A bowl of leftover cold brown rice and roasted veggies, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, Sriracha sauce, arugala, and 1 t. Alziari evoo. (A few slices of avocado can be substituted for the evoo.) Actually, this is my favorite breakfast...

Just one? :) Probably my all-time favorite is mujadara (one of the many variations of the name): rice and lentils with onions and cumin, usually served with fatoosh-like salad.

One of my all-time favorites is veggie lasagna. I use anything I can get my hands on (eggplant, zucchini, squash, carrot) for the "noodles" and make a chunky, light tomato sauce to go with it. Lasagna is such a hearty meal, but when I do it this way it's rather light I can have it any time of the year!

Pretty much anything and everything with avocado, though my favorite is a simple whole foods bowl consisting of quinoa, seasonal vegetables (sometimes fresh, sometime roasted, sometimes steamed, sometimes sauteed), LOTS of avocado, organic greens, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and an olive oil/balsamic dressing. And if you fancy, topped with some feta or lentils or chopped nuts. DELISH!

I once found a garam masala recipe online somewhere and over the years it's just morphed into this great comfort food in our house. I'm not big on actually following recipes so I have no idea how closely it even resembles the original. And it's a one-pot kind of meal, which is always great - onions, garlic, garam masala spice, then tomatoes, veggie broth, lentiles and whatever other veggies you want to throw in there like zucchini. Throw it on some rice with crispy tofu on top... yum.

I like polenta because it goes with just about any roasted vegetable on top. This summer I've become hooked on millet in my salads.

I am vegetarian about 60-70% of the time and I don't know what I would do without fruits and vegetables in my life. My favourite vegetarian recipe recently has been Green Kitchen Stories' Green Lentil & Yellow Beet Salad. Beets are everywhere at the farmers markets now so I've made with (with both yellow and red beets) about 4 times already this summer. I add some chopped mint and toasted pistachios in mine. I even added sliced persimmon once!

Waauw you should definitly try making a fennelpie! First you make a spelt-crust which you top with a very thin layer of home-made slightly spicy tomato sauce. Afterwards you add the sliced fennel, which is beforehand already stir-fried for about 5 to 10 minutes! 30 minutes in the oven and you have a perfectly healthy and delicious veggie meal ^_^

I absolutly love couscoussalad with grilled courgette, paprika, dades, fresh mint and pine nuts and then spiced op with some cumin. So simple but so tasteful. But for a special treat you can wake me up for the Raw dream cashew cake from My new roots!

I have an infatuation with poached eggs. I think I could top any meal with one. I make a delicious barley, tomato, basil, and feta salad that I serve over greens with a poached egg on top. I also love a homemade pizza topped with an egg. I really could go on forever. Thanks for the giveaway!

It's so hard to pick just one vegetarian recipes but one that I love to make is "Tacos al pastor" with mexican soy meat (bigger than the one I find in the states, but can work with regular) in an amazing guajillo sauce topped with homemade guacamole (the real kind with tomatillos, avocado, onions, salt and cilantro), pineapple, cilantro and onions on a warm corn tortilla. YUMMY!! :)

I love making arugula salads with farro, dates, avocado, mint, blueberries and whatever nuts I have in my pantry. I top it off with a little salt and pepper and olive oil. It's great for a warm summer evening.

We love millet topped with ratatouille (veggies to your taste - zucchini in season :)) and cheese, baked together. Delicious as the millet has the all the flavor of the juice from the veggies.

As a recent convert to vegetarian cooking I am experimenting with lots of recipes and loving nearly all of them and although not vegetarian I'm not missing the meat! My recent favourite is a butternut squash and spinach balti style curry, mild in spice but full of flavour - perfect with homemade chapatis and wholegrain rice.

I'm a big fan of dill, avocados and any kind of grain salad. So, when I found this Golden Quinoa Salad with Lemon, Dill & Avocado on TheKitchn, boy was I ecstatic! I'm hooked on it now!

Tex-Mex veggie casserole is my all time favorite summer vegetarian dish. The recipe comes from a cookbook called Blue Corn and Chocolate by Elizabeth Rozin.

All of my favorite recipes are vegetarian, as I don't eat meat. But one of my recent favorites is a chili-cornbread pie: beans and tomatoes and onions (and plenty of spice) sautéed together and then baked in a skillet with dollops of cornbread batter on top.

I like to give my mother's traditional tabbouleh salad a new spin by adding cilantro, and making it with a finer wheat grain rather than bulgur.

