Are you looking for non-dairy options? These are some of my favourties:
- sliced avocado & tomato (drizzled with olive oil)
- walnut & sundried tomato pate (toasted walnuts whizzed up with some sundried tomatoes)
- baba ganoush (smoky aubergine dip - there is a good recipe on the BBC website, sorry the site won't let me post the link as I am a newbie!)
- tofu or Quorn marinaded overnight in something tasty (marinades could be anything you fancy, eg curry paste, yoghurt & mint, soy sauce & ginger)
- veggie burgers with tomato relish
- veggie sausage with onion marmalade - I like the Linda McCartney ones best, often half-price at our Coop for not more than a pound.

If you like cheese - there are lots more good options:
- feta, olive, tomato
- mozzarella, tomato & basil
- halloumi & baba ganoush
- goat cheese & roasted pepper
- cheddar & apple
etc etc

I make a simple carrot salad which goes well in sandwiches, especially with a mature cheddar:
Grate a large carrot, then dry-fry half a teaspoon of caraway seeds, half a teaspoon of cumin seeds and a tablespoon of sunflower seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan, just for a couple of minutes, until the seeds start to brown. Then mix the seeds through the grated carrot.

Have fun experimenting!

Those are brilliant ideas, thanks

I have some veggie books at home (It's currently a misspelling of quite at work) so let me see what I can find you tonight!

So really you want vegan recipes not vegetarian

How about making up some soup and putting it in a flask?
Take some granary bread with you to dunk in

Butternut squash
Mushroom
Minestrone
Vegetable
Celery
Parsnip and apple
Curried parsnip etc

Thanks BB Both veggie and vegan would be nice, just for a bit of variety

Take a block of feta (lidl and aldi do nice ones) and get a jar of pickled peppers (I think a pound or so, but only in lidl). Stick the whole block of feta in the food processor with a drizzle of olive oil then add one of the peppers and blitz it. Add a clove of garlic if you like. Makes a really good dip, or delicious sandwich filling.

Nut spread such as this https://web.archive.org/web/20120128091945/http://www.cheap-family-recipes.org.uk/recipe-walnutbutter.html?opt=p3m1
Bean pate https://web.archive.org/web/20120128091940/http://www.cheap-family-recipes.org.uk/recipe-tangybeanpate.html?opt=p3m1
Veggie burgers
Veggie sausages
Roasted vegetables
Veggie deli slices (although these aren't cheap)
Dairy free cheeses (you can make vegan cheeses including nut cheeses yourself - look online)
Tofu (you can buy smoked/marinated and have with salad and houmous)
Nut/lentil roast can be used in sandwiches - just slice it and have with veg/salad, maybe some sage and onion stuffing and maybe ketchup or houmous to give it a little moisture.
Left over veggie fajita mix or simular - you can have in sandwiches or do as a wrap cold.

Tartex (veggie pate) used to be a favourite of mine but has been ages since I've tried to find it so not sure if it's still available.

Hi Oyster Catcher

Yes, it is still available. I bought some two weeks ago at Holland & Barrett. Original version and some others on the shelf, such as mushroom. I love it!

A little offbeat - grated carrot, a few raisins, wholegrain mustard all mixed up.

Got this from a French lady at her fruit and veg stall many years ago - finely chopped red onion mixed with avocado (part mashed, part chunks) and seasoned with a little salt and pepper is delicious. Adjust amounts to suit your tastes. For fish eaters, this blends really well with tuna.
