Low Calorie Vegetarian Dishes


With Government health guidelines encouraging us to eat more vegetables and eat less meat, vegetarian dishes are a good alternative. With so much variety in low calorie versions available, you may find you're spoilt for choice. The panel, as always, are on hand to steer you in the right direction... 


Mushroom Stroganoff

Mushroom Stroganoff, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

Hard to believe this is a low calorie dish! Plenty of sliced mushrooms in a creamy (yes, creamy!) sauce accompanied by a delicious red pepper and herb rice. Good sized portion, good flavours, and contrasting textures. The panel were impressed.

Vegetable Enchiladas

Vegetable Enchiladas, Good for You, Asda*

Looks nice, tastes nice. Lots of chunky vegetables and a spicy (but not too spicy!) flavour. Good portion, lots of interest - complete meal on it own. Highly recommended.

Lasagne

Lasagne, Linda McCartney*

Not obviously vegetarian - the dish had the taste and texture of a traditional lasagne. A lovely flavour and creamy sauce, makes this one highly recommended.

Moroccan Vegetables

Moroccan Vegetables, Count On Us, Marks & Spencer*

Despite an interesting appearance (spicy, tasty, chunky vegetables... ), this dish was bland with a watery taste. Disappointing.

Lemon and Mint Risotto

Lemon and Mint Risotto, Perfectly Balanced, Waitrose*

A bland, stodgy and gruel-like dish. It had an unappetizing appearance, and a strong minty taste which overpowered. With so little flavour and lots of fat, this is best avoided.

Conclusion

Sainsbury's BGTY Mushroom Stroganoff had the lowest fat content, and the largest quantity - pair this with its delicious creamy taste and texture, and you've got a low calorie vegetarian dish that won't leave you feeling deprived. If you're not much of a vegetable lover, try Linda McCartney's Lasagne, good meaty taste without the meat. Asda's GFY Vegetable Enchiladas also come highly recommended.
