Lent in Easter Foods(1000+)

What meatless meals can I serve for dinner?

Pasta dishes are hearty, filling meals that don’t have to use meat to be delicious. Add in sautéed vegetables, marinara sauce, and top with cheese for a quick and easy meal. Stir in a few plant-based meatballs or use pasta made from beans to add even more protein to the dish. Another option is to sub out your beef burgers with a plant-based burger or veggie patty. For stir fry dishes, use tofu or plant-based meat.

What are some vegan protein substitutes?

Tofu, tempeh, seitan, and beans are among the top vegan protein substitutes that you can use in place of most meat. Swap out ground beef burgers with black bean burgers, use vegan cheese and tofu in place of a beef and cheese burrito, and sub-sliced tempeh for grilled chicken strips on a salad.

What can I make with tofu?

Tofu is a surprisingly versatile food because it takes on the flavor of the spices and ingredients you mix with it. Extra firm or firm tofu can be diced and added to almost any stir fry. You can season cubed tofu and air fry it until it's crispy. Stir tofu into soups and stews. If you buy silken tofu, you can make vegan cheesecake, smoothies, desserts, and shakes.
