1. Combine oil, vinegar, herbs, lemon pepper and garlic in small bowl; mix well.
2. Slice eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut red peppers into 1-inch strips. Place vegetables in 13X9-inch baking dish. Pour oil mixture over vegetables; turn to coat. Marinate 30 minutes.
3. Spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare grill for direct cooking. Remove vegetables from marinade; reserve marinade. Grill vegetables, on covered grill, over medium coals 8 to 16 minutes or until fork-tender, turning once or twice.
4. Return grilled vegetables to baking dish; turn to coat with remaining marinade. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Variation: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash into cubes. Toss with the red peppers and remaining vinaigrette.
pickle slices (I don't like pickles, but my friend does and she says they're good on this sandwich)
lettuce
Directions:
Spread mayo on the vegan bread. Slice the cucumber into little circles
and put them on one piece of vegan bread. Slice the tomato and put them
on the other piece of vegan bread. Put as many sprouts and lettuce as you
like on top of the tomatoes and cucumbers. Oh yeah, the pickles...
put them in whenever you want. Put the two pieces of vegan bread together
and eat!
If you don't like any paticular ingredient, feel free to replace it
with whatever you want. This is a pretty open-minded sandwich.
If your not going to be eating it for a while, like say
your packing it for lunch, keep the tomatoes separate or
else it will get soggy.
1/2 spanish onion (less if you're not crazy about onions)
salt, pepper
1 cup frozen seasoned vegetable mix
pan spray or non-hydrogenated vegan margarine equivalent
Directions:
Light grill, set on low.
Place an 8-12 inch piece of foil on another piece 3 times its size, both shiny side up so that the small piece is at the center of the large.
Spray the length of the foil with the spray.
Pile the potatoes on the doubled spot, the onion on that and finally the veggies on that.
Dot the top of the pile with pats of margarine.
Fold the foil end to end and seal the sides.
Place on grill, put on cover and let cook 1 hour.
You'll find the crispiest potatoes on the bottom.
Peel the yuca until it looks all white. Cut it in 4inch pieces and
boil it until soft. Use a fork to test it, should break easily.
In a small bowl mash the rest of ingredients together until a soft
paste is formed. Add water or vinegar to get a wet but not so liquid
paste.
When the yuca is ready, drain it. Pour the mojo over the yuca, serve
warm.
Peel Beets. (This may make your hands pink...wear gloves if that
worries you) Dice raw beets, add to water, enough to cover and be
about 4 times their volume. Lightly sautee onions, carrot and
parsnip in pan with cabbage and dill. Let sauteed vegetables sit
while you cut up the carefully washed beet greens (they can get sandy,
like spinach) into tiny bits. Add them at the last minute to the
sauteed vegetables, stirring as they immediately wilt. Add vegetable
mix to beets in water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
The water should cover all the vegetables you have added.
Cook over low heat for at least 2 hours til beets have gotten tender,
the water has gotten VERY pink and all the veggies are cooked and very soft.
Serve hot....folks may wish to add vinegar to the pot or to the
individual servings. If adding to the pot, start out
slowly...1/4 cup at a time to taste. When you like the taste, stop.
We usually serve this hot, with a boiled potatoes on the side to add.
Chop all vegetables and toss with herbs, spices, soya sauce and dressing.
Cook in microwave 5 minutes on high.
Transfer mixture to a wire grill and place on BBQ.
Baste with reserved dressing mixture.
Grill for 10 to 15 minutes turning occasionally.
1 small Bell Pepper, (red or yellow for best color!)
2 tablespoon soy sauce
Large pinch of vegan sugar
Black Pepper to taste
2 tablespoon Toasted Sesame seeds.
Directions:
Heat oil until hot and stir-fry Brussels for 2 minutes
Add onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Fry for 2 min. Stir constant.
Toss in remaining ingredients. Serve and Enjoy!!
1 Tablespoon of non-hydrogenated vegan margarine -- maybe a little more
1/2 cup of vegan red wine (the better the vegan wine, the better the taste)
dash of tamari sauce
any combination of these herbs: thyme, rosemary, herbs de provence,
garlic powder, sea salt, lots of
optional: a dab of vegan mustard or mustard powder
optional: sesame seeds
Directions:
Wash and quarter mushrooms -- add to a baking dish.
Mix magerine, vegan wine tamari and spices. I don't usually melt margerine, just break it into 'crumbs'
Add crushed garlic and onions.
Pour over mushrooms, making sure they're coated with mixture. Cover
with lid or aluminum foil (former is preferable!) and bake for 25 minutes
at about 475 degrees -- or as long as you like, depending on taste!
Bon appetit!
Slice the aubergines into 5mm thick slices. Coat in seasoned flour and fry in olive oil until golden and crisp. Slice the tomato and tear off about a handful of basil leaves. Put 4 slices of fried aubergine into the bottom of a glass dish and make layers of aubergine, tomato and basil. Finish with a basil leaf and a slice of tomato on the top. Put into a pre heated oven (200 degrees C or the equivalent). Cook until tender.
Serve with a crisp salad and plenty of fresh vegan bread.
This is also delicious with lentils dressed with raspberry vinegar and walnut oil.
