Does anybody please have any ideas/recipes for:

  1. veggie dishes that can be done in a slow cooker
  2. veggie dishes that can be frozen
  3. veggie pies or tarts

Many thanks.

We made spinach and cheese-filled boreks yesterday with filo pastry, they were delicious and it stated in the recipe that they could be frozen up to 3 months. Boreks are a lot like spanakopita and you can do a pie version of the dish rather than little wrapped parcels -- so that's an idea for both (2) and (3)!

Got our recipes from the excellent book 'Vegetarian dishes from the middle east' by Arto de Haroutunian, and there are loads of other fillings including aubergine, pumpkin, yogurt and courgette, veggies & herbs etc. : www.amazon.co.uk/Vegetarian-Dishes-Middle-East-Haroutunian/dp/1902304810

But you can find borek / spanakopita recipes online by googling too?

Hope that helps

Lovely - thank you. Not desperately fond of spinach, except raw in salads - do you reckon I could do a feta and red onion version instead?

Or feta and leek or asparagus.

I have a nice veggie chickpea stew type hting that freezes.
And a sausage casserole. Qorn sausages.

I don't know of any slow cooker ones.

What about frittatta?

Veggie meals I freeze up in batches:

Root veggie stew/soup (can be done in slow cooker as well)
Vegetable lasagne
Home made pasta sauce
Veggie shepherds/cottage pie (made with quorn or releat veggie mince)
Vegetable curry
Butternut squash soup

To do veggie soup/stew in a slow cooker just bung in whatever veg you want to use add stock (I use kallo veggie stock cubes) and you're away.

There are a few veggie slow cooker recipes here

Slow Cooker Veggie Chilli

Veggie Comfort Pie

Slow Cooker Vegetable and Chickpea Curry

I have a recipe for pea tart somewhere, which is lovely.

Basically - a shortcrust pastry case, which you bake blind, then a filling which is cooked peas, blitzed with single cream and then parmesan sprinkled on the top.

Can post details if you're interested?

Great ideas, thanks all.

I cook chickpea stews a lot but never thought of freezing them.

Pea tart sounds good too.

Sorry, should have said that the spinach and cheese fillings are two seperate fillings -- so spinach is mainly spinach and onion with lemon (could substitute other veg I think?) and the cheese is cheese (I used feta and cheddar mix but halloumi or others would be good) with egg, chopped parsley, nutmeg and salt and pepper.

That pea tart sounds tasty!

Even better! Thank you.

Any more?
