| 113 | More a tip than a recipe, when making a pumpkin risotto, I roast my pumpkin ( seasoning with salt, pepper, rasel el houte (sp) garlic & a little brown sugar) but I add a cup extra, then puree this into my stock, so you end up with a beautiful golden risotto. Also a great way to hide the vegetable if kids don`t like it! ruby19 - 2010-06-28 15:38:00 |

| 116 | Egg free "quiche" 1 sheet frozen ready-rolled shortcrust quiche pastry, partially thawed Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fanforced. Line a 23cm round (base) loose-based fluted flan tin with pastry. Trim excess. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thsi is from Taste AU, and is quite easy and tasty. I do add 1 egg to the white sauce mixture so it is more of a custard, but still not too eggy. Broccoli & mushroom goes well in the filling. ruby19 - 2010-07-01 08:33:00 |

| 119 | Haloumi fajatas marinade: 1/2 dl olive oil fresh coriander/parsley - Roughly chop the vegetables and marinade them and the halloumi (separately) for at least 1/2 an hour. Tip: To make the marinade combine all the ingredients except for the olive oil. Then, while stirring, drizzle just enough olive oil to make the mixture emulsify. ruby19 - 2010-07-04 16:04:00 |
| 120 | Risotto Loaf 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4″ thick slices Place zucchini on an oiled baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15-20 minutes until the zucchini is golden. Heat the remaining oil, add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and some salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and then add the basil. Add the rice to a saucepan of boiling water (no need to measure the water). Bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until rice is tender but still firm (al dente), about 10 minutes. Drain. Add the rice to the tomato sauce and mix well. Stir in the cheeses. Sprinkle half the breadcrumbs into a lightly oiled loaf pan, tipping the pan to coat the sides. Spoon in half the rice mixture. Add the zucchini as a layer on top, and then top with the remaining rice. Smooth flat, pressing down firmly. Sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs. Bake at 180oC for 30-40 minutes until golden and bubbling around the edges. Let stand 10 minutes. Run a knife between the torte and the pan and turn out onto a serving platter. Tap the pan all over and lift it off. Hopefully that worked! Cut the torte into slices and serve with green salad. Serves 4-6. ruby19 - 2010-07-04 16:07:00 |
| 121 | Kale & Lentil Bake 1-1/2 pound of potatoes, thinly sliced (about 4 baking potatoes or 8-10 mini potatoes) Layer potatoes in a greased casserole dish. Heat oven to 425F and put potatoes in oven while preparing rest of ingredients (this will help you get a head start on the baking time required to soften the potatoes). Saute the onions and garlic in oil until softened, about five minutes. Rinse the lentils and add them to the pan with the garlic and onions. Add in half of the thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, and then stir in the wine. Cook until the wine boils down and then add the water. Simmer for five to ten minutes until the lentils are just barely tender. Stir in the cabbage and remove from heat. Take the half cooked potatoes out of the oven and pour the lentil mixture over top. Stir it around a bit to distribute the mixture with the potatoes and then put the dish back in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, bring the dish back out again and stir in the kale and sprinkle with the cheese and remaining thyme. Return to the oven for another five to ten minutes until cheese is lightly browned. Serve with salad and a glass of red wine and bask in your healthy glow. ruby19 - 2010-07-04 17:07:00 |
| 122 | A delicious and simple curry to serve three adults... 1 tbsp oil In a large pot, fry the onion in the hot oil over a medium heat until soft. Add the pumpkin and fry for a minute, then add the cumin and coriander. Fry for a minute or so, then add the curry powder and fry for 30 seconds longer. Add the diced tomatoes and drained, rinsed chickpeas, cover, and cook until the pumpkin is soft (about ten minutes). Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the cup of frozen peas and cook a few minutes longer. Don't add them too soon or cook for too long or they'll lose their sweetness. Add the coconut cream if you feel like it. You can substitute tofu for the chickpeas. It'll keep its shape if you stir the curry slowly and carefully. rua69 - 2010-07-13 20:16:00 |

