Meatless Monday: 10 Vegetarian Recipes from Jamie Oliver

Meatless Monday: 10 Vegetarian Recipes from Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver has been one of the most talked-about chefs in 2010, causing a stir in American school lunch rooms with his TV show Food Revolution; his newest cookbook, 30-Minute Meals, has been breaking sales records across the pond. His cookbooks are far from vegan, but his use of healthy, fresh ingredients keeps him far away from the worst cookbooks of 2010, and he makes enough vegetarian dishes to last us several Meatless Mondays. The only drawback to Jamie’s recipes (including the ones in 30-Minute Meals) is that they use British-style measurements instead of American ones. So we scavenged the Internet for a few American-friendly recipes to get us going while we wait for 30-Minute Meals to come out using cups instead of milliliters (some don’t require measuring cups at all).

10 Vegetarian Dishes With Vitamin D: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

10 Vegetarian Dishes With Vitamin D: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

Lately there’s been a lot of talk about how much Vitamin D we should really be getting in our daily diets, and the answer, for now, seems to be: As much as you can. But the best sources of vitamin D are sun (not going to happen for a few months, at least where we live) and meat (not going to happen on Meatless Monday, or anytime you’re avoiding meat). So what should a vegetarian do? You should definitely take a multivitamin to supplement your dietary intake, because without meat, it’s extremely difficult to get much vitamin D in your diet, but vegetarian sources of the essential nutrient include mushrooms, fortified milk, and (weirdly) corn pudding.

10 One-Dish Vegetarian Casseroles: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

10 One-Dish Vegetarian Casseroles: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

Last night, I cooked dinner for seven without a scrap of meat. Meatless Sunday doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as Meatless Monday, but after making brisket for Hanukkah and eating a fair share of bacon at brunch, it felt good to serve (and eat) a meal that didn’t involve red meat or poultry, regardless. I baked Eggplant Parmesan Rolls with Swiss Chard and Mint from a back issue of Bon Appetit, whose cover article “One Dish Dinners” promised filling, healthy takes on old-school casseroles. It worked: It tasted good, was easy to make, and required a minimum of dish-washing at the end of the night, so I was able to spend some time actually conversing with my guests. Whether you’re cooking for seven on Sunday or two on Tuesday, I like the idea of healthy, vegetarian one-dish dinners, so I found ten more in honor of Meatless Monday: More »

10 Cleansing Post-Thanksgiving Meals: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

Before we get to thinking about potato latkes and Christmas cookies, we feel we need some reprieve from all the festive eating (and cooking). Cleansing soups and salads are perfect Meatless Monday dishes, and they also make for great light post-Thanksgiving meals. Plus, they’re easy to make, easy to digest, and will make us a whole lot happier come January, when we don’t feel like we have to stop eating solid foods for a month just to get over the damage we did in November and December.

Sweet Potatoes, 10 Ways: Meatless Monday Recipe Roundup

It’s hearty, nutritious, and can be used in everything from lasagna to curry soups. Do you know what this in-season mystery ingredient is? It’s not meat; it’s a sweet potato. The root vegetables are a perfect Meatless Monday recipe staple (even if you’re used to serving them next to turkey). Though you might be used to mashing them up and giving them a sugary topping for Thanksgiving, there are plenty of ways to serve them (and you might be surprised by their less-than-saccharin taste when they’re not topped with ‘mallows).
