What are your favourite veg meals Chanteylass?

We've got a huge love of Cajun rice & beans at the moment. Otherwise known as Hoppin' John. We have this with butternut squash or sweet potatoes and lots of dark greens. Great stuff.

I also make veggie chilli by the bucketload and freeze it up. Lots of spice, including chilli, paprika, cumin and cinnamon. Coffee and cocoa too for a rich 'mole'. I use TVP (aka TSP) the dehydrated soya mince, which while it's not as good as some meat subs it is a handy storecupboard standby, and if cooked slowly in a rich sauce comes out surprisingly well - though I don't use it for quick cooking dishes because it *can* be awful. Of course it bumps up the protein from the beans.

We're big fans of pasta and gnocchi, which are both really quick - even if you knock up a homemade sauce with tinned tomatoes (I find the hands on time is something like ten minutes but the reduction takes an hour.) I always include shed-loads of garlic. And top it off with nutritional yeast. A nice green salad on the side.

Big fan of brown rice salad, it's my fave lunch. And scrambled tofu with curry powder, along with healthy pile of spinach on the side is another. Soups too, can't have too much soup!
