Plant-based recipes feature seasonal vegetables and lentils

Various plant-based recipes highlight seasonal and Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. One approach features a vegetarian cassoulet, a lighter version of the traditional French dish that utilizes seasonal vegetables such as eggplant, peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash paired with creamy white beans in a tomato sauce.

Another recipe focuses on a lemony lentil and roasted eggplant salad. This dish combines French green lentils with roasted vegetables, feta cheese, toasted almonds, and a harissa-tahini sauce, utilizing a lemon-parsley dressing to create a meal high in fiber and plant protein.
