Hi. Potatoes do contain a small amount of protein, and as long as the diet is varied then you shouldn't be missing out.
This site has some great veggie/vegan recipes, healthy and cheap.

If anyone is concerned about protein in their diet this is taken from the Vegan Society's website: Vegan Sources of Protein
The foods which commonly supply the most protein in a vegan diet are pulses (peas, beans, lentils, soya products), grains (wheat, oats, rice, barley, buckwheat, millet, pasta, bread), nuts (brazils, hazels, almonds, cashews) and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame).

Similiar ingrediaents but a different outcomes, using moanymoany's "recipe."moanymoany wrote: »Take potatoes - cut into cubes and dry.
Chop one onion into rounds. Splat one garlic clove and a bit of ginger, if available, with a knive
take cumin, same amount of coriander seed and heat in frying pan, then grind in pestle and mortar.
fry the potato in oil till beginning to cook, set aside.
Fry onion gently in oil, ghee, butter until it starts to caramelise. Add ginger and spices, stir one minute, add the garlic, then a good pinch of tumeric and fry for a minute, avoiding letting the tumeric catch in the pan. Put the partly cooked potatoes back in and add a little water, stock, tomato juice or a couple of chopped tomatoes. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are fully cooked, making sure the spices do not taste uncooked.
Put rice on to boil. Serve the potatoes on the rice
but chapattis or nan is better.
This one is better on a gas cooker on a very low light with a heat diffusermoanymoany wrote: »
Take very small (chat) potatoes (the ones that you dug up and are to small to boil or peel) - scrub and dry
Cut one onion into small dice. Dry fry a little cumin and grind. Fry the onion gently in plenty of oil, then add the spice and a tsp of tumeric. Add the potatoes to the spiced oil, stir occasionally to disturb the potatoes and cook very gently till nice and brown. The onion, spices and oil form a caramelised sauce.

You could of course fry the rice briefly before adding the water to make a pilau and then garnish with sliced fried onions and whole cumin and mustard seeds.The person who has not made a mistake, has made nothing0 -
use half this recipe as a topping for spaghetti and keep half to use the next day in a bake, it can also be used to fill baked potatoes
1 tbsp oil
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 large carrot finely diced
100g mushrooms chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
250g can chopped tomatoes
50g bulgar wheat
1 tbsp soy sauce
heat the oil and fry the onion garlic and carrot for 5 mins, then add the mushrooms and cook for 5 more mins. add the remaining ingredients and pour in 200 ml water and bring to the boil. simmer, covered, for 15 mins.
i tried this and it wasnt bad but i didnt like the bulgar wheat i think it would have been better without it, or with lentils instead.
the 'bake' recipe is use half the above sauce, in a casserole dish. cover with 1 thinly sliced tomato and 25g grated cheese. then top with 200g potato sliced. brush with oil / marg and bake at 200c for 30 mins0 -
Hi
Does anyone have a simple recipe for vegetarian sausages (not cheesy ones) please? I've googled and googled and beginning to despair...... I've tried the granose mix from Holland and Barrett but found it to be too soft - nothing like sausage texture. I quite like the cauldron sausages but apart from being expensive are very salty.
ThanksNorthernlights0 -
