Help!Tired of rice and salad!!!?
I was wondering if anyone had any good vegan recipes that aren't to time consuming to make? Even ways to make rice a little more exciting.
Answers:
Veggie stir fry, whole wheat pasta with chunky sauce, garden bake casserole etc. Check out http://www.vegweb.com for tons of recipes.
Use a vegetable broth to steam your rice, use jasmine rice or wild rice, something fun and add black beans. corn, red onions, bell peppers, while it steams. For a protein I am a big fan of tofu cooked with sweet chili sauce, garlic, onions, shoyu and some napa cabbage. So yummy!
How about a nice pasta with fresh marinara sauce?
I love those fake corndogs available in the freezer section that contain soydogs.
How about greek tostadas made with a pita, hummus, feta and olives?
First Of All, I'm a vegitarian myself. But I just can't seem to give up cheese. I have a good product that you might have seen already,

I tend to mix a little brown rice with white rice for variety and because the brown itself is harder to cook. Also you can cook rice in soup to get a soup rice like vegetable soup.
Then you can take cooked rice and stir fry it with vegetables and seasoning to make a quick fried rice.
You should also try different kinds of noodles. Spaghetti, wheat, white, vermicelli, etc...

Why limit yourself to rice and salad? Try some curried cous cous, quinoa pilaf, millet and lentils, spicy bean tacos, beans, onion, and leeks rolled up in a tortilla, pupusas, arancini, veggie soup (cooking rice in stock makes it more exciting) Add some fresh herbs-rosemary is awesome. Make some veggie kebabs with rosemary steamed potato, pearl onion (whatever veg you like) and grill them with bbq sauce. Open your horizons a bit. Add some nice raw kolrabi or raw asparagus to salads, along with fresh english peas and garbanzo beans. Make some interesting new dressings, such as green onion, blended with sunflower and olive oil, pine nuts, and some raw apple cider vinegar. Its all just about learning some new recipes. If you have to rely on rice due to allergies, try some of the more exciting rices such as japonica or forbidden rice. Good luck!
