You can do all kinds of curries, if you're into that.
Today, I had the following for lunch (I was cutting up the stuff with the pot already on the oven and adding it to the pot when I was done) :
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a pot, add 1 small potatoe (finely diced), 1 small onion and 2 cloves of garlic, mushrooms, around 150 g frozen green beans, then 200 ml of light coconut milk and spices (curry powder, ground coriander seeds, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika powder) to taste, turn the heat down and simmer around 10 min or until potatoe is tender, two minutes before finishing, I added a handful of baby spinach. Serve with a tablespoon of soy yogurt (or any yogurt you like) on top.
Some of my other favourite combinations: lentils, mango and leeks or (that one I got from the internet and it was surprisingly good): potatoes, carrots and canned peaches.
Another good thing about curries is that you can adjust the calories easily according to your goals, by cutting or adding high carb components (potatoes, chickpeas, peas, corn, lentils...).0 -

Roasted Broccoli
1bunch of broccoli (florets and I peel and use the stems as well)
1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix it all together, put it on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 20 minutes or so. You want some charred bits on it and it gets pretty sweet.
We do this with carrots, zucchini and asparagus as well. You can really roast any vegetable.
Good luck!0 -
Baba Ganoush Stuffed egg plant. I modify this recipe http://www.inspiredtaste.net/24825/baba-ganoush-recipe-roasted-eggplant-dip// add 1 tsp cumin (instead of 1/4) and 1 tsp coriander and roast the garlic cloves for 5 minutes or so.
Once cooled I add 1 large egg/1 cup of baba ganoush and mix until smooth. I then pour about 1/2 cup of this mix into half of an eggplant shell and roast at 175C/350 for 40 minutes. It is so light and fluffy it's amazing. I actually have a freezer full of baba ganoush that I defrost and put into eggplants as wanted- for this I just roast the new eggplants for 40 minutes at 175C and then remove most of the shell and puree it into the egg/baba mix and roast again as normal.0 -
I make bean soups to take to work for lunch. Here is one from last week, as best I can remember. This week is going to be plain old lentils.
Vegetarian Chili
2 lbs Red or Pinto Beans soaked overnight and then rinsed and simmered 2 hours
Add
I large onion diced
8-10 stalks of celery chopped
1 cup carrots chopped
1 Sweet green pepper chopped
1 Sweet red pepper chopped
1 or 2 Poblano peppers chopped or hotter peppers depending on your taste
1 303 can of diced tomatoes (diced Roma tomatoes work well, but skinning is a pain)
1 bunch of cilantro chopped
1 Tsp chopped oregano
1 Tsp cumin (This is the real flavor in chili powder, so why not use the real thing?)
2 Tsp minced garlic (I love garlic and use more)
1 Tsp celery seeds
1 Tsp Basil
If you don’t mind empty carbs and crave a tortilla flavor you can add a can of hominy to make it a little more like posole.0 -

This recipe is excellent as it is or to use as a base for a veggie/meat curry : gently fry 1 red onion, 1 red chilli, 3 garlic cloves, 2 inch square of ginger (all finely chopped) in a little hemp oil or good oil for 5 mins, add 1 punnet of shittaki mushrooms sliced and 2 large sweet potatoes chopped into cubes with skin on and cook for a further 5 mins, cover with stock and cook till potato is soft. Blend with a hand blender till smooth season with sea salt black pepper!

I'm a pescatarian, but only eat fish about once a month. I eat a version of this all the time! My version usually includes soy sauce and some stevia for extra salt/sweetness
I also eat a lot of tacos with faux veggie meat. DELISH.
