The Subsim Vegetarian Thread

My veggie friends won't be offended by meat on the table, but I want something nice for them to eat too.

BTW, neon, when you do eggplant and squash do you salt it and let it sit for a while then rinse and dry it before cooking? I tried that and it made a HUGE difference in texture. Squash was crispy, not squishy.

PS—on the egg[plant spaghetti, 1 large JAR of capers? my daughter loves capers, and my large jar is maybe 16 ounces

Or do you mean a tiny jar of the large capers?

PPS—read the damn OP. Whine about meat elsewhere. Ask a question, or post a recipe. Back before I was married, every 3d chick or so was a veggie, knowing how to cook them a tasty meal can't hurt your chances. Besides, when you have people over, it's only polite to have something they can eat on the table. That said I won't go as far as vegan crap. You get too persnickety and you're on your own, but a "I don't eat meat" guest deserves to enjoy dinner. (I do most cooking at our house, and I have a few buddies who used to be prep or line cooks. My friend scott can look you in the eye while talking to you making tiny dices for pico de gallo (FAST) and still have all his fingers. Blows my mind.
