5 Cheap & Easy Vegetarian Dinners - Tacos, Lasagna, Korma, Burger, & Falafel | Allrecipes

There's never been a better time to consider giving up meat, even if it's only one day a week, than right now. Whether you're doing it for health reasons, to help animals, because of the environmental impact, or even to save money, eating more vegetarian meals can be just as delicious as the diet you're used to. While you may be comfortable with your stable of go-to dishes like chicken enchiladas or meaty Bolognese, you'll quickly find that making the swap from meat-based dishes to plant-based ones can be as simple as reconsidering one ingredient, not the entire meal.

I am in love with the fact that you season by feeling rather than using a tablespoon. That is something someone does when they are super comfortable in a kitchen. Thank you for the ideas! My super picky kid is going to love these.

[@marygrott8095]

Great video! I'll definitely be trying the lentils tacos and the veggie burgers. More vegetarian recipes would be awesome.

Me and my husband have started eating at least 2 meatless meals a week, for health reasons. I am going to try all these recipes, thank you so much, we have always eaten meat with meals, honestly didn't think we could live without it but not so!!!

[@thepearl6087]

I’ve made the veggie lasagna weekly for the past two months…it taste amazing and so easy to make

[@vanessapillay9124]

I was looking for easy veg meals and wow these look delicious. I'm definitely going to try them!!

[@ghw7192]

For several years, I was caregiver to my vegetarian mother and your lasagna would have gotten her seal of approval. The tacos sound great to me as I already usually make mine with black beans instead of meat. Subscribed.

Simple easy recipes to try, especially in summer, thanks for sharing ! 😊😊😊

Mouthwatering. Delicious. Yummy!

[@christinesexton939]

Awesome video! I make a rattatouie that is really good. I use eggplant, zucchini, onion, garlic, peppers, mushrooms & tomatoes. Comes out similar to the korma. We are trying to use less dairy. Cheese is difficult to replace, but we'll get there.

[@oluniaz100]

These are really great recipes!!! Thanks a lot!

Love the recipes thank you for sharing great Ideas for meatless meals

[@vegangreatlife]

Love it. The lasagna looks so good. Great to roast veggies first. It all looked amazing. I love falafel and rarely get it out as it's not just dry, it's usually way too salty for my tastes. Yours looked as good as it gets.

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Thank you so much for sharing these.any other kinds of meatless or vegetarian meals would be awesome 👍😎👍😊😊

[@RenataRaut]

Hi. Fantastic meals. I would probably use the aquafaba from the can of chickpeas, as an egg replacement. Thank you for sharing your recipes

[@richardwallace6313]

Worcestershire Sauce (a listed ingredient for the veggie burgers) is not vegetarian, but you can find vegetarian alternatives in some stores. You can even make your own--numerous recipes out there.

[@flourishingmomma3_7]

Great video....I will be trying these recipes 👌🏾🙃

Just made the lasagna🙌🏽🙌🏽 This was simple & delicious! Been wanting to find an alternative to the egg/ricotta mixture. Your recipe will be my go to. We’re trying the tacos 🌮 Tuesday 💃🏽 Thank you! 😊

Wonderful. A lot to learn. doing great job.

[@58sewgood]

Great videos cant want to try the tacos more vegetarian recipes plz

[@tombotwell4353]

If you are concerned with the mouth feel of the meat for the tacos you can go half lentil, half pearled barley. It has more "bite" and more like meat.

[@nancyjo3453]

I really like your videos!!

[@mayradealmonte4442]

I just did the burguers they are very tasty

[@raylenerusthoven9604]

Yummy

[@laurac5451]

I'll try the tacos but definitely change the spices to what I like.

[@monica502]

I finally found a channel/person that gets me!! I am not eating meat/ not going vegan!! I eat eggs, cheese, milk, use bacon grease.... etc. just don't eat meat anymore....yay!!! I will use all of these recipes!!!!! :)

[@amyah9932]

Same, I’m not vegan but meat sometimes makes me sick because the way it smells 😭🥲

[@kimberlynw1799]

I love how you dig in with big bites! Exactly what I love to do. Need. That big bite to savor the flavors.

you are great. im going to make the tacos

[@marimarujaa7818]

Yes🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ENGlishJELLo-yk7up]

I actually made this! The lentils came out a little soft so i wonder how long did i have to fridge it. Besides that it taste real good. Like beans! I'm looking to make veggie meat because i love hamburgers and can use it for other dishes. Thanks 🙂

[@yooperlooper]

The veggie burgers look yummy - gotta try them. I use crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs in all my recipes that call for a filler like breadcrumbs. Adds no carbs and a nice flavor.

Hey, Nicole! These all look really good, and I’m not even vegetarian, but shared with a friend who is! Do you happen to have a sticky pudding recipe? I just purchased a bag of dates because I want to make some.🙏❤️

[@beverlyharward9631]

What might I use in lieu of rice, for Veggie Burgers? Diabetics must watch high carb starches. Almond flour instead of bread crumbs-I get that one All recipes look delicious!

[@xoAnnieRosexo]

If you're vegetarian don't put worcestershire sauce in your burger. I'm definitely going to make all of these recipes they look so yummy.

[@Gio_Vanni6143]

I found vegan alternatives for Worcestershire sauce.

[@akankshapatwari4167]

You need to carmelise the onions for the korma

[@hlynnkeith9334]

Nicole, Veggie Korma: Potatoes and rice together? No, no, no. If you swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes or turnips, then you got something. PS Your falafel recipe is to die for! Kudos.

[@ErrybodyGetTypsy]

You rock mama!

[@jazzy_taste]

Cooking is often a big tasty lie - sometimes you don't know what you're eating and you like it! 😋

[@akankshapatwari4167]

Always soak lentils for at least one hour if not overnight.

[@AB2B]

Definitely making the burgers this week so I can freeze them to have them when everyone else is having regular burgers. Trying to do better for medical reasons, but it's so hard when you smell burgers cooking! lol Will also add the other recipes, one a week, so I can find some tasty, cheap alternatives to put in rotation. I would love some new fish recipes.

[@carmena3569]

Did u make them?

[@cynthiamahaffey4680]

What could I substitute the mushrooms with?

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Can you use different kinds of seasoning?

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

I love watching you! I don’t like curry so have to do something different for the Korman. I need to try all these recipes! I live street food. An episode on street food would be great. More sheet pan recipes. More slow cooker. More soups

Could you please 🙏 do some videos.for Diabetics?

I have to cook for family members that are deathly allergic to most food allergens. It's a challenge to find alternatives to soy, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, legumes (lentils). I'm / we are exhausted from the daily food issues.

You're thinking vegan, I think.

[@Gio_Vanni6143]

"Are Eggs Considered Vegetarian?" "By definition, vegetarianism is classified as excluding any form of animal flesh (the tissue, muscles or meat of an animal). The humble egg doesn't fall into this category and is therefore included in a vegetarian eating pattern."
