Do you know recipes for tasty vegan/vegetarian meals?
Does anyone know a good website that has recipes for tasty vegan/vegetarian meals? Or do you yourself know of something tasty?! I'm having some good friends over for dinner, and they're both vegetarians. I'd like to make something good for them!!
Thanks!
Answers:
This website's really good for veggie recipes. I like it cause you can search based on ingredient or category, and people leave reviews and ratings on all the recipes, so you can pick out the good ones.
Also, here's a recipe I love for when I'm trying to impress:
Roasted Tempeh with Dijon Sauce
1 lb tempeh, cut into 4 portions
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 bay leaves
2 T finely chopped rosemary or thyme (whatever herbs you want, really)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1) Bring a medium pot of water to boil and boil tempeh for about 10 minutes.
2) Mix together the rest of the ingredients.
3) Put tempeh in a baking pan and pour the liquid on top. Bake uncovered for 30-40 mins at 350 F (180 C) turning over halfway through. Remove from oven and let the tempeh sit to soak up some of the liquid.
4) When it's time to serve it, pour the excess liquid out, reheat in the oven until slightly brown on the edges (10 mins or so).
Dijon Sauce:
1/2 cup grainy Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy milk
2 T Maple syrup
2 T brown rice syrup (you can just use extra maple)
1 t orange zest (optional)
1) Mix together all the ingredients in a small saucepan.
2) Put over medium heat and bring to a simmer
3) Cook for 20 mins, until slightly thickened, stirring often.
4) Serve over tempeh (I like serving it on the side, as some people find the sauce is quite strong--vegetarian gravy would be nice as well, but the Dijon sauce gives a nice contrast.)
* Add soy milk to the sauce last and slowly to avoid curdling.
I LOVE this served on a bed of quinoa or rice pilaf with some steamed broccoli and sauteed mushrooms. It presents really well, and most people like tempeh, even if they're not used to it.

I just made some vegan meatless chili last night. At least I think that it was vegan (check your taco seasoning to see if it is listed as vegan).
Ok, here goes...
2 tbsp olive oil
one medium onion, chopped
one medium to large green pepper, chopped (you can also add/use red or yellow bell pepper - I just like the green)
2 big cans of diced tomatoes in juice
1 and 1/2 packets of taco seasoning (to taste)
chili powder (to taste)
16 oz can of kidney beans
16 oz can of corn
Put the oil into a pan, add the onion and green pepper. Cook them until the onion starts to turn clear - but not brown. Add tomatoes, taco seasoning, kidney beans, and corn. Simmer together for about 15 minutes.
I generally serve this dish over rice.
Good luck!
