Can anyone give me any recipes for making vegetables tasty? But not fattening?
Answers:
Here's a recipe. Grab some lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and olives, and lay them all on a slice of bread. Add condiments to taste. Then add a half-inch-thick juicy, flamed broiled hamburger patty (95% lean, of course), and finally, another slice of bread. And, there you have it, a hamburger! (I hope you know I'm only joking. I hate to admit it, by I do seem to be one lousy cook!)
Garlic & salt are a good staple, and very versatile. Also, lots of marinades are super tasty and if you look you can find low fat varieties. But don't shy away from using olive oil to taste; your body needs (good) fats to function properly!
In my Biggest Loser cookbook there is a recipe for cauliflower that is yummy. Toss fresh florets with olive oil, garlic powder and pepper, a little parmesan cheese and fresh parsley and bake. It's really good.
Veggie stir fry - you really don't need that much oil (and remember you have to have some fat in your diet anyway)
Steam them lightly (maybe 3 or 4 minutes) then serve drizzled with soy sauce, and with some pumpkin seeds and pine kernels over the top.
Mixed roasted vegetables - you can even dry roast them (no oil). Just Google "roasted vegetables" for loads of recipes.
I guess it all depends how much you already like the taste of vegetables! Personally I adore all of them, raw, steamed, roasted, stewed, in soup, you name it. Can't get enough of them. I'll happily just steam a pan of broccoli, courgette, red peppers, sweetcorn, peas and mushrooms for 4 minutes, sprinkle with pepper and eat like that.
Also, take a look at the Vegetarian Society website for more ideas.
Grill them and then add any herbs or spices that you like.
Raw is best. Stir fried or steamed if you must cook them.
Steam them, and then add garlic and tamari. Grill them on skewers and baste them with a teriyaki sauce.
emsr2s2 pretty much covered it all
There are lots of ideas on this website : http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk...
Emsr really did do a good job but missed something *really* easy. Most any real health food store will carry a vegan friendly seasoning powder called Spike. Get a bottle or the (irritating
When steaming veggies, I add seasoning to the water, lemon juice, garlic, whatever. It infuses the veggies and enhances flavor, instead of covering it up.I prefer not to put anything directly on my veggies. And I am not a vegetarian, just REALLY like my veg this way.
