Best simple but delicious veggie recipes?

[sticklebrickstickle]

I have a friend coming to stay for a week, she's not veggie but I am so she will be eating veggie whilst here and I want to show her veggie food can be delicious.

However my repetoire of veggie meals is probably quite repetitive (Italian style tomato-based sauces feature a lot!) plus I eat quite a lot of pasta whivh she isn't keen on. I'm struggling to think of 7 tasty meals that won't seem too samey but also won't take an age to prepare and cook.

I need some inspiration so can anybody share their favourite veggie meals, ideally something pasta free and which won't require me to spend hours in the kitchen.

Thanks! :)

I always post this amazing Caribbean stew it's tasty, quirky and goes well with a slice of crusty sourdough or, if you can be bothered, cornmeal dumplings. Don't be put off by the slightly strange combinations, it honestly works! I use canned kidney beans though!

I am about to go and make my take on Malay rice.

Boil some rice and chuck some beans and peas in with it while it boils. In a saute pan fry some quorn chunks, mushrooms, onion, garlic and cashew nuts.
Mix in the rice and peas, add a couple of spoons of curry powder a little paprika and some soy sauce. If you want to you can also pre boil a couple of eggs to chop up and stir in.

There is a delicious red lentil and cauliflower curry recipe in Sainsbury's one pot cookbook. Always goes down well with the whole family. We are trying to eat more veggie meals, trying to do 2 or more a week. Risotto's are good and not too tomatoe-y. The same book has a broad bean risotto which is also yummy and cooks in the oven so nice and easy. My fave really quick veggie meal is courgette pasta, but that's pasta so not v helpful!
