Easy vegetarian meals

[coccinelle]

Have vegetarian guests coming to stay. Any quick, easy and nutritious meals I can do which doesn't involve a lot of chopping vegetables? Quorn isn't an option as can't buy it here.

Morning cocconelle lucky for you I have a family recipe.
If you take a tin of economy beans from the super market and seive off the delicious sauce having the beans and the delicious separately. Take a fork and mush up all the beans into a consistent paste. Mix in a egg white with the crushed beans and add salt and pepper to taste. If you are fealing really adventurous you could also add a little bit of kajun powder to the mixture. Shape the paste of baked beans and seasoning into flying saucer shapes and put on heat in a frying pan. Cook these both sides and put them in the oven to keep warm.
Next take the delicious sauce and squeeze a quarter of a lime into it and sprinkle in a bit of freshly grated cheese.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and sprinkle in half a packet of vegetarian cuppa soup while stirring.
Quickly get the bean burgers out of the oven and put them on a plate. Pour the sauce over them not leaving a drop (as it tastes so nice).
Take a piece of corriander and put it on top of one of the bean burgers and hey presto there you have a really lovely meal!
If you want to really make an impact you could sprinkle over a few sun flower seeds over the meal but usually we only had this on a special opccassion so it depends how much you like your friend!

Thanks again for recipes, some of those look really nice. Is that nice really smilingcrow?
The baked beans we have in France don't have sugar added and can be bought 'nature' or à la tomate.

Coccinelle, google Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Veg Everyday.

He did a series on TV last year all about veggie cooking and there are some nice recipes there.

Your are going to need a lot of inspiration for two weeks worth of meals!!!

Stuffed oven roasted peppers are simple with rice or couscous. Rough chopped veggies oven roasted in olive oil are quick and easy too.
