Taking the leap to become a full-fledged vegetarian can be totally satisfying if you eat a balanced diet. And both your waistline AND your carbon footprint will shrink right before your eyes. Trim out the meat, and heap on the produce! My friend Patricia has decided to become a vegetarian so we're making a healthy meal that'll please her palate! We'll start with a Yucca Pancake with Jicama & Avocado salsa, bake up some Veggie Empanadas, dig into some Yellow Rice & Black Beans and sink our teeth into a Vegetarian Cuban Sandwich!
Emeril's Tips:
- If you've decided to become a vegetarian, make sure to vary your diet and eat produce that's interesting—items like passion fruit, jicama and lemongrass add zing to everyday meals.
- Get ethnic with your vegetarian meals. Adding exotic spices and herbs to your local produce gives you the best of both worlds.
