Best Restaurant in Philippines: Vegetarian Cuisine

Date: 3rd September, 2010

Vegetarian Main Dishes
A common complaint about vegetarian cuisine is that there are “no main courses, just side dishes.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. Aside from the fact that probably 90% of recipes can be made vegetarian by leaving out or substituting for whatever meat they contain, there are a number of traditional recipes that do not include meat.

Bean Burritos
You can either make these burritos yourself or put the ingredients on the table and let everyone build their own.
Bharta – Smoked Eggplant
Bharta is a smoked eggplant dish popular in the villages of Punjab. It is usually served with greens, bread, and lassi.
Black Bean Zucchini Quesadillas
Black beans, zucchini, and a bit of cheese folded into tortillas – this may be the best quesadilla you’ve ever tasted.
Black-Eyed Pea and Quinoa Croquettes
Crunchy croquettes made from black-eyed peas and quinoa are packed with vegetarian protein.
Cabbage Rolls
Normally filled with a mixture of ground beef and rice, cabbage rolls are a staple in Eastern Europe and a favorite in many other countries. Try these vegetarian cabbage rolls stuffed with vegetables for an equally tasty main course.
Calzone
A calzone is a turnover or pocket made with pizza dough and filled with veggies, cheese, and pretty much anything else you put on pizza.
Carrot-Onion Quiche
A quiche makes an easy, satisfying main course. This colorful carrot-onion quiche looks and tastes great with a side of dark green vegetables or salad.
Cashew Curry
This vegetarian curry is rich, filling, and delicious, and can easily be made vegan.
Cheese Enchiladas
Cheese enchiladas are very rich and filling, but if you’re a cheese lover like me, they’re one of the best dishes to get your fix.
Chop Suey
Chop suey, despite its Chinese name, is actually an American recipe, normally made with a mix of meat, vegetables, and bean sprouts. This vegan version uses tofu, bok choy, and spinach, to great effect.
Couscous
Couscous is a grain made of semolina commonly eaten in North Africa with vegetables and meat, fish, and/or poultry. This vegetarian version, simple vegetable couscous, is less common, but no less delicious.
Dal
Dal is the Indian term for lentils, and in cooking refers to any of the many Indian dishes made with lentils. There are many variations ranging from simple to complex. This recipe is on the easy side.
Deep-Dish Potato Pie
If you’re looking for a rich and elegant dish and aren’t worried about calories, give this beautiful potato pie a try.
Eggplant Gratin
Eggplant layered with tomato sauce and topped with saffron custard makes an elegant and delicious main course.
Eggplant Parmigiana / Parmesan
This classic vegetarian dish is a perfect main course served alongside/atop plain pasta.
Eggplant Zucchini Gratin
Layers of eggplant and zucchini with tomato sauce and custard make a delightful first or main course.
Fajitas
Everyone seems to love “build it yourself” meals, and fajitas are a delicous way to do this. Hot fillings and cold toppings are served with tortillas so that you can mix and match your own fajitas.
Felafel
Felafel are crunchy chick pea nuggets from Lebanon that make a delicious and very healthy sandwich.
Fettucine Alfredo
Alfredo is a rich and creamy Italian sauce, usually served over fettucine.
French Onion Pie
Carmelized onions and tofu make a savory vegan pie.
Fried Tempeh
Tempeh, a cake of fermented soybeans, is much tastier than it sounds. Fried tempeh is golden brown and goes well with peanut and barbecue sauce.
Fried Tofu
Fried tofu is easy to make and has a nice chewy/crunchy texture.
Gallo Pinto
Gallo pinto, literally “spotted rooster,” is ubiquitous in Costa Rica (and apparently all of Central America). It refers to black beans and rice cooked together, which are served at every meal, surrounded by various side dishes. It’s easy to make and very healthy.
Greek Lasagna
A light, vegan lasagna made with artichokes, eggplant, and lemons.
