Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan – Week 4

Welcome to this week’s meal plan. I hope you have found the previous plans helpful. The aim of these plans is to help you plan your weekly meals. Whether you are trying to cut down on your meat intake, and you are looking for some vegetarian dinner inspiration or you’re a new vegetarian and you’re stuck for dinner ideas. I hope you find these plans helpful. You can follow them for the week or you can pick and choose one or two recipes. It’s up to you. All recipes cater for 4 servings. They can be adjusted to suit less or more by using the serving tool in the recipe cards. Toward the end of this page, I have included a shopping list and a store cupboard list. If you’d like to see last week’s meal plan you can find week 3 here.

Have a great week,

Monday - Mushroom & Broccoli Stir Fry

Ready in under 30 minutes this Vegan Mushroom and Broccoli Stir Fry is a healthy, quick and easy stir fry. This is a flexible dish so if you want you can add in even more veggies, I like to add bok choy or sugar snap peas sometimes, to switch it up a bit. And if you want to make this gluten-free, then just use your favourite gluten-free noodles or swap noodles for rice and use tamari instead of the soy sauce.

Tuesday - Veggie Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti bolognese is a staple comfort food in our house, whether it’s for an after school dinner or for an easy Saturday night supper, bolognese is a firm family favourite. This vegetarian bolognese takes a little longer than some of the other recipes this week but it's worth it. The result is rich and flavourful bolognese. The red wine is optional and if you are serving this to young ones then I would omit it altogether. You can switch out the soy sauce for tamari if you want to keep this gluten-free. And if you wish to make this vegan, just make sure the red wine is vegan and use vegan hard cheese for serving, and voila a vegan bolognese!

Wednesday - Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry

This Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry is a warming, comforting curry, perfect for when the weather turns and you need a quick tasty dinner after work or school. My family loves this and even though it was little more on the spicy side they still couldn’t get enough of it. We like to have this with basmati rice, however, I have had this with quinoa too. If you want to go all out, naan and popadom with good mango chutney is the way to go!

Thursday - Pan-Fried Gnocchi

This Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Spinach and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes is a delicious quick and easy weeknight dinner ready in under 30 minutes! It's a tasty and satisfying meal made with just a few good ingredients. The gnocchi is crispy on the outside, the cherry tomatoes are juicy and all that garlic is delicious. This is still one of the most requested dinners in my house!

Friday - Halloumi Burgers

Salty, sesame-crusted halloumi, fried until golden, served with meaty, juicy mushrooms, topped with red onion, rocket and coriander then finished off with a good helping of sticky, sweet and spicy mango chutney sauce, this is a burger with heaps of flavour. Ready in under 30 minutes these halloumi mushrooms burgers make for a quick and tasty dinner. Serve with some crispy baked wedges for a larger meal.
