Vegetarian Star

Rachael Ray held her Feedback party at SXSW and according to Billboard, it took her forever to decide on what food to serve during the one night event. It’s an event so stressful, she can’t bring herself to decide what dishes will make the final cut.

“I can’t do the final round of eliminations,” Ray said. “It’s like ‘American Idol’ and I’m J. Lo, unable to make the unchosen food cry.”

In the end, a vegetarian chili with portabella mushrooms was voted safe for the evening and the Sanjaya dish that makes everyone hurl but somehow makes it back to the table went home.

If there were as many falafel trucks as there were ice cream trucks, every neighborhood where the Middle Eastern shop rolled around the corner would shut down!

Falafel is in its own class of plant protein–not soy, seitan or a manufactured veggie protein patty. The chickpea balls have the ability to make vegetarians and carnivores beg for seconds.

One of Rachael Ray‘s dozens of Food Network shows, 30 Minute Meals, focuses on preparing comfort foods with convenience, using fresh ingredients while speeding up some of the processes normally required for that slow cooked flavor.

Not only are Ray’s meals quick and delivered to the table in 30 minutes or less, many of her dishes featured are vegetarian friendly.

Her Meat Free and Fabulous episode of 30 Minute Meals, for example, featured a Meat Free BLT Spaghetti with Butter Lettuce, Leek and Tomato plus Stuffed Young Zucchini.

Other vegetarian quickie meals featured include Radicchio Pasta Salad and a whole wheat skillet lasagna.

Rachael Ray threw a food party at the annual South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.

There are no official vegetarian chefs on the Food Network yet, but thankfully there are several chefs who are highlighting healthier, flexitarian options and incorporating vegetarian recipes into their repertoire.

Ray featured a vegetarian option at the SXSW fest, something she says is normal for any party she caters for.

“I always do a meat, a vegetarian and a poultry item,” Ray told Wall Street Journal.

This year Ray offered vegetarian taquitos that she said were, “really tasty to snack on.”

If you couldn’t make it to SXSW to sample the taquitos, have a festival at home with this Potato Soyrizo Taquito recipe.
