eggplant parmesan...yummy!
2 lbs (about 2 large) eggplants
Kosher salt
1 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
4 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 lbs of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 cup grated high quality Parmesan cheese
1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
1 Cut eggplants lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange one layer in the bottom of a large colander and sprinkle evenly and generously with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant, salting, until all eggplant is in the colander. Weigh down the slices with a couple of plates and let drain for 2 hours. The purpose of this step is to have the eggplant release some of its moisture before cooking.
2 While the eggplant is draining, prepare tomato sauce. Combine tomatoes, garlic and 1/3 cup olive oil in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper to tasted and set aside.
3 When eggplant has drained, press down on it to remove excess water, and lay the slices out on paper towels to remove all the moisture. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine flour and breadcrumbs. Mix well. Pour beaten eggs into another wide shallow bowl. Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and pour in a a half inch of olive oil. When oil is shimmering, dredge the eggplant slices first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg. Working in batches, slide coated eggplant into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
4 Preheat the oven to 350掳F. In the bottom of a 10x15 inch glass baking dish, spread 1 cup of tomato sauce. Top with one third of the eggplant slices. Top eggplant with half of the mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan and half of the basil leaves.
5 Make a second layer of eggplant slices, topped by 1 cup of sauce, remaining mozzarella, half the remaining Parmesan, and all of the remaining basil. Add remaining eggplant, and top with the remaining tomato sauce and Parmesan.
6 Bake until cheese has melted and the top is slightly brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.

take 2 : 2 : 1 tablespoons of
oatflakes : grated cheese : milk
spiced with salt,pepper and nutmeg
mix it with a fork and form little balls, press it flat and crisp it in a pan 1 minute each side
a terrific alternative to meatballs liked by old and young people (you have to reckon with 3 tablespoons per person)
I dont have any recipes per se but I eat rice in place of alot of meat items. Stuffed cabbage with rice filling instead of meat, fried rice, made with oil, garlic powder and soy sauce and NO egg.
Rice patties.
I love potatoes but I tend to want to smother them with butter or sour cream and act like a starving pig so to cut down on fat and calories I started to use more rice.
And always use the good rice like Mahatma or Jasmine.
As a vegetarian,if you don't want your meals bored, it's not only the matter of food stuff, the important is that you'd better know different ways of cooking,such as salad,steam,braise,western style,asian style,etc.. Below Chinese healthy recipe website,there are some recipes for vegetarian/vegan.

I'm guessing you eat a lot of tofu but, have you ever tried it grilled? This is really easy...
1 package extra-firm tofu
Marinade:
1/3 cup Soy sauce
1 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs OJ
2 cloves miced garlic (the bottled kind they sell in the store works well)
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
Cut the tofu into 8 even squares. Pour all of the marinade ingredients into a large ziploc freezer bag. Close the bag and shake to combine ingredients. Put the tofu in the bag and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (the longer, the better!). Fire up a grill and cook the tofu over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side. Feel free to baste the tofu with the remaining marinade. Be careful when turning the tofu though, it can stick to the grill (spray the grill with Pam before it is hot to prevent this) and, the little guys can easily slip through the grates!
Enjoy...

www.goveg.com god bless you!
This is my favorite recipe, it is soooo good!!! My boyfriend is a meat-eater and he prefers this over the kind with meat in it. It makes a lot too, so it will last a while.

