Go meat-free with these delicious Vegetarian recipes
Ahead of National Vegetarian Week (10th – 16th May), why not give these veggie recipes from California Walnuts a try?
The mild and creamy flavour of California Walnuts means they can be used in sweet and savoury recipes. The taste, texture and nutrition benefits of California Walnuts also makes them a great plant-based meat substitute in many of your favourite meals.
California Walnuts are an essential staple in plant-based eating. California Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 2.7g/ 30g (approx. a handful) and offer 4.4g of protein and 1.4g of fibre[1]. Walnuts are also low in sugar and very low in salt[2].
Why not try making a meat free mince with California Walnuts, perfect for lasagne or Bolognese? Kick-start your day with California Walnut Crusted French Toast with Berries or add a handful of walnuts to your lunchtime salad. Tuck into a meat-free California Walnut Mince Lasagne or try a zesty lemon spaghetti using walnuts as a plant-based meat substitute. To satisfy a sweet-tooth craving? Enjoy a citrus walnut tart. It is the perfect time to get creative and whip up delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals.
