Vegetarian Substitutes?!
Vegetarian Substitutes?
I don't like anything but red meat. My husband likes chicken, pork, and turkey, etc... which I don't like. It's just the two of us. What could I fix in place of the meat (vegetarian wise) that would meet my nutritional needs? For example, if we had shake-n-bake chicken, stuffing, and a vegetable what could I have instead of the chicken? Thanks.
Answers:
you can use cashew nuts, and heat them lightly by frying...
have mushrooms, egg stir frys, etc,
buy meat free or quorn products, that imitate chicken. i do not lie real chicken, but i htink they are ok, as they have more falour of herbs and stuff!
just experiment...lok up a percticular recipe you want on google
here are some links to meat analog recipes...

Morningstar Farms makes a pretty good beef substitute in their "meal starters" line. It comes in strips, and you can use it for stir-fry and stuff like that. It does fry up in just a moment or two in the pan, and if you add a little red wine, s & p, and olive oil it isn't bad. But it really isn't going to taste like red meat.
I agree with mrthing....MorningStar has really good meat substitutes, and can be found at just about any grocery store/supermarket....they do cost a lot more though...
