Adapt Your Recipes to Go Vegetarian

December 3, 2008

Check bookstore, magazine racks or go online to find flavor-filled dishes from vegetarian cookbooks and publications. And you can adapt almost any recipe for vegetarian-style eating. Try these tips for adjusting recipes:

• Substitute cooked or canned beans for meat in casseroles, stews, soups and chili.
• For grilling, cube and skewer firm tofu and vegetables.
• On pizza, hot sandwiches, sloppy joes and other dishes that typically call for meat, use soy-protein patties, bacon or sausages.
• Prepare pasta sauces, pizza, soups and stews as always, but skip the meat. Add more chopped vegetables and beans instead.
