Vegetarian/Vegan recipies (mystic, choice)

I'm going to be a master chef after all of this! I'm not a big cook, so I'm learning as I go along, but now with all these tasty recipes, I'll be amazing in no time! Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming!

Original style Boca Burgers are vegan but indistinguishable from regular hamburgers.
Do you have Boca-Burgers in Montreal?

Here's one they'll love! Heck, it's one of my favorites It tastes great and takes about two minutes to make:

You need a tortilla (I use wheat, but corn or any other kind works just as well), peanut butter, a banana, and about a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses. Be sure to use blackstrap and not regular molasses... blackstrap has more iron in it.

Spread the peanut butter on the tortilla, cut up banana slices and put it on there, then drizzle a teaspoon of the molasses... and that's it! It's got protein from the peanut butter, iron from the blackstrap molasses, and various goodies from the wheat.

Ooooh, thank you Jensa, I can just see the kiddies digging into that. I might just try that one tonight.

I have no idea. I'll definitely look into though. The veggie burgers I usually buy aren't that great, haha.


Alright, so I guess it's time for me to post a recipe, since everyone else has done it for me. This is one of my all time favorite meals. I make it for the family at least once a week.

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (Mmmm... I'm drooling just thinking about them).

6 medium green peppers
2 cups cooked rice
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 cup chopped onion
1 small can tomatoes
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup bread crumbs (I know some people who use Wheat Germ instead here)
1 1/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese



Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove and discard seeds. Dice the tops, discarding the stems, and mix all ingredients, but save 1/2 cup of cheese.

Stuff the peppers and place them in a round microwave casserole. Put extra filling around the peppers. They should fit tightly. Cover with plastic wrap, piercing 4-5 times for vents.

Microwave on High for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes then serve.

All of the recipes I've posted in this section of the forum are vegetarian. I recommend Booko's roasted veggies recipe too, I don't think there's a kid alive who wouldn't eat that!

A quick sandwich can be made by finely chopping different vegetables…I use avocado, sweet pepper, carrots, onions, tomato (I peel off the skins), cucumber and shredded lettuce. I chop the vegetables to a size similar to the vegetables in Chinese fried rice. I add salt to taste and some olive oil. I toss everything and eat with whole wheat bread. The avocado gives the sandwich the most flavour. However, you can try it without avocado if you don’t have any, or you can use cheese instead. If you eat cheese, buy the rennet free type. Rennet is something taken from the cow’s stomach to help cure the cheese. You can use any variety of vegetables you like, just add salt and olive oil and toss. I sometimes add hot pepper. You can too if you like pepper. It’s very healthy because it’s raw food (excluding the bread of course).

How about falafels? They're another big hit at our house when we have them every now and then.

I haven't made them much lately, but I may make some for this Friday's holy day. We're doing "heavy hors d'ourvres" so falafel would be good for that. And I can't think of any food allergy triggers in them either. Hurrah!

Oh, re: your veggie latke recipe...have you ever tried them with sweet potato instead of Irish potato? Would that work, do you think? Potatos are something I'm supposed to avoid, along with the other "white" foods like white rice and white sugar.

Falafels are a little more involved, but they do really well with a vegan style tahini-lemon sauce in pocket breads. And, they are so economical, tasty, and healthy (depending on if they're deep-fried or baked).

<<wonders what a non-vegan tahini-lemon sauce would look like>>

Do you make your falafels starting with chickpea flour, or do you go the whole route having to soak the chickpeas overnight, cook them, etc...?
