Cooking Tips for Vegetarians

DFW Vegetarian Education Network

1. Most soups freeze well. Make a double or triple recipe of soup recipes. Freeze soup in ice cube trays and when ready to eat, defrost on stove top or in microwave.

2. Why ice cube trays? Trays twist to easily dislodge contents; then cubes store in zip lock bags to preserve freshness and avoid freezer burn. Small size makes soup or other foods thaw easily and quickly in just the quantity you need.

3. Caution when processing hot foods: They produce steam and require a firm seal on your food processor or blender to avoid burns.

4. Do not boil foods cooked with soy milk as the soy milk will separate when boiled. You can boil rice milk or oat milk without separation.

5. Out of oat or rice milk? Cook rice or oats, combine with water in your blender. Sweeten with agave nectar if desired. Beats a trip to the store when you are in a hurry.
