Vegetarian Recipes

A large number of people do not eat meat of any kind in any form, including dishes cooked with animal fats or by-products. Recipe alternatives to meat are provided below. There are also many side dishes accompanying Thanksgiving dinner, so vegetarians are not likely to go hungry.


 

Almond Gravy

  • 2 C water

  • 1/2 C almonds, ground

  • 2 TBS cornstarch

  • Onion powder

  • Salt to taste

Blend all ingredients well in a food processor; transfer to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick. Dilute with more water if necessary. Note: Serve with baked vegetable dishes.

  • 2-3 apples, peeled & sliced

  • 1/4 C brown sugar

  • 2 pats of margarine

  • Dash of nutmeg

  • Dash of salt (optional)

  • Aluminum foil

Slice the acorn squash in half; scrape out the seeds and strings. Place face down in casserole pan filled with 1/2-inch of water; bake at 350-degrees F for about ten to fifteen minutes. While the squash is steaming, peel and slice the apples; place in a bowl and mix in the brown sugar. Remove squash from the oven; place face-up and fill the cavities with the apple mixture. Add a pat of margarine and a dash of nutmeg to each squash half. Cover loosely with aluminum foil; bake until apples and squash are soft, approximately another thirty minutes. Serve.

Microwave sweet potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2"-thick slices. Grease a 1-1/2-quart casserole dish; arrange half of the sweet potato slices on bottom. Drizzle with half of the margarine, then half of the maple syrup. Top with the apple slices. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and cloves; repeat layers and pour apple juice over the top.
