Simple Vegetarian Recipes for All Meals

 
by shashinjutsu

Going vegetarian offers a variety of health and environmental benefits.  Not only does eating vegetarian put less strain upon the planet, it has the potential of helping individuals achieve a more balanced lifestyle and more ideal weight.  Simple vegetarian recipes can be incorporated into any meal, making prep easy and quick.  Here are some recipes anyone can prepare with a minimum of fuss.

Breakfast Burritos

Cook up some potatoes, cut them up and mix with some wilted spinach and onions.  Place in a sprouted grain tortilla.  Top with some shredded cheese and/or sour cream.

Another alternative on this theme involves cutting up some tofu and frying it with onions, tomatoes, and peppers.  Top as you like, perhaps splashing on a bit of Tabasco sauce for heat and again, wrap in a sprouted grain tortilla.

Breakfast burritos are particularly useful because you can make up a large batch, freeze some and eat them over a period of time.  They are a great meal to grab on the go and with a salad, make an excellent quick lunch as well.

Lunch beyond salads

Quiche clearly requires you to be an ova-lacto vegetarian.  If this fits your bill, quiche has the advantage of being kitchen Velcro – meaning anything sticks to it well. 

Start with your basics, a pie crust or a well oiled large muffin tin.  Mix 4 eggs to 1 cup of milk – whole milk works best.  Now, gather everything in your fridge that you think will go well together.  This is the perfect way to finish up leftover bits of this and that. 

Toss those bits into the pie shell or the muffin tins.  You can top with a bit of shredded cheese.  Pour on the milk and egg mixture leaving a bit of room at the top for expansion during cooking.  Bake until the mixture solidifies.

Sandwiches are traditional lunch food and removing the cold cuts is easy.  My favorite is avocado, arugula, and tomato on sprouted grain bread with sea salt and plenty of freshly ground pepper.  For a wrap I spread some raw almond butter on a tortilla, slice on some banana and a bit of ground flax seed.  When I include a bunch of cut vegetables and some herbal ice tea, I have a great lunch with little fuss.

Dinner time Delight

I like quick dinners.  By the time I get home after work the last thing I want to do is start some serious cooking.  To accomplish that, I spend a bit of time with my groceries over the weekend.  I prepare greens in advance, washing, drying, and tearing them so they are easy to throw in a pan or in soups or salads when I need them.  I wash and cut fruits that store well in the fridge as well.

A really quick and easy dinner is quinoa and greens.  Quinoa is the only grain that offers a complete protein.  It cooks up in 20 minutes and leftovers make a great breakfast with some milk and berries.  Once I have my quinoa cooking, I toss some greens in a sauté pan with a bit of olive oil.  I wilt the greens, toss in some garlic, a bit of red pepper and salt.  When they are cooked, I put them on my quinoa and I’m ready to eat.

During the cold months I will use my slow cooker a lot, making soups and stews that take a few minutes of prep.  Recipes are available online for a variety of such dishes.  Corn chowder or lentil soup with some fresh bread is the perfect midwinter meal and requires little by way of work.
