Okra in Tomato Sauce
Do not cut off too much of the stem end; if you do, the okra collapses and the gooey seeds come out.
ingredients
* 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 large onions, thinly sliced
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 pounds small okra (see Note), trimmed
* One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
* 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* Salt and freshly ground pepper
* 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the onions and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the okra and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until well coated with the flavorings, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, lemon juice and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the sauce is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Vegetarian burger patty. Soak dry beans overnight. Put in blender with onion garlic and salt. Put in bowl. Mix with flour to make a patty. Fry until brown.
Vegetarian Magazine has great recipes. I admit I do eat meats in a limited quantity. Bean soups and brown rice are great and also lentils and barley are great too. Just soak the beans for 4 to 8 hours before cooking. Or you set a crockpot on medium and have supper within 8 hours. Just season to taste and a little olive oil will help with flavor and avoid sticking. Make sure you get home in time.
check for a magazine called "vegetarian times" I used to get it and it was so valuable..so many wonderful stories and information about where to get foods you need and places to eat...who specialize in vegan eating. Plus many great recipes..you might try and do a yahoo search for it on the internet...good luck and happy healthy eating!

1 egg
125g/4oz plain flour
150ml/5fl oz water
pinch of salt
olive oil for frying
1 aubergine, thinly sliced
300ml/10fl oz tomato passata

3. Take each aubergine slice, dip in the batter then fry until golden and crispy on both sides. Arrange on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
4. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
5. Pour some of the passata into an ovenproof dish to cover the bottom.
6. Cover this in a layer of aubergine, then another layer of passata.
7. Next, layer a sprinkling of pecorino cheese, basil, mozzarella and seasoning to taste.
8. Continue layering in this fashion, finishing with a layer of aubergine, passata and pecorino. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
If you don't eat eggs or if you don't want to fry them, you can grill aubergines after having floured them.
