Vegetarian Recipes

I make veggie sloppy joes frequently, and the leftovers freeze well for another meal.

One onion, diced finely
Ond red or yellow pepper, seeded and diced finely
Two zucchini, diced finely
Two cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Two teaspoons olive oil
Saute above until veggies are soft.
Add 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, a dash of liquid smoke, black pepper to taste, 1 T brown sugar, 1/4 cup cider vinegar. Taste and correct seasonings. Simmer for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add two cups cooked drained lentils and one package of Morningstar crumbles. Simmer until hot.
Serve on hamburger buns with french fries and homemade coleslaw - YUMMY!

Hummus.


HUMMUS

2 cans (15.5 ounces each) chickpeas
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt


Reserving 1/4 cup liquid, rinse and drain 2 cans chickpeas. Place chickpeas and reserved liquid in a food processor. Add 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup tahini, well stirred, 2 garlic cloves, chopped, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt. Process until smooth.

Good basic recipe, but: didja fergit the olive oil? I like/make hummus, too, and consider good olive oil an essential addition!

I saute' veggies and put them over past of any kind and add some FRESH
parmesion or percorino/romano cheese over it.

The Mexican casserole can also be made into individual burritos. I make a similar dish and do burritos and make fresh guacamole for the top along with salsa.

Mac & cheese and add broccoli chopped up (annies is good brand).

grilled zucchini, eggplant, peppers...over pasta.

Shish kabobs without the meat.

Thanks for the hummus recipe--I love hummus, so I will definitely try this instead of "store bought"!

If you can't find tahini you can sub creamy peanut butter..tastes the same. I've made lots without either and it's still great tasting.

Hummus is great. You can make with Cannelini beans instead of chick peas.
You can make sandwiches with it too with sliced tomatoes onions cukes etc.
I tell people it is bean dip.

Tabbouleh is another good side

Pesto too. You can sub Arugala for Basil and almonds for Pine nuts.

Hummus.

It is SO easy to make in an RV and you can add just about any spice or flavor to it. Makes a great dip and just happens to be healthy. I make it for pot luck campfire dinners and they devour it and half the time don't even know what it is!!:W

Add garlic, hot sauce, chile sauce, roasted red pepper, you name it.

And for the nay sayers, home made hummus tastes NOTHING like the crummy chemical ridden store bought kind, it's WAY better.

Packed lunches were a challenge. I pack every day. Low cal vegetable soup and pimiento cheese sandwiches seem to work. I make my own pimento cheese with good cheese, mayo and canned pimientos or olives chopped and green chilis.

hbillsmith, I am printing your recipe and trying it ASAP! It sounds delicious!

Thanks for all the suggestions so far--I'm making a list.

Isn't "Vegetarian" an old Latin word for lousy hunter? Actually, I love veggies and often make a meal of them.
James Peterson has a couple of good books out. "Fish and Shellfish" and "Vegetables". Info on the varieties as well as beginner and advanced recipes. Kind of a meatless "Joy of Cooking".
