Potato & Chickpea Curry With Rice (Dutch Oven)

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:29:36 -0400

For the full Indian curry experience, serve this dish with warmed naan ( we use Recipe #258001), sliced green onion, and a bowl of spicy chutney.

Vegan Unrolled Cabbage Rolls

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:10:11 -0400

From Vegan Vittles by Joanne Stepaniak. This is a tasty, simple and hearty dish. I didn't have quick cooking brown rice and just used cooked brown rice instead- about a cup and a half- and it turned out just fine. I also doubled the tomato sauce because I wanted to use it up and it was delicious. You can definately play with this recipe. I may add some ground not meat next time. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Savoury Chickpea Onion Biscuits

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:15:36 -0400

Gluten-free, sugar-free, corn-free, soy-free, vegan! I was on a crazy diet and sharing my food with friends who have allergies, so I developed these. The rice and chickpea combination makes a complete balance of essential amino acids, so it's good vegan food too. Oh, and they taste awesome. I like brown rice flour, but you could easily substitute white rice flour. I love onions, but you could use less or omit this ingredient entirely if you don't share my enthusiasm. Sometimes I also add garlic for good measure. They are best hot out of the oven, but do okay cooled. I've also tried freezing these with good luck - making a double-batch on the weekend and bagging them 2-3 at a time for use during the week. -- posted by wormwood

Japanese-Style Rice Salad

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:53:37 -0400

Found several interesting looking rice salads in the NY Times on July 30, 2008 by Mark Bittman (the minimalist). He says rice salads are among the few salads that don't deteriorate after the dressing is added, so they can be dressed minutes or hours ahead. He recommends that you cook the rice a bit in advance, and dress it before it gets too cold. He also recommends that you cook the rice like a pasta, in abundant salted water (for between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the rice) and then drain it and dress it when the rice is cool enough to handle. Cooking time is for white rice. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Curried Chickpeas over Rice

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:33:00 -0500

This is a wonderful way to serve garbanzo beans, AKA chickpeas. This dish has a rich tomato-cream sauce with a Caribbean flare. Serve with mildly flavored veggies. Fry very ripe plantains and add to you meal for a wonderful sweet and salty combo. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stove by mixing the rice and curried chickpeas, or reheat in toaster oven or microwave. Special Notes: Use soymilk or coconut milk if you are unable to find coconut cream. Beware - "cream of coconut" is sweet, and should not be used in this dish. -- posted by Chef Ri

Even if your aren't a vegetarian (and I am not totally either) it is good recipe and tastes good. I added the green pepper, celery and green chilies to the recipe as my family likes those things in pretty much anything I cook. But if you don't like any or all of them, you can omit them because they weren't in the original recipe. Prep time did not include cooking the brown rice beforehand. -- posted by OceanLuvinGranny

Baked Mexican Brown Rice

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:47:54 -0400

Mexican rice that's vegan, lowfat, and made with healthier brown rice. Not too spicy so this would make a nice side to a variety of meals, not just Tex-Mex. Would be nice served with black beans. From www.wholefoodsmarket.com. -- posted by LonghornMama

Nutty Vegetable Rice Casserole

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:11:34 -0400

This sticks to the ribs! A hearty one-dish meal with comforting flavour and lots of good protein and vitamins. An excellent meal if you want something that fills you up like a meat dish, but is not a meat dish. -- posted by Elise and family

Greek Stuffed Tomatoes With Rice or Domates Yemistes

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:39:54 -0400

This is wonderful recipe I got a from a Greek church cookbook from Tucson, Arizona. They are wonderful hot or col, the day you make them or the next day for lunch. I usually make them to go with a lamb roast and then have the leftovers for lunch the next day. You won't be disappointed! -- posted by hollygollygee

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

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Mexican Green Rice (Vegan)

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:04:11 -0400

A colorful dish I had fun making, from a Mexican cookbook that I altered to my liking by using healthier vegan-friendly ingredients. I served it with steamed black beans and ate on tortillas with monterey jack cheese. Yummy! -- posted by the80srule

Seitanic Red and White Bean Jambalaya

From the Veganomicon. If using fresh thyme, add the whole sprigs to the rice before baking. The leaves will fall off during baking and the stems can then be removed before serving. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

These are so cute! I think they'd be really cool for a baby shower since pregnant ladies aren't supposed to eat sushi! From http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2008/11/17/fruit-sushi/ -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

Vegan Tex Mex Rice

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:58:14 -0500

I got this out of a Mexican cookbook except I made it vegan, and simplified it as well. I found that I had to add a little extra cayenne after it was done cooking, but then again I have a higher spice hotness threshold than most :) -- posted by the80srule

Wild Rice, Apple and Hazelnut Stuffing

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:21:13 -0500

I made this last year for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Fresh sage and tart apples make this a little different and definitely give it a harvest taste.I substituted walnuts for the hazelnuts. Leaving the peel on the apple gives the stuffing some more color. -- posted by Chef #1120064

Rice and Black Beans With Peppers and Garlic

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

I usually add ukranian sausage to this, but it also works well with leftover chicken or any type of sausage. It's also good without any meat as a vegetarian dish or as a side. -- posted by Lady Bathory
