Vegetarian
Cooking low calorie and vegetarian recipies is a lot easier than you might
think. Meat alternatives tend to be lower in fat and calories and more
nutritionally complete than the choice of the carnivore.
This month, we have converted 3 recipes that traditionally use meat into
great tasting vegetarian options (which incidentally are much lower in
fat than the originals)!
You are on the Web’s most complete selection of trusted low calorie
and vegetarian recipies. Try one of our low calorie and vegetarian recipies

Method
- Peel potatoes and bring to boil in a pan of water.
- Peel and dice carrots and onions into small pieces, heat oil in a
pan and sauté gently for a few minutes.
- Drain oil from pan and add veggiemince and water (as directed on
packet) and place back on heat. Stir in a little garlic, and a pinch
of pepper and let simmer.
- Turn on oven to 190°C
- When potatoes are nearly cooked for mashing, add 2 Tbsp. vegetarian
gravy granules to mince and stir continuously for a few minutes while
it thickens.
- Drain potatoes. Add margarine and splash of milk and mash until very
smooth and creamy!
- Using an oven proof dish, empty mince into bottom and tap dish on
side a few tomes to settle mixture.
- Very gently, and not in large lumps as they will sink, using a spoon
and fork spread your very creamy mash completely over surface.
- Put pie into oven. Your pie shouldn't need very long... just until
your wisps of mash start to brown slightly at the tips.
- Serve and enjoy! I find this dish great with a selection of 2-3 steamed
vegetables.
