200 plant-forward recipes for the modern-day omnivore looking to eat less meat

Vegetables take center stage in globally inspired healthy plates, perfect for anyone following a Mediterranean diet

Attention plant-curious cooks, semi-vegetarians, even conflicted carnivores—anyone with a motive to eat less meat. This vibrant collection fills a needed middle ground with meals that center vegetables while keeping meat on the table in a smaller and occasional—but still satisfying—role. (About half the recipes include meat in some form.)

• Green Up Comfort Favorites: Swiss Chard Enchiladas, Chicken and Parsnip Shawarma, and Thai Green Curry with Butternut Squash and Kale layer in vegetables and give dinner a new look.
• Mostly Meatless Meatballs, Blended Burgers: We grind mushrooms with beef for umami-rich burgers that drip with savory juices, and rethink meatballs, too. One bite and you won’t want to go back to the originals.

• Vegetables at the Center (with a Little Meat): Reimagine roast chicken as a veggie-filled sheet pan dinner. Embrace anchovies, pancetta, and chorizo to add savor to almost anything. Customize a balanced grain or noodle bowl with meaty add-ins.

• Protein-Packed Meatless Mainstays: Greek Gigantes Plaki, Tofu Katsu Sandwiches, Bean Bourguignon, and Loaded Sweet Potato Wedges offer hearty, plant-based satisfaction.  
• Mediterranean Diet Friendly: Anyone following the nutritional parameters of a Mediterranean diet will find plenty to fill their plate.
