The National Vegetarian Week 2016 is happening now, or actually it's almost over, and unfortunately I haven't been able to make any new flashy recipes for it. I've only seen wonderful contributions by other bloggers. I thought that I'd share some of my archive favourites from the blog with you and chose nine from different types of dishes and cuisines. Of course I have many more favourite dishes, but these kind of came first to mind.
Homemade
veggie burgers are an absolute essential in my vegetarian diet. I
like making different patties and serving them with vegetables and
ideally also homemade rolls. This burger patty is a non-breaded bean
and lentil mix, very nice with char-grilled bell peppers.
I often make vegan soups and the
options are limitless. Sometimes I like to make Thai spiced soups
like this pumpkin soup containing coconut cream, ginger, chilli,
lemongrass, lime, coriander and other Thai style spices. This is a
wonderful warming and comforting soup and fits in perfectly into the
pumpkin season.
A crispy thin flame cake is a wonderful
thing filled with leeks, cheese and crème fraîche. It makes a nice
change to the normal pizzas. I do like making pizzas very much as
well, but when I want something more special, it'll be a flame cake.
Mexican food is very good for
vegetarians, as there are so versatile and tasty options, normally
also containing a lot of proteins. Vegetarian chillies can be so
tasty and can be eaten with so many different sides like nachos, rye
nachos, rice, tortillas, pasta and potatoes. Chillies are quite
simple to make once you've got the hang of it. Just keep the most
common seasoning at home, and you are ready to go anytime.
I added one Finnish recipe here, just
because it's my own cuisine. These pies in rye crust filled with
buttery potato mash are so good. Normally these pies disappear very
quickly once I've made them. I'm planning to make a batch this
weekend again and can't wait to tuck into these.
Pasta!
Oh yes, don't mind if I do. I really love different pasta dishes, as
first of all they are tasty, but also so easy and quick to throw
together on a weekday. I sometimes make my own pasta, if I want
something more complicated. This sort of tomato and mozzarella pasta
made with the best ingredients is one of my main favourites.
This sort of savoury pies are my
absolutely favourites among ultra filling veggie grub. This pie is
full of savoury lentils under a smoky and buttery potato mash It
would be a perfect Sunday dinner or something different to serve to
guests.
Lebanese
dirty rice in its simplicity has to be one of the best vegan dishes
ever. It's mainly just lentils and rice served with crispy fried
onions and seasoned with subtle ground cumin. This is also a very
economical dish to make and easy for weekdays.
I probably make at least one main meal
salad per week, and as it's the main, it has to contain some filling
agents. Often I use lentils, halloumi and different grains or seeds.
This one is just another example of a tasty and filling salad.
I hope you liked the archive recipe
compilation and I wish you a good weekend!
