Quinoa, Beet, and Arugula Salad - Vegetarian Recipes - Best Vegetarian Recipes

Recipe By:slmcm

"Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and can be used as an alternative to white rice or couscous in most dishes. The arugula has a rich peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavor for a leafy green which goes well with the slightly nutty flavor of the quinoa."

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound beets, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup red quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar

• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 3 ounces arugula, chopped
• 5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover pan and bring the water to a boil. Add beets, cover pan, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
2. Bring quinoa and 2 cups water a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
3. While the quinoa is cooking, whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl.
4. Remove quinoa from heat, then immediately add half of the vinegar dressing while fluffing the quinoa with a fork; reserve remaining dressing. Cover and refrigerate quinoa until cool, at least 1 hour.
5. Stir green onions, arugula, goat cheese, beets, and remaining dressing into cooled quinoa mixture. Toss lightly before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head garlic

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Method 1: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (125 degrees C). Slice 1/4 inch off top of garlic bulb. Place in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Blue Cornmeal Pancakes - Vegetarian Recipes - Best Vegetarian Recipes

Recipe By:UBERGRRL

"This is a recipe from a cafe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are good with maple syrup or, if you're ambitious, with homemade peach or raspberry spread. This recipe serves four people, fewer if they're very hungry."

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup blue cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 beaten egg

• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cornmeal, salt and sugar. Stir in the boiling water until all of the ingredients are wet. Cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
2. In a measuring cup, combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cornmeal mixture until just incorporated. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk until it flows off the spoon thickly but smoothly.
3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, and grease it with a dab of oil or butter. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Quickly sprinkle a few pignoli onto each cake. When the entire surface of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, flip them over, and cook the other side until golden. It's hard to tell when blue food is cooked through--so give them a few extra seconds if you're in doubt.
4. Serve immediately with maple syrup of fruit preserves.

Barley Risotto Primavera - Vegetarian Recipes - Best Vegetarian Recipes

Recipe By:Jen

"Easy to make and bursting with flavor, this risotto uses barley instead of rice for an extra nutritional punch. This is a hearty and filling meat-free alternative to the usual skillet meals."

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 3 small yellow squash, diced
• 4 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup pearl barley
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrots 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini and yellow squash; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Heat chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cook and stir barley into onion mixture until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Easy Mashed Potato and Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas - Vegetarian Recipes - Best Vegetarian Recipes

Recipe By:JUSTLETTY2

"This is the perfect comfort food for cold days. To make it vegan, substitute non-dairy ingredients for dairy. Leftover filling makes a great lunch! If you want to make mashed potatoes from scratch, you will want at least 4 cups when you are through."

Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 8 ounces whole button mushrooms
• 3 small zucchini, chopped
• 2 cups chopped carrots
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cups water

• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 (7.6 ounce) package instant mashed potato flakes
• 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
• 3 cups enchilada sauce
• 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes; stir halfway through their cooking time. When finished cooking, remove from the oven, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Bring water, milk, and butter to a boil in a large pot. Remove the pot from heat, and mix in the mashed potato flakes. Let stand two minutes, then stir the mashed potatoes with a fork until they are smooth. Stir in roasted vegetables.
4. In a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat, quickly heat each tortilla on both sides to make pliable. Dip the tortillas in enchilada sauce. Put a large spoonful (approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup) of potato-veggie mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top mixture with about 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese, and roll tortillas. Place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour extra sauce over top, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through.
