It is common belief that low calorie and vegetarian recipes have to challenge your palate. The truth is, however, they can be just as delicious as your favorite dishes. Now, I am about to share with you two such recipes, and you can just give them a try to convince yourself.
1. Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers
For this recipe, you will need:
* 1 can of black beans
* 1/2 of an onion
* 1/2 cup of flour
* 2 slices of bread
* 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon of onion powder
* 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
* salt and pepper
Follow the steps below for cooking:
a) Dice the onion, then saute it for about 4 or 5 minutes until soft.
b) Get a large bowl and put in the black beans. Mash them until they almost get smooth.
c) Add the sauteed onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt to the black beans.
d) Crumble up the sliced bread and add them to the mixture.
e) Add the flour to the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time and stirring after each addition.
f) Add a small amount of oil into a frying pan, and heat it up.
g) Use your hands to scoop some of the mixture out of the bowl, and shape it into a pattie that is about 1/2 thick.
h) Fry the patties until they are firm.
Give it a try, and you will definitely love the taste of the burgers.
2. Tofu Scramble
If you have ever tried vegetarian diet, you will know that tofu is always used as a meat substitute. And, the tofu scramble which we are about to try can be served as a wonderful substitute for scrambled eggs.
You need these ingredients:
* 1 block of tofu, drained and press
* 1/2 yellow onion
* 1/2 green pepper
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
* 2 teaspoons oil or margarine
Follow these steps to cook:
a) Cut the tofu into one inch cubes, and crumble it slightly with a fork.
b) Dice the onion and bell pepper.
c) Add some oil or margarine to a skillet, and set the heat to medium-high.
d) Add the onion, green pepper and tofu to the skillet. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes.
e) Add to the skillet with garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast.
f) Cook the tofu scramble for 6 or 7 minutes, stirring frequently. When it is done, pour onto a plate and enjoy.
You may also add your favorite vegetables to this tofu scramble, just as what you may do with scrambled eggs. Some common choices include tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and carrots.
If you just give a try to these two recipes, you will be convinced that low calorie and vegetarian recipes do not have to be bland or boring. In fact, there are thousands of vegetarian dishes out there that are tasty, easy to make, and yet good for your health.
