Please provide recipe ideas for a really tasty and exciting vegetarian lunch?!
I'd like to invite my brother and his wife over!. They are both vegetarians!. I don't have a food processor!. Ideally I want something reasonably easy and simple but impressive and tasty - doesn't have to be all that simple because I like cooking!. Ideas for desserts would be greatly appreciated too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
make falaffel! its delicious and pretty simple to make!. you can buy the mix in a box and follow the very simple directions!. something non-vegetarians will enjoy also!. you fry the falaffel patties (or balls, whichever you prefer) and put them in a pita with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and tahini sauce - a simple dressing that also yummy and easy to make!. and for dessert, seven layer bars!. get crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, a can of condensed milk and walnuts!. put about 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9x9 baking pan and melt it in a 350 degree preheating oven!. then layer the graham crackers down first to make a crust, then layer coconuts, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and walnuts!. then drizzle the condensed milk over the entire thing to seal it all together, and bake for about 20-30 minutes!.!.!. until the coconut starts to lightly brown!. my mouth is watering!.!. whens lunch!? can i come!?!Www@FoodAQ@Com
