Wondering if anyone out there can give me some tips and recipes.
I love salads and recently got a book on making more interesting salads which worked out great...now i want to do more with Vegetables instead of my usual cut them up and throw them in a pan.
Can anyone give me a link or tell me the best ways to cook certain vegetables for example is it best to eat carrot raw...boiled or fried or steamed? Does anyone have any recipes for me to try which doesn't have any meat to see if i can enjoy a meal like that.
I recently tried stir fried cabbage with onion, mushrooms and garlic and really enjoyed it.
Any help would be appreciated thank you :-)

Mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, beans.....whatever you LIKE) then oyster sauce. Cook vege in pan, then add sauce, place lid on pan for about 10 mins on lower heat. Serve. Yummy.0

Roast them!0

Pan frying in PAM can be a good, easy way to stir fry vegetables, and makes it easy to add protein to the mix. The Hungry Girl blog also has a lot of good, easy recipes.0

Two great cookbooks, I use them daily. Both explain how to clean and prepare each type of veg, the seasonings that go well with them, and then give a variety of recipes. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, by Deborah Madison and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, by Mark Bittman.0

I eat a ton of roasted or baked veg.
A tiny bit of olive oil and into our mini convection oven they go on a pan. When done, sprinkle with a bit of salt--yum. Or sprinkle with seasoning salt or some Indian spices.
My faves are parsnips, they just seem so hearty and filling.
Next on my list would be carrots, zucchini, sweet potato, Crimini mushrooms, turnips.
I could go on but I'll stop.0 -
Thanks all thats great :-) I will check out those cookbooks0

Oh yea, I eat panned fried cabbage just about every day ~ I love it, very filling, and for me is an adequate replacement for the starches I try to avoid .
Tonight I made this for the first time, it was tastey ~ wanting to use my fresh dill ~
Shaved carrot salad with fresh blueberries and dill
◾1 bunch carrots
◾2 tsp horseradish
◾Fresh dill
◾4 tsp cider vinegar
◾1 clove of garlic
◾3 Tbsp olive oil
◾1/4 pint of blueberries

With a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long strips. Place the strips in a bowl.
In a food processor or blender, mix the horseradish, a couple pinches of the dill, the garlic and the olive oil. Mix well until the garlic is finely diced and the dressing is a little creamy.
Toss the carrots with the dressing and add the rest of the dill and the blueberries as garnish.0 -
Pinterest.com and check out outdoor. So many foil over flame ideas. YUM!0

Cut raw Brussels sprouts in half, toss in olive oil or coconut oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in the oven until crispy.0

Also, saute them and put them in an omelette.
Roasted veggies are delicious.
Boiling tends to lose more nutrients.
Put them in pasta.
Lots of things you can do with them0 -

Yum!!! This looks delicious!0 -
I love a nice veggie curry - there are a ton of recipes floating in cyber space. I like mine really spicy but there are milder ones out there0

The Moosewood recipe books are a great resource for vegetarian cooking. My favorite is called Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special. The recipes are soups and salads. The book also tells you which salads go well with each soup. All of the recipes are simple to make, and taste really good.0

I find that there are very few entree recipes out there that can't be improved healthwise just by adding an extra vegetable to it. (Bear in mind, when I cook I eat a lot of "one pot" dishes or single servings of whatever roasted in a foil packet). Lentil soup -- or most soups, really -- add some spinach just before it's done! Ginger soy chicken: why not add some snow pea pods and a red bell pepper to the pot? Chicken with tomato sauce: perfect excuse to add some broccoli. Any kind of meat with BBQ sauce: why not heat that up over a bed of green beans and salsa (salsa counts as a vegetable if you eat enough of it, right?).0

This is a recipe my friend sent to me over skype! I'd retype it prettier, but ... well, lazy.[6/27/2013 6:06:28 PM] Amy: omg i love me
these are the best things ive made in a long time
okay
I took one of the sandwich thins, and seared both sides of both halves in some nonstick spray, and while they were still hot i rubbed them with a garlic clove and then a little bit of margarine.
Then i threw in a teaspoon of olive oil and some super finely sliced yellow onion and sweat them for a bit before adding some finely chopped garlic, parsley, and some red pepper flakes
after about a minute i just dumped in like a cup of frozen spinach, and sauteed that for a few minutes. Then, I separated it into 2 piles in the pan and topped each with some (tblspn each) skim ricotta and mozzarella and put a lid over it and let it sit for 4-5 minutes. Then I just scooped each pile onto each half of the bread and oh man
I put the recipe in and it's approximately