My favorite vegetarian recipe is perfectly cooked polenta, which can take time & patience, topped with caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and blue cheese. I would love to add a recipe from this book to my vegetarian cooking!

I love this "Stir-Fried Luffa Gourds with Eggs" dish from Serious Eats and I try to make it whenever I see luffa gourds for sale in the Asian market. This dish, though vegetarian, is umami because it calls for fish sauce!

I love, and have always loved, stuffing kale with mixtures from around the world.... carrots, raisins and curry... feta and tomatoes with rice... my favorite recipes are flexible enough to accommodate whatever is hiding in my cooler that week.

I have many of them, but my current favorite is a tomato and corn pie I make with fresh basil. There are never any leftovers.

I've prepared and served the summer vegetable dish prepared "ceviche" style that was featured in Food and Wine magazine to two different sets of friends and family...with rave reviews and multiple requests for the recipe. This dish went with us to an outdoor concert and was the perfect side dish for not only my vegetarian friends but also for the rest of us "foodies". Thank you!

My favorite recipe is baked vegetable pockets. They are filled with eggplant, mushrooms, cashews and more and wrapped in rice paper. The recipe is on my site, The Naked Fig! And my favorite GKS recipe is the saffron yogurt tart.
Nav S.
August 7, 2013
Whilst GKS is my go-to meal blog, my favourite vegetarian recipe is peanut tempeh summer rolls, featured on the thug kitchen website. Not only are they delicious and fast but the ingredients are wholly interchangeable with whatever veggies and protein you have skulking in your fridge. As an added bonus my partner is obsessed with making the perfectly shaped summer roll so I can keep having dinner made for me!

At the moment I am getting really into raw baking - lots of dates, soaked nuts and raw cacao! Pick of the lot so far would have to be the 'Raw Vegan Chocolate Molten Lava Cake', found on the Gluten-Free Vegan Girl blog. Even my most cynical of friends who doesn't believe you can call a cake a cake without butter, flour, sugar and eggs, was a convert. Yum-a-num! :)

My absolute favorite "recipe" is greens and beans, which is basically any sort of veg you like, sauteed in a pan, add generous heaps of greens, and mashed beans of some sort (white, black, blackeyed peas,etc) and some spices. Presto- lunch!! Always looking for something new, though! :)
dominika
August 7, 2013
just one recipe? nah, impossible. hm. maybe white bean burgers with balsamic vinegar dressing, portobello mashrooms grilled with lemon and parsley in a big home made buns with black cumin... or fava bean burgers with carmelised black olives... or tikka masala potatoes, marinated for few hours and than slowly baked and served with mint labneh... and this perfect summer bulgur salad with grilled eggplant, tomatoes, mint dressing and pomegranate. so hungry right now!

I've just made the move to vegetarianism in the last couple of months, and I love food and preparation as a result of it. I think my favourite thing is the amount of things you can make with nuts, especially "sour cream" found in The Green Kitchen taco recipe. And fried eggs with dates from the book "Veggiestan." yum.....

August 7, 2013
One of my favourite summer veggie recipes is from Heidi Swanson's "Super Natural Cooking". Its an asian-inspired dished called "Otsu", which in Japanese means, "something strange, quaint, stylish, chic, spicy or witty". Otsu is a bowl of buckwheat noodles tossed in a zesty ginger-sesame dressing, with tofu, cucumber slices, cilantro and green onions. In the summer I have it as a cool refreshing salad, in the winter eat it warm as a comforting meal. Now that I'm living in Copenhagen I add a scandi-twist to the dish by topping the noodles with Cress sprouts.

Thank you for the opportunity to win your book. I love your blog and the way of eating you present. My favorite vegetarian recipe during these hot days is definitely green salad with fresh veggies from our garden (lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber...) with garlic crutons and oil and balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

From Green kitchen stories I loved the rhuburb and strawberry lemonade and of course the World's Greates Vegetarian Lasagna. Myself, I also love to do a simple tomato-risotto, which is basically cooked like a normal risotto, but with water instead of stem and fresh tomatos (at least in the summer when they're tasty, in winter I prefer canned ones), fresh basil leaves and black olives. I've done this for years now and already passed the recipe on to many of my friends who loved it, too. Easy to make and always delicious, can hardly go wrong!

