Yummy Vegetarian Dinner Recipes?

Hey, I wanted to know what your favorite vegetarian dinnerz are, and their recipes. Also, I am trying to watch my weight, so let's stay away from the creams and butters unlkess they are in very small amounts. My mom is not a big fan of pasta, so let's not do that. Thanks in advance.Yummy Vegetarian Dinner Recipes?
Bean Burrito Casserole Recipe





12 whole wheat, fat-free tortillas





1/2 onion, chopped


1 green pepper, chopped


2-4 cloves garlic


1/2 cup water


2 cans fat-free refried beans


1 cup salsa


1/4 cup nutritional yeast





Sauce:





2 cups low-sodium tomato sauce


3 cups water


1/4 tsp garlic powder


1/2 tsp onion powder


3 TBSP chili powder


4 TBSP corn starch or arrowroot





Preheat oven to 350掳F.





Saute the onions, green peppers and garlic in the water for about 10 mintues. Add beans, salsa and yeast and mix thoroughly. Keep warm while making sauce.





For sauce: Place all ingredients in a saucepan and mix thoroughly. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils (about 7 minutes).





Place about a cup of sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place some bean mixture in the middle of each tortilla, then fold up and place in casserole dish, seam down. When all the ingredients are used up, top with remaining sauce, cover dish and bake for 30 minutes.





I only had 6 tortillas, so I had leftover sauce and bean mixture, but it is possible that if I really used 12 tortilla, this wouldn't be quite enough filling. Brown rice would be good, too, but I didn't have any made in advance. Also, I topped my burritos with fresh diced tomatoes; shredded lettuce and diced green onions would probably be good, too.Yummy Vegetarian Dinner Recipes?
I'm not sure of the exact recipe here. But, I once had a Portabella mushroom, layered with goat cheese, roasted red pepper and seasoning. Served with brown rice.





It was incredible!
I really like quinoa,most supermarkets have it or any organic store, cook the quinoa for about 20/25 minutes, saute diced onions, garlic, mushrooms until brown,shredded carrots add sun dried tomatoes and spinach and if you like top with feta cheese
RATATOUILLE! ITS ALL VEGETABLES. I DONT NOE HOW TO MAKE IT THO. SORRY!
