"A vegetarian alternative to this Mexican favorite. My parents are a little leary of my non-meat dishes, but they love Mexican food. And this was a big hit. I was happy..."

Ingredients: chunky salsa, cumin...

"This is a very thick chili. The bulgur almost takes on the colour, form/texture of ground meat. Excellent with fresh bread and a garden salad or as a meal itself. Freezes/reheats well. From Meal Lean i Yumm!"

Ingredients: couscous, cumin, dried basil...

"Flavorful, filling, healthy and delicious, this is more colorful and interesting than basic beans and rice...kidneys, black beans, garbanzos, spices and a dollop of peanut butter make this dish awesome, and it's easy to make! Seems a bit thicker than a stew to me. Oh, and my toddler loves it!"

Ingredients: ground cumin, curry powder...

"These are a delight. I always make enough so there's leftovers for lunch the next day. Fast and tasty. Always nice to have a new vegetarian burger to try out."

Ingredients: eggs, garbanzo beans...

"Serve on crusty wholemeal rolls or pita bread, with lettuce and tomato.
Other raw, chopped vegetables can be substituted for the celery. Your
favorite salad dressing can be substituted for the mayo."

Ingredients: dried dill weed, garbanzo beans...

"This recipe was originally posted by Zenith. She is no longer active at Recipezaar, but I was and am a huge fan of her recipes, many of which are healthy and low-fat. I've made a close version of this before and it is good. Here are Zenith's original comments: "A quick and easy vegetarian chili. I don't remember where I got this recipe,..."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, dried basil...

"This healthy Moroccan tagine is delicious, with chickpeas, sweet potatoes and apricots. Even though I cook for two I make the full amount because, as with many such dishes, the leftovers are scrummy the next day. Originated with WW, developed by me ;) Spices are dried and ground, as tis winter - add more/less of them as pleases you."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cooking spray...

"This is the vegetarian version of a soup I recently posted. I made it up the other day and it is real comfort food. Hearty and healthy - it makes a big pot and that's a good thing as you'll want more than one bowl."

Ingredients: olive oil, onions...

"This is a Rachael Ray recipe that I've been dying to try. I love the taste of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) and they are so full of protein and good things. You can also spice it up a bit with a few dashes of ground cumin, curry powder, or cayenne pepper in the chickpea mixture."

Ingredients: diced green chilies, Dijon mustard...

"A vegetarian version of an African favorite. If you want to make it non-vegetarian, chunks of lamb or beef can be added. Just brown them with the onions."

Ingredients: cilantro leaves, diced tomatoes...

"This is a perfect vegetarian recipe. It is very tasty, very filling and easy to prepare.

Why not try cooking it in a tagine instead of a casserole dish..."

Ingredients: ground cumin, courgettes...

"This is a great alternative to meatloaf or burgers. You may need to play with the volume of bread crumb/oat/wheat germ to get desired consistency for forming into burgers. Only thing to remember is this timely to make from dried beans.

It tastes great and I am not vegetarian."

Ingredients: dried red kidney beans, summer squash...

"This is a bit different as it uses burghul. If you prefer you can substitute the burghul with brown rice but it will increase the GI. It will still remain within the low-GI range however. Australian measurements used."

Ingredients: ground cumin, corn kernels...
