Pronounced ma-zhe-dra, this is a vegan Middle Eastern bulgur wheat, lentil and onion pilaf that is incredibly yummy! I first had it at a now (unfortunately) defunct Middle Eastern cafe and the full-blooded Syrian owner told me what the ingredients were, so after they closed and I was craving this dish, I threw together the ingredients in amounts I felt were similar to hers and it turned out pretty authentic tasting! You can also use equal amounts of whole-grain brown rice instead of the bulgur, but I prefer the bulgur wheat. Nutritional info listed is using the bulgur.
This versatile spread can be used as a dip, filling for burritos, or as a boost of protein for quesadillas.
Want to know the secret to great chili? Start with great spices--and skip the packets at the supermarket, which are full of sugar and salt. Make your own to save money and skip the salt.
Taken from a recipe in a 'Biggest Loser' recipe book, this has been adapted to be vegan, but my meat eating hubby loves it!

This is a great meatless meal that tastes like it has meat in it and will fool any meat eaters who venture to try it!
Just don't tell them it is meatless and they will never know the difference.
Great spread on bread in place of your traditional dairy laden butter. Use on baked potatoes, roasted corn, or add lots of garlic and use it with garlic bread.
A healthy non-egg alternative that can be used with any type of fresh fruit for a topping.
Perfect for leftovers-- makes enough for two servings. I usually eat it before and then after working out.
There are a lot of steps to this flavourful, vegan pasta dish, but you can do a lot of the prep ahead of time. The onion / garlic puree can be easily made up to a week ahead, and the chickpeas will keep their crunch for a day or two if kept in a container like a cookie tin - NOT a plastic bag! The toast takes only minutes (though it bust be served immediately), and can be done at the same time as the chickpeas by adding the bread tray to the oven when there are 15 minutes of roasting time left.
Delicious as a side-dish or a snack!
