Chez Us

My favorite vegetarian dish is rustic cabbage soup. I add a few extras to add some zip and we add greens for color and health

All my meals are vegetarian, and I don’t really have a favorite, but in the summer, when my garden is overflowing, I love a tomato salad with basil and a sprinkling of olive oil, salt and pepper. or a grilled veggie sandwich on baguette with provolone cheese. In the frigid winter I eat a lot of soups and chilis — tonight it was kale and white bean.

One of my favorite all-veg recipes is a summer salad with cooked black beans and brown rice as a base, plus chopped fresh carrots, corn, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and cilantro. Toss it all together with olive oil, lime juice, and cumin. If you like, serve over greens. Filling, tasty, and a complete meal with some goat cheese and a baguette or crackers on the side.

3 Bean Chili! Garlic, red onion & Butternut squash sauteed/cooked in EVOO, 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 can (each) garbanzo, black & kidney beans, chili powder, cumin & other spices that suit you! so good!

Debbie Madison’s Chickpeas with Potatoes and Tomatoes….really easy and just so good!
I heard about your blog when your husband called in to NPR today when Dorie Greenspan was on…:-)

roasted vegetable with kale soup. the roasted garlic is key!

I can’t choose favorite anythings… But a recently discovered vegetarian delight is a sort of risotto with roasted red peppers and pine nuts, wrapped in wilted escarole (or chard) leaves, and baked with Parmesan on top. Mmm.

This cookbook looks beautiful. Our go-to wintertime vegetarian recipe is a hearty, tasty, and simple dal palak. The inspiration was taken from TheKitchn (http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-very-simple-dal-palak-80763), so I start from there and add whatever else is in my refrigerator at the time.

I would love to win the cookbook. Please enter me in the contest.

This cookbook looks amazing!
There are so many amazing vegetarian recipes out there- it’s hard to choose! But in the winter, I always turn to vegetarian chili. Especially butternut squash and black bean chili! Mmm!

It’s so simple but I love roasted veggies with great olive oil and just salt and pepper. Great just like that or in so many ways – wraps, omelettes, soups, etc…

I have two favorite vegetarian dishes currently, so I’ll put both down since I can’t decide which is better.

The 1st is a very simple butternut squash soup, made with fresh carrots, celery and onions for the base. Then adding home made vegi broth and fresh roasted butternut squash to the pot. After simmering I blend smooth and add salt and pepper to taste.

The 2nd is an eggplant tomato casserole, made with baby eggplant and canned passata tomatoes. Slice the eggplant, coat with salt and olive oil and roast till golden brown. Make the sauce with 4 diced up shallots as the base and layer eggplant, cooked penne and sauce in a casserole. Bake and server.

I love the look of the book’s cover! Wow! Will be trying this stew also. My favorite vegetarian recipe is more a side dish .. but I could eat it nightly and never get tired of it- curried cauliflower “fries” – chop up a head of cauliflower into bite size pieces, put into bowl w/ olive oil, toss and add curry powder as desired. Spread onto parchment paper-covered baking sheet, bake @ ~425 for ~10 min, flip bigger pieces, cook for ~6-10 more min until crispy on both sides, and devour, slapping husband’s hand away to get more

One of our favorite vegetarian meals features a salad with roasted butternut squash, black beans and feta cheese. The book is gorgeous – we’d love to win it.

Happy New Year! We are as happy eating a meat dish as a vegetarian dish and both find a place on our table. How does one even beging to name a favorite dish? Maybe Spanikopita? Or a wonderful Lemon Risotto I make and serve with a fresh green salad dressed in a tangy vinaigrette. Meatless couscous is fabulous, too. All depends on the season and the mood. I love Ottolenghi cookbooks and am dying to see this one!

I would love to win this cookbook! (if Canadians are allowed to enter that is..) As a vegetarian myself, I don’t know if I could choose one meal, but I’ll go with asian noodles with lots of veggies in a peanut sauce!

I come from a heavily carnivorous family and as a pretty health-conscious veggie I’ve found that Mexican food (black or red beans with brown rice or quinoa, spicy yogurt salsas and lots of tomatoes and avo) often satisfies the crowd while offering enough protein and flavor. We try new salsa recipes and use seasonal veggies to add. Breakfast burrito night has become a favorite! (also buying dried beans and grains in bulk make it a steal!)

I love Tabbouleh and Hummus…So good together!

Butternut Squash Risotto – the stuff dreams are made of. After hacking up the squash (my least favorite thing to do!), I do enjoy the stirring, the adding, the watching as the arborio slowly absorbs the goodness of the wine, the broth, the garlic. Truly a one dish meal.

One of my favorite vegetarian dishes to serve is a pimiento cheese panini with sundried tomatoes & chipotle peppers, I have also done a Vegan version with hummus instead of the cheese. I just found your site today, and I am loving it! I’ve been looking around, and you have so many delicious ideas.

What a great surprise to happen upon your website. My family gets a CSA every week and we often get so much excess veggies we do not know what to do with them. So our new year resolution was to do Meatless Mondays this year to help with all the wonderful veggies we get. I have a surplus of butternut squash as of now and did not want to do the go to soup. My husband wanted a heartier dish so this looks wonderful. I will be making this tonight and cannot wait.

There are so many great vegetarian dishes out there! It’s hard to choose… Last week I made some simple vegetarian wraps for lunches with homemade hummus, sprouts, avocado, pickled carrots and onions, and this great local tofu on whole wheat lavash. I think I could eat one of those a day forever.

I’m in! My favorite veggie recipe that works for everyone is “do it yourself spring rolls.” Make several sauces, a dozen yummy ingredients and let everyone roll away!
