Everyday Vegetarian Recipes

There's nothing better than a homemade meal. So, when you're not eating one of ours, here are some you can make yourself:

  • Our everyday recipes are money-saving and easy to prepare, but still delicious.

Buttery cheese and tomato mini pizzas recipeThese simple to make mini pizzas are adored by children, who may like to get involved in rolling out the pastry and adding the topping. Flakey pastry together with simple cheese and tomato, a real favourite for the whole family.

Chocolate plum cake with almonds recipeThis simple to make old fashioned recipe creates a cake with a moist rich texture. We bake the cake with a good quality chocolate, the end result can be served as a dessert with honey and fresh cream. It is also excellent simply served with coffee.

Orange and pistachio cake recipeThis is simple to make and has a course texture and deep nutty flavour. It is delicious as a plain cake or can be seeped with the orange juice and a little sugar then warmed up and served with a tahini and orange cream.

Pear and Bramley crumble recipeBy lightly caramelising fresh apple and pear in a little butter, sugar and honey the flavour of these staple ingredients really stands out. A really crunchy granola topping adds a wonderful texture to this British comfort dessert.

Red onion and cheddar bubble and squeak recipeMaking bubble and squeak always grabs our three year son's attention, as he associates the name with pirates!!

Adding the red onion and cheddar turns what is essentially fried mashed potato, carrots and cabbage into a worthy main dish. This is particularly delicious with green tomato chutney.

Vegetarian 'toad in the hole' recipeI recently made this for the family and visiting nippers and made the cardinal sin of forgetting the mash potato! One of the greatest comfort foods from the British Isles,why should vegetarians miss out! Vegetarian sausages have improved massively over the last 10 years and certainly beat some of the mass produced supermarket varieties.

 

Veggie sausages with sage and mature cheddar recipeMost veggie sausages contain Textured Vegetable Protein or TVP. This is not a problem, but these sausages have a more natural texture and a greater depth of flavour. This recipe can be made vegan by omitting the cheese. These sausages are best shallow fried.
