Vegetarian Recipes

Going meat-free doesn't mean giving up on your favourite dishes; it just means getting creative. With so many plant-based alternatives, you can still enjoy those classic flavours and create a flexitarian meal plan.

If you are craving a hearty curry, swap chicken for protein-packed lentils, tofu or chickpeas in your favourite Indian recipes like tikka masala or korma.

You can also try the butternut Thai curry with crunchy peanuts and rice. Additionally, jackfruit is another great option – it absorbs spices beautifully and gives that shredded meat texture.

Forget meat on taco night and stuff your tacos with spiced crumbled tofu, mashed chickpeas and smoky jackfruit. If you miss fried chicken, give crispy cauliflower wings or mushrooms a try. You'll still get that golden crunch.

Even classic comfort foods, like spaghetti Bolognese and shepherd's pie, can go meat-free with lentils. You can also try other vegetarian comfort dishes, like this crumbed tofu rice bowl.

Nothing beats a comforting bowl of pasta after a long week. The best part is that you can enjoy the creamy and cheesy pasta dishes while sticking to your vegetarian diet.

If you are craving something rich and indulgent, whip up a creamy garlic mushroom pasta with cashew sauce or go for classic Alfredo with parmesan. A lemony spinach and ricotta pasta or roasted cherry tomato spaghetti will hit the spot. You should also try a truffle mushroom pasta with Italian cheese.

If you're all about bold flavours, go for a spicy arrabbiata or a smoky eggplant and red pepper penne. Pesto veggie pasta loaded with zucchini, bell peppers and olives is also an easy, delicious meal. Alternatively, serve pesto courgette rigatoni for a delicious hearty meal.
