Vegeterian Tips: Many upscale food chains have either one or the other, or both salad and soup bars. Salad bars are great for vegetarians, but be careful not to overload on dressings, croutons, nuts, or cheese. Be sure to check with your server about the soups available and that they are bean based, with no meat. If there is nothing else available, salad and soup bars can make a hearty and tasty meal.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup cooked long grain brown rice
- 1/2 cup chopped cashews
- 1 can of corn
- 1 can of peas
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 2 medium size garlic cloves finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- red cabbage leaves (for decoration)
Directions:
In a 2 quart pan, heat peas and corn with a little water and the allspice.
In a skillet, heat oil and stir fry the garlic, onions and cashews until
onions are tender and the cashews are lightly browned.
(*caution- do not over cook the cashews) Reduce heat
slightly, drain water from the peas and corn and add to the
skillet along with the cooked rice. Mix until well covered, add salt and pepper to
taste.
Serving dish:
Create a bed of red cabbage on a serving dish and add the
rice mixture. Serve.
(*Note: Alternate recipe- let pilaf cool and add
pinapple chunks. Let set in the fridge for at least an hour
and serve. Surprisingly yummy, but definately not a taste
for everyone.)
This colorful recipe is delicious to the eyes as well as
the taste buds. I hope you enjoy.
