Meat free Monday

[crazypenguinlady]

Trying to reduce the amount of meat we eat at the moment. Oddly enough, I was a vegetarian for 5 years but do you think I can remember things I used to make?? Anyway, what vegetarian meals can you recommend for the family? Just me and DP now but we are weaning DS in the next week.

Five bean chilli
Roasted veg 'toad in the hole' (replace sausages with veg)
Carrot, cumin and kidney bean burgers
Butternut squash falafel in pita
Pasta arabiata
Sweet potato, chickpea and red pepper curry
Roasted veg puff pastry tart
Fritata with roasted courgettes and peppers
Macaroni cheese
Quiche
Peppers stuffed with cous cous, onion, garlic, mushrooms and feta

quesadillas
veggie fajitas
chick pea curry
veggie stirfry
omelette, salad and chips

Aubergine stew with cauliflower rice or sweet potato hash topped with a fried egg and home made baked beans are our favourites.

I didn't make it but as a non vegetarian I just had a yummy cauliflower cheese bake, (looks like a burger) probably not that tricky to make actually.

Thank you! Some of these sound awesome and definitely gonna add some to my To-Try list.

Ooh our favourites:
Sweet potato and black bean hash with hot sauce and fried egg
Mushroom nut burgers with creamy mushroom sauce and roast potatoes
Sweet potato and courgette fritters (flavoured with curry powder) with okra fried in garam masala
Dhal
Vegetable lasagne
Bubble and squeak cakes with poached egg and hollandaise sauce
Sticky ginger tofu
Kung Pao tofu

Our fave ever vegan meal (we do meat free Monday and Friday!) is cauliflower wind tacos.

You bake some cauliflower until it starts to soften then take out and coat in hummus, milled oats and paprika. Then put back in a hot oven u til crispy. We serve in mini tortillas with sliced red cabbage, butter beans, cooked mushrooms and oatly creme fraiche. SO good!!

Also halloumi coated in panko breadcrumbs and fried served in a Pitts with sliced red cabbage, cucumber and tahini is gorgeous
