Tibetan Mushrooms With Vegetables (Tse Sesha)

Tue, 06 May 2008 23:45:45 -0400

In Tibet, mushrooms are gathered in the wild for use as a low cost meat substitute. The favorite is Sesha, however since it's not readily available outside of Tibet, other varieties such as oyster mushrooms are used in this dish at the Lhasa Moon, a Tibetan Restaurant located in San Francisco. Shitake mushrooms are an especially good substitute. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Live Garden Burger (Raw Foods)

A La Rousse Salad (Romanian)

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:28:46 -0400

Another Romanian recipe from my Romanian friend Carmen. I love the tangy flavor of this Romanian potato salad. The pickled red bell pepper can be difficult to find. If you can't find it, Carmen suggests to just double amount of pickles as a replacement so it keeps the good sour taste. She did this when she made it for a cooking demonstration and it tasted great! The vegetarian sausages are optional, but I personally think they are a must as they give the salad great flavor. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Slightly Spicy Vegetable Curry

Wed, 28 May 2008 23:41:55 -0400

Like all curries, this one is spicy for those that can't handle any spicy food. However, if you love hot spicy food this one may be a little mild, but you can spice it up even hotter by adding additional cayenne pepper to it. This is wonderful serve with Nans and Dahl. Try adding different vegetables or omit any that you don't happen to care for. Another recipe by one of the Micheff Sisters, Brenda Walsh. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Vegetarian Pineapple Curry

Fri, 30 May 2008 19:33:48 -0400

I found this on vegtv and it looks very yummy! Enlightened Factoid Pineapple is the sole source of bromelain, a protein digesting enzyme compound that aids digestion and boosts healing. This powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. Choose a brightly colored pineapple with deep green leaves and a sweet aroma that is plump and heavy for its size. -- posted by busybee_jrs

Vegetarian Sarmale (Romanian Cabbage Rolls)

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:44:07 -0400

Sarmale are tradditional Romanian cabbage rolls that are always served at weddings and during Christmas, as well as other occasions or for no occasion at all. My Romanian friend, Carmen, gave me this family recipe that she altered slighty since becoming vegetarian. It can be a lot of work and a little complicated as you first try rolling/stuffing the cabbage leaves, but after a little practice you'll get it and the results are fantastic! -- posted by Enjolinfam

I doubled this recipe and it filled an 8x8 2-quart casserole dish. This had visual appeal, making it a good take-along dish. Serve this dish with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork.

From Victoria Boutenko's 12 Steps to Raw Foods. I haven't tried it yet, but I have to give the book back to the library. The recipe says: "you have to experiment to get the consisitency desired." I guess that means add more water if necessary or more solids if it's too wet. -- posted by mliss29

Carrot and Coriander (Cilantro) Soup

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:24:24 -0400

One of the trendiest soups over here in the UK at the moment is carrot and coriander soup. Coriander is the same thing as cilantro only by a different name. I have enjoyed this soup but because of my dietary requirements have avoided it because creamy soups like this so often use a lot of cream. So, I was happy to find this version of the soup in the August 2008 copy of BBC Good Magazine because it doesn't use any dairy at all. I have now tried the recipe and think it is fantastic. It is very rich and creamy tasting without any at all. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Marinated, Mixed Vegetables

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:36:40 -0400

This is one of my favorite summer side-dishes. Though it's great any time of the year, it's particularly good when fresh, locally-grown produce is available. The marinade, an improvisation from some forty years ago, has withstood the test of time to become my signature salad dressing/marinade. Try it with your favorite salad ingredients or as a marinade for seafood. -- posted by Chef #914943

Moroccan Salad of Raw Grated Carrots/Citrus Cinnamon Dressing

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:28:57 -0400

Recipe comes from Mediterranean Fresh by Joyce Goldstein. Her directions are confusing about the cooking of the carrots. What she exactly writes is "For carrots with a bit more body and texture, you need to cook them briefly, as they are not porous enough to absorb the flavors of a salad dressing. For optimum flavor, dress carrots while they are still warm. You may warm the grated carrots in the dressing or serve as is." I am thinking (big thinker here) maybe 3 minutes? I also think buying those already grated carrots would be mighty handy. Use only 1/4 cup of the dressing, and use the remainder of the dressing for a beet, orange, and greens salad. -- posted by WiGal

Rosemary-Roasted Carrots

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:29:55 -0400

Simplistic and delicious! High heat roasting of the carrots intensifies the flavor and almost caramelizes them. This really is the best way to cook almost all root vegetables to get the full flavor of the vegetable! Preparation time includes peeling and cutting carrots. You can eliminate this if you use precut or washed baby carrots. -- posted by sassafrasnanc

Entered for safe-keeping. From Donald Gazzinga's "The No-Salt, Lowest Sodium Light Meals Cookbook". Recovering heart patients and those with congestive heart failure require drastic measures to eliminate as much sodium from their diet as possible.

