A vegetarian family meal plan
Seven meat-free dinners with enough variety that nobody misses the meat: a chilli, two curries, a risotto, pizza, pasta and cauliflower cheese. Tinned tomatoes and onions carry through the week, so the list stays short.
The week
- MondayVegetable Chilli
- TuesdaySweet Potato and Chickpea Curry
- WednesdayMushroom Risotto
- ThursdayMargherita Pizza
- FridayChana Masala
- SaturdayPesto Pasta
- SundayCauliflower Cheese
The week is built around onion (4 dinners) and tinned tomatoes (3 dinners), so you buy them once and use them up instead of opening something new every night.
