Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 The Denver Post this week had some interesting vegetarian recipes for the Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Most of the following recipes can tolerate a decrease in oil, but otherwise they aren't bad at all. Enjoy, Eruna * Exported from MasterCook Mac * Green Chile Risotto Recipe By : Pam Savage Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : grains Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion -- minced 2 cups Arborio rice 5 cups chicken stock -- (5 to 6) - warmed on the stove 3/4 cup poblano chiles -- roasted and - or green chiles -- peeled and chopped 1 1/2 cups Manchego cheese -- freshly grated - or Cotija or Parmigiano-Reggiano fresh cilantro -- chopped Pam Savage has incorporated Mexican flavors into nearly every dish she makes.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 We've had this debate around here so many times. There are vegetarian based broth mixes that taste like " chicken " and you can use that instead. You can't always get people to read the recipe through and realize that it says something like that. There are folks on the list who are NOT vegetarian but are eating more vegetarian foods and they don't always think before sending. I try and change recipes if they say " chicken " in them. But sometimes, depending on the hour, when you post things that you don't mean to or you forget to change things. You can't penalize a person for using that word in a recipe. There are substitutes so just think of that when you see it. This is NOT a vegan list. It is a vegetarian list and a lot of folks on the list are not vegetarian. Yes, some people think of broths as vegetarian when they aren't. We can't be the food police. People will post what they want. If they remember, they change it. If they don't, oh well. We've had these debates all throughout the life of Veg-Recipes. Live and let live... My 2 cents, RisaG Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 I agree 100% with Risa's comments. And I, for one, prefer to receive recipes as they are written. Rarely only do I not change something. Broth/stock changes are so simple, you use what you have, and there are many, many recipes in the archives. Lighten up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
