My Life on this planet.

After a long silence, a new vegetarian recipe - this time using an Indian recipe, mixed with my own ideas. Ingredients A can of Punjabi Chatpate Choley Onion Brussels Sprout Almond nuts Herbs Potatoes Rice Preparations This section is short as it is not too difficult to prepare this food, unless you also prepare the Indian part. First, I start cooking the rice (heat a little oil before adding the rice and some dried herbs, mix and finally add water so it can boil until the rice is ready and the water gone). Then, I boil Brussels Sprouts and potatoes. I also fry in a pan small pieces of onions together with almond nuts while using some herbs and salt and pepper according to taste. The cooked Brussels sprout are also added for a short time to the onions to improve their flavour. I empty the can of Punjabi Chatpate Choley into a pot and heat on a mild fire. The main ingredients are curried chick peas in a richly spiced hot sauce. As soon as the sauce is warm, I add the ...

I prepared another vegetarian rice dish that I liked and thus want to share with whoever is interested. I cheated by using a tin of spicy spinach with cottage cheese (maybe you prefer to prepare that yourself) but I never can resist the feeling to do something more. And I know, it seems rice and potatoes should not be used for the same meal but I do as I like them together. Further, I don't eat meat thus I don't eat cholesterol and saturated fats and thus I think I am allowed some wrong combination. Ingredients Tin : Palak paneer (the above mentioned spicy spinach with cottage cheese). Other vegetables : Onion, Potato, Lentils (dry), Black-eyed beans (dry), Almond nuts, celery leaf. Herbs : garlic, ginger, salt and pepper, dry basil, vegetarian bouillon. Rice Olive oil Recipient Start with boiling the dry lentils and beans as they need some time to soften. I added some bouillon. In the meanwhile, clean some potatoes and cut them in pieces. After about 15 min of bo...

Today, I like to share another vegetarian meal I eat based on a Palestinian receipt. I bought a can of Medammas, containing fava beans ( or Vicia faba, also known as the broad bean ) and garbanzo beans (or chick peas), water, salt, olive oil, lemon juice and as a secret natural spices (I think with curry as the sauce was yellowish and a little spicy). Can of Medammas Ingredients Can of Medammas, rice, potatoes, green lentils, onion, mushrooms, sprouted soy beans, peanuts, almond nuts and pine nuts, tomato herbs (e.g. pepper and salt, garlic, curry powder). Preparing the meal First, I cut garlic, fried them a little in olive oil before adding rice, some herbs and water to cook until ready. Of course, I also used other ingredients than only the beans in the can, partly because I don't want to cook tomorrow and thus needs a little more but also as a vegetarian I need a mixture of vegetables to be sure I have all necessary nutrients. I cut potatoes into small cubes tha...

Another vegetarian dish to show that vegetarian food isn't boring and can be very nice. This time I prepare vegetarian meatballs in tomato sauce. No, this is not because I want to replace meat although that argument is perfectly acceptable if you want to become vegetarian because you don't want animals suffer but have difficulties not eating meat. I eat it because the vegetarian balls are very nice and the sauce is totally veggie. Let's start ... Ingredients Fig. 1 : Vegetables to prepare the sauce. First we need the ingredients. To prepare the sauce I used as vegetables  green asparagus , red pepper , courgette , onion, peanuts and almond nuts , ginger and garlic, sprouting leek and wok mix (i.e. soya, azuki, lentils, chicken pea, borlotti, peas and wheat) while also tomato puree, tabasco sauce, vegetarian bouillon and olive oil and garlic butter ( Fig. 1 ). Of course, I also needed vegetarian balls which I bought but may one day try pr...

A few months ago, I published a recipient for a rice dish with as main ingredients asparagus and oyster mushrooms . It was very nice but a little dry and thus now I publish another rice dish, this time for people who prefer vegetables in a sauce . Let's start ... Ingredients I used. The majority of the ingredients are dried black eye beans and lentils (in my case Eston lentils), I think about 100 grams of each although I didn't weighted them. The other ingredients are rice , cheese , cornflour , water , olive oil , 1/2 red pepper , 1/2 courgette (small), two potatoes , 2 onions , 1/2 tomato , peanuts and almond , 1/2 vegetarian bouillon cube , one large garlic clove , a little ginger, herbs (such as Italian mix, chili, curry, nutmeg and red pepper powders and basil) and a little salt and pepper . Let's start preparing the vegetables Beans and lentils need cooking for quite some time before they become soft, therefore I started with them. I did them together in a...

Today I prepared myself something lovely: a vegetarian rice dish. I will share the ingredients and some pictures. Ingredients The ingredients were green asparagus (much more taste than the white ones that never saw the sun), oyster mushrooms (of course others can also be used but these I like very much as they have a great taste), peanuts , goat cheese , red hot pepper , garlic and rice . The asparagus and mushrooms were cut in pieces, as were the pepper and garlic. Nuts, asparagus and pepper. Addition of mushrooms. First I heated oil before adding the peanuts as they need some time to become crisp. Then I added the asparagus as they were quite big pieces and thus needed time to soften. I also added the pepper so their taste would be absorbed by the asparagus. I flavoured by adding mixed herbs and some black and white pepper and salt. After some minutes I added the mushrooms and this I let for many more minutes (the time depends on how thick the piec...
