8 Simple & Satisfying Vegetarian Meals

8 Simple & Satisfying Vegetarian Dinners

What's for dinner? The question never stops being asked or needing to be answered!

If you're a vegetarian, or just really like eating that way (like I do), it can be especially easy to fall into the same defaults: breakfast-for-dinner, soup, pasta, tacos.

Many of the recipes in today’s line-up do align with those fallback meals – nothing wrong with what works! But these recipes are also creative and different enough to break you out of whatever rut you might be in, like Stacked Veggie Enchiladas, a simple Asparagus Frittata, and Veggie Tacos with Zucchini.

We've also thrown in a few additional vegetarian recipes that maybe you haven't thought of yet! I’m looking at you, Tomato Pie.

Vegetables add dimension and flavor to any recipe, so what's not to love? Let's get excited about veggies in our dinner tonight!

Braised Pork Belly in Honey-Tamarind Sauce

While watching these slabs of pork belly boiling in the pan, I envisioned it smothered in thick sauce. So an on-the-spot recipe was born at that instant. I proceeded to brown the pork belly then rushed to Google a recipe for a tamarind-based sauce. Inspired by the recipe I found, I made some twist by adding ingredients my eyes laid on in the fridge and in the cupboard. Not bad for an experimental recipe...

So here's my Braised Pork in Honey-Tamarind Sauce

Ingredients

4 medium size pork belly slabs

1/4 cup tamarind paste or concentrate

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoon Mirin

1/4 cup tomato catsup

2 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cloves garlic

Water

Salt and pepper to taste

How to Cook Braised Pork in Honey-Tamarind Sauce

In a pan, brown each side of the pork belly.

Combine all other ingredients in a food processor then blend until smooth.

Add water to the pork belly and bring to a boil then add the blended sauce.

Simmer until desired softness of the pork belly and thickness of the sauce.

Make flavor adjustments to suit your taste.

Serve with rice.

When I made this recipe, I just threw in the ingredients without measuring them. I just tasted what I was cooking from time to time until I got my desired flavor. The measurement here are just guides for the recipe. You can also create your own twist by adding seasoning or ingredients that will enhance the flavor of the pork belly. Enjoy!

It is called differently but basically it still is teh same style of cooking as the Philippines was a former colony. While fish, is the most popular kinilaw, other seafood are made kinilaw as well like oysters and shrimps, among others

Another method of preparation is first to soak the shrimps in vinegar for around 30 minutes. While waiting combine all the other ingredients in a bowl (with another set of vinegar) and season it to your desired taste. When done, strain the shrimps from the other vinegar bowl and place it on the new vinegar bowl.

Happy Memorial Day! What are you making today?! Just in case you need some inspiration, here are some recipes from this past week that you might like! Enjoy! Emma, Managing Editor P.S. Did you check out our YouTube channel last week?!

Texas Sheet Cake

by Cindy Rahe

Have you ever had Texas Sheet Cake? It's made up of a thin layer of moist chocolate cake topped with a layer of warm, poured chocolate icing and sprinkled with pecans — an easy, unfussy cake to make for a crowd!

Boneless pork chops seem to be a popular grilling option during summer because they are always available and are easy to season and toss on a hot fire.

But they also tend to dry out quickly and are easy to overcook.

That's why I love this Citrus Brined Pork Chop recipe! The salty sweet brine keeps the pork chops really tender and moist, even if you do accidentally overcook them a few degrees.

I think we've all seen cocktails that get out of hand with creativity, and we’ve probably all encountered when a margarita gets a bit too crazy.

I’m thinking about margaritas made with wonky ingredients like bubblegum, fish sauce, or chocolate. I think the worst I ever saw was a dill-passionfruit flavored "margarita" where the tequila was swapped out for vodka.

Vodka! Can you imagine?!

When it comes to warm weather desserts, there are a few very key considerations:

1. You don't want something that's going to get gooey or wilt in some way—it can be surprisingly warm on Memorial Day weekend!

2. You want something that's easily portable, so fancy things that are perishable, delicate or have elaborate toppings are probably out of the question, too.

3. All that, and it’s got to be delicious and eye-catching, too — right?!

I have a soft spot in my heart for dairy-free ice cream—and not because I can't have dairy. My family and I eat our fair share of cheese, sour cream, and yes, real ice cream, too.

But I actually prefer ice cream made with coconut milk over ice cream made with eggs and dairy any day of the week. I love the flavor and natural sweetness of coconut milk, and think it really shines when made into ice cream.

If you've never made dairy-free ice cream before, you're in for a treat: it doesn't require much in the way of fancy ingredients.