Grilled Vegetable Gratin
This hearty dish is made with pasta and grilled vegetables and topped with melted cheese.
Italian-Style Macaroni and Cheese
Try this macaroni and cheese made with great Italian cheeses.
Kosherie
Kosherie is an Egyptian dish of spicy lentils, rice, pasta, and fried onions.
Lasagne
Vegetarian lasagne is easy and delicious. Here’s a variation on the classic red sauce version, with some extra vegetables.
Leek Gratin
Serve leeks baked with several cheeses and a bit of cream over flavorful pasta or rice for a rich and delicious treat.
Macaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is one of those dishes that sound boring, but can be just as delicious as a “fancier” pasta dish like lasagne or pesto.
Mock Beef Bourguignon
Although time-consuming, this is an easy and very delicious recipe for mock beef bourguignon made with either seitan or tempeh.
Mock Beef Stroganoff
I just love this pasta dish: a creamy sauce with mushrooms and chunks of mock meat.
Mock Chicken Chow Mein
Mock chicken chow mein (made with TVP) doesn’t take long to prepare, but it does require quite a bit of cooking.
Mock Lamb Curry
This “lamb” curry is made with seitan (wheat gluten) and is spicy and delicious.
Mock Meat Loaf
This mock meat loaf recipe made with TVP and served alongside mashed potatoes is good enough to fool your non-vegetarian, meat- and- potato-loving friends.
Mock Tuna Crêpe
This crêpe filled with warm mock tuna is a real treat.
Moussaka
Moussaka is a Greek dish traditionally made with lamb or beef. This vegetarian / vegan moussaka recipe uses portobello mushrooms and seitan instead. A rich and delicious main course.
Mushroom Goat Cheese Lasagna
This is a beautiful, elegant, and somewhat complicated lasagna, which makes it perfect for a dinner party.
Mushroom Lasagne
Three kinds of mushrooms combine with cheese, garlic, and pasta into a lovely main course.
Mushroom Strudel
Working with filo dough is not as difficult as you might think, and this elegant mushroom dish is well worth the effort.
Noodles and Cheese
I don’t know where this recipe comes from or if there’s a nicer name for it; all I know is that my mother used to make it when I was a kid and it only has 5 ingredients. The buttery, almost smoky onion flavor and the melty cottage cheese are absolutely delicious!
Pad Thai
Got a craving for Thai food? Try making your own vegetarian Pad Thai.
Paella
A Spanish dish traditionally made with meat and shellfish. This flexible veggie version is simpler, but no less delicious.
Pasta with Squash Sauce
Squash and pasta make a nice autumn meal.
Pasta Florentine
Spinach, soy milk, nutritional yeast, and herbs combine to make a creamy and delicious vegan pasta sauce. Don’t miss it!
Pesto Pizza
Pesto makes this simple pizza recipes stand out from the crowd.
Pesto Tofu
A simple, quick, and colorful dish made with tofu, pesto, and tomatoes.
Pissaladière
Pissaladière is an onion pizza or onion tart from Provence. Traditionally made with anchovies, this vegetarian pissaladière is spiced up with tapenade instead.
Pizza
Making homemade pizza is one of the best and most creative ways of proving that meat is not a necessary part of a human’s diet. Also see my pages on pizza dough and toppings.
Potato Leek Gratin
Potatoes and leeks are one of those combinations that are just meant to be, and this gratin recipe is the perfect way to enjoy them.
Pot Pie
This pot pie recipe is better than the TV dinner version for two reasons: it’s vegetarian and it’s prepared and baked, rather than frozen and microwaved. It’s also quick and flexible, so give it a try.
Ratatouille
The perfect recipe to enjoy fresh summer vegetables and herbs; it can be served half a dozen different ways.
Ricotta Gnocchi
Gnocchi are little Italian dumplings served with sauce. Usually made with potatoes, the best gnocchi are like soft pillows. Personally, I find they are even more delectable when made with ricotta cheese.
