How to turn popular meat-based dishes vegetarian

Transforming popular meat-based dishes into vegetarian alternatives is a great way to reduce your animal product consumption and expand your palette. Here are some top tips on how to make the switch while preserving flavor, texture and deliciousness:

• Switch meat for plant-based protein, such as tofu and tempeh
• Use beans and chickpeas instead of meat in curries, soups and chili
• Opt for vegetable burgers or plant-based sausages
• Use mushrooms to add a meaty, chewy texture to your dishes instead of relying on meat for this
• Try jackfruit instead of pulled pork
• Use quinoa or chickpeas to create burgers instead of opting for chicken or beef burgers
• Use plant-based protein powder supplements to enhance your protein intake without meat
