Quick Vegetarian Recipes

Quick Vegetarian Recipes

Two quick vegetarian recipes are Easy Tofu Fingers and Boiled Sweet Potato.  These two recipes are very simple to make and require few ingredients. The two can also be served together.

Easy Tofu Fingers
The Easy Tofu Fingers require one package of firm tofu, seasoning, oil for frying and Catalina, Thousand Island or Blue Cheese dressing. The total seasoning can be one to two tablespoons depending on the flavor sought but do not overdo it. Take the tofu and slice into fingers about the size of the pinkie finger.

Put the seasonings in a clean bowl that has a fitted cover. Then add the fingers, cover the bowl and shake so that the seasoning can cover all the fingers. Let the tofu sit for about fifteen minutes. Heat a frying pan and then add the vegetable oil or olive oil of choice. Add the tofu fingers and fry until golden brown on all sides.

Put the fried tofu on a napkin so that the excess oil can be drained. The tofu fingers can be served with a green salad, potato salad or with rice. The fingers can be dipped in the dressing or served with the dressing on top.

Boiled Sweet Potato
Firstly do not mix up the yams that are served as candied yeam with the actual potatoes that are naturally sweet. This recipe only requires the three or four medium sized sweet potatoes and water for boiling. The sweet potato can be cooked in the skin but for this recipe, wash and peel them.

Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil until a fork can push through easily. Remove the potatoes from water and slice with a knife. The potato should be served warm and can be a great accompaniment to fish, other seafood or any meat.

Cooking vegetarian no longer has to be boring and simple recipes like Boiled Sweet Potato or Easy Tofu Fingers are tasty and quick to prepare.