Carottes Râpées or Grated Carrot Salad

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:24:59 -0500

Very popular in France- you'll find it on any bistro menu. A simple salad of grated carrots and parsley, with a few other ingredients. The most important thing is the size of the carrots- they must be grated very thin. This salad is best with carrots alone. I would recommend storing the dressing and the salad separately until time to eat. You may want to add more oil or lemon, etc. But do not overdress. It should glisten, but not be swimming in dressing. -- posted by Chef #1011387

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:44:32 -0500

Kudos to my sis! This former fast-food junkie has become a lot more conscious of the foods she prepares for her family in recent years. The fact that her husband has had a heart attack (requiring quadruple bypass surgery) and a stroke in the past few years--as well as being diagnosed diabetic--has most likely had something to do with this. In any event, I couldn't be happier that she is trying to eat better and to make sure her family does the same! Knowing that I'm a veggie, she has been sharing any good vegetarian recipes that come her way. This one comes from a neighbor who is quite the creative chef. Simple and delicious, it's the perfect dinner for a cold winter night. Serve with a warm crusty loaf of homemade bread, and you're in business. Thanks, sis : ) ! -- posted by Veggie Girl NYC

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:16:22 -0500

My sis and me came up with this recipe when searching for a nice, relatively quick to make and warming dinner dish on one of those cold winter days. This soup is not overly spicy and has a light sweetness coming from the carrots. It makes for a thick soup, so if you like your soup to be less like a puree, you might have to add more broth to it.

Pickled Carrot Sticks (Gourmet Magazine)

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:53:38 -0500

This is great as a party appetizer, a snack, or as a cocktail garnish. Recipe was developed by Zanne Stewart, Gourmet's executive food editor, and was printed in the magazine in both 1985 and 2003. I reduced the amount of dill as I found the original amount (1 1/2 T of dill seeds) too strong. Best of all, they don't need to be sealed in sterilized jars, so they're a snap to make. Carrots keep, chilled in an airtight container, for 1 month. You can use peeled or unpeeled carrots. It also works really well with other vegetables, including green beans, cauliflower, and celery. -- posted by blucoat

Vegetable and Herb Broth

An all-purpose vegetable broth for soups, rice, etc. They state that you can make it into a light sauce for ravioli by reducing it over medium heat, uncovered, for about 15 minutes until it is almost syrupy. Broth can be made ahead of time; it can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Recipe from Whole Foods. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Vinegret. Russian Vegetarian Salad

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:09:28 -0400

Vinegret [vee-nee-grate] is one of the traditional vegetarian Russian dish, usually Russians cook in on a New Years eve. The word Vinegret means mishmash. This salad is very simple but contains a less of calories, healthy, and has a rich taste. To tell you the truth, I hate boiled beet and carrot.. eek.. but their taste is absolutely different in this salad, you can hardly feel them here. The best way to spend as less time as possible is to boil all ingredients the day before you need them. -- posted by TasteRussian

Vegetarian Delight (Stir-Fry)

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:16:31 -0400

this recipe comes from a cookbook i purchased while living in thailand, as recommended by a native. the key is cooking time for the vegetables. be sure they are not overcooked and too soft. always use fresh vegetables, as frozen always turn out soggy. this is a great side for any dish, not just thai food. to make a great spread, i cook this along with my cashew chicken and sweet & sour pork/chicken. -- posted by gnet

No-Chicken Soup

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:55:05 -0400

This is my "trademark" recipe--I make it every single week! It is so rich and flavorful I like it more than "traditional" chicken soup. Although the secret ingredient--sassafras--isn't essential, it deepens the flavor. Powdered sassafras leaves can be found in supermarkets in the spice section. It's also called "fil'e" or "gumbo fil'e." If your market has a "Cajun" or "Creole" section, you might be able to find it there too. It's a classic Cajun seasoning, but it's also good in just about everything. -- posted by Theodwyn

My Take on Sneaky Orange Puree

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:05:25 -0400

This is from the Sneaky Chef's recipe but I have added a little more to it. It's still orange! and so nutritious you will want to put it in almost everything! Try it in macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, throw it in with spaghettios! The options are endless. And have fun putting extra nutrition in your kids(and adults) food! :) -- posted by Sharon123

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~
