I have officially finished the last bit of animal flesh in my house (I always seem to have frozen meat of some sort since i llive alone and cook for one).

Now that I have cleaned the freezer out, I want to go on a bit of a meat fast. There's a few dishes that I want to try cooking, but I am overwhelmed with the different recipes online. So, I want the food board to help me and point me towards any recipes they have tried and love for the following dishes.

meatless chili
aloo gobi (indian potatoe and califlower
hummus
lentil soups (or other soups with legumes)
anything with eggplant
vegan soups w squashes and coconut milk

Over the last few months, Ive cut back on meat. I will never live the life of a vegan or vegetarian, but I do want to cook more meatless dishes. feel free to post anything. Ive been gleaning a lot of dishes, but i just havent found any recipes i like for the dishes above.

hummus


2 cans of chick peas (only drain water from one)
Lemon Juice, really a 'to taste' sort of thing
1 tablespoon of Tahini (key ingredient)
Olive Oil
Garlic (optional but I love it)
Salt

Throw it beans and tahini in blender. Slowly add Olive oil until you get a decent consistency. Add lemon juice and season to taste. Let chill for an hour or two in the fridge. Serve with warm pita bread.

Just had a Lebanese cooking class last night. Highly recommend tabbouleh and grape leaves. You can put ground lamb in the grape leaves when your resolve weakens.

I LOVE grilled portabello in the place of meat.

Whole Foods has this sandwich that is portabello, goat cheese, pesto, and roasted red peppers. Whatever bread they use is outstanding as well.

I could become a vegetarian in a heartbeat if I tried. I rarely eat meat.

If I didn't have to feed a husband, I would eat mostly veggies with some poultry.

Pastas with tomatoes and mushroom
Salads-lots of salads with sensation dressing.
Roasted tomato soup with grilled cheese
Any and every kind of roasted veggie
Veggie fajitas
Pitas turned Into pizzas-I eat these for lunch alot
Kabobs with veggies
Brushetta-with tomato but also other non traditional kinds
Roasted eggplant with mariners
Summer squash and cheese soup


Spel check acting up but u get the idea.

I've made this with the girlfriend a couple times

Sweet potato burritos

the bean recipe is awesome if you sub black beans... I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, and I'd rather just have bean burritos with that

I agree, but it requires an effort.

Lentil soup is easy, the beans don't need to be soaked at all. Finely dice one onion, one stick of celery, one carrot, saute in a bit of olive oil til translucent, add two quarts of veggie stock, then the lentils, season withItalian seasoning, salt and pepper, and chopped fresh basil. about thirty or so minutes of simmer, after the boil will do, might need a bit more water but you will see that as you cook it.


Eggplant, search for a recipe for ratatouille for one way. Another idea is to try a vegetarian moussaka, or just pan fry it in olive oil.


Vegan soups, what kind of swuash do you want to use?

eggplant parmesan. Start with a very good meatless red tomato sauce (homemade is preferred). Pan fry the bread crumb coated eggplant in olive oil or roast without the bread crumbs in the oven. layer eggplant, sauce and parmesan or mozzarella cheese over pasta (or eliminate pasta for lower carbs).

Grilled Portobello Quinoalaya:

Grill 3-4(depending on size) portobello mushroom caps and set aside. In a black iron pot, saute' trinity(onion/celery/bell pepper) until clear, cut shrooms in to bite-sized cubes and add to pot. Season with Tony's/SlapYoMama. Add 3 cups washed quinoa and 6 cups veggie stock. Bring to simmer and cover. It's done when all liquid is absorbed by the quinoa. Fold in some green onions and let sit for 15 mins then eat.
