A vegetarian dish for Earth Day
Happy Ea
rth Day! Both Monica and Elaine have written about how to make an impact on our planet through diet. What has come up again and again is moving away from animal products and trying vegetarian food.
Vegetarian Cassoulet is a hearty and healthy vegetarian meal to try in honor of our planet. Per serving there are 12 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protein. So even the biggest carnivore will feel satisfied after this meal. A nutritional profile of this recipe is available.
Don't forget to save this recipe to your Nutrition Data Pantry so you can try, as Elaine suggested, a "Veggie Day" once a week.

Great recipe! I can hardly wait to try it. To reduce the fat just cut back on the amount of oil that is used.
