What do you put in yours? I don't like mushrooms but I'm open to pretty much anything else. Always looking for other protein sources as well. Been eating a lot of nuts and seeds, dairy and eggs for now.

Re: Best veggie recipes
I haven't made chili in forever, but stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, lots of Mexican spices, and usually red kidney beans. I actually have a couple yummy things to post in this thread. I will get to it at some point for sure. (I hate mushrooms, too! )

I'll have to see if I can find that brand here, but kiddo and I both enjoy the plant-based burgers the best out of any non-meats for sure.

Re: Best veggie recipes
I finally tried paneer at the Indian place, cant say I was a fan of the texture of large cubes in this spinach/mint sauce. Does frying it change the texture to something more palatable?

Frying/browning cheese always makes it better. No one wants a pizza that's lacking brown bubbles.

Re: Best veggie recipes
I'm gonna give you the recipe for my Grandpa Kirill's recipe for Okrashka, a summer soup that is served cold. It typically has chopped ham in it, but I'll omit that for your vegetarian issues.
Okrashka
8 cups of cold water
one-third cup of sour cream
three and a half tablespoons of vinegar
two and a half teaspoons of salt
3 cooked potatoes (yukon gold is best, but any are okay), peeled and diced
3 hard-boiled eggs, diced
3 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill
one-half cup of green onion, finely chopped
one-half pound of ham, diced
3 cucumbers, diced
1. Put the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and bring this to a boil, then continue boiling until the potatoes are cooked soft. It should take like 10 minutes.
2. Find a garbage can and throw the cucumbers and onions directly into it because gross.
3. Put the eggs, potatoes and dill into another pot.
4. Mix the sour cream, salt, 8 cups of cold water, and the rest of the vinegar together in a bowl.
5. Pour that mixture into the pot with the potatoes. Mix it up and enjoy.
If you can find kefir where you live (it's sort of a drinkable yogurt-type thing), substitute it for the sour cream and your okrashka will be even better. Just make sure you use the plain kind, not the kinds with fruit or chocolate or anything.
Also, feel free to add shredded carrots for a little crunch. I've heard of people adding shredded turnips as well, but I've never tried it that way.

Re: Best veggie recipes
^^ this almost sounds like potato salad. I'm glad you mentioned throwing away the cucumber because I fully agree!
I made a shepherds pie last night with mashed potato and butternut squash for the top layer, then fake ground beef, hemp hearts, frozen mixed veggies, broccoli and spinach for the "meat" layer. It was very tasty and you cant even tell it was vegetarian (almost vegan other than the milk in the mashed potatoes).

How is it not? Cottage pie would be made the exact same way except I added more veggies. Sorry the American fatass diet is so anti-vegetable.Biker wrote: ↑

Re: Best veggie recipes
In a recipe with like 10 things, using fake meat invalidates the entire thing? I make lasagna with the fake meat too, does that need a new name as well??

Re: Best veggie recipes
Have you tried the fake ground beef? Its literally identical to the real thing in every one of those categories.
Look, man. I'm trying new things for meals but I also have to adapt some old things I already know how to cook. It's hard to teach this old dog new tricks.

I've made this dish with Beyond and it turned out great. Only alterations I made was I replaced the tomato paste with Gochjang and doubled the mushrooms

Okay, it is most certainly not the same. I tried to go veg for like a year, and impossible meat made a good substitute but it noticably NOT the same. I like the burgers but they have to be loaded up with other things.JCW wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:29 pmHave you tried the fake ground beef?

Morningstar fake chicken is the shit though. Love their patties and nuggets, they taste like cafeteria chicken nuggets but without being made of pink slime.

Re: Best veggie recipes
So far all chicken and pork replacements I've tried are garbage. I tried tempeh bacon last week and it was 10 shades of awful. Beef seems to be the only thing that can be a passable fake.
