i'll get it started. incredibly good lentil soup recipe: https://cookieandkate.com/best-lentil-soup-recipe/ 

[lemonlime 5503]

Got Plenty recently and have been cooking stuff out of that. Vegetable paella. Green couscous. Black pepper tofu.

The paella and couscous were great. Measurements on the tofu seemed way off but I would try it again with some changes

[Neonmoon 38130]

Thanks for starting this thread. Switched to Pescatarian recently and trying to eat more vegetarian stuff as well. Definitely going to make some of that Lentil soup.

I cut way back on the butter and the pepper already.  But 5 Tbsp black pepper is way too much.  I like heat, but even with half that amount, it was like eating a mouthful of pepper.  Couldn't taste anything else.  I was eyeing this version, with half eggplant/half tofu.  https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/08/black-pepper-tofu-and-eggplant/

Wife made a fantastic soup in the Instant Pot yesterday that we saved for today.

Garlic, onions, red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, white beans, and barley.  Then I add some of this to my bowl.  Cornbread on the side.

[Wiler77 1593]

Made this last week and loved it. Added more vegetables than the recipe called for.  Onions, carrots, and red bell pepper to be exact.

[Wiler77 1593]

Smashed chickpeas and avocados make a great sandwich filling.  I'm having that this week for lunch.

I use canned chickpeas, ripe avocado, dijon mustard, pickled jalapeno juice, squeeze of lime, and some cut up greens or cabbage for crunch.  Sometimes cilantro as well.

Here's a recipe, but I usually just wing it.  You can do it with any bean.

These Indian sauces are really good.  They have several flavors. Cook up some veggies, potatoes, and add some beans with this sauce and you are in business.  Had that one day last week.

[topochico 1049]

Glad you started this. I've been experimenting with some of the instant pot recipes from their book and online. I have also found several of the Gamechangers recipes to be solid.

https://gamechangersmovie.com/recipes/mexican-lentil-soup/

https://gamechangersmovie.com/recipes/mexican-garbanzo-salad/
 

This one is good but way under seasoned. I doubled the balsamic vinegar and added some salt to the veggies as they were being sautéed.

They sell that at Trader Joe's pretty cheap, if I remember correctly. Honestly, my biggest hangup eating this way is all the wonderful sauces that would make life easier (and tastier) usually have ingredients in them that make me spit the bit immediately (Vegetable or Canola Oil, added sugars, etc). There's a couple companies out there that make some sauces that are pretty clean, but not surprisingly they're pretty limited. If it's delicious, chances are I'm shit outta luck. 

I'm curious if this thread goes straight clean, or if it devolves into people using impossible ground meat in things. Coscto recently started selling the premade patties, and at a pretty remarkable discount compared to going to HEB when it deigns to be open. 

[Brisketexan 105779]

I adapted a pretty good recipe from a roasted cauliflower appetizer at North. 

I roast cauliflower and other veggies -- root veggies are good, broccoli works, stuff like that.  Toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and oregano.  Roast till browned and done, serve in a shallow bowl.  Then, fry an egg over easy.  While the egg is cooking, I take a little bit of good caesar salad dressing, squeeze a bit of extra lemon in it, and heat it slightly in the microwave (just to get it slighly warm). 

Top the veggies with the fresh fried egg, drizzle some of the dressing mix over the top, then sprinkle some shaved lemon zest on it.  Pop that egg, and you've got a nice creamy "sauce" with a lemon kick.  It's one of our favorite dinners, and it's super easy.

caesar dressing is my cheat code for veggie/grain bowls i pack for lunch.

Add fresh lemon (and lemon zest -- man, it packs a punch), and a little goes a long way (so, while the dressing ain't so great for you, you can use much less of the actual dressing)

I hear you.  We typically make our own sauces, but for Indian food, it takes so damn long.  And it's a great way to get our kids to eat some vegetables.  Miraculously, they all like curry.  The ingredient list for the Maya Kaimal curries isn't too offensive.

Aim for small dumplings.  Think "small meatballs".  It's much better when they have a chance to cook through.

[Jack Straw 2954]

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon)
• 1 red chile, such as Fresno or serrano, halved, seeds and ribs removed, then minced
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1 (4- to 5-ounce) bag baby spinach
• ½ lime, juiced
•  Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
•  
• In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
• Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.

This was pretty good. Recommend cooking chickpeas down to preferred consistency. I prefer mushy. We also skipped the apricots. Didn’t see the point.

