While we are nowhere near done with what seems like (and is!) a two-week, full-on Fat Tuesday indulgence with three frosted celebration cakes + boxes of chocolates (whew!), I'm very much thinking about the simplicity of the fasting many of us will do in the weeks to come. In other words: meatless meals. I've always been attracted to vegetarian eating and went full-on vegetarian for a couple of years myself at one point. Mom was so helpful! She kept reminding me of all of the options within our very own Lebanese and Mediterranean repertoire.
Mom didn't worry when I didn't want to eat meat. She emphasized simple recipes that deliver. Here: coarse bulgur that's high in protein, fiber, and FLAVOR! Cook it as you would rice, and add your favorite sautéed veg.
I've pulled together a round-up of 20 Mediterranean Vegetarian Recipes where you'll find many ideas including simple soups and pilafs to satisfying salads. Check out my full collection of Lenten Recipes for ideas for meatless Fridays and vegetarian menus that are so very good.
If you live in the Boston area, I'm headed your way! Join me on Thursday, March 12th at Sofra Allston. I would LOVE to see you for an evening of delicious recipes from my book, Lebanese Baking, and conversation with the renowned chef and author Ana Sortun.
