Eggplant parmigiana - Jamie Oliver's recipe. Totally delicious! I do it with crusty bread and a green salad. Or feta and spinach cannelloni. Stuffed - in a tomato pasta type sauce. With garlic bread.

Risotto 1 large onion finely chopped 200 g finely sliced leeks 2 - 4 cloves garlic pureed 2 1/2 cups par-boiled rice 2 cups white wine 8 cups vegetable stock. If you are using liquid stock add 4 stock cubes 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 120 g tomato that has been peeled, de-seeded and cubed. 1/4 cup grated parmesan of other tasty cheese
On medium heat, in a heavy saucepan, saute onion, garlic and leeks in a little butter until transparent. Add parboiled rice and stir. Ladle in white wine and stock one ladle at a time. Cook for about seven minutes then add tomatoes. Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until the broth is all absorbed and the rice is creamy. Remove from heat, stir in extra butter and grated cheese.
You can garnish the risotto with a little basil or other flavoured oil.

I made a meatless meat loaf on the weekend. It was for my niece who is vegetarian and I had never made anything like this before. I got a tin of brown lentles and put them in the blender to a mince consistancy. I got some peanuts and blended them to small sizes. Put them both together with onion, an egg, grated corgette, grated carrot, grated cheese, soy sauce and some vege stock cube for added flavour and some breadcrumbs. Then put it in a loaf tin. However it was too moist -the top was cooking well but the inner was still mushy. so I tipped it back in a bowl, added more breadcrumbs and some flour till it was a stiffer mix and then made patties and fried them. They tasted very nice even though it wasn't quite a loaf :)

Alison Holst bean burgers. Grind up a jar of the mix, and you have a vegetarian meal ready to go whenever you want it - just add water! They taste fantastic - meat eaters love them too!
kiwitrish - care to share your cheese and onion pie - have been given a sack of onions so would appreciate something different

Sorry for the late reply but have been working.Here goes for one large pie.
make 200g shortcrust pastry. (can give recipe if needed) and line 20.5cm plate. Filling 2 large chopped onions cooked in boiling salted water for 5 mins and then drained. (I do mine in the microwave with 2 Tbsp water for 2 mins and drain) 100g grated cheese, whatever you have.I use tasty. 30ml milk (2 Tbsp) Salt and pepper Divide pastry into two and roll out and line a 20.5 cm plate. Spread the cooked and drained onions, top with the grated cheese and milk and season well with salt and pepper. Cover with the rest of the rolled out pastry and seal the edges well.Decorate if liked, and brush with milk and a sprinkling of grated cheese Bake 200c for about 30 mins.
As there is only two of us I make it on two side plates and change the recipe to a third more.If you need any help please ask.

I make the vegetarian shepherd pie from the book often. Everyone loves it and no one has ever complained there was nomeat in the meal. The lentil soup is delicious and so is the canneloni

We tried a recipe I had got of the message board last night.I think it was a Sophie Gray recipe. 4 medium potatoes cooked and sliced, 1 can chilli beans, 1 can baked beans, 1 can tomatoes, cheese. 1 onion, 3cloves of garlic sliced.Cook and slice potatoes and put 1/3 potato mix in oven proof dish.Whilst potatoes are cooking make up the bean mix.Put onion and garlic to soften then add tomatoes and both beans.Mix and cook a little.On top of the potato layer put 1/3 bean mix, then potato and another 1/3 mix, potato and end on bean mix layer.I put some fresh breadcrumbs over then grated cheese and put in oven to brown.Yummy.Will be another regular in our house and was a cheap meal.

This time of year I make lots of frittatas and fritters with corn and yellow courgettes or with tomatoes or with cooked grated potatoes and herbs or any combination fresh from the garden. Personally I add bacon and cheese on top, but that can be omitted.
Cook either in a big pie dish or a fry pan or make into smaller fritters.
Serve with a big mixed garden salad - green leaves, cucumbers, tomatoes, whatever is there.

Might be obvious but adding boiled eggs and sauteed mushrooms to a green salad makes me not miss my usual addition of stirfried chicken pieces.The eggs and mushroom are warm and the mushroom has that rich nutty flavour, sometimes also quickly brown a nut/seed combo and add that too.Great for if I've run out of chicken or can't afford it.

Just take out your teeth and you won't be able to eat the 'meat' in the pie.
fritters, omlette, fritatta, scrambled eggs/beans on toast, roast vege salad with feta or cashews, vegetarian sushi if you can make it ok, salads, bean enchiladas
