Vegetarian Recipes from Around the World

Marbella is known for its lavish lifestyle, but also healthy lifestyle; and many people are supplementing that by choosing vegetarianism, either full-time or through a dedicated meat-free day. Vegetarian and plant-based diets are healthier, more economical, and can help to reduce global warming and world hunger. So why not give a vegetarian meal a try? With a world of options when it comes to vegetarian dishes, you are sure to find some that you love!

Vegetarian Indian Recipes

Rich in spices, summer is a great time to add some added flavour to a vegetarian menu with Indian-style yoghurt and paneer dishes. Try this raita recipe, made with yoghurt, a kick of chili, cumin, coriander, and chaat masala, as a side dish or snack to cool off this summer! https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/boondi-raita/#wprm-recipe-container-37066

Latin American Vegetarian Recipes

Is there a better way to go vegetarian than with authentic Mexican taquitos? Crispy on the outside and full on flavor on the inside – and they taste great cold, so cook them up in the morning then sit back and enjoy them in the afternoon -with a mojito, of course! Just grab some corn tortilla wraps and fill with Tender Jacks jackfruit meat substitute and refried pinto or whole black beans, top with a bit of salsa, and pan fry to crispy perfection. As simple as that! Best yet, you can pick up all the ingredients you need in one spot! Pop into Leo Foods’ cash and carry warehouse in Nueva Campana, Marbella and you’re good to go! We even have the mojito mix (in a variety of flavours!) Check out https://peasandcrayons.com/2020/04/homemade-vegetarian-taquitos.html.

Vegetarian Mediterranean Meals

When you’ve got more important things to do this summer than cook, whip up a quick, but delicious, pasta dinner with Dove Farms organic gluten-free pasta (or try I Sea Pasta’s Seaweed Tagliatele!) and top with Suma’s organic pesto for a quick, healthy, and delicious vegetarian meal that the whole family will love! Throw on a few meat and soy-free meatballs from Peas of Heaven and toast a bit of garlic bread as a tasty side if you’re feeling a bit fancy!

Middle Eastern Vegetarian Ideas

It’s easy to simply leave off the meat in your favourite middle eastern dishes, but if you’re looking to try your hand at a dedicated vegetarian dish from Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Morocco, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, or beyond this summer, pick up some staples such as cous cous, pomegranate molasses, tamarind paste, pickled lemon, basmati rice, rose water, harissa, sumac, halwa, cardamom, and pistachios from Leo Foods and check out One Green Planet’s list of 15 Meatless Middle Eastern Recipes You Have To Try.
