Bizzy that curry recipe sounds yum! And really quick. Will have to try it this week.

We're not a vegetarian family but I like to try and do 1-2 vegetarian meals a week. Cost effective and yummy. Will be watching this thread with interest - good tip about the book! ]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:14:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504509&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504509 <![CDATA[Vegetarians - I know you’re out there! : I&#039;m not a vegetarian but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504501&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504501 Author: josephnia

I'm not a vegetarian but like to have at least one meat free day a week. Here are a couple of my favs-

Spanikopita
500gm frozen spinach
1 pkt crumbled feta
250gm lite cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated tasty cheese
1 small finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg
nutmeg and oregano to taste
salt and pepper

Mix altogether. Lay out 4-5 sheets of filo pastry - brush with melted butter or spary with oil between sheets. Roll into a cigar shape. Brush with butter or spray oil. Bake @ 200 c til brown. Serve with tsatziki and rice.

Burritos

Bean Mix-
1 onion diced
1 capsicum diced
2 tins red kidney beans
1 tin 4 bean mix
2 tin chilli beans (the ones in sauce)
1 tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp garlic
salt and pepper

Cook onion, capsicum and garlic. Mash kidney beans and 4 bean mix. Add to onion mix with the rest of the ingredients.

Salsa-

1 onion diced
1 capsicum diced
2 tbsp garlic
2 tins crushed tomatoes
Thai chilli sauce/ chilli powder to taste
salt and pepper

Cook onion, garlic and capsicum. Add rest of the ingredients and simmer.

To assemble-

We make pancakes or you could use packet burritos or wraps, fill with the bean mix, chopped fresh tomato, shredded lettuce and grated cheese. Roll up and put cheese on the top and grill. Top with the salsa and sour cream or Greek yoghurt.

This one is great for people who like meat as well because it's very satisfying and kind of 'meaty' ]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:06:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504501&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504501 <![CDATA[Vegetarians - I know you’re out there! : We are not vegetarian but eat...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504496&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504496 Author: surfergirl

We are not vegetarian but eat vegetarian meals at least three times a week.

We do lots of mexican - I LOVE beans, so beans on rice, burittos, nachos, tacos all with kidney beans or refried beans instead of meat.

Also quiche (from the meals without meat) and salad. Baked potatoes and coleslaw. Stir Fry (with udon noodles or rice).

Then anything pasta - lasagne, canneloni, etc and various 'what have we got in the fridge' with a can of tomatoes! I also like to do pasta with creamy sauce and avoid a few of the calories by using evaporated milk instead of cream. Lots of mushrooms.

I do swear by Meals without Meat tho. It's the best vege cookbook by far!

Yes please, that would be fab!

Stacey - I *love* hokkein noodle or soba noodle stir fries, especially with some delicious marinated tofu thrown in.

Deb - that curry looks delicious, I am definitely going to give it a go!]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:29:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504451&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504451 <![CDATA[Vegetarians - I know you’re out there! : I am a non red meat eater and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504300&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504300 Author: Shorty

hmmmmm easy stuff...

hokkien noodles
mix vege
2 tablespoons of lime juice
2 tablespoons of kecap manis (its like a sweet soy sauce)
nuts (like peanuts or pine nuts)

cook the noodles seperate and then stir fry the whole lot together, takes all of about 10 mins and really yum, we just add as much sauce as we like the taste of.]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:57:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=504007&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#504007 <![CDATA[Vegetarians - I know you’re out there! : I use Alison Holst&#039;s Meals...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=503995&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#503995 Author: caliandjack

Red Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry with Warm Pita Bread

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
1 bay leaf
1 ˝ cups red lentils
Pita bread

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a saucepan or kettle, bring 3 ˝ cups of water to a boil.
2. In a large saucepan over high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, and 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic, curry powder and bay leaf and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the boiling water and stir in the lentils. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the lentils break down and the sweet potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.
4. While the potatoes and lentils are cooking, wrap a stack of pita breads in a slightly damp cotton towel, and place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Serves 4

I'm a vegetarian, and proud of it :-)

If you buy one, I would highly recommend the Veganomicon. It is a vegan cookbook, however the recipes are scrummy, and I have to go back to being a vegan after I have my baby, as my dairy allergy will rear its ugly head again (I don't eat eggs as well).]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:40:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=503977&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#503977 <![CDATA[Vegetarians - I know you’re out there! : Well, I know that at least kebakat...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=503971&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#503971 Author: HippyMama

Well, I know that at least kebakat / Stacey is vegetarian, not sure who else might be lurking ??

I am on the hunt for more vege recipes to expand my repetoire with, although I do like to think I / we have a reasonable variety as is.

So any recipes or dishes that you love and links to these would be greatly appreciated ]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:36:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21293&PID=503971&title=vegetarians-i-know-youre-out-there#503971
