Challenge #34: Vegetarian

[miss_s_b]

Your challenge this week is to cook something vegetarian. This may be more of a challenge for some of you than others ;) How you interpret the word vegetarian is up to you, but if you want to know The Vegetarian Society's Definition, it is:

A vegetarian is someone who lives on a diet of grains, pulses, legumes, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, fungi, algae, yeast and/or some other non-animal-based foods (e.g. salt) with, or without, dairy products, honey and/or eggs. A vegetarian does not eat foods that consist of, or have been produced with the aid of products consisting of or created from, any part of the body of a living or dead animal. This includes meat, poultry, fish, shellfish*, insects, by-products of slaughter** or any food made with processing aids created from these.

* Shellfish are typically ‘a sea animal covered with a shell’. We take shellfish to mean:

• Crustaceans (hard external shell) e.g. lobsters, crayfish, crabs, prawns, shrimps
• Molluscs (most are protected by a shell) e.g. mussels, oysters, winkles, limpets, clams, etc. Also includes cephalopods such as cuttlefish, squid, octopus.

** By-products of slaughter includes gelatine, isinglass and animal rennet.

I actually did last week's challenge (carrots) but didn't get around to posting about it. Although it would fit with this week's challenge too!