I love to cook vegetarian meals for my family. One of my family's favorite is a quinoa salad with lentils and fresh vegetables from the farmers market such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, green ognions, parsley. It changes according to the seasons and what I can find at the farmers market. Another favorite is a delicious frittata with shredded vegetables. They add grate flavor and color to a simple, but so delicious breakfast, lunch or diner. It is also great the next day for fast and healthy lunches.

My favorite veggie recipes are my breakfast porridges. I simmer whole grains (either oats or other rolled grains or pre-cooked grains like quinoa, millet, or rice) in almond milk with spices, fruit, toasted nuts or seeds, and possibly some honey or maple syrup. They keep me full for the entire morning and give me the fuel I need for my work-outs.

My favorite vegetarian dish would be any type of grain any veggie salad. I've recently been obsessed with bulgur wheat and made a salad of it with cubes, red onion, chick peas, red bell pepper, tomato and a cumin-lime vinaigrette. I didn't even want to share it with my hubby. I ate almost the entire bowl, I couldn't put my spoon down! :-)

Summer has finally reached the Netherlands. And when temperatures rise, we Dutchies tend to spend our evenings outdoors with our bbq’s in the park. For many people bbq is a an equivalent for meat, but I am proving everybody wrong. This summer my favourite vegetarian dishes from the grill are: Mexican-style grilled corn with coconut oil, garlic and lime & spicy black bean burgers with almond butter and oatmeal. And to cool down I make lots of frozen fruit cheesecake, inspired by GK, but with my own twist and already tried in many forms (for example with mango, pineapple, blood orange). Loved by many. And so good you won’t miss the meat. Thanks for the inspiration!
Abby
August 6, 2013
My favorite vegetarian dishes include black beans. Generally in taco-form. I saute whatever vegetables I have on hand, then stir in black beans (refried vegetarian if I have them) and lots of spices and peppers (oregano, cumin, cayenne, chipotle in adobo). I use this as the basis of the taco and pile on lots of cilantro.
Erica J.
August 6, 2013
Favorite vegetarian recipe for sure is just a simple pan of beet greens and cannelini beans, sauteed with olive oil and slivered garlic, topped with some pecorino romano cheese. Scooped up with crusty sourdough bread- it's perfect!
SitaSD
August 6, 2013
My favourite vegetarian recipe would have to be Indian yellow daal with steamed basmati rice. The daal sings, and the spices are balanced. The dish is filling, satisfying and delicious. It is also really simple to make once you know how. What more could you ask of a recipe!

My favourite vegetarian dished are ones that include vibrant colours. I love to puree beetroot and let it colour my rice pink. I love the verdant green of brussel sprouts and the vibrant orange of carrots.

i'm with @jessicakozlowski...i try to let the season's pickings inspire what winds up on the table. most recently, i've been grilling peaches sprinkled with sea salt, pepper and fresh sage. so yummy, whether part of a main dish with salad and other veggies, or even with home-made coconut milk vanilla ice cream.

August 6, 2013
Usually a combination of whatever is in season! My favorite is roasted root vegetables-this simple preparation of vegetables allows you to experience their flavor wholly. Currently for the summer though i have been making a lot of kale salads mixed with whatever else is coming up in our garden!

I have too many favorites, but if I must, it would be vegan tacos *I am a Mexivegan!
I use blue corn when available, if not, yellow corn tortillas. I prepare delicious fillings, a favorite one being cactus, portobello, kale, garlic, lemon and some black beans with a "suit to taste" using your preferred seasonings. I top with Mexican slaw *purple cabbage, green cabbage, finely shredded and some cilantro with more lime juice. Then top it off with tomatillo guacamole! All homemade, of course! SABROSO!

I absolutely love the World's Greatest Vegetable Lasagne - it truly is the best. I won't even think about a normal lasagne any more because GK's is so delicious and nutritious. So many layers of flavours! I can't help but add even more roasted vegetables and extra of the gorgeous lemon basil ricotta. It is amazing!

A big thank you to David, Luise and Elsa for their amazing recipes and inspiring blog. Everything I have made from their blog has been fantastic and I am particularly a fan of their Decadent Beetroot Chocolate Cake.
At the moment my favourite vegetarian recipe is a simple but tasty chickpea snack made from roasting cooked chickpeas with coriander seeds, turmeric, chilli powder and salt.
Thanks for the awesome post on healthy eating.

My number one favorite vegetarian dish will always be salad. Especially when the greens are super fresh and the vinaigrette is homemade. One of my new favorite recipes is Sarah Britton's Massaged Kale Salad with Poppy Seed dressing. Massaging kale makes such a difference! At the moment I'm preparing a kale slaw to stuff into baked sweet potatoes.

