Vegetable Overload

I’m a committed carnivore and very few days in my life have gone by without some sort of meat consumption taking place. I’m also someone who dabbles in the art of cooking (with mixed results). Yesterday evening I invited some friends over for dinner but there was a catch – one of them was a vegetarian. Meat and fish were out so it was time to learn something new…

After hitting up some vegi friends on Facebook, the Epicurious iPhone app and the wonderful BBC Good Food website I came across a recipe that looked suitably delicious and simple to make – a vegetable chilli bowl made with mushrooms, tomatoes, green beans, red kidney beans, cumin, and served with crème fraîche (sour cream) and bread. I also added half an onion and some coriander I had lying around. That’s a lot of veg for a staunch meat-eater!

It seemed to go down pretty well and after this experience, I’m definitely up for learning some more vegetarian dishes 🙂
