Made them burgers! I had to use more millet than the recommended breadcrumbs and in the end I think I used too much. I'll know next time! With sweet potato chips and tomato sauce. Must learn how to photograph food properly.

Tonight it'll be homemade felafel with tahini dressing and spuds fried in olive oil with spring onions nyom!:D

bythewoods · 07-12-2010 7:54pm

I made the most awesome dinner ever the other night.

Butternut squash, cut quite chunky, roasted with a little bit of olive oil and a fair bit of Balsamic vinegar put with a rocket, raw spinach and watercress salad, spring onions, cucumber, roasted pumpkin seeds and a big dollop of houmous.

The butternut squash was amazing with the balsamic vinegar, crispy yet soft, and bitter yet sweet. Oh God. My 2 devout-meat-eater-friends even enjoyed it!

Tar.Aldarion · 07-12-2010 9:27pm

sounds yummm mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Gizmoisgiddy · 07-12-2010 11:47pm

I had pasta, with quorn mince with shallots, frozen mixed veg, and a can of tomatoes mixed in
In otherwords vege spagetti bolognese

Warronh · 09-12-2010 10:06am

I always consume heavy meals and last night I had some veggie-salad, tomato soup, veg-fried rice and some curd.

Gauge · 09-12-2010 10:18am

Curry with butternut squash, chickpeas and spinach and a little bit of plain yoghurt + brown rice and mini garlic and coriander naan bread. Lovely winter food!

RussellTuring · 09-12-2010 7:19pm

Seitan korma with homemade samosas.

Gauge · 14-12-2010 12:49am

Last night: Makhani dhal
Tonight: Red Lentil/Chilli Chickpea soup

Both very very nice! The dhal was my first time making a curry with spices instead of straight up curry powder or paste. Yum! The soup was really warming.

fillefatale · 28-12-2010 1:50am

I made stuffed, roasted whole butternut squash for xmas day and had all the usual trimmings...

It was so tasty and very filling! One of these would feed four people. Even my hardcore carnivore dad commented positively on it... although he wouldn't try any, he's suspicious of 'exotic vegetables'.

awesom_o · 29-12-2010 3:46pm

I threw some lemongrass, tofu, ginger, coriander, ginger, garlic ,breadcrumbs and egg in the blender. Shaped them into balls, fried them in sunflower oil for 2 mins and eh voila.. tofu and lemongrass nuggets.

Ate it with sweet chili sauce and noodles

It was so so good.

No bother! Carving out the butternut was the hard and boring part! I got this recipe ages ago from the Afternoon Show, its Lorraine Fitzmaurices

It has egg in to bind it together, but I think this could be omitted or you could use water instead.

I tried both of Dee's burgers recently and I have to say that I'm really disappointed. First off they took a while to cook in the oven, and they actually stuck to the tinfoil, while the burger itself remained quite soft and broke apart easily. Tasting them then, I found them really bland (even the spicy ones) and needed to add loads of relish to them to add flavour. I wouldn't buy them again.

Tar.Aldarion · 29-12-2010 9:46pm

thanks for the recipe, looks yummy. spinach and fake ham going in mine

It was so cheap and easy to make. And loads in it.

My first week as a vegetarian and my first post in the veggie forum!

Today for dinner I made a carrot, potato and courgette curry, making the curry sauce from scratch. Served with rice and chapatis. Had a spiced mushroom and spinach side dish which was lovely.

Have a carrot and parsnip soup made for my tea tonight which I'm looking forward to.

Tar.Aldarion · 12-01-2011 11:36pm

oh great start by you !

awesom_o · 13-01-2011 5:11pm

LOL I feel like a fraud here, with you lot making unusual/original/fresh veggie food.

Being the savage that I am, I had a chicken fillet roll.
Well. A quorn chicken fillet roll.

At least it wasn't those sh1te yokes you'd get from a garage on a Sunday morning. Ugh. Memories.

Shenshen · 17-01-2011 4:47pm

Just some home-made broccoli and mushroom quiche... but it was yum.
I mixed regular cheddar and smoked cheddar in the filling, made it taste kind of bacon-y without any bacon

cosmic · 19-01-2011 11:51am

My OH made a delicious sweet potato and broccoli thai green curry with brown rice for dinner last night. Having left overs for lunch today - yum!

Tonight I made curried chickpeas and quinoa using Lidl tinned tomatoes with chillis. I added baby spinach to wilt at the end and stirred in some yoghurt (got a bit overzealous with the cayenne chilli pepper!).

Served with toasted wholemeal pita bread. Spicy, but nice!

Lia_lia · 21-01-2011 2:30am

Cheese, mushroom, onion, spinach and tomato omelette.
With homemade chips!
And a bitta salad.

Woop!

Tar.Aldarion · 21-01-2011 8:44pm

Tar.Aldarion · 30-01-2011 8:58pm

We had 3 course meals in juice recently for 15.50, was really good. Surprised people don't talk about it more on here.

I had spinach pancakes, bean casserole+rice+wedges+sour cream and a chocolate torte(amazing!) for dessert. Food was really good and was good service too.
The wimmin had bruchetta, sweet chilli noodles with tofu and tiramisu for dessert.

mmmm

Feu · 30-01-2011 10:38pm

Tar.Aldarion · 31-01-2011 4:50am

oh early bird menu is 5-8. Other menu seems expensive enough, 13 euro for veggie burger and chips

Feu · 31-01-2011 10:15am

menu sounds lovely, but i am somewhat creeped out by the photos they choose to have on their website - anaemic hippy veggies and someone smoking? WHat the what?

Tar.Aldarion · 31-01-2011 2:57pm

Konata · 01-02-2011 5:13pm

Is Juice a new restaurant? Never heard of nor noticed it before but the food sounds good!

Tar.Aldarion · 01-02-2011 5:17pm

Nope, I went there years ago but you wouldn't notice it too easily even passing it every day, yummy though. were on our way to yamamoris and saw the offer, mmm
