During Lent, meat on Fridays is a no-no. But you don’t have to turn to the same fish dinner each week. These Lent dinner recipes give you plenty of options—sans seafood.
Lent is the period from Ash Wednesday to Easter. It is observed by many Christian traditions. They commemorate the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert. Observers abstain from meat on Fridays, with some giving it up for the entire season. When I was growing up, Lent usually meant lots of tuna noodle casserole and fish frys. But whether you don’t eat fish or are just tired of seafood, there are plenty more Lent recipes worth preparing.
These vegetarian dishes will change up your Lenten routine. There are so many options, you might be inclined to go meat-free throughout the whole Lenten season! From cheesy vegetarian casseroles and stews to vegan meals like bean burritos and plant-based shepherd’s pie,these lunch and dinner recipes prove that forgoing meat does not have to mean forgoing flavor.
You’re on your way to the ultimate Lenten meal plan. Remember, there are lots of ways to create umami flavor without meat, like incorporating nutritional yeast or soy sauce. Enjoy!
