Re: vegetarian,asian spring rolls, mexican bean dip, spring pasta stir-fry (bio-hartweizen-vollkorn).
 
Sure! Here are some ideas for a vegan menu without onions or garlic:1. Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Salad: Cook quinoa according to package instructions and let cool. In a separate pan, roast a mix of your favorite vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms) with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the quinoa and roasted vegetables together and dress with a simple vinaigrette made with lemon juice, olive oil, and your choice of herbs.2. Lentil Soup: In a pot, sauté diced carrots, celery, and bell peppers in olive oil until tender. Add in a can of diced tomatoes, a cup of rinsed lentils, and vegetable broth. Let simmer until the lentils are cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs.3. Veggie Stir-Fry: In a wok or large pan, stir-fry a mix of your favorite vegetables (such as broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and bell peppers) with a little bit of vegetable broth or soy sauce. Serve over brown rice or quinoa.4. Chickpea Curry: In a pot, sauté diced sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and cauliflower in olive oil until tender. Add in a can of chickpeas, a can of coconut milk, and your choice of curry spices (such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander). Let simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Serve over rice or quinoa.5. Mediterranean Bowl: In a bowl, layer cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables (such as eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers), hummus, and falafel. Top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice.Remember to always check labels and ingredients to ensure that all products used are vegan and do not contain onions or garlic. Happy cooking!
