Dinner sorted: Five meat-free, egg-free ways to protein pack your meals - Stuff

Many of us are trying to decrease or eliminate our meat consumption these days, be that for reasons ethical, financial, health-related, or a combination of those.

But with eggs still short in stock around the country, one of our main non-meat sources of protein is hard to come by.

There are, however, many other tasty, relatively inexpensive protein-rich foods out there, as this week’s recipes show. Some are vegan; some include dairy. Some, like the soup or the salad, could easily have meaty bits added if you like. The salad or the peppers could make a nice veggie side to a meatier dish. But all of these make satisfying lacto-vegetarian meals just as they’re written, and all are made using seasonal ingredients which can, in many cases, be subbed out for frozen or tinned variations.

They are also, of course, delicious.
