5 meat-free meals that aren’t salad

By Melissa Wentzel, 15 February 2018

We South Africans love our meat. The benefits of a few meat-free meals, however, include a reduced water footprint, and a bit more change in your wallet.

You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the rich flavours of these meat-free meals.

THE CURRY

Cook's note: "On a visit to India eight years ago, I tasted dhal curry and all my childhood memories came flooding back and I missed my mom terribly. After that trip, I found myself embracing lentils again." Dorah Sitole
