Try lentils to replace minced beef - a couple of tins of lentils into a ragu to make a bolognese, you can then use that in a lasagna as well, or could make it into a chilli. Love the texture from the lentils and if you make a good soffrito it will be really tasty.
Or pulses to make a veggie chilli, chickpeas have such good texture as well, they're essential.
Ah man I can't stand chickpeas in chili, I find them kind of mealy. Kidneys, black eyes and lentils for me. But then I've only used tinned ones so maybe that's it
I do vegetarian for lent each year but did vegan this year and found it much harder, having to cut out eggs and cheese :-(
Yeah i'd probably not chuck chickpeas into the chilli, beans and lentils yeah. Though we chuck pulses into everything we eat. Also love a big pile of grated carrot into the sauce as well.
