Vegetarian Meals Recipes (Most Popular)
While browsing the Whole Foods Market Recipes iPhone app the other day for vegetarian dishes, I came across a recipe for Homemade Black Bean Burgers. I had all the ingredients stocked, so I decided to make up these burgers for a BBQ my husband and I hosted for our friends and family. These burgers were delicious, but what I got most rave reviews about were a variation of these made from kidney beans.
These kidney bean burgers were actually a happy accident, as I grabbed a canister that I thought was bread crumbs and started pouring. It turned out to be Flax Sprinkles and gave the a nice consistency to to the mix while adding a lot of nutritional value with the Omega-3s.
Make note when following this recipe: I don't often measure ingredients while preparing food. I just throw in the ingredients until the mix looks like how I think it should. All the measurements below are estimates, excepting the kidney beans and egg. You make need to add more or less flaxseed and bread crumbs based on how much sauce/salsa you use.
Oh my goodness, this is so good. It isn't EXACTLY like the take out General Tao's but darn close! I used reduced sodium soy sauce, minimal cornstarch, and Canola oil instead of vegetable oil. I also used less oil.
This is good paired with sticky brown rice, broccoli, and bok choy.
The texture of this comes out almost like mashed potatoes but not as smooth -- almost like grits. I serve it to guests and they always ask how I made homely old cauliflower taste so good!
Great protein waffles without butter or flour. This is adapted from a friend's recipe. You can omit the protein, the baking poder and reduce the mile to 2 TBSP to make pancakes.
This recipe is great for any meal! It's a big hit for potlucks (not to mention really easy!).
