Need more vegetarian precooking recipes

[tarnschaf]

Hi KKF,
i would appreciate your help and get some recipes i can precook.

Must be vegetarian, stocks can be meat based, got freezer. Can be "dips / sauce" to put over veggies and carbs or full meal.

I had some mixed results with blanched veggies in the fridge. Working thesis is a lot of fungal spores are up at this season.

Thanks

Cheers

Try this. Think of components you can prep that come together in a few minutes

I'd look into Indian cuisine. It's IMO the best cuisines when it comes to vegetarian dishes because many of the dishes always were vegetarian (instead of trying to make a vegetarian version of a meat-based disH), and a lot of stuff like curries and dahls keep and reheat quite well.
Honestly if you're thinking of pre-prepping veggies to use later I'd probably just opt for frozen stuff instead.

Things I like to freeze:
Lentil bolognese with walnuts or even just a simple tomato sauce (tomato, onion, celery, carrots).
Chili without meat.
And yes, all sorts of indian dishes. Dal, curry, biryani, khichdi.
Hummus

For summer weekday, I usually do a two bean salad / pasta (kidney bean / chickpeas).

There are a lot of recipes, but for me it was essentially pico de gallo, some sort of macaroni and kidney beans + chickpeas. Variations on this is near infinite so up to you and what you have available locally best.

Best part is next day don't even need to warm it up. just take out of fridge and eat with bread.

Can also freeze/put in fridge pesto.

Any number of soups freeze really well. Lentil, pea, potato and leek, etc. Various bakes are suitable, too. Macaroni and cheese, cauliflower bake, lasagne. Even pizza will work, although it's never quite as good as freshly baked.

Various dips work as well. Hummus, romesco, skordalia, and baba ganoush all freeze well. And romesco also doubles up as a pasta sauce.

Sauté veggies like carrot, onion, celery, even potato, or whatever hearty veggies you like. Mix with beans, quinoa, barley, or other grains you like. You can mix the beans and grain as well. I like to cook these in chicken stock. Easy to adjust flavor profiles depending on spices and herbs used from simple to Mexican to Middle Eastern, etc.

I spoon the mixture into serving-sized deli containers and freeze. Freezes nicely and easy to thaw. I'll pull out a container out of the freezer before I go to bed and take it for lunch the next day.

This is a great end of the week fridge sweep too.

Are eggs okay? A veggie-loaded frittata freezes up nicely too.

Hey, yeah eggs are fine as is seafood and fish. The problem with meat seems to be consistency / texture, but thats besides the point.
Keep it coming :>

Question is, what do you want? There're as many vegetarian dishes as animal flesh dishes that freeze well. FWIW, if meat stock is used, it's not vegetarian.

A few days ago I cooked a vegetarian supper party—vegan dashi was an awesome kitchen friend.

A few vegetarian dishes that freeze well (recipes galore on internet and in books):
>> chana masala (chole)
>> saag for (saag paneer)
>> dal
>> most vegetarian soups (Moroccan harira)
>> pesto
>> zh'ug
>> any spice mix
>> tofu
>> congee (jook)

>> I never freeze cooked vegetables

It’s summer time. Make sesame sauce to dress room temp spaghetti noodles. It freezes awesome

Here’s another that’s great to have in the fridge. I often use a heaping tablespoon of mustard instead of the paltry amount he calls for. Great both ways

Get good quality lentils
