Easy tips to make delicious and satisfying vegetarian recipes:
- Add chewy foods: Chewy foods like seared tofu, grilled mushrooms, and nuts feel more filling because they take more time and effort to eat. They also better imitate the way you chew meat-which makes them a more satisfying substitution.
- Combine flavors and textures in your vegetarian meals: Excite your tastebuds by playing with textures and flavors. A creamy sauce is easily complemented by crisp toppings such as seeds, crushed nuts, or roasted vegetables.
- Try slow roasting: When you slow-roast food, you remove the amount of water it contains, thereby intensifying the flavor and making the texture chewier. Cooked meat is about 55-65 percent water; while that sounds like a lot, compare it to veggies, which are 80-95 percent water. Roasted veggies such as carrots, tomatoes, or zucchini are perfect examples of delicious vegetarian dinner components.
