Thanatos340 1 #3 April 17, 2007 First.. Only use Fresh Vegans. They spoil very fast, The traditional Recipe is to just place them in a huge caldron and build a big fire under it. Some tribes like to add Spices and Potatoes and Carrots. Serve with white wine and a nice starchy side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #14 April 17, 2007 My roommie is vegetarian so I cook a lot of different stuff. Tofu is easy to cook in the skillet.. and its going to soak up the flavor of whatever you cook it in. Soy sauce is awesome in tofu (imagine that!). You can substitute tofu for just about anything you'd cook with chicken or ground beef. And its awesome in thai recipies. Spicy peanut noodles.. pad thai. Black Beans and pinto beans are a good meat substitue. Try heating up some black beans and serve them in a bowl with a little feta cheese on top, with corn muffins or cornbread pancakes. Thats some southern cookin.. Veggie lasagne is easy. Use lots of squash, zuchinni, spinach, carrots, asparagus.. whatever you like. Layer it up just like a regular lasagne without the meat. Does he eat fish? Its a bit more expensive than meat but its soooo good. Last night we had lemon pepper orange roughy (bought a bag of frozen orange roughy at costco), steamed asparagus, and au gratin potatoes. Other easy fish options are salmon, tuna, mahi, grouper.. swordfish..mmmm.. Dont forget easy stuff like sandwich wraps and burritos. Rice and beans and veggies. Tofu in either as well. If you dont know how to cook any of that stuff.. go online to any recipie site and just look something up with that ingredient and it will tell you how long and what temperature to cook it.
