Simple And Rapid Vegetarian Recipes

By Sandra Vichy


Every tongue has its own idea of what it thinks are good tastes. Some really enjoy relishing the texture, and flavor of animal flesh. This is all well and good, if you choose to eat this cuisine. What about those who prefer staying with a vegetable, and fruit, diet? Quick, and easy, vegetarian recipes are right around the corner, and are right in your budget.

There are a few misconceptions from people who do not practice this lifestyle. One is that you are not allowed to eat anything that comes from animals such as eggs, milk, honey, and cheese. This is simply not the case. The idea is to stay away from killing an animal and partaking of its flesh.

A good vegetable stew is a very good place to start. Gather all the foods you would like to incorporate into your pot. Onions, garlic, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn are a few suggestions, and cut them to the size you desire. Select what herbs you prefer, to flavor the stock, like tarragon, salt, pepper, rosemary, and sage and place them in the dish with the food. Cover with water and cook until your desired texture is reached. Scoop out some, and enjoy.

Fajitas are just not for those who live south of the border. Meat does not even need make an appearance. With store bought tortillas, you will have a meal on the table in no time. Water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, onions, bell peppers, and celery make a tasty stir-fry concoction. Slice them, cook in hot olive oil, then place on your tortillas. Voila, what a great meal!

Everyone likes to think that cheeses are the enemy of people who engage in this manner of living. This is a complete mistake. Cottage, Colby, Swiss, Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheeses are delectable and good choices to add to any of your menus. Many farms produce these without chemicals, or any animal organisms. Free range cattle, and chickens, eat only the best of plants, and their products are good for your health.

All of the above mentioned menus are inexpensive, and can be made in less than an hour. The longest chore will be chopping the vegetables. Each dish is good for your body, and great for your chosen way of life. Try some foods from other countries and involve them in your cuisine. The more versatile your palate, the more delicious your cuisine will be.
