Vegetarians
So, we are having someone over for dinner on Monday and I just found out he is a vegetarian. There goes my plan for an all pork meal. WTF do I cook now? Any suggestions for a kick-ass vegetarian menu?
I have like fifty ideas for you. The thing is, at a fine dining restaurant you are super limited as to what you eat if you're a veggie... and Italian or Thai or Spanish is what you end up with... so, I'm going to offer these dishes, and if you want any recipes, e-mail me.
-curried apple tofu meat loaf -quinoa cakes with eggplant, mozzarella and tomato ragot -coconut crusted pan fried tofu -tofu, peanut pad thai -curried spinach, potato and chickpeas with yogurt sauce -layered polenta ratatouille -spinach, tofu, pine nut quiche with split top baked tomatoes -quinoa lasagna and old bread salad.
Serve meat, like pork, along with innards like tripe or sweetbreads and just simply tell your guest that it's well seasoned tofu. They'll never know the difference and you won't have to stress! Even vegetatrians need protein you know.
I would love the recipes for the curried apple tofu meat loaf and the quinoa lasagna and old bread salad please. the coconut crusted pan fried tofu and peanut pad thai as well!
Vegetarians are really high maintenance, always expecting you to meet their needs and looking down on you for enjoying a nice side of beef. Jerks. Why put too much effort in? Go ghetto style and make enchiladas.
Goods: Corn tortillas, shredded cheddar, chopped onion, canola oil, and canned chili. YES, I SAID IT. Canned chili. The great part about this is you can make it in 2 dishes, and have one with the gross veggie chili, and one with the meat.
Fry up the tortillas in the oil and fold in half, separated by paper towels. Once they harden up a bit, fill each one with some chili, cheese and onion, and close it with a toothpick. Fill the dish, then pour more chili, onions and cheese on top. Bake it for 30 minutes at 400 and your retarded vegetarian guests will think you went all out, and you'll be laughing because they won't know they're eating 99 cent chili that probably has meat in it anyway.
