3437.0. "Meat substitute dishes please" by PISMO::JANCO_DE () Wed Jan 29 1992 12:40

    Hi,
    
    I'm not sure if this is the right notes file to place this in, but my       
    boyfriends daughter has decided that she doesn't want to eat meat of 
    any kind. Now I know meat provides protein and other vitamins that the
    body needs. Does anyone out there have any recipes that would provide
    the necessary vitamins she needs??? She has given up eating fish and 
    chicken too!!!! Also she is only 13 and still growing, I don't want
    her to deprive herself of the vitamins that she needs. 
    
    Thanks

    Various kinds of lentils, pulses  and grains will provide the essential
    protein in a veg. diet.

    For a person making the transition, veggie burgers can ease the
    discomfort.  They can be delicious in their own way.
    
    You can get them ready made in cans in the health food store.
    You can also buy boxed mixes in the health food store.
    
    Most veggie cookbooks have one or more recipes, comprised of beans,
    grains, nuts, and mashed or chopped vegetables, or some combination of
    the above, sometimes with the addition of egg.  (Not all vegetarians
    eat eggs.)  Ditto cheese.
    
    Back in the hippie heyday, round about '69, I visited some folks in
    Cambridge, Mass.  The lady of the household showed me this one.  All
    quantities are very approximate.  Just to give you an idea.
    
    In a blender, grind each of the following ingredients one by one,
    dumping them into a large bowl before grinding the next one.
    
       - 1 cup walnuts
       - 4 slices whole wheat bread (more if using the airy kind)
       - 1/2 green pepper
       - 1/2 onion
       - 1 egg
    
    Season with pepper and mix well to blend.  Either form into burgers and
    sautee in a small amount of oil, or brown in oil while stirring to
    break up lumps.  You can use this to make sloppy joes or fill stuffed
    peppers.
    
    From the days of VW vans, incense, Indian print bedspreads, bead
    curtains, hash pipes, and dinner in a wooden bowl. . . 
    
    Play the Grateful Dead for mood music.

3437.4TOFU!!REGENT::GARROWTue Feb 04 1992 13:188
    Nobody mentioned TOFU....easy to cook, low calorie and high in calcium.
    It does take some getting use to the texture.  Pick up a tofu cookbook
    for her and if she's serious she should be the one doing the reading
    and cooking...
    
    Good luck....

3437.5Thanks for the info!!!!BALBOA::JANCO_DETue Feb 04 1992 16:0916
    
    
    Thanks for all of the info so far....I've looked into the veggie
    notes file. They have some good info in that file. I do agree with
    .4. I've already told her that if this veggie thing was something
    that she was serious about that it would be up to her to get educated
    on all the facts and be able to prepare her own food. I have this
    feeling that when she finds out the things that she is going to have to 
    eat to supplement her diet, she may have a change of heart. She is not
    a fan of beans, tofu or nuts....
    I am still interested in vegetable dishes though so fi you have them
    I'd appreciate them!!!!
    
    Thanks
