The New York Times recently put out a list of 13\u00a0Veggie-Packed Meals to Bring to a Friend in Need.<\/p>\n
It specified that these were meals for folks fed up of having lasagne and brownies brought to them and who needed nourishing, one-pot fare that warmed and cheered them up when they were low.<\/p>\n
It’s quite an eclectic mix of plant-forward dishes definitely worth your perusal.<\/p>\n
We’ll alert you to a few…<\/p>\n
Golden potato and greens soup. Yum. A light soup it has no cream but the combo of chard or spinach or kale, turmeric and mushy potatoes, garnished with herbs, works wonders for the soul.<\/p>\n
Burrito bowls. Most of us know just how comforting a burrito bowl can be. But do remember how much nutrition and flavours it packs? Beans, rice, onions, avocado, corn, tomatoes… It’s a virtual roster of the planet’s healthiest foods whilst at the same time tasting so wonderful.<\/p>\n
Red curry lentils with sweet potatoes and spinach. Now that’s virtually a dal or a cross between a Dal Fry and a South Indian Keerai Kootu that they have added red curry paste and shavings of coconut to too.<\/p>\n
Beans and vegetables curry, Japanese-style over rice. It’s a thick stew of eggplant, carrots, white beans, greens, mushroom had over sticky Japanese chawal. Excellent.<\/p>\n
Pea stew with yoghurt by famous chef Yotam Ottolenghi. A dish from Persian kitchens, it’s also akin to an alu-mattar. Sesame seeds go in. So do potatoes. Cumin seeds. Lemon. Olive oil. And much more.<\/p>\n
