Anyone have any good Veggie recipes...post them here!
I was wondering if anyone has any good veggie recipes. The Fruit & Veggie Thread helped me so much with getting in more fruit & veggies in...so I thought starting a thread on sharing recipes with each other on some good veggies dishes would be good. What are some of your favorites...post them here.
can of tin toms, celery, onion, garlic, herbs, salt pepper(to taste) kidney beans, cannalonni beans, butter beans, lentils, bulgar wheat etc with turmeric, cumin, garam masala and make a spicy beans stew thing - easy to make, REALLY low fat, low GI, bulks things out if on met( ) and great comfort food!! xx

Does anyone have any good quick and easy veggie soup recipes?
The book I recommended has a mushroom soup. Soak a handful of dried mushrooms for 15 minutes in hot water. Meanwhile, in a dutch oven, saute a diced onion until softened. Then saute chopped fresh mushrooms (a pound) Add the dried mushrooms. Season with rosemary, salt and pepper. Fill the pot with 4-5 cups of liquid (preferably stock-depends too on how thick you want the soup), 1.5 lbs total of root vegetables like carrots and turnips (make sure the vegetables are cut into roughly the same size pieces). Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 1/2 hour). After that is done, adjust the seasonings as desired, including adding parsley if it is around. We usually add a dash or two of heavy cream to make it a little thicker.
I think compared to other meals, it is fairly easy. My bar is pretty low though. I consider "easy" anything that allows you to walk away for substantial amounts of time while making it.

I adore these! They are great when you can find good fresh green beans in the winter. A nice taste of warmer weather.
Martinique Green Beans
1 pound fresh green beans, stem ends trimmed
2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup coarsely slivered shallots
6 cloves garlic, slivered
3/4 cup defatted chicken broth
6 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 tbs. fresh thyme leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Juice of three limes, for serving
1. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until just crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, and drain again. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, stirring until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and cook until the shallots are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper and cook an additional 3 minutes.
3. Toss in the cooked green beans and fold together well. Cook an additional 2 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and serve hot, with a squeeze of lime juice.
As for veg soup, the Italians have some great ones. Google Minestrone and you'll find lots of wonderful recipes for hearty, healthy soups.
