Vegetarian comfort food

[janeite]

I am cold and I have been ill and off my food. I now feel like eating.

What would be lovely and comforting and veggie?

Things I have thought of already:

soup
jacket potatoes
cauliflower cheese

Thank you

risotto
my lovely stew that I had for lunch

yum

Mashed potato (with grated cheese?)

How did you make your lovely stew Tommy?

Mashed potato sounds good Norbert!

mashed potato with melted cheese , just finished some left over from last night
veg sausage sandwich , with lots of brown sauce
cheese on toast

lovely stew:

onion, carrot, potato, parsnip, swede - cubed - the same quantity of each. Tin of tomatoes, some veggie stock, a spoon of marmite, a bay leaf and some green lentils

bring to boil then simmer til veggies are just right. Lovely with dumplings

Macaroni cheese too.

Veggie Sausage and Mash

Followed by bananas and custard

mushroom risotto - the ultimate veggie comfort food

Yum - can feel my tastebuds waking up again.

Thanks Tommy - stew sounds good but I am trying to avoid the overuse of tinned tomatoes, as I'm not very fond of them. LOVE swede though.

That pasta thing sounds great MotherFlippin - do you just fry the leeks until browned?

I made stew and dumplings on sunday night on the recommendation of a friend and it was lovely. It was so easy to do too.

You could leave out the tinned toms. I added kidney beans to mine too.

Angelsey eggs.
Nest of mashed potato and leeks - fill with hardboiled eggs - top with cheese sauce and grated cheese. Herbs are nice in it too - especially rosemary.

Roast sweet potatoes, roast peppers and onions and a yoghurty dip for them.

Macaroni Cheese

Falafels

These all sound great. Any more folks?

cheese omelette

baked beans, cheese and mashed potatoe.

Not healthy. Not exciting. But comforting!

Agh - I don't "do" baked beans - they make me squirm! Sorry!

It's okay. More for me!

But I'd second the risotto thing too.

I have been sick and when I am poorly but just getting my apetite back I eat mash potato with cheese.

Yesterday, after starting to recover from my bug, DH bought me butternut squash risotto and cheesey mash from sainsbury's. YUM

What's your favourite risotto?

Ultimate comfort - blue cheese risotto. Mmmmmm. It does need a salad like rocket though, or it's just too much.

My favourite is roasted butternut squash. But I also love Nigella's lemon risotto. And I have recently done courgette and spinach a few times and found them excellent.

I think Mushroom risotto is over-rated.

Another veggie comfort food for me is pasta with pesto and roasted tomatoes. I add avo and goats cheese if I have it.
