40+ Vegetarian Week Recipes for Everyday Cooking

May 17, 2016 by Sarah Trivuncic

40+ Vegetarian Week Recipes for Everyday Cooking - starters, soups, appetisers and main courses for family friendly meals with easy steps and everyday ingredients

May 16-20 2016 heralds National Vegetarian Week so I have scoured my archives and those of my food blogging friends to pull out over 50 (yes it’s more than the image says, I got carried away) – mostly savoury – vegetarian recipes.

50+ Vegetarian Week Recipes to Cook Everyday

Of course the majority of sweet recipes on here are also vegetarian or easily adapted as so but I wanted to create a list of non sweet recipes to highlight that cake and dessert is not all we do here.

It’s a long term aim of mine to adapt more recipes from the archives as vegan, gluten free, dairy free etc but that’s a much bigger project. In the meantime I share with you my favourite blogged vegetarian recipes dating back to 2009 and sorted into themes….

Dips and Appetizers

Various types of hummus are a favourite of mine – I tend to make hummus in the Magimix whereas I might make pesto in a mini food processor and soup in a Vitamix. It’s all about using the best tool for the job! My hummus and dip recipes use a mix of dried and canned pulses and watch out for a brand new hummus recipe in the next few days.

  • White Bean Hummus
  • Beetroot Salsa Tortilla Dip
  • Cannellini Bean Dip
  • Baked Almond and Chickpea Falafels
  • Lime and Coriander Hummus
  • Sweet Potato and Lime Hummus

Soups

Soup is a family favourite for Saturday lunch times. I often make my soups from vegetables I already have roasted from previous meals or blend them raw in the Vitamix.

  • Roast Tomato Pepper Soup
  • Vitamix Pea Soup
  • 15 Minute Black Bean Soup
  • Spicy Raw Cavolo Nero Soup
  • Quick Butternut Chestnut Soup

    Wow, this is brilliant. I love so many of these recipes and it’s always great to have ideas for future entertaining and catering jobs. I think I’ll start with your cauliflwer biryani, my fave!
