Yummy Vego Meals

Dave and I decided we want to do vego once a week, apparently Michael Pollan (author of the omnivore's dilemma said that it would help the environment even just with not eating meat once a week).

So here I go:

Arborio rice, brown swiss & button mushrooms, leek and a sprig of thyme

Pumpkin, pinenuts & baby spinach
Caramelised roasted pumpkin


Risotto cooking on the stove

Our dinner:
Oven roasted pumpkin, pinenut & baby spinach salad with balsamic vinegar dressing served with mushroom risotto. (there's parmesan on it cos its not vegan but vegetarian)

And on another night, I got lazy so I just made a mushroom and corn kernal soba. It was actually really fresh & light. Didn't miss the meat. Or cos mushrooms possess what they call the umami taste, the fifth taste associated with savouries & glutamates.