| 126 | Spinach Balls (makes about 24 balls) 450g frozen spinach Thaw frozen spinach. Squeeze out as much water as possible. Place thawed, dry spinach in a bowl. Add all other ingredients to the bowl, except the oil. Mix well. Form the spinach mixture into balls. Heat a thin layer of oil in a wide, shallow pan. Place spinach balls a few at a time and shallow fry them, turning the balls around till all sides are golden and crisp. Remove spinach balls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels. I used these balls in a tomato pasta sauce as "meatballs". Enjoy! ruby19 - 2010-07-27 18:02:00 |
| 127 | Zucchini Ricotta Cheesecake From cookbooks 101 2 cups zucchini, unpeeled & grated Preheat oven to 325F degrees, racks the middle. Butter/oil a 7-inch springform pan. In a strainer, toss the shredded zucchini with the salt and let sit for ten minutes. Now aggressively squeeze and press out as much moisture as you can. Set aside. In the meantime, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, shallots, garlic, dill and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Stir in the eggs and continue mixing until well combined. Now stir in the shredded zucchini. Fill the springform pan with the ricotta mixture and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for sixty minutes. If there is any moisture left on top of the cake at this point, carefully use a bit of paper towel to dab it off. Now sprinkle with the goat cheese and return to the oven for another 20 -30 minutes or until the goat cheese is melted and the cake barely jiggles in the center (it will set up more as it cools). At this point, if the cake is baked and set, but the top isn't quite golden, I'll zap it with the broiler (just about a minute) to get a bit more color on top. Remove from the oven and let cool five minutes, then release the cake from its pan. Cool completely, serve at room temperature drizzled with a bit of olive oil and a few sprigs of dill. ruby19 - 2010-07-29 07:54:00 |

| 129 | Easy Rice Patties 3-4 cups cooked rice (I normally just cook a small packet of rice) Mix the above ingredients together then form into patties dip in bread crumbs or crushed cornflakes. I like to add some sesame seeds to the breadcrumbs. If the mixture is too wet you can add some breadcrumbs. Fry or bake. If you are frying then cover the pan with a lid as the steam helps cook the egg inside the patties. Serve with a nice salad or with veges and gravy. ferita - 2010-07-29 18:41:00 |
| 130 | Cauliflower & Coconut Cream Curry Serves 4-5. Ingredients 1 cauliflower, cut into flowerettes Method Put the onion, garlic, turmeric and chilli into a food processor and grind ot a paste. kirinesha - 2010-07-30 08:17:00 |
| 131 | Gluten Steaks For the steaks: Broth: Method: In a soup pot make the broth by browning the onions (and other veges) Add the rest of the ingredients and bring it to boil. Taste it if its too bland then you need to give it some flavour (add some marmite or soya sauce or even some salt). Roll the gluten dough into a long shape and cut off "steaks'. Place these steaks into the boiling broth. Simmer the steaks for about an hour. After they have been simmered you can dice the steaks and use in place of meat in recipes. You can also breadcrumb them and fry them or bake them. The broth left over you can use to make a nice gravy. If you want to replace mince then you can mince the steaks and add them to your mince recipes . ferita - 2010-07-30 08:26:00 |

| 144 | Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread, it's good to have some tried and true recipes. I am the only vegetarian in our household, so loaves and casseroles are good in that they are easy to use the following night, and I have found plenty on here to try. kamor - 2010-08-03 15:01:00 |
| 145 | Potato & leek soup, sour cream to serve and chopped chives to garnish (optional) Heat the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan or stockpot. Add the leeks, potato, onion and garlic. Cover and cook over a very low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often. ruby19 - 2010-08-05 08:09:00 |

| 147 | Liams loaf Ingredients: 1/2 cup cashews Directions: Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray a loaf pan or 8x8 square baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside (an 8x8 pan makes a crisper loaf). Grind the cashews into a coarse meal using a food processor or spice/coffee grinder. Place in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Sauté vegetables in the olive oil until soft. Add to the large mixing bowl along with all the remaining ingredients. Mix and mash together well, adding only as much liquid as needed to create a soft, moist loaf that holds together and is not runny (you may not need to add any liquid if the grains and protein are very moist). Add more flour as needed if the loaf seems too wet. Press mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked through. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a plate or platter and slice. Serve with potatoes, vegetables, and vegetarian gravy, if desired. Cold leftover slices of make a great sandwich filling. wahinetoa62 - 2010-08-07 00:50:00 |
