Vegan Rice Fake-Grauitin (http://community.livejournal.com/vegancooking/1118498.html) To address the "weird" stuff in there: 1) You can use ANY vegetable you like, just add them to the saute in the order of hardness (which more or less lets you know how long they'll take to cook/soften) so you don't get mushiness. A general rule for me is that the more colors the vegetables have, the better. 2) You don't have to use nutritional yeast (which I'm sure counts as "weird" for Andrew). I use it to add a cheesey/yeasty flavor, but you could totally do without it and add some curry/coriander/cumin for a more curry-kind of sauce, some chili powder for a more spicy sauce, etc. Or you could just put some cheese in at the end and let it melt.
Chana Mumbai Masala (http://belladonnalin.livejournal.com/446147.html) This is totally not a genuine recipe, but it's an easy one. I do the same basic thing with a bunch of different veggies - a favorite is spinach (frozen is fine!) and chickpeas/garbanzo beans. Again, the nutritional yeast is not necessary.
Potato Rice Soup (http://community.livejournal.com/veggievictuals/37403.html) This is really good. Very thick and pretty damn tasty.
