\"National<\/a>
\nFor National Vegetarian Week<\/a>, here’s a couple of my favourite recipes to get you started – one is a great quick solution when you’re pressed for time, and the other is a great recipe taking advantage of delicious in-season vegetables which is perfect for a picnic. I always have some ingredients in the fridge and cupboard for a stir-fry, as it’s a great way to make a quick, filling and nutritious meal – even non-veggie family members will love it!
\n<\/p>\n

Stir-fry with broccoli and brown rice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prep:10 mins
\nCook:20 mins
\nServes 2<\/p>\n

Per serving:
\n436 kcal, 24g protein, 58g carbs, 11g fat (2g saturated), 6g fibre, 16g sugar, 2g salt<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n200g trimmed broccoli florets
\n150g tofu<\/a> or chicken-style pieces (or similar vegetarian product), diced
\n250g cooked brown rice<\/a>
\n15g ginger, chopped
\n2 garlic cloves, chopped
\n1 red onion, sliced
\n1 roasted red pepper (from a jar is fine), cubed
\n2 tsp olive oil<\/a>
\n1 tsp mild chilli powder
\n1 tbsp soy sauce<\/a> (use reduced salt version if you prefer)
\n1 tbsp honey<\/a><\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>
\nIn a medium pan, pour boiling water over the broccoli then boil for 4 mins.
\nHeat the olive oil in a non-stick wok and stir-fry the ginger, garlic and onion for 2 mins, add the mild chilli powder and stir briefly. Add the vegetarian, chicken-style pieces and stir-fry for 2 mins more. Drain the broccoli and reserve the water. Tip the broccoli into the wok with the soy, honey, red pepper and 4 tbsp broccoli water then cook until heated through. Meanwhile, heat the rice following the pack instructions and serve with the stir-fry.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry if you don’t have broccoli to hand – this type of stir-fry goes brilliantly with so many kinds of vegetables! Try some asparagus, peppers or mange tout (or whatever you fancy).<\/p>\n

Seasonal fennel, pomegranate & broad bean salad<\/strong>
\nPrep: 20 mins
\nNo cooking time
\nServes 6<\/p>\n

Nutrition per serving
\n335 kcal, 11g protein, 38g carbs, 13g fat (2g saturated), 9g fibre, 6g sugar, 0.3g salt<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n200g bulgar\/bulgur wheat<\/a>
\nsmall bunch mint, finely chopped
\nsmall bunch parsley, finely chopped
\nsmall bunch dill, finely chopped
\n1 fennel bulb, core removed and thinly sliced
\n200g pomegranate seeds
\n350g (weight before skinning) fresh or frozen broad beans
\n2 tbsp pumpkin seeds<\/a>
\nlarge handful rocket or watercress
\npinch of salt<\/p>\n

For the dressing:
\nzest and juice of 1 lemon
\n5 tbsp rapeseed<\/a> or extra virgin olive oil<\/a>
\n2 tbsp cider vinegar<\/a>
\n1 tbsp Dijon or your favourite mustard<\/a><\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>
\nBoil the kettle and put the bulghar wheat in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Pour over enough boiling water to just cover the bulgar, cover with cling film and set aside for 10 mins.
\nPut the ingredients for the dressing in a jam jar or small bottle with some seasoning, screw on the lid and shake well. Uncover the bulgar wheat and, if there is any water left in the bowl, drain the bulgar, then tip into a large container for transporting. Add the herbs, fennel, pomegranate seeds, broad beans and pumpkin seeds, and toss everything together. Top with the salad leaves and pack the jam jar of salad dressing separately.
\nBefore serving, drizzle over the dressing and toss everything together.<\/p>\n
