What are some simple vegetarian meals?
I just need some ideas for some basic and simple vegetarian meals, because I am running out of ideas!
Answers:
Tofu Stir Fry and Veggies - with homemade teriyaki sauce
Sweet and Sour Tofu
Bean burritos
Tofu Lasagne
Spaghetti squash and homemade marinara sauce
Breakfast burritos (scrambled tofu, zucchini, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, yellow squash, fresh garlic in whole wheat tortillas with avocado, salsa, tomatoes, onions, lettuce...yum!) - heat up a tablespoon of oil in a pan, start with the tofu. When that starts to brown add in a tad bit more oil, and then add in onions and garlic. After about 5 mins, add in rest of veggies...cook for about another 5 mins or so....or until veggies look done but not mushy. Oh, and add in some spices - oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.
"Mexican" casserole - use corn chips for the crust (unless you can find a vegan/veggie corn tortilla). I first mix in garlic powder and Italian spices in the beans, with a little bit of jalapeno juice in a pan on low heat before making the layers....Make layers of chips or tortillas, enchilada sauce, beans, onions, bell peppers if you like in that order...make at least 2-3 layers of each, and top off with chips/tortillas and sauce. Bake at 350 for about 25 mins. Serve with jalapenos.
Tofu sandwiches...two ways, either slice up the tofu and brown in a pan then put on bread with tomatoes and lettuce and sprouts....
Or, cook one brick of tofu in a pan scrambled style, adding in finely chopped mushrooms and onions...spice with garlic and black pepper....while that is cooking, put an avocado in a food processor and mix with Sriracha sauce (tad bit as is spicy),1/2 tablespoon of olive oil (or if you prefer vegan mayo), 1/2 tablespoon mustard, pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. I will also add 1/2 tablespoon jalapeno juice or sweet pickle juice. Blend until creamy. When tofu/mushroom/onion mixture is done, I mix with the avocado blend. Chill. Serve on bread with fresh tomatoes and crisp lettuce.
