your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
so, we are not veggie/vegan, and are currently not making any plans to become so however, we are trying to limit our meat consumption (for both health & ethical reasons) by halving out our recipes- half with meat, half without. i've found some yummy veggie/vegan fare, and also some really stuff. SO, i would love to pick your brains....i'm not asking a lot, just post your #1 favorite recipe....i figure if everyone does that, i'll have quite a repertoire
and just, to be fair, here is my current favorite, courtesy of sara : http://happyfoody.blogspot.com/2006/...pple-soup.html |

Re: your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
My favorite dinner is:
rice, black beans, corn, salsa, onions, (sometimes sauteed onions and peppers) lettuce when we have it, LOL (even though we're vegan, I don't always have lettuce, ) basically just mexican stuff sans meat The kids like gardenburger and fries, and gardenburger riblets. |

Re: your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
It's so hard to pick one favourite. There are so many delicious recipes, my favourite is different all the time. I really love this one at the moment, because it's simple to put together and pretty tasty too. This is my variation of "Eternal Soup" from Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon...
Place the following ingredients in a crockpot: - 3 cups assorted beans (cooked), lentils or split peas (dry) I usually do 2 cups of lentils/split peas to 1 cup of cooked beans - 1 cup good quality vegetable stock - 3-4 cups mixed vegetables, fresh or frozen - ½-1 cup of "something tomatoey" (diced tomatoes, salsa, pasta sauce) Add boiling water to cover. Turn crockpot on high, simmer for as long as it takes to cook everything, anywhere between 2 and 6 hours. I love this recipe because I can throw everything in the crockpot at lunch time, and know that dinner will be ready when DH gets home. Served with some crusty bread, it's delicious! Oh yeah, the "Eternal" part of the recipe is that you eat what you want today, then tomorrow plug the crockpot back in, top up with some more beans/veggies/water and cook again. But ours never makes it past the first day! |

Re: your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
I'm really nervous about posting a "vegan" recipe on here because we're not really vegan and I'm still learning so much by reading this board. I'm afraid that my "favorite vegan" dish will end up being not vegan somehow. Like someone will say, "Um Teacher, didn't you know that canned tomato paste has meat product in it." So if I make a mistake, someone please let me know.
This has been one of my family favorites for years. I found it in my grandmother's recipe books after she passed away. If you read the ingredients it sounds like it would taste terrible (peanut butter and tomato paste ), but it's really yummy and very addictive--the accompaniments listed at the end add that special touch (I especially like the coconut and peanuts on top). Anyway, it usually calls for chicken broth and chicken but I changed it up and used vegetable broth and no meat and it was just as good, if not better!!!! Gold Coast Stew 2 Green Peppers cut into rings -- we used Yellow Peppers, mmmm... 1 Medium Onion; sliced & separated into rings 2 tablespoon Shortening -- I used coconut oil instead 1 can Tomato Paste; (6 oz.) ¾ cup Peanut Butter 3 cup Vegetable Broth 1 ½ teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Chili powder -- we used 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper tonight, mmmm... 1 teaspoon Sugar -- we used honey but I know many here probably don't do honey, right? ½ teaspoon Nutmeg 6 cup Rice; cooked -- we used brown rice since it's whole grain Accompaniments: eggplant slices, sauteed banana, peanuts, shredded coconut, pineapple chunks, onion, and tomato In a large skillet, cook and stir peppers & onion in shortening until onion is tender. Drain off oil. In a medium bowl, blend tomato paste and peanut butter. Stir in broth & seasonings. Add broth mixture to skillet with onion & peppers and cook and stir over low heat until heated through. If the stew is too thick, stir in additional broth. Serve over rice and sprinkle on your choice of accompaniments. Makes 8 servings. ACCOMPANIMENTS: Chopped green pepper; shredded coconut; coarsely ground or chopped peanuts; sauteed bananas or plantains; onion, tomato and eggplant slices; pineapple cubes. Original Recipe (before I messed with it) was from the old Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library found in my grandmother's cupboard. |

Re: your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
This has been a hit at every gathering we've ever taken it to.
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broccol...ws/Detail.aspx We use Earth Balance instead of butter, Bragg's liquid aminos instead of soy sauce and raw, unsalted cashews instead of cooked salted ones because they absorb the flavor of the sauce better and it cuts down on the sodium content.

Re: your absolute FAVORITE veggie/vegan recipe
My absolute favorite is potato pancakes aka latkes. They are fattening especially being fried in oil, but oh so good! I'm making them for dinner tonight! They are Rabbit's favorite too. We usually have applesauce with them. If you want the recipe, let me know and I'll pm you. I don't even follow a set recipe anymore, just throw the ingredients together. It does have 1 egg in it though.
