Three Ways to Try Our Veggie Toad in the Hole
Recipe
Do you follow a vegetarian diet?
If not, National Vegetarian Week is the perfect opportunity to give a meat-free diet a go. There are so many fantastic, readily available, vegetarian alternatives (just like our meat-free Toad in the Holes of course 😉), so seven days without meat no longer seems so daunting. Currently, around 14% of adults are following a meat-free diet, that’s 7.2 million of the British population! It can’t be all that bad? 👀
And if you’re already vegetarian, this week is a great opportunity to get more experimental with your cooking and try some new recipes. This is where we come in!
Our Meat Free Toad in the Hole is the way to go if you’re looking for a delicious, classic veggie meal. Don’t be afraid to tuck in at any time of the day; lunch, or dinner, we’re not judging.
So, it’s time to stray away from the traditional, here are three ways to try our Toad in the Hole (other than with mash, peas and gravy) provided by the wonderful recipe writer Nadia, from Nadia’s Healthy Kitchen…
