with a tad of salt, but you can omit the salt if you're watching your sodium intake or lower it/replace with something like SaltSense. It's very pleasant and mild, though you could probably put some Bayou Blast or red cayenne in the spice mixture if you want it hotter. Yields about 2-3 small servings. -- posted by the80srule

Mediterranean Artichoke Stew

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:31:07 -0400

A zesty, hearty dish that is delicious both hot AND cold. Artichokes, lemon, and some spices make up the base of the flavor, and the addition of potatoes and garbanzo beans (chickpeas) add substance. Wonderful served with just a fresh green salad. I adapted this from a Madhur Jaffrey recipe from "World Vegetarian" ("Artichokes Stewed with Potatoes," labeled as Moroccan) by adjusting the spices a little bit and adding the chickpeas. -- posted by DaphneM

Easy One Pot Lentils and Rice

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:49:39 -0400

I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! -- posted by Chef #1082457

Vegan Kidney Bean and Mushroom Curry

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:20:57 -0400

Tasty vegan curry that is quick to prepare, providing you have the beans ready to go or are using tinned. The original version comes from http://theveganmouse.blogspot.com. I made this for dinner tonight and thought it was fabulous! All depending on how long you let it simmer and how mashed up (or not) your beans are, you may want to add more water or "milk". Haven't tried to sub the soy milk for almond or rice milk yet, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. I have a garam masala recipe posted if you're looking to whip one up, it only takes a few minutes. If you're starting with dried beans, be sure to soak overnight first (roughly a cup of dried beans would be enough). Boil them in plenty of fresh water for about 45 minutes....don't salt the dried beans or water, it makes them tough. Hope you find this as delicious as I did! -- posted by magpie diner

Yummy Indian Crunch Patties / Lentil & Chickpea Masala Vedai

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:36:48 -0400

I finally got the blades to go back on that $*%#@! food processor correctly so I've been making lots of fritters. (Preferably all at once and freezing so A) I don't have to scramble looking for something to eat between classes, and B) I hate washing that cantankerous odious thing and the less I have to wash it out, the better.) I found a website (if my brain was working right now I could remember what site it was) that had lots of cool Indian and vegan recipes. I browsed through many then I got this idea for some spicy fritters that didn't involve me getting up to go back out to the store; I'll probably be posting fritter/crunch patty recipes all week. These are not quite bhajia, not quite masala vedai, but they're tasty. And vegan! Yields about 10 crunch patties. -- posted by the80srule

Lentils are such a good-for-you food, and served over brown rice, make a complete meal. This recipe is a combination of several, and has a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor. Add water if they become too thick. Leftovers can be frozen. -- posted by Widget3

Just Right Spinach & Chickpea Curry (Vegan) - Chole Palak

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:58:39 -0500

I called this just right because it was just the right recipe for the amount of time I wanted to spend on cooking it, and it has just the right amount of ingredients, mainly pantry staples so I wasn't scrounging around for substitutes. I found this on www.manjulaskitchen.com ... she has some fabulous recipes, very easy to follow. I made her parathas as well, best ever for me. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Three Bean Vegan Chili

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:54:20 -0500

A quick and simple spicy vegetarian/vegan chili with beans and pasta. I grew up loving my mom's chili with beef. When I gave up red meat, I switched to ground turkey, and adjusted the recipe slightly. I later increased the bean ratio and cut out the meat entirely. -- posted by jenms

Winter Squash Parsnip and Lentil Stew (Vegan)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:16:06 -0500

Another experiment I wanted to keep in mind. A simple recipe that results in a rich, creamy slightly sweet and surprisingly flavorful dinner. Lots of vitamin and protein goodness, good for a cold night. -- posted by LadyPoe

Hummus - Silky Smooth, from Scratch!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:48:16 -0500

This recipe was published in the food section of my city paper from a local Lebanese restaurant. Amazingly smooth and creamy. "Baking soda is the secret to silky smooth hummus; it softens the beans so they cook quickly and break down easily when blended. The hummus can be prepared up to two days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use." -- posted by biznana

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:14:47 -0500

This is a tad of a spinoff of a recipe on the side of a Nasoya Silken Creations box. You can skip the vanilla and cut the confectioners sugar a little bit if you use Silken Creations Vanilla instead. I didn't include a recipe for a pie crust because I like it crustless! And for ultimate laziness, you can even mix it right in the pie pan! There are lots of good vegan pie crust recipes on here, or you can buy a premade one. Note that cook time does not include cooling time. -- posted by the80srule

Kristin's Vegan Chili With Cashews

Not your traditional chili. I often play around with it adding different kinds of beans, sometimes 2 cans sometimes 3. -- posted by Kristin D.

Lentil Skillet (With Cumin and Lemon)

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:20:17 -0500

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful. I tend to cut the recipe in half, and then use less olive oil and more cumin. Also I sometimes find the uncooked garlic a bit harsh; wilting it a bit in the bottom of the pan may be wise. -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

Simple Yummy Spiced Lentils

Lentils With Cumin and Asafetida

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:32:27 -0500

This is a wonderful Indian lentil side dish. Asafetida has a very strong, musky smell that many people find unappealing. Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from contaminating your other spices, and if you really don't like the smell, keep it in the freezer--I left it in my car for a little while and everything in the car smelled like it afterward. Despite the strange smell, I have not yet met anyone who dislikes the flavor once it's prepared! This recipe comes from a cookbook called Madhur Jaffrey's Spice Kitchen. All the ingredients should be available at any Indian grocery store. -- posted by Edana

Egyptian Red Lentil Soup

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:30:42 -0500

This soup is considered to be a tradition for breaking the Ramadan fast in Egypt and is a traditional "Middle Eastern peace recipe". I got this from a Middle Eastern living blog and decided to share it since I was looking for red lentil recipes. Red lentils can be found in Indian and Middle Eastern grocery stores. This awesome soup is vegan and quite healthy. -- posted by the80srule

Caramelized Tofu W/ Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:47:11 -0500

Last Thanksgiving, none of my guests wanted turkey, so I wanted to come up with a pareve main dish. There were NO leftovers and I get more requests for this recipe throughout the year than anything else, so it will be the main fare this year as well. -- posted by Feeding my Family

Rice and Black Beans With Peppers and Garlic

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:25:17 -0500
