How to make a summer menu without meat?

In recent years, many people have wanted to reduce their consumption of meat products. Whether for health, ecological or ethical reasons, we can only encourage you in this approach by offering you meat-free alternatives. You will also notice that most recipes, mainly based on vegetables and legumes, will also cost you less. Which is also good news for your wallet and vacation budget!

Your meat-free menu for summer

What’s better than hummus to start a meal? The recipe is easy to make, and what’s more, it’s an unexpected source of protein. Cooked chickpeas contain more than 8 g of protein per 100 g, which is not negligible.
Also, since we are in summer, we offer you an original hummus with a seasonal product: pepper. Previously roasted in the oven, it brings a grilled, slightly sweet flavor to the recipe. A delight.

As a main course, we suggest you revisit stuffed tomatoes in a vegetarian version. Instead of the traditional minced meat stuffing, they are stuffed with rice with onions and tomato paste. Fresh herbs and feta will finally enhance the recipe.
Also be sure to choose a suitable tomato variety. If cherry tomatoes are perfect for the aperitif, and San Marzano are the queens of sauces, they are not suitable for this recipe. Conversely, beef heart, marmande and ferline, fleshy varieties, are all designated. Just be careful not to choose them that are too ripe, as they risk releasing too much water and falling apart during cooking.

To finish the meal, no difficulties on the horizon since it is rare to eat a flank steak for dessert! The only trap to avoid is to avoid offering fruit if the starter and main course already contain vegetables. It is better to spread your fiber consumption over several meals than to overindulge in just one. In the menu we offer you, the hummus contains peppers and the main dish contains tomatoes. The quota of fruits and vegetables being largely reached, we offer you a recipe for milk chocolate ice cream. Perfect to end the meal on a refreshing and delicious note.

Finally, a raspberry-hibiscus drink will not be too much to accompany you throughout the meal. Don’t forget to add ice cubes before serving, for an instant feeling of freshness.