Is anyone else using the Forks Over Knives meal plan? I just moved to plant based this year and it takes a lot of the guess work out of meal planning and shopping. It seems to have a good variety of options so far and the food is tasty (although I frequently bump up the seasoning). Even my family (not plant based) has enjoyed them as side dishes to their main meal.

vegetarian SB snacks

white bean hummus and muhammara

baba ganoush

buffalo cauliflower.  homemade ranch kind of sucked, will probably stick with the packet next time lulz.

will pull and post any of the recipes if anyone wants them.  i made pretty big batches of the dips/spreads and will use the leftovers as the bases for lunches throughout the week.   

the white bean hummus and baba ganoush were both "i don't know if I can buy store bought again" level good.  next time i will make tabbouleh to go with the baba ganoush - that would have gone great with it.

[Jack Straw 2954]

dal makhani - served with Trader Joe's paratha, which are excellent 

 

3/4 cup whole black gram beans (sabat urad)
2 tablespoons adzuki beans or pink beans (choti rajma)
2 tablespoons split chickpeas (chana dal)
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt, whisked
2 cups finely chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes 
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons sunflower or safflower oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Combine the legumes with 4 cups water (I used 2 cups water, 2 cups vegetable broth) in a large saucepan and bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pot; let the legumes soak for 2 hours.

Add the whole-milk yogurt, 1 cup onions, tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, cardamom, paprika, chili and salt to the pot and bring to a boil once more. Cook, partly covered, over low heat for 90 minutes, or until the dal is very soft. Turn off the heat and purée the dal for about 1 minute; it should be saucy but not soupy.

To make the tadka, heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the remaining cup of onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until medium brown. Turn off the heat and stir in the cumin and garam masala.

Transfer the dal to a large bowl and cover with the low-fat yogurt; top with tadka, stir gently and serve.

Would love the hummus recipe. Gotten to the point where I’m eating enough to where homemade just makes fiscal sense

[Jack Straw 2954]

white bean hummus

• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 15-ounce can white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ cup tahini
•  6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
•  Kosher salt
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Pulse the garlic in a food processor until minced. 

Scrape the bowl and add the beans, tahini, lemon juice, coriander, soy and fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until smooth, scraping the bowl occasionally. With the machine running, add the olive oil. Season to taste with salt.

*Notes - this makes very garlicky hummus, which is how i like it.  Original recipe called for 1 garlic clove, I used 4.  The original recipe also called for white miso paste (2 teaspoons) and the soy and fish sauce were my substitutes and that worked great.

^^This was great, making another batch tonight and adding some roasted red peppers

[Jack Straw 2954]

moong dal

• 1 cup moong dal split mung beans, soaked 2 hours in cold water, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons ghee (or vegetable oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 serrano cut lengthwise
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 large shallot, diced
• garam masala
• chile oil
• Put dal, turmeric and salt in a large pot, add 2 cups vegetable broth and 5 cups water and bring to a gentle boil, stirring.
• Turn heat to low and cover pot with lid slightly ajar. Check pot and stir frequently - skim off and discard any foam that rises. Cook for about 45 minutes, until quite soft. Taste and adjust salt. For a smooth, velvety consistency, purée dal in a blender, then return to pot. If you prefer texture, just beat with a whisk for a minute or two. 
• Make the tarka: heat ghee in a small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin, serrano and garlic and cook until cumin is fragrant and garlic is lightly colored, about 1 minute. Add shallot and continue cooking until shallot is softened, about 1 minute more. Pour contents of skillet into pot and stir into the dal.
• Transfer to individual soup bowls. Sprinkle with a pinch of garam masala and red chile powder and serve with basmati rice

It is the sweet counter to the savory.  You could go with red bell pepper or sweet potato instead of apricots but the apricots would be true to Middle East cooking. 

Simmering with a small serrano in it for about 15 minutes would give it a subtle heat. Throw the pepper in whole and take it out 15-20 minutes later.

here you go - super easy

~2/1 ratio of melted butter to Frank's Red Hot Sauce, add garlic (or garlic powder) and lemon juice to taste, and salt if the butter is unsalted

Heat the oven top 375 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make your buffalo sauce.

Toss the cauliflower florets in the buffalo sauce and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the inside is tender and outside is crispy.

Tofu vegetable stir fry 

Thoughts: We subbed sweet peas for snow peas. We put too much ginger for out taste buds. Probably my fault. Might also cut back the Asian Chile sauce a scoach. And increase the Hoisin sauce. 

[Lhorn 5045]

Made tofu fried rice the other night.  If you like the texture of deep fried tofu more so than the soft, regular type, the air fryer works very well.  Press the tofu a bit to get as much water out as possible, cube, toss in a little oil and air fry.

At the request of a friend we tried Green Vegetarian Cuisine on Chimney Rock the other day.  Not sure what a kosher/vegan Korean Fajita burrito was going to taste like.  It was surprisingly damn good.  I'm not sure how "healthy" it was but the taste was excellent.
