We've recently been trying to go for a vegetarian main meal once a week. My thinking is that in order for that to stick we'll need about six solid options to try. At present we're at four: there's a green lentil curry we enjoyed, a chickpea curry, the sunblush tomato risotto, and many of the pizzas we have are meat-free. I had hoped this would make a fifth solid option.
This meal came from "The Hairy Bikers' Mediterranean Adventure" (bit of a theme there). It was easy to put together, and fairly quick - in future I'll need to start earlier so that I can parallel the children's meals with the second bake in ours, rather than the first. But that's not a huge problem.
Unfortunately, the results were mixed - I quite enjoyed it, but LC was much less impressed. She just felt that it was missing something, a common trait of vegetarian meals.
The upshot of that is that we might have these again, but it may either be as a side dish for something else, or possibly with the addition of bacon. Either way, it won't serve as a fifth veggie option. A shame.
