Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

The Spice of Vegetarian Cooking: Ethnic Recipes from India, China, Mexico, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe

Broccoli and Cashew Pilaf : page 113

Not too bad this. I made a half-ish recipe of rice and broccoli, with all the spices; otherwise it would have been woefully underspice. (Didn't do the orange garnish since I forgot to buy one today.)

It's a fast dinner. One-third cup basmati cooked while I prepared the other ingredients and started cooking.

I think this would make a good vegetarian one-dish main sort of thing. (It's not clear, but I suspect it's intended as a side.) A whole recipe would serve 3, maybe 4, as a main; my half recipe would have been a bit short if it hadn't been accompanied by leftover samosas.
Would be could as a side dish as part of an assembled plate, not necessarily vegetarian.

Nutty Eggplant and Potato Curry : page 83

A pretty boring rendition of an eggplant and potato curry. Neela's Eggplant and Potato from Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian Cooking is quite similar and much better.

I made a half recipe as dinner for two.

Ingredients are annoyingly not in the order that they are used.
