We're Off the Grid...

The meat grid. Yep, it's another meat-free Lent at casa Perez. We started a bit late due to having Oliver's study group over on Sunday night for carnitas, but as of Monday we're all-veg (at least when we're cooking at home - eating out is another thing).

We've had some winners and some losers! The big winner was last night's biryani - an Indian rice and vegetable dish. It had great Indian spices with carrots, onions, peas, edamame, red potatoes and green beans. Tonight's was not so great. It was supposed to be sweet potato burgers - basically a sweet potato meatloaf-y kind of thing made into burgers but they were too mushy and it was just too much starch on a bun. The sides of roasted red potatoes and snow peas with water chestnuts were good but the "burgers" were not a keeper!
