Anyone have any?

We're having a potluck at work and we have to make a vegitarian dish because one of the co-workers is a vegetarian. But I am clueless when it comes to vegitarian dishes or easy vegetarian dishes.

Anyone have an ideas??

That chili sounds awesome.

This website has a lot of recipes, with varying degrees of difficulty.

I made this once. It was delicious and surprisingly easy. Just be aware that rolling it out and dividing it up into individual dumplings is time consuming. I made the gnocchi the night before and kept them in the fridge. Then I boiled them and sauteed them with olive oil and sage the next day.

Veggie chilli, veggie curry (I just posted a recipe on doberluvs thread lol), soups, baked potatoes, Veg thai curry is lovely and dead easy - just buy thai paste, veg (sweet potato, onion, whateverrrr), coconut milk, a bit of sugar and if she eat fish a splash of fish sauce (if not, it's no biggie) and voila. Just make sticky rice (google it, I never make it). Take a couple off naan breads to dip, and Robert's your mothers brother ;)

Or just take nibbles. Everyone loves finger food ;)

Eggplant parmessan. SERIOUSLY. soooo delicious.

Slice, dip eggplant in buttermilk and then bread crumbs, and then fry. Then layer it like you would a lasagna with tomato sauce and cheese, using the eggplant in place of lasagna noodles. Eat.

I'm totally planning on making that for Christmas... even though I just had it for Thanksgiving.

One trick to remember with eggplant is to slice it ahead of time, sprinkle it with salt and lay it on a paper towel for about 10-15 minutes, turn it over and do the other side, then rinse it before using it.

Or just a straight up vegetarian lasagne.

Macaroni and cheese? Make it special by using a different cheese, edam, gouda, havarti, farmer's cheese . . . Beat a couple of eggs and whisk them into the cheese sauce, quickly, before you pour it over the macaroni and bake it.

Or a rice and cheese casserole, basically the same way you'd make macaroni and cheese, add some chopped vegetables to the rice.

I was just talking with some veggie friends of mine about how everything veggie is made with eggplant and how we don't know anyone who likes it :D

I'm not vegetarian or anything, but I totally would eat that sweet potato chili. I love sweet potatos! Surprisingly.. I have never had eggplant. Just not my thing. LOL

Yah kinda forgot to add this step :p Although, tbh, it didn't make much of a difference. I didn't even let it sit for that long, I got impatient.

Then again, I sit there and eat eggplant raw :lol-sign:
