Veggies/Vegetarian Recipes

VEGGIES/VEGETARIAN
Artichokes and Feta Cheese Spread on Pita: June 17, 2013
Serve this as a munchie, or think about topping it with a nice romaine salad, drizzling with a bit of your favorite dressing, and serving as a salad, vegetarian main-course, or even (as it happens) a lovely accompaniment to baked salmon.

Artichoke and Feta Tart: November 26, 2013
Note: this particular version had an added layer of (very nice) muffaletta, so it’s not really vegetarian, but if you follow the amounts listed in the recipe for the feta and the cream, you should be good to go with a well and truly (and vegetarian!) filled tart to set before friends and family.

Artichokes, Grilled, with Sesame Dipping Sauce: May 16, 2011

It’s an appetizer, it’s a salad… it’s a veggie! Triple threat!

Artichoke Relish With Kalamatas, Garlic, and Fresh Basil: July 21, 2015
This is really very nice spooned over a grilled steak; but you might could think about serving it plain (or with added feta cheese) on a cracker or crusty bread. Or spreading some on a sammich.

Artichoke and Spinach Casserole: April 14, 2020

the ‘three’ is silent – I’m jus’ sayin’ – until someone tells me otherwise.

Broccoli, Braised: March 31, 2016

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad: December 18, 2015
Major veggie salad! The dressing is nice, with not too, too much sugar added. If you’re concerned about calories and fat, substitute the sour cream with 1/2 cup of whole cottage cheese, creamed in your blender with 1-1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar. Yeh; you could use the ‘lite’ stuff, but have you read what they put in it?

Carrots with Parsley and Catalina Dressing: January 6, 2010
You could offer this as a salad or side dish, but it’s a perfect crunchy little
nibble, and not too, too messy as finger food.
Parfait! French Carrots: May 2, 2014
I still prefer my carrots with the Catalina dressing, but this substitution is nice, and with no refined sugars, it’s probably a little better for you.

Cowboy Caviar Dip: July 10, 2023

Crêpes, Stuffed Manicotti-Style: June 11, 2013
Where to put this recipe? I made this version vegetarian, though the original called for a meat sauce; and in place of pasta tubes, we’re using crêpes, those lovely, thin Frnech pancakes. *sigh* Just resign yourself to finding this, praticular recipe in just about every section of this here table o’ frikkin’ contents. We strive for nothing if not overkill.

Duxelles: February 5, 2011

Serve this as part of an anti pasto platter with some crusty bread, a few good olives, assorted cured bits of pig, and mebbe even some Marinated Stuffed Cherry Peppers.

You want to make this vegetarian? Go ahead and skip the ground beef and the refried black beans and go with a can or two of drained black beans.

Enchiladas, Black Bean and Cheese: March 12, 2013
These were good, but I think I prefer the red chile sauce from the cheese & onion enchiladas below.

Enchiladas, Black Bean, Cheese and Onion: August 20, 2013
I borrowed at bit from the cheese and onion recipe below, used veggie stock throughout, and my new favorite way(s) with black beans to make for a fine and filling enchilada fit for a feast.

French Onion Bread Pudding: November 9, 2011

Fresh Relish: June 14, 2018

Haricot Vert in Apple Cider: November 3, 2014

Haricots Verts With Garlic, Mustard, and Lemon Juice: April 3, 2013

Same message as above, but a little simpler preparation.

Make this riff on a Hungarian classic as a vegetarian dish, or go ahead and add sausage and live life large. Nice, either way!

Ratatouille ‘Za!: January 24, 2014
This version isn’t vegetarian, but you could easily skip the turkey meatloaf. And mebbe use feta in place of the Swiss cheese?

I used roasted veggie ravioli from Costco and a chunky veggie sauce, it was good.

Not really a salad and most certainly not a veggie, this riff on a Caprese should really not be missed.
