We decided to have a meat free this week. It is something we do from time to time just for fun. I'm sure all of us are aware of the importance of eating fewer animal products from an environmental point of view and, in general, I don't think we're too bad but there is always room for improvement and a week of veggie dishes always acts as a salutary reminder of how possible it is to eat well without the inclusion of meat or fish. The thing is that we've definitely ended up quite cheese heavy!
Monday: root vegetable and pearl barley soup with bread (and cheese)
Tuesday: Cacio (cheese) e pepe
Wednesday: Mushroom risotto (finely grated cheese stirred through at the end)
Thursday: Saag paneer (cheese), Punjabi dum aloo and rice
Friday: "Fish" finger sandwich...with halloumi (cheese)
Saturday: Vada pav and Punjabi Kadhi with onion bhajis (wot, no cheese..? But wait...)
Sunday: Aubergine CHEESEcake
Now, I am all for cheese in all its forms but...maybe next time we need to aim for vegan week? Or, at the very least, get a few vegan options in there?
