For my graduation party we are having all sorts of food but almost all (except fruit and veggie tray) have meat in it. My sister is a vegetarian and is coming in for my party, any ideas that I could make for her?Quick, Cheap and easy vegetarian recipes and ideas for party?
these two involve little or no cooking, since you're probably busy.





try a seven-layer dip with chips.


-vegetarian refried beans (most have lard, so be sure to get vegetarian!)


-sour cream


-guacamole


-salsa


-olives


-cheese


-onions or peppers


just layer them in a shallow dish-great for a buffet.





or a simple pasta salad!


-slightly undercooked spiral pasta (because it will absorb more moisture over time, and soggy is bad!)


-frozen peas


-sliced olives


-chopped green peppers


-grated cheese


-thinly sliced mushrooms


-zesty italian dressing


-just mix these to taste in a large bowl. stir it up before serving, and keep it chilled.

Is it good,reply pls
I have so many ideas and I have a recipe at home for you, I will come back tonight and modify my answer but for now:





1 8 ounce package cream cheese softened


1 small jar of green olives, diced fine


1 tablespoon olive juice


1 tablespoon milk


7 or 8 stalks celery (maybe more) cut into 2 inch chunks





Mix everything really good but the celery.


';Stuff'; the celery with mixture. These are good as soon as your making them or refrigerated.








Croissants:





1 package Aloutte Cheese, I like garlic flavor


1 package Pillsbury Croissant Rolls





Unroll them, separate them, add some cheese, roll them up and bake them according to the direction, maybe 5 minutes longer.





Vegetarian Chili:


2 cans black beans with juice


1 can rotel


1 green and 1 red pepper diced


2 jalapenos


water


1 red onion diced


6 cloves of garlic, minced


1 can of chili beans


1 tablespoon (or more or less) chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika











Add oil to a large pot, add garlic and veggies and onion, saute for 10 minutes, add everything else and simmer for a couple of hours. Use as much water as you think you need, and as it cooks you may have to a little amounts at a time. You can also put this out in a bowl, and have nacho topping surrounding it and people can make their own nacho plates.
Vege sprong rolls. Google it!
Bean Salad


Pasta Salad


Roasted %26amp; marinated Vegetables





ETA: Regarding Gloria's statement above... NO vegetarian eats fish. They are not vegetarians if they do.
Mixed Vegetable Bhajias





Ingredients (use vegan versions):





1/2 cup Chick-pea flour (original recipe said could sub


pinch baking powder


1/4 teaspoon chili powder


pinch tumeric


1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed


1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed


1-2 cilantro leaves, chopped (optional)


1 oz. zucchini


1 oz. eggplant


2 oz onion





Directions:





Sift flour and baking powder into small mixing bowl, add all spices and cilantro. Add 1/3 cup water and mix well, making a smooth batter. Let stand 15 minutes. WSH, DRY AND SLICE ZUCCHINNI, eggplant and onion into fine rings. Just before you are ready to cook, add to chickpea batter, coating them well. The original recipe would have you use a pam sprayed pan, or a bit of oil, but I found out that you could spoon out little pancakes of this stuff onto a nonstick baking sheet, and broil it a few minutes, til brown, flip and do the other side. They get nice and crispy (ok, not deep fried) but not bad. Pretty good, actually.





Un-Beef Satay with Thai Peanut Sauce





Ingredients (use vegan versions):





1 bunch fresh cilantro


1/4 cup Braggs Liquid Aminos


6 cloves fresh garlic


1 package seitan (wheat gluten)


1/3 cup peanut butter


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


2 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh if possible)


1/2 cup sesame oil


1 can coconut milk


1 cup water


1 teaspoon sugar in the raw


1 lime





Directions:





Its good to marinade your seitan the night before you prepare this meal. For the marinade- Take 3 cloves of garlic, crush and mince. Finely chop cilantro. Mix garlic, liquid aminos, 1/2 chopped cilantro, water and 1 teaspoon of ginger. Cut seitan into small chunks then add to mixture and chill.





O.k. its the day of the meal. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet, and add drained seitan. Fry until slightly crispy, set aside and allow to cool slightly.





The Sauce- Crush and mince remaining garlic. Mix peanut butter, ginger, garlic, remaining cilantro, coconut milk, cayenne pepper, sugar, juice from half a lime. Mix well and simmer. After stirring for 3 to 5 min. Remove from heat.





AND FINALLY. Now it is time to skewer your seitan. Skewer as you will, as many as makes sense. When I served this dish in my restaurant, I served it with coconut jasmine rice with a little bit of ginger. Feel free to be liberal with your fresh herbs. So, serve as an Entree over rice with the peanut dipping sauce or as an appetizer without the rice. Bon appetit!





Serves: 4 or 5





Preparation time: 20 min.








I thought sesam oil wasn't good as a frying oil (smoking point too low)?


You might want to try peanut oil. and add sesame seeds if you wanted to

We tried this recipe but could not get them to hold together. Is there a secret to this? What about adding some starch of some kind as a binder?

What is soya mince?





Archived comment by: oiebruadar


TVP soaked and then blenderized would resemble the normal mincemeat used I think. Also half a boiled potato can be used as a binder. You could try egg replacer made upto 1 egg, but that may add too much liquid to this. Try a few variations...Enjoy being veggie!
a SALAD!!
This was my fave vegetarian meal:


(Every person I fed this to (meat eater or veggie) loved it.





My Veggie Burrito





Flour Tortillas


Portabella Mushrooms


Bell Peppers


Onions


Black Olives


Black Beans


Tomatoes


Jalapenos


Romaine lettuce


Chili Seasoning


Ranch


Hot Pace Picante Sauce





I would take the portabella mushrooms, Onions, and Bell Peppers, sprinkle some chili powder (or chipotle mexican spice) Grill them.





Then take flour tortilla and top with everything, then put ranch and salsa on top. Then wrap into a burrito





It was my absolute fave, if helped me transition from meat eater to vegetarian.
sorry to be unoriginal but a loads of chopped veggies and some hummus if you are having a buffet is super easy.
Some people who are vegetarian, still eat fish.


There are always Portabello Mushrooms, hummus, tofu, and of course at this time of year you have some good vegetables and fruits to choose from, also there is the soy meat, like Boca Burgers, and many rice dishes to choose from.


These days there are a alot of recipes on the internet for vegetarians. I am sure you will find more than enough out there to make, Good Luck
