Grilled gumbo
T-minus two days and counting to the beginning of Lent. For those of us who observe Lent, it means giving up something you really, really love. For me, it’s usually hamburgers but I’m going to really stretch it this year and become a vegetarian three days a week. Mark almost had a heart attack when I told him. He’ll be down at the Sonic a lot.
I have not yet figured out what sorts of vegetarian things I’m going to make since I am a committed meat eater and especially a devotee of pork in all it’s various forms of glory. So if any of you want to throw me some vegetarian recipes, I’m all ears and eyes.
What I will not be eating is my glorious grilled gumbo, which has sausage, chicken and pulled pork. But you can hop on over to the Char-Broil site and get the recipe for yourself. Go on. Get on over there.
Sounds delish! The hubby and I went to veggie only for one meal a week a year or so ago. At first it was really hard but then I realized it wasn’t that hard and I didn’t really miss it (and coming from a Texan, that says a lot)! A couple recipes I really like are: Rice stuffed peppers, asparagus risotto (although I often cheat and use chicken stock on this one), ginger fried rice, veggie lasagna, and (of course) cheese enchiladas. You’d be surprised how many Asian and Mexican dishes are just as delicious without the meat! Good luck!!!
Thanks! I had forgotten I have a killer ginger fried rice recipe that calls for a fried egg on top. All the suggestions are great.
