If you're doing the vegetarian thing make sure you're getting enough b12 in your diet, very detrimental to your health otherwise.

Cutting down on red meat this year, and going to incorporate more plant based foods into my diet. 

[Greens]

Went on red meat overdrive when I was in Argentina, literally steak for lunch and dinner about 10 days out of 14. Best steaks I've ever had but now looking to cut down on meat.overall. Do veg weeks here and there then work up to a month.

got served a veg lasagna on Saturday evening that I've been thinking about ever since, was amazing, but she told me she spent a while making the sauce, etc

yeah my issue is protein options feel boring, I've done the falafel/chickpeas, tofu, beans, quinoa... but I'm not inspired

c/s you feeling better though, I've not once had that feeling of needing to wait to digest before doing anything, you never have that feeling of weight in your stomach, or tiredness after eating

but you have to plan your meals better, and put a little bit of effort in

im too lazy to be that person but I'm definitely gonna cut down on meat consumption overall

Have u tried lentils?

Try  tarka dhal - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tarkadal_90055

French puy lentils - delicious recipe. I have it with olive bread - http://thefirstmess.com/2016/01/13/creamy-french-lentils-with-mushrooms-and-kale-recipe/

Green lentils

Personally not a fan of red lentils 

Green an puy u can make a nice shepherds pie.

Stew peas with hard food an dumpling?

 

 

 

[dub]

never liked lentils tbh

found a new way to make egg today.. start with a relatively low heat and crack the egg on the pan, let it run around the pan so the white spreads out, add seasoning, then as the white starts to cook, fold/roll over the yolk piece over and over again, then you're left with a package that has a crispy fried-egg consistency on the outside, but when you cut into it the yolk is still runny and delicious

anyone know what this is called? surely someone has done it before

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Pic? 

[dub]

that would require me making it again, which ain't gonna happen at the moment

[Anderson]

Dont think ive ever gone more than 2 days without having a meal containing meat of some sorts...

But, thinking of going veggie or even vegan for a period of time and seeing how it goes

Anyone done it?

realised I liked lentils a few months ago when I tried something, I didn't realise I used to eat them as a kid as it has various different names in Africa. Gonna try one of these.

/ also trying to eat less meat simply because of the cost I don't want to switch to cheaper meat so I can eat more.

The Above posts reminded me about this one, was fire, need to cop some snapper again

For the coriander Puy lentils
- 50g/2oz butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves only
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander 
- 300g/11oz Puy lentils
- 175ml/6fl oz red wine
- 450ml/16fl oz chicken stock
- 2 tbsp Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar, or other red wine vinegar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper

Can I swap the red wine for something else? Dont like the taste of wine and other alcoholic stuff

[Rippy]

 

One of the few dishes in which I enjoy lentils

Eat meat once or twice a week these days but the dullness in the lack of variety in meals is creeping on me now. Need to set time aside to explore more recipes.
