Veggie / Vegan recipes and recommendations

[Floval Flyer]

Since late last year we’ve been seriously cutting meat out of our diet. Trying to avoid red meat and only eating chicken once a week, but now running out of ideas.

One of my current faves is a veggie chilli:

A delicious, quick and easy meal that all the family will enjoy.

Anyone got any tried and tested recipes or recommend a vegan or veggie burger? I really miss a decent burger. Have tried the Linda McCartney mozzarella burger, which is OK, but doesn’t really hit the spot.

Naked glory vegan burgers are fantastic with a slice of processed cheese.

Ditto Naked glory sausages.

Dahl, many variations. Worth a look.

If you plan on making Dal use a pressure cooker.

I tried a meat free burger yesterday and although it was ok wasn’t the same as a big fat juicy burger

If you like McDonalds chicken nuggets the Quorn chicken nuggets taste almost exactly the same, I love them!

Hairy Bikers veggie feasts is good. Tried the Tom Yum soup last week and was superb. Must admit blanked the tofu and used king prawns.

Look up Cabbage Thoran as a recipe to go with a curry.

It is delicious.

My wife made sweet corn and chick pea burgers last night, Jamie Oliver recipe. Tasty imo.

I don't know. He's put on a bit of weight in the last few years.

And even more irritating.

Another vote for Quorn nuggets - they do taste exactly like McNuggets.

It's great that veganism and really sleazy food are not mutually exclusive.

My wife has a few Ottolenghi books. He does some amazing salads. Two in particular that spring to mind are his roasted cauliflower salad and his spicy carrot salad. They go so well with a BBQ.

Naked glory vegan burgers are fantastic with a slice of processed cheese.

Ditto Naked glory sausages.

The mince is great too for lasagne or cottage pie.

RIchmond meat free sausages are excellent - chilled ones available in Sainsburys and frozen version now in Iceland which don't need defrosting before cooking.
