Vegetarian Recipes l Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers

Tuesday 30 September 2008

How to make Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers Video. Veggie Burgers are a nutritional alternative to beef burgers. Many people don’t think of making their own veggie burgers but they are really easy to make at home. Store bought veggie burgers are nutritional but often very high in sodium and preservatives. You can substitute the eggs in this recipe with “flax eggs” which are a mix of 6 tbsp ground flax to 2 tbsp boiling water. The milk in this recipe can be substituted with either soya milk or rice milk. This make the recipe completely vegan!
Lentils are high in fiber which makes them a good protector against bowel cancer. They are an excellent source of protein and are an important source of B vitamins, especially B3, which is essential for both a healthy nervous system and digestive system. They are high in iron, zinc and calcium and are a good replacement for red meat. Like meat, the iron in lentils is better absorbed when they are eaten with a good source of vitamin C like leafy green vegetables.
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that is essential for our bodies, but that the body cannot produce. Walnuts are also a very good source of monounsaturated fats.
Walnuts contain many powerful antioxidants, including ellagic and gallic acids, pus antioxidant phenols and vitamin E. The minerals copper and manganese are also found in abundance in these tasty nuts.

Broccoli Salad Recipe

Tuesday 30 September 2008

Broccoli Salad recipes are delicious and can be nutritious. A real “super food” broccoli is chock full of nutrition, antioxidants and flavor. This recipe is also an easy way to get more vegetables in your diet.

I’ve got to admit, the dressing isn’t too healthy - but it is delicious. Try no-fat mayo, light cheese and leave out the bacon for a more healthy option.

You can make this salad with raw broccoli or blanch it a bit to hold the color and soften the florets. If you don’t like raw broccoli blanch the broccoli for 1 minute or so. But be careful to not leave the broccoli in the water too long.

This recipe pairs broccoli, bacon and a dressing to make a sweet and sour salad that’s a great side dish or meal all on its own.

Tomato Soup Recipe

Tuesday 30 September 2008

This wonderful tomato soup recipe comes from the Bistro Jeanty restaurant in Yountville, California. It’s one of many fantastic restaurant recipes in Napa Valley.

You will need 2 1/2 lbs ripe/juicy tomatoes, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 pound of onion, 6 garlic cloves, 1/4 c of tomato paste, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 Tb. pepper corns, 1 tsp. thyme, 4 cups heavy cream, 1 tbsp butter. Salt to taste, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 lb. puff pastry, 1 egg.

Procedure:
Melt the ½ cup butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme,
bay leaf and peppercorns; cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Do not let the onions color. Add
tomato paste and lightly “toast” the tomato paste to cook out the raw flavor the add tomatoes,
and water if needed. Simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes and onions are very soft and broken down. Puree by passing through a food mill. A food mill works best however you may use a blender in batches or a handheld immersion blender until finished, the strain. Return the soup o the pot. Add the cream, salt, white pepper and remaining butter to taste. Bring soup to a simmer then remove from heat. Allow the soup to cool for two hours or overnight - in the refrigerator.
Divide the soup among six 8-ounce soup cups or bowls. Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch. Cut into 6 rounds slightly larger than your cups. Paint the dough with the egg wash and turn the circles, egg wash side down, over the tops of the cups, pulling lightly on the sides to make the
dough somewhat tight like a drum. Try not to allow the dough to touch the soup. These may be made up to 24 hours in advance and covered with plastic in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly paint the top of the dough rounds with egg wash with out pushing the dough down. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown. Do not open the oven in the first several
minutes of cooking as the dough may fall. Serve immediately.
