My favourites are these, even my DH eats them and he LOVES his meat...
I must add that they do have cheese or eggs in them so not completely vegetarian, they are alsoall relatively low fat.
Mixed mushroom and Cheese risotto:
10g porcini mushrooms
200g chopped button mushrooms
1 cup boiling water
1L chicken stock
1 1/2 cups tap water
40g butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 chopped brown onions
2 cups arborio rice
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Put porcini mushies into a bowl and cover with hot water stand for 30mins. Drain and keep 1/2cup of mushroom liquid.
Bring mushie water, the tap water and stock to a medium sauce pan. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep hot.
Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan, cook onions and all mushrooms. Stir until onions are soft.. Add rice, stir to coat with mixture. Stir 1 cup of stock mixture cook over low heat until liquid is absorbed. Add stock 1 cup at a time and stir each time until it is absorbed. Continue until all stock is gone and rice is tender. When mixture is gone, stir in the cheese. Serves 4.

Sesame Omlette and crispy asian salad

1 green capsicum thinly sliced
Dressing

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
Whisk eggs in a lg jug with milk chives and sesame seeds until well combined. Pour 1/4 of the mixture into a heated lightly oiled pan/wok. Cook until just set. Remove from pan/wok and repeat with the rest of the mixture to make 4 omlettes. Roll omlettes tightly and cut into 1cm lengths.
Place all ingredients of dressing in a bowl and mix well. Place 3/4 of omlettes into a large bowl and add the cabbage, capsicums and chilli. Toss with 3/4 of the dressing and mix gently to combine. Add remaining omlette on top and drizzle with remaining dressing.
