My favourite vegetarian dishes are soups and Indian dishes. They've got an unlimited number of hearty, satisfying vegetable curries; the ones from the Himalayas and Kashmir are very filling. Then there's pokoras; vegetables coated in chick pea flour and deep fried.
I make this at least 2 times a week.
Tasty, High fiber, black beans and brown rice
can of S&W Caribbean Black beans (has Red Bell Pepper, Anaheim Chili Peppers,Diced Onion & Lime, Juice in Caribbean Sauce)
can of mexican stewed tomatoes (has green pepper and onion)
chili paste (tablespoon of Huy Fong Sambal Oelek, Chili Paste)
Uncle Ben's Brown Rice (Microwave in bag)
Drain juice from cans and add 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch, mix
Cook beans, tomatoes till bubbling. If you would like it thicker and more sauce, add cornstarch mixture, stir till the sauce comes out clear.
Meanwhile, microwave brown rice for 90 seconds. Place beans mixture on top or mix together. This makes 2 servings.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg (or egg substitute equivalent to 1-1.5 eggs (1/4-3/8 cups))
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs (maybe in addition, add 1/2 cup cooked brown rice) (possibly use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs)
Suggestions:
How to keep them from falling apart, though. First, you must rinse the black beans and dry them off before mashing them. Second, you must strain the onion, garlic and pepper mixture through a fine strainer to remove any excess water. Also, I freeze mine and grill them frozen.
Blended everything in the food processor, beginning with onions, peppers, and garlic, then oats, then eggs and spices, beans last. I chilled the mixture, then rolled (more like poured — think thick muffin batter) onto waxed paper. I froze the burgers. To grill, oiled some foil that was folded over burger.
As a substitute, use frozen pepper stir fry (red, yellow, green pepper slices and onion slices. You can find them in the freezer section at the grocery) instead of individual bell pepper and onion.
Served them with a "dipping sauce" of 1/2 salsa mixed with 1/2 sour cream. delicious.
Directions
1. If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
3. In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
4. In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
5. Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties. (Note: Made them smaller (ended up with 6 and served them with a "dipping sauce" of 1/2 salsa mixed with 1/2 sour cream. delicious.)
6. If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on cookie sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
Note: put a little oil on your hands when shaping the patties to prevent sticking.
Variation of the recipe:
Recipe with minor changes: used 2 cans of beans, 1 cup of bread crumbs, 2 whole eggs, some celery, and less of the spices (omitted the hot sauce, and used 2 t. of the other two; used super spicy chili powder) and to and to compliment the spiciness of the burgers, whipped up an avocado-ranch spread [mashed a half of an avocado, mixed in about a T. of ranch and 1/2 t. of sour cream]. with a slice of provolone, the avocado-ranch spread, and a wheat bun.
I found one on line that my family LOVES tried and true great recipe!! It is a recipe that uses tofu but I have also used chicken and I have made it with out the tofu just added more veggies. Serve it with rice and it is a wonderful dinner. Follow this link http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=8461, for the recipe or just go to vegweb.com and look around there.
I also find tons of great recipes at http://www.cooks.com
veggie fajitas I use lo fat cheese and lo fat sour cream when doing this recipe in case anybody is watching their weight.
Ingredients
- 1 pack of tortillas
- 1 red, 1 green, and 1 yellow pepper
- 2-3 cooking onions
- store bought teriyaki sauce
- sour cream
- lettace
- salsa
- cheese
1. First I cut the peppers into strips and the onions into rings.
2. Melt a little margerine in a large wok or frying pan.
3. Toss in the onions and fry until half cooked (about 3-5 minutes)
4. Add the peppers and continue to cook until desired crunchiness (my husband likes the veggies limp, but i prefer the peppers to still be a little crunchy)
5. Add about 1/3 of a bottle of teriyaki sauce. You have to make sure to buy a thick teriyaki sauce (a lot of the thin ones are really salty – mostly soy sauce) Stir it in over the heat.
6. Put together your fahitas. I like to serve the toppings in a buffet style so people can take what they want. I have shredded lettace, cheese, salsa, sour cream and sometimes diced tomato.
p.s. my problem is i always try to pack too much into the tortilla
i hope you like them!
