Many people don’t eat meat during Lent season, but my family has made it a habit of going meatless at least once a week. Typically on Friday’s we go vegetarian and it’s something that we look forward to because there are so many vegetarian and seafood dishes that you can make and that won’t let you miss meat!
Meatless Meatballs
Is it even possible to enjoy meatless meatballs? It is with this recipe that uses mushrooms instead of ground meat, and the texture is so close to actual meatballs!
Chiles En Nogada
This is a delicious Mexican recipe for stuffed peppers that is traditionally made with meat, but this recipe is completely vegetarian with farro and walnut, and just as delicious.
Black Bean Burger
This will probably be the easiest black bean burger you will ever make and quite tasty too. It’s the perfect vegetarian recipe for the warm weather, and you can add all the toppings of your choice.
Vegetarian Chili
Nothing screams comfort like chili, and while most people pride themselves in using the best ground beef they can afford, this recipe calls for some of your favorite veggies.
Spring Asparagus Salad
This delicious salad is filled with beautiful colors and includes couscous, olives, feta, and a lemony dressing that will remind you of spring. It can be served immediately or chilled, plus it’s gluten-free, so that’s always a plus!
Seared Salmon with Avocado Salsa Verde
This recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to the salsa verde, which if you can’t find prepared, you can make it yourself, with tomatillos, cilantro, onions, and salt.
