So, let's start with what should be the ideal menu for vegetarians for breakfast. Some people generally tend to have light breakfasts in the form of tea with a loaf or sandwich. But if you need to refuel denser, I suggest such a scheme ideal for a vegetarian breakfast. Oatmeal! No, you do not need to twist your grimaces, presenting a porridge, like a snot, like a snot. A couple of tablespoons of oatmeal is poured over with boiling water, cover, wait a minute. For sweet tooth, there is advice: before pouring, put a spoonful of honey - it melts under hot water. Then add the sliced fruit for every taste and delicacy: from the usual apples, pears, plums, ending with pineapple, passion fruit, etc. Well combined in such breakfast and raisins, nuts (walnuts, peanuts, almonds), dried apricots. Cut into a bowl with fruit porridge, we fill with yogurt or kefir. Plus this scheme is that you can make different combinations, so as not to bother the same thing. Here's the vegetarian menu for breakfast ready! Salivating flowed?
For a vegetarian breakfast, you can use the recipes that are customary for our cuisine. For example, cook in the morning vareniki. In a vegetarian form suitable with cherries, cottage cheese, potatoes, mushrooms and others. This, of course, is a laborious process, and those bought will not bring the desired taste. But there is one interesting moment. For modeling vareniki one can single out half-day, and then put the half-finished product in the freezer. Thus, any morning you can cook homemade dumplings for a short time!
Stuffed pancakes with tea or cocoa are also an ideal dish for breakfast. In a vegetarian form, pancakes with cottage cheese and raisins, dried apricots, and also with mushrooms, apples and other fruits will do. They can also be put in the freezer, and for breakfast only to roast on sunflower oil.
Now we go to lunch. Naturally, soups with a leg (or handle) for a vegetarian will not work. Therefore, you can prepare soups by simply adding sunflower oil. Do not be afraid - soup or borscht will not lose richness! To make the borscht thicker, you can crush the boiled potatoes in it. The ideal menu for lunch for a vegetarian is mushroom and bean soup, as well as soup puree (especially from vegetables). The diet should be a separate place for protein. So, in soups, which are usually filled with sour cream, you can add kefir or ordinary sour milk, enriching the dish with protein. During the summer heat, especially relevant for a vegetarian dish will be okroshka. It also has many variations, starting from the base (you can cook on the serum, and for the strict vegetarians will approach kvass) and ending with a set of vegetables that you crumble.
Many can not imagine a life without sandwiches with sausage or a salsa. For a vegetarian "snack", an alternative is often a sandwich with hard cheese. You can quickly make a hot sandwich: from the slice of bread is removed the middle, you need to fry the crust on the sunflower oil, and then in the middle to drive the egg; as it is fried, rubbed with hard cheese, covered with greens. For those who still eat fish, there are several options for sandwiches. Not only the usual sprats and herring, but also pieces of salted salmon over black bread and butter. There is a sweet option: mix cottage cheese with raisins, sugar, vanilla (or take a ready-made curd mass), add the crushed apple and spread on slices of white bread.
Salads are the fad of vegetarians, because thanks to their diversity you can please everyone. This, first of all, all sorts of variations from vegetables. Do not take seriously the winged phrase: "I do not mow the grass to chew," because there are a lot of salads from herbs that enrich the body with vitamins, minerals. For example, salads from sorrel, nettles (which are covered with boiling water), spinach and even dandelion, burdock, snowdrops and so on. Very useful for the owners of vegetarian cuisine will be such an example of salad. We cut radish, cucumbers, fresh cauliflower, as well as greens (onions, parsley, dill, basil). Tasty, if you add a couple of tablespoons of cottage cheese. We fill with sour cream, mayonnaise, and if without cottage cheese, it is possible and olive oil. To make up protein, we prepare salads from beans, peas, lentils, with hard cheeses.
The ideal menu for a vegetarian for dinner consists not only of salads. You can cook mashed potatoes with them. For non-strict vegetarians, you can include fish cutlets or vegetable cutlets in the menu. The ideal dish for a vegetarian is porridge. Only the difference in cooking is possible. For a change in rice, you can add apple slices, a little raisins and cinnamon. For non-strict vegetarians, milk porridge (buckwheat, wheat, semolina) will do. Wheat porridge can be eaten with fried fish, or simply add butter and sprinkle with sugar. It will be useful to drink a glass of yoghourt, kefir for the night, because lactic acid bacteria counteract putrefactive processes in the large intestine.
As you can see, the menu for a vegetarian does not consist of complete prohibitions and restrictions. Just need to be able to "bend" the world to yourself, using various combinations of vegetables, fruits, plants, and for non-strict vegetarians - and fish, dairy dishes. The main thing - it should be nutritious, give the body energy, saturate vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other useful substances.
