Jalapeno-Glazed Tempeh Burgers

June 15th, 2011 | Printer friendly version Printer friendly version 1 comment »
I made these recently and Jason and I agreed that they are the tastiest veggie burgers we’ve ever eaten! The jalapeno glaze really gives them that perfect extra something… The Pickapeppa sauce can be found with the BBQ and Worcestershire sauces at most grocery stores. You can serve them as a standalone dish, or try them on a burger bun with lettuce and tomato. For an extra special summer treat, try serving them with Baked “Fried” Green Tomatoes. Yum!

Vegetarian Taco Salad

Vegetarian Taco SaladI had a craving for Mexican last week, so I made this tasty salad. I also made my own Tomatillo Salsa to dress it with, which made it extra delicious! The salsa is pretty easy to throw together, so I highly recommend making a batch if you have the time. However, you can use a store bought salsa instead if you are in a hurry.

Escarole Sauteed with Black-eyed PeasThis recipe is an old favorite of ours. I discovered it on the Weightwatchers website when I was doing their program several years ago. The black-eyed peas add protein, which can be difficult to get enough of when following a vegetarian diet.

Sliced Sweet Potato with Garlic Oil & Fried SageNow that the weather is cooling off, I’m feeling inspired to do more cooking! Jason and I tried this dish last night and we thought it was very tasty. Although the recipe calls for a fair amount of oil, it’s lower calorie than you might think, since the sage only absorbs a small portion of what is used for frying.

Spicy Collard Greens

Spicy Collard GreensThe state farmer’s market is close to my house and I’ve been taking full of advantage of it. They have such a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables that are bursting with flavor. Of course, here in the South, you’ll find traditional southern veggies such as collards! Collards are green leafy vegetables that are somewhat similar to spinach, but they don’t get as limp when cooked and they are a little bit chewier as well. This recipe spices them up with white vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes

Curried Tofu and Sweet Potato Wakaya

Curried Tofu and Sweet Potato WakayaThis Fijan curry was published in Vegetarian Times in the mid-nineties. I filed this away and didn’t think about it again for many years, until I ran across it in my recipe collection last week. Jason and I tried it for the first time and we thought it was very good, with unusual ingredients that combine in a unique and delicious way. I substituted mango chutney for the tamarind sauce that is included in the recipe and I would recommend this as a way to shorten the cooking time if you are in a hurry.
