I have two dishes for veggies that i used to give to my meat eating friends(before i became vegan) and they all loved it!
Coronation chicken(quorn pieces)
For 4 people as a main dish use 2 bags of quorn, that makes plenty!
2 bags of quorn chicken pieces
1 very large jar of mayonnaise
2 teaspoons of curry powder
2 serving spoons of mango chutney
1 desert spoon of lemon juice
A good handful of sultanas!.
Cook the Quorn and leave to cool, mix all the other ingredients together in a bowl thoroughly and then add the Quorn!. Garnish with fresh coriander!.
Serve with wholemeal pasta or wild rice, a large crispy salad, poppadoms and maybe onion bhaji!.
Or Roasted vegetable lasagna
Roast red onion, courgette, mixed bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, all cut into chunks!. Drizzle oil infused with crushed garlic and roast on high for about 40 minutes!.
make a white sauce, and then layer with lasagna, vegetables and sauce, top with grated cheese and sliced tomatoes, and bake in the oven(medium heat) for about 30 minutes!.
Serve with either veg or salad and crusty bread!Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about a chili!? Really easy, just throw the ingredients in and you're done!. I use: any type of bean, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, peas, lentils, tinned tomatoes and tomato puree!. To spice I use flaked chillies (NOT powder, as it makes everything hot!), ginger powder and sometimes paprika!. You can put herbs in as well!. Make sure the beans are cooked before you add them to the chili!. If using kidney or any type of red or black beans from dry, make sure you cook them properly (boil for 15 mins at start of cooking and change the water to cook for 1-2 hours) as they are toxic if not cooked properly!. Then just put all the stuff in a pot cook until the liquid is reduced and it's chili consistency! I like to add tvp as well - when rehydrating put with some soy sauce to make it taste 'meatier'!. Have fun!Www@FoodAQ@Com
