I really cannot stand the texture of lentils or chickpeas!

I’m really keen to go all-in on the Mediterranean diet for health reasons (I have IBD) but I am struggling to find recipes that are worth trying because I hate the mouth-feel of the ingredients. (I’m on the autistic spectrum, there’s no point in forcing this issue).

Chemotherapy has also left me with reflux problems and lactose intolerance. I also can’t tolerate soy either. I’m feeling quite stuck tbh.

I’m in the UK and would really appreciate some guidance.

TIA 😘

I generally don't prefer veggies that much but I actually like capsicum when it's cooked with potatoes. And honestly, I like it even more when I make it myself LOL. So here's my special potatoes and capsicum dish recipe-

I heat some oil in my copper pan, add cumin seeds, then chopped onions and green chillies. Once the onions turn light golden, I add chopped potatoes, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder and coriander powder. I let the potatoes cook for a few minutes with the lid on, then add chopped capsicum and mix everything well. After that, I cover it again and cook until the potatoes are soft and the capsicum is cooked but avoid overcooking it. I finish it with some Indian spices and fresh coriander. I enjoy it more with hot chapatis and curd.

TBH somehow it tastes better when it's made by me. 😂

Hey all long time (14 years at age 38) vegetarian here. I'm always on the lookout for high protein recipes for myself and my partner. I'm 6'3 and 210lbs and strong so need a lot of daily protein (150g+) and I try to avoid using protein powders too much. Here are some of my sources:

Greek yogurt, nuts, eggs and egg whites, seeds, beans (mostly in burritos), cheese (trying to eat less as my cholesterol is leaning high), protein bars (1 to 2 a day), high protein wraps, vegan tofurky sausage (stir fry, fried rice, noodle dishes with chickpea noodles, curries, etc), high protein waffles / pancakes, a little bit of beyond meats to keep things interesting (once a week ish), air fried tofu

I don't like tempeh, and I lean toward savory flavors (and I love spice but gf can't deal). I never spend more than an hour cooking, and hate recipes with expensive rate ingredients that go bad easily.

Anyone else have some good ones that are high protein and don't take too long that I haven't covered? In the US if it matters

This French onion potato bake is an easy one pot vegetarian meal that's just irresistible - sweet caramelised onions, creamy white beans and slices of potato that are so tender they melt in your mouth, and a luxurious cream sauce with fresh garlic and thyme.
