vegetarian

I love making vegetable stew. I tend to start with the Vegi Soup Mix from Bob's Red Mill, and while that's simmering, I sear and season the vegetables in a separate pan before combining it for the last 15 minutes or so.

Soup Mix:
Lentils
Split peas
Barley
Vermicelli

Vegetables:
Mushrooms
Onion
Garlic
Carrots
Green Beans
Potatoes

Seasonings:
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Soy Sauce
(Anchovie-free) Worcestershire Sauce

A bit of bread on the side with Country Crock spread, and I've got a hearty, protein-packed, vegan meal with enough umami flavors to compete with the beef stew that I remember from childhood.

After this ‘tremendous’ win for the EU’s traditional meat farmers, can they now stop their constant whining?

I recently ran across this company. Anyone try their stuff?

I'd be curious to hear others' experiences - how they prepared it, what they thought about it.

I, along with two others, are planning a menu for a four-day summer camp for gymnasts (aged 8-16). One of the menu ideas is for spaghetti and meatballs. We do have a tight budget, the gymnastics club runs as a charity...

My family doesn't really like veggie meat replacements (we aren't vegetarian but do not eat much meat, legumes seem to be the most accepted), so I am unsure which vegetarian meatballs would be best. I have found these online at supermarkets near me, and any opinions on which are good would be so helpful.

• Plant Based by ASDA Meat-Free Meatballs
• Tesco Plant Chef No-Beef Meatballs

Thank you!!

I've got a craving for a KFC Famous Bowl (don't judge me lol). I've got everything for that except a good brown gravy recipe. The few I've found seem to look more like salad dressing than gravy.

A "famous bowl" is mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken (I'm using Beyond), brown gravy, and corn topped with shredded cheese (dairy-free in my case). It sounds gross on paper, but it's actually quite good. Again, please don't judge me; I crave what I crave.

A good vegetarian "gravy" is the one component I'm missing to make this happen for dinner.

Any suggestions?

I got some pizza disks for Christmas, they're a real game changer. I can finally cook a GOOD hand-stretched pizza crust in my home oven without worrying about messing up the launch or preheating the steel. No longer am I limited to pan pizza.

With egg, bell pepper, spinach, and mushrooms!

Okay, so I used Ziyad falafel mix... but I still mixed it and fried it myself :D

A curry made from puréed spinach, veggies and spices; with fried paneer cheese and toasted naan flatbread

Sautéed black beans, corn, onions, spinach, chilies and shredded cheese; wrapped up in flour tortillas, smothered in sauce and more cheese, baked at 415° F for 12 minutes.

Radishes, onion, garlic, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and Maggi vegetable broth base. Thickened with a roux made from flour and olive oil.

Fried eggs, sunny side up with "Everything Bagel" seasoning; Morningstar plant-based sausage-pancake-on-a-stick (I am so glad they make these, it takes me back to my childhood); and the sweetest damn Bartlett pear I've ever tasted.
