A vegetarian week of dinners
Seven meat-free dinners from five cooks, with eggs, tofu, beans and lentils for protein. About $28.67 for two people for the week ($2.05 a serving) at typical US grocery prices, against roughly $210 as takeout.
The week
Five cooks cover seven dinners for two: the two bigger cooks each make a second dinner later in the week.
Why these dinners
Every dinner here is meat- and fish-free going by its ingredients. Where a cuisine usually seasons with fish sauce or dashi, use a vegan fish sauce or kombu dashi instead.
What helps in this week: chickpeas, canned tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, peanut butter, cucumber, green onion, broccoli, eggs, rice mix.