Roasted Seitan
Seitan and onions roasted in balsamic vinegar make a quick recipe for a hearty and delicious winter dish.
Sambar
This is a recipe for sambar, probably the most universal dish of South India. It has been adapted for the cooler climate of Monterey Bay. This recipe was submitted by a forum member.
Sandwiches and Burgers
For quick, healthy, and tasty meals, nothing beats a vegetarian sandwich.
Seitan, Onion, Bell Pepper Wraps
Wraps are the fun version of sandwiches. Just heat up a tortilla, add some filling, and enjoy. This seitan, onion, bell pepper, and cheese filling makes a hearty vegetarian wrap.
Seitan Teriyaki
A mix of seasoned, roasted vegetables and seitan. Serve it with rice or noodles for a delicious vegan meal.
Shepherd’s Pie
This vegetarian shepherd’s pie recipe is a simple yet delicious lambless version of the real thing.
Spanakopita
A classic vegetarian recipe from Greece: rich and delicious spinach-cheese pie.
Spanish Tortilla with Peas
Peas and saffron really spice up a traditional Spanish tortilla (potato omelette).
Spanish Tortilla with Zucchini
An amazing, melt-in-your-mouth potato and zucchini omelette. It does take a long time to prepare, but it tastes best at room temperature, so it’s great for parties since you can make it the day before.
Spinach Lasagna
Spinach lasagna, sometimes called lasagne Florentine, is a classic vegetarian dish made with a creamy white sauce, cheese, and vegetables.
Squash-Leek Quiche
This quiche made with squash and leeks and topped with cheese is a simple yet elegant main course. Serve it with salad and rice or quinoa pilaf for a satisfying meal.
Stacked Tortillas
This is a quick and interesting way to eat some good veggies.
Stir-Fry
If you’re looking for an easy way to make up a healthy meal out of leftover vegetables, a vegetarian stir-fry is the way to go.
Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmades)
When I think of Greek food, dolmades is one of the first thing that comes to mind, followed by the fact that these grape leaves are stuffed with meat. Fortunately, a vegetarian version of stuffed grape leaves is easy and tasty.
Stuffed Peppers
Serve these bell peppers stuffed with tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and couscous alongside green salad for a simple, filling meal.
Stuffed Shells
Pasta shells stuffed with cheese, topped with tomato sauce, and baked until bubbly.
Sweet Potato Gratin
Sweet potatoes layered with black beans, rice, and spinach make a hearty, healthy main course.
Tamale Pie
An authentic Mexican dish that can be made as spicy (or not) as you like.
Thai Tofu Curry
Delicately sweet and spicy, this is a delicious Massaman-inspired curry made with potatoes and pineapple.
Tostadas
Tostadas are kind of like the Mexican equivalent of pizza, with beans, cheese, and guacamole piled on top of a tortilla crust.
Vegan Lasagna
It’s easy to make vegan lasagna. All you need are noodles, good tomato sauce, and a tasty tofu mixture in place of the traditional ricotta cheese.
Vegetable Biryani
This hearty vegetable and rice casserole is from India.
Vegetable Curry
Curry is one of those dishes that can be made with just about any combination of vegetables – use this vegetable curry recipe as a guide.
Vegetable Gratin
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love gratins – there’s something about the cheese/bread crumb layer on top that appeals to just about everyone. If this sounds like you, try this tasty way to use up some leftover vegetables.
Vegetarian Pizza
Recipe for a typical vegetarian pizza recipe with mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives.
Winter Squash Risotto
Risotto isn’t difficult to make, but it does require a lot of standing at the stove, stirring away. The end result, however, is delicious and a wonderful comfort food.
Zucchini Lasagna
If you love the layers of lasagna but are on a wheat-free diet, this zucchini lasagna recipe is just what you’re looking for.
Zucchini Parmigiana
One of the most delicious ways to use zucchini that I’ve ever found, and it’s quick and easy too! This dish is perfect for parties and pot lucks, because you can make it the day before and it tastes great whether hot or at room temperature.
