I'm kind of proud of this, because I usually at least start with a cookbook recipe, but I made this up completely out of my head, and only because I'd roasted some red peppers for Shabbos and hadn't gotten around to peeling them and serving them. It's not vegan, but it is non-dairy. We ate this for dinner tonight and it turned out really good. I'm definitely going to make it again.
Vegetable casserole
4 red peppers
extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced thin or minced
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch kale, stems removed, washed
about 3 medium potatoes or 2 baking potatoes (I used small potatoes, so I used about 5 of them)
cooking spray
1 block soft tofu
2 eggs
thyme
salt and pepper
Cut tops and ribs off of peppers and roast at 400 degrees until skin begins to char and blacken on both sides (put on an oven mitt and turn them when one side is done). Put peppers in a double or triple thickness of plastic bags (you can use grocery sacks), twist closed, and put in fridge and refrigerate until cool. You can do this up to 3 or 4 days ahead. When you're ready to use the peppers, skin them and dice them. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350. Heat some oil in a frying pan. Sautee onions, garlic, mushrooms, and kale until kale is wilted and onions and mushrooms are soft. Add peppers and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Prick potatoes with fork and microwave for about 3 minutes while veggies are cooking. When veggies are done, spray a 9 X 13 casserole dish with veggie spray and dump them in. Slice potatoes when they're reasonably cool and add more olive oil to pan. Cook potatoes until they're slightly browned on both sides. Layer them on top of vegetables in casserole dish. Mix tofu, eggs, salt, pepper, and thyme together, and pour on top of casserole in an even layer. Bake for about 30 minutes or until eggs are set. I was thinking you could probably use ricotta cheese instead of tofu, but my oven is currently meat only (non-dairy) so I didn't do that this |

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for vegetarian casserole recipes, but they all seem to have so much cheese in them that they aren't healthy or cheap. I'll definitely try this one.
Having a kosher kitchen sounds pretty complicated. People always think being a vegetarian must be hard, but it's easy to not eat stuff if you don't buy it. Keeping meat and dairy separate must take a whole lot of planning and little mental rules. |
