How to make the perfect fall menu without meat?
We think about proteins
Vegetarian and protein recipes are possible! So, a meat-free menu can be complete, if you know where to look for the nutrients. In the category of foods rich in protein, other than meat and fish, we find eggs, oilseeds, certain dairy products and legumes (soy, chickpeas, dried beans, lentils, etc.). All these products offer a multitude of possibilities, all you have to do is adapt them according to your current desires.
Of course, in addition to proteins, the body also needs fiber, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. So include starchy foods and vegetables on your plate for a balanced meal.
Focus on seasonal products
No fall menu without the fruits and vegetables of the moment. Squash, carrots, endive, apples, pears, grapes, etc. There are more of them than ever on the stalls. So you have no excuse not to include them in your menus.
Also remember that, as mentioned above, they will provide you with the vitamins and fiber your body requires. However, with the drop in temperatures, these nutrients are valuable for staying in great shape.
Your vegetarian fall menu
As a starter, find butternut squash, also known as the star of the season. Lacquered with oil, honey and a hint of chili pepper, the surface of the squash is slightly caramelized when it comes out of the oven, while the flesh is as tender as possible. We accompany everything with feta, hazelnuts and fresh mint, to enhance the flavor of the dish. And if we had one piece of advice to give you for this recipe, it would be to roast the hazelnuts in the oven for a few minutes. They will thus have a more pronounced taste.
The main course then consists of a mixture of spicy curry cereals, a soft-boiled egg and onion pickles (to be prepared the day before). Gourmet and filling, this recipe is also easy to make, and will provide you with energy and protein. What more ?
A little reminder for cooking eggs, a soft-boiled egg is obtained by plunging it for 6 minutes in boiling water. Beyond that, the yolk may not be runny.
To end this fall menu in style, we have prepared an apple crumble for you. A classic dessert that always has its effect. To match the season, it is decorated with nuts, cinnamon and honey. Flavors that are warm, round and comforting.
