Vegetarian Stuffed Dumplings + Caraway Cabbage

Although I have not been a practicing vegetarian for several years,  I am always on the lookout for vegetarian dishes as they are a healthier and more socially responsible alternative.

I was pleased to find recipes for the above posted by The Chubby Vegetarian featuring dumplings made with tofu, carrots, celery, green peas and spices in wonton wrappers served with cooked cabbage with red pepper, garlic, caraway, and Apple Cider vinegar sounds like a flavorful and filling meal intend to try some time.

For the recipe, visit The Chubby Vegetarian.

Vegetarian Sausage

I love Morningstar Farms vegetarian sausages much better than actual sausage so have been on the prowl to try to find a good recipe. I didn't realize until I started searching that there were so many different options.

Suite 101 has an Easy Vegetarian Sausage using large mushrooms - I have had a portobello fajita before and it was hard to distinguish from steak, so it might have possibilities for faux sausage.

Annabel Karmel has a Vegetarian Sausage  recipe using breadcrumbs, onions and courgette.  I had never heard of  "courgette" so I had to look it up and per Wikipedia is Zucchini.

The Veggie Table has a recipe that is tofu based.

Cooks.com has a one that used one using texturized vegetable protein that seems like it would have more of the texture of sausage.









They all sound fairly easy to make - the hardest part will be figuring out which one to try first!
