Vegetarian Dinner
Tonight my friend came over that is a vegetarian, she however eats fish. I was a veggie for about 8 years, so it is fairly easy for me to make up a meal. I wasn't expecting her, so this dinner was on the fly. I decided to make the same tuna salad I made the other day, the almond brittle tuna salad with apples tonight instead of pears. It turned out amazing. I then also made a curried red lentil red curry with veggies served over brown rice noodles. She was full.s able to get enough protein from this meal, almonds, goat cheese and tuna in the salad, and lentils in the curry. As a former vegetarian it can be so difficult to get all the protein that is required in a lot of meals. Remember when cooking for a vegetarian they need protein to keep
Amazing Tuna salad with almond brittle, peppercorn goat cheese and roasted apples.