I top/sprinkle/drizzle sliced tomatoes (fresh from my garden, this time of year!) with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of sugar- then roast at 200 degrees. Every hour for about four hours, I turn the tomatoes. Then enjoy with fresh, crusty bread or in a frittata, with zucchini/squash noodles-- or pretty much anything! There are more details on my cooking blog here: http://eleganteating.me/2011/08/25/slow-roasted-tomatoes/

I like making a "rice" out of cauliflower or kohlrabi, pairing it with kimchi (can be made vegetarian by omitting the fish sauce) or sauerkraut, and some cooked beans.

My favorite is Korean Bibimbap, which I eat without eggs or beef. It's very wholesome, and with the leaves, sprouts, and douse of fermented spicy bean paste, very tasty!

I read David and Luise's blog often and love their recipes! I ate this salad all winter long last year, which provided some awesome variety and brightness to the long, dark winter nights in Vancouver. http://www.greenkitchenstories.com/winter-pumpkin-millet-salad/

I'm a huge fan of grains. One of our favorite meals is farro or quinoa with feta, basil, mint, toasted walnuts, and dried cherries. Sometimes we toss in some arugula. So filling. So yummy.

Crispy fried tofu smothered with teriyaki sesame sauce. I don't cook vegetarian often enough, this cookbook would be a great addition to my library.

Kudos! My favorite recipe of the moment is probably my Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower in West African Peanut Sauce with Wild Rice. :) http://goodveg.squidoo.com/recipes/entrees/roasted-carrots-cauliflower-with-west-african-peanut-sauce-and-wild-rice

Definitely the Spinach, Almond and Date Salad from Sami Tamimi's and Yotam Ottolenghi's "Jerusalem".
The flavour combination may seem unusual at first glance (at least for someone like me who cooks mostly classical European dishes), but together with the sumac and chillies it is magical.

I love 101 Cookbook's tofu burgers. They're so easy to make - just put everything in the food processor! - and taste good with any topping you can think of or crumbled up in a salad.

too many to begin to describe! i'll do two extremes...
on the simplicity end: smashed avocado + lemon + salt on toast
on the complex side: roasted veggie lasagna with cashew cheese, a balsamic reduction sauce, and blistered cherry tomatoes

My all-time favorite vegetarian dish is the mjeddrah an Iraqi friend's mother taught me to make - it's such a simple yet sultry combination of lentils, rice and sumptuous caramelized onions. It's humble but rich, and always so satisfying.

My favorite vegetarian recipe probably is Yotam Ottolenghi's fennel, feta, pomegranate and sumac salad. Or roasted carrots with zaatar and lemon.

Korma! It can be made with meat, but it is so hearty and rib sticking without it, you don't need to bother.

Spelt-crust pizza with garlic scape pesto, summer squash, fresh arugula, and locally-made chevre.... AMAZING!

Roast cauliflower or celeriac. Sprinkled with cumin, salt and olive oil. Some lemon juice before serving. I love it with a green salad and/or some thick yoghurt (spiked with some garlic, perhaps)

These days, it's a variation on this salad from Everybody Likes Sandwiches http://everybodylikessandwiches.com/2013/07/a-dinner-reminder-kale-millet-salad/. Tonight it's kale and quinoa, with fresh beets, cucumbers, potatoes and tomatoes from the garden and a bit of feta crumbled on top.

So hard to choose. I keep things simple most nights with a grain and bean salad. Choose a grain, a bean, two or three vegetables, and some kind of simple vinaigrette. Last night was farro, chickpeas, brussels sprouts, kale and shallots with a tahini vinaigrette.

I found a recipe for cauliflower and chickpea stew (in RealSimple - to give credit) and have modified it a bit: Saute 1 onion in some olive oil, when translucent add cumin, ginger and salt/pepper. Dump in a large can of tomatoes w liquid, a regular can of chickpeas (garbonzos) and about 1/2c of water. Put the cut up head of cauliflower in there and a handful of raisins for some sweetness. Bring to boil, then turn down and simmer about 20 mins. Finally - add some spinach or kale or chard for color - just until wilted. Serve over couscous or rice.

My mother's tomato sandwiches! Always with tomatoes from our garden, but simple with just some whole-grain bread, dijon mustard, homemade mayo, salt, and pepper. One bite and I'm transported back to childhood summers. I will definitely be making them for my children one day.
