4 recipes that will change your mind about plant-based eating

If you’re on the fence about including more veggies in your diet, allow these plant-based recipes to wow you. We promise – even the carnivores will love these.

Mushroom ceviche

Summer calls for light meals that still impress with flavour, like this vibrant vegetarian ceviche. Avocado, orange and red onion give new life to button mushrooms.

Lentil Bolognese stuffed red peppers

If you’re ever looking to bulk up a plant-based meal, make sure you have a tin of lentils on hand. They work well with a variety of flavours and can be added to curries, pastas, salads, or as in this recipe, be used as a stuffing.

Whole roasted cauliflower

Cauliflower is another versatile vegetable and you can’t really go wrong with it. In this recipe, its natural glory is given room to shine, with the cauliflower heads being simply roasted with a spicy, cheesy topping. If you don’t want to make it exclusively vegan, regular parmesan cheese will work well too.

Vegan and gluten-free lasagne

There’s still room for the hearty Italian classics in a plant-based diet. A few simple alternations are all that’s needed to make the vegan cheese sauce (or use store-bought cheese sauce if you prefer not to go fully vegan and want to save on time), while the lasagne sheets are encased in layers of glorious vegetables and tomato sauce.
