Can you pass along any quick and easy vegetarian recipes?

I was just leafing through "Vegetarian Times," and it hit me: I don't cook that many meatless meals because there's too much prep and too many ingredients. My family enjoys stir- fried tofu -- but that's getting old. I'd like to add to my limited vegetarian repetoire.



I appreciate your suggestions!Can you pass along any quick and easy vegetarian recipes?
Burrito Bowl

1. Make white or brown rice.

2. Fry black beans and corn together with chili powder, cumin, turmeric, crushed black pepper, and onion to taste. Por this onto the rice.

3. Top with your favorite salsa, along with cheese and lettuce if you'd prefer.





My Favorite Stir Fry

1. Fry broccoli florets and sliced carrots in garlic butter until tender. (Or 1 tbs water and minced garlic if you're watching your weight.)

2. Add baby corn spears and your favorite stir fry sauce. (I prefer House of Tsang Classic.)

3. Meanwhile, make udon or soba noodles, egg noodles, or rice.

4. Add stir fry noodles/rice to stir fry and toss to coat.

5. Top with peanuts and enjoy.





Mediterranean Wraps (or Pita Pockets)

1. Gather a few of your favorite Mediterranean (peppers, squashes, snow peas, potatoes, garlic, onions, etc). Wash and slice them.

2. Put them in a container and add olive oil and Italian seasonings. (I just buy an Italian seasonings grinder, but feel free to improvise.) Toss to coat. Bake, covered, at 350 until tender. The timing depends on what veggies you choose, but it should be between 20 and 45 minutes.

3. Remove from oven and put in wraps, pitas, or serve with spaghetti and garlic bread.





Veggie Chili

1. Heat either tomato juice or chunky style tomato sauce, depending on how thick you want your chili.

2. Add beans and select veggies (frozen bags of veggie soup veggies work well). Optional: add tempeh or TVP ground beef replacer.

3. Add chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and any other spices you'd like.

4. Simmer and serve with corn bread, on fries, or on tofu dogs.





Rice Pilaf

1. Prepare vegetarian friendly rice pilaf. (I use Near East.)

2. Steam broccoli, and tofu if you'd like.

3. Combine, and top with slivered almonds or pine nuts if you're feeling fancy.





A Vegetarian's Steak Dinner

1. Grill or sautee a portabella mushroom cap with minced garlic, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and soy sauce.

2. Serve with a baked potato and green vegetables.





For a super-light dinner . . .

1. Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. Add baby spinach.

2. Toss with fresh lemon juice and fresh basil. Serve fresh.

OR

2. Toss with olive oil, garlic crushed black pepper. Bake at 350 until warm.

3. Serve with whole wheat toast and avocado slices.

I make a really good, cheap and easy tofu stir fry



Buy a block of Extra Firm Tofu $1.99 at any grocerry store

A bag of frozen 'Stir Fry' Vegetables anywhere from $1.00-2.00

Extra mushrooms (prices vary on whether you buy from farmer's market, organic, etc.)

Kikkoman Stir Fry Sauce $3.00



Cut about 1/4 of the tofu block into domino sized slices and cut as much of the mushrooms of as you want. Heat up some oil in a frying pan (I use coconut oil but olive is fine) and put the mushroom and tofu in to sautee for a little bit. Then add the frozen veggies, some Kikkoman sauce (seasoning salt is a good alternative too) and fry until you feel it's done. :)



Even my meat loving friends like this. You just have to be creative, there are lots of cookbooks and websites with fast, easy and cheap recipes.
My favorite veg food resources:

http://blog.fatfreevegan.com [has a lot of easy and tasty recipes; smoky refried bean soup is quick and really tasty]

http://101cookbooks.com [the TLT sandwich is delicious; veg curry (I leave out the tofu) is good too]

http://vegweb.com [giant veg*n recipe database; orange tofu or general tso's is good]



Veganomicon [Snobby joes, really easy and tasty; some of the salads with grains are delicious and simple]

Vegetarian Sandwiches [I really like the Greek salad wrap]



Easy meals I make:

- Veg burritos: grill/roast some veggies (peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, etc.) and combine with black beans, rice, salsa, guac, etc.

- BBQ Pizza: Use BBQ sauce combined with a bit of tomato paste, top with red onions, pineapple, spinach, red pepper, etc.

- Pesto pasta: mmm basil pesto with some pasta cooking water as the sauce. Mix in some sauteed veggies

- Veg chili

- Bean burgers (fat free vegan has a good red bean and chipotle one)
