How to create a summer menu without meat?

In recent years, many people have wanted to reduce their consumption of meat products. Whether it's for health, ecological or ethical reasons, we can only encourage you in this process by offering you meat-free alternatives. You will also notice that most of the recipes, mainly based on vegetables and legumes, will also cost you less. Which is also good news for your wallet and budget!

Your summer menu without meat

What's better than hummus to start a meal? The recipe is easy to prepare and, moreover, it is an unsuspected source of protein. Indeed, cooked chickpeas contain more than 8 g of protein per 100 g, which is not negligible.
Furthermore, since it's summer, we offer you an original hummus with a seasonal product: peppers. Pre-roasted in the oven, it gives the recipe a grilled and slightly sweet flavour. A delight.

As a dish, we suggest you revisit the stuffed cherry tomatoes in a vegetarian version. Instead of the traditional stuffing of minced meat, they are stuffed with Carnaroli Riserva San Massimo rice with onions and tomato puree. Fresh herbs and feta will finally complete the recipe.
Also be sure to choose a suitable variety of tomato. If cherry tomatoes are perfect for an appetizer, and San Marzano are the queen of sauces but unfortunately they are not suitable for this recipe. We advise you to use vine tomatoes or ribbed tomatoes. Just be careful not to choose them too ripe, because they could release too much water and crumble during cooking.

To finish the meal, no difficulty on the horizon as it is rare to have a steak for dessert! The only drawback to avoid is to avoid offering fruit, if the appetizer and main course already contain vegetables. It's better to spread your fiber intake over several meals than to overdo it on just one. In the menu we offer, the hummus contains peppers and the main course contains tomatoes. Since the fiber quota has largely been reached, we offer you an artisan tart from the Azzolin Bakery . Perfect to end the meal on a refreshing and gourmet note.

Finally, a raspberry and hibiscus drink will not be too much to accompany you throughout the meal. Don't forget to add some ice cubes before serving, for an instant sensation of freshness.
