Thermomix vegetarian recipes show that a meal without meat can be rich, colorful and filling. This category gathers gratins, risottos, pasta and vegetable dishes, all cooked with the Thermomix and all free of meat and fish. Each recipe lists the time, the temperature and the speed.
What you cook with Thermomix vegetarian recipes
Vegetables are the stars here. The bowl chops onions and carrots for a base, steams broccoli in the basket, and purees a creamy sauce in seconds. As a result, you prepare a gratin or a risotto without standing at the stove. Risotto in particular turns out creamy, since the blades stir the rice for you.
Legumes bring protein. Lentils, chickpeas and beans cook well in the bowl, and cheese or eggs add more. So a plate of pasta with a vegetable sauce can easily fill a hungry family.
Eating well through the week
Plan two or three meatless dinners a week, and vary the flavors. Monday could bring a vegetable gratin, Wednesday a mushroom risotto, and Friday a tomato pasta with fresh herbs. Moreover, many dishes reheat well, so cook a double portion for the next day.
Spices change everything. Cumin, paprika and curry give depth to simple vegetables, while fresh basil or parsley adds a bright finish. Add a handful of nuts or seeds for crunch.
Do not forget breakfast and snacks. A vegetable quiche, a cheese omelet or a bowl of oat porridge also belong to a meatless week, and the Thermomix makes each of them in minutes.
Shopping and storage
Buy vegetables in season for the best taste and price. Store leafy greens in the fridge, and keep onions and potatoes in a cool, dark place. Cooked dishes keep for three days in a closed box.
For other dinner ideas, read about fish and seafood or meat and poultry. The main page for Thermomix main dishes gives you the whole list.

Tiha’s tip for vegetables
Cut the vegetables into pieces of similar size, for even cooking. Also, do not go above 2.2 litres in the bowl when the sauce is hot. For a golden gratin, finish with a few minutes in the oven. In fact, the cheese browns better that way.