I have food allergies and have to avoid wheat, eggs, soy, dairy, and other things, so I have developed some creative and tasty recipes to help me stay vegetarian. Here is one for cheesy herb squares-really different and yummy. You can substitute suitable ingredients if you like
2 cups puffed millet (health food store)
1/2 cup pastry flour (I used quinoa and tapioca flour)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar (cabot has a veg version
made with vegetarian rennet as opposed to animal
rennet)
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (I just use sea salt and
celery seed)
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tbs herbs (I used fresh rosemary and thyme)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened, or veg oil
1 egg or egg substitute (I used ground flax soaked in
water until egglike consistancy)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients
except millet in a large bowl with a fork until well
blended. Fold in the puffed millet, just until well
incorporated.Scrape into a 8'; baking dish and bake
until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. You can top
with additional cheese during the last few minutes of
baking, if desired. Cut into squares and serve hot.
I can't have tomato sauce, but these would be
delicious served with any type of sauce, but were just
great on their own.
This is easy and really fun to make - plus you can be as creative as you want.
Get whole wheat tortillas - top with your choice of Tomato sauce or hummas - top with an assortment of fresh veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, olive, onions, bellpeppers) top with your choice of cheese. (mozarella, jack, pepper jack)
Bake for about 20 mins or until cheese melts - it's an healthier alternate to Vegetarian Pizza - not so many carbs from having the actual crust.
Bake at around 400 degrees -
this makes a great finger food for small get togethers!
Enjoy!
Stir fried veges. Oil in a frypan. Garlic. Red peppers (capsicums). Carrot. Zucchini (courgettes). Snow peas or green beans. Mushrooms (just a few). Broccoli. Turn the heat on stir it up as it cooks and after a few minute put a little water. Then some thin soya sauce ( traditionally a little oyster sauce and a little fish sauce as well). Next a little sugar. Very soon remove from the heat and serve.
You could have it with mashed potato or rice. Add some nuts or have these as an accompaniment.

you could make this vegetarian dish with all sorts of vegetables in it and then boil it iv tasted it it is delicous you really should try it just give it a try.
well do u eat tacos. i mean you can eat many things like tacos and burritos and things like that jsut put beans in the place of meat. i mean i do that all the time. so you might want to try eat. i love eggs so i eat many things with eggs. i agree it is for sure hard to find food with out eggs.
Steamed broccoli (or any other vegetable) on a bed of steamed shelled edamame. Sound too bland? Now for the secret magic ingredient : One cube of Preserved Fermented Bean Curd. This stuff--if you can stand it in the first place--will make anything you put it on addictive!
(I've just gotta try Monika S' oat-cheese balls--that sounds unique!) ((DID try them and they were great even on first attempt. I baked them though. Don't leave out the pinch of nutmeg.))
Here's one of our favorites:
PASTA WITH EGGPLANT RAGU
2 tsp. olive oil
1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 eggplant, pared and diced
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce ( or 1 regular and 1 NSA)
About 1-1/2 tsp. dried basil
About 1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano
A little sugar (a tablespoon or so?)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
About 2-1/2 cups uncooked pasta, cooked (gemelli, corkscrew, penne, etc)
1 (15 oz) can navy or great northern beans, rinsed and drained
Parmesan cheese.
Start heating a pot of water for the pasta and cook pasta while preparing sauce.
In a stockpot saut茅 onions and garlic for a few minutes. Add green pepper and cook a few minutes more, until nearly tender. Add eggplant and cook several minutes more until tender. (Can cover pot, but stir often). Add tomato sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper, sugar, and beans. Simmer a few minutes. Add pasta. Serve with a little parmesan cheese on top. Makes 3-4 servings. (Takes about 45 minutes or so to prepare.)
veggie lasagne is great you simply buy a ready made tomato base pasta sause and layer it with lasagne sheets and riccotta cheese. another good one is chicckpea fritters- can of chickpeas a couple of beaten eggs clove or two of chopped garlic a dash of curry power mix together and drop a spoonfull at a time into frying pan. also make tacos and burritos with whole kidney beans and refried beans instead of mince-delish! pupkin soup is simple, filling and yummo! simmer pumpkin with some veggie stock cubes, drain water when tender blend or mash till smooth add salt and pepper a little cream then heat back through-oh yeah reserve a little of the water to add to get your desired consistency. and my favourite salad is roast beetroot whole with skin on, remove when cool cut into chunks then toss with some greek style natural yoghurt and add a handful each of fresh corriander leaves, mint and flatleaf parsley. it is a delight. you can also add a couple of cloves of roast garlic and come chopped chilli if you like things spicey. just mash the garlic after removing the skins through the yoghurt. oh and dry roast the beets! hope you like at least one of these recipes!!! plus it is great to have a roast meal with just vegetables-it is hard to beat baked potatoes!!!!
