Main dishes: frequently asked questions

Which main dishes are low carb?

Dishes built on vegetables and protein with few starchy sides like rice or pasta are naturally low in carbs. Stuffed peppers, vegetable bakes, curries and patties are good examples and are labelled accordingly in this category.

Are there vegetarian main dishes?

Yes, plenty. From stuffed peppers with tofu and feta to vegetable bakes and patties, you will find satisfying dishes entirely without meat.

Can I prep these meals ahead?

Many main dishes are great for batch cooking and reheating. Bakes, soups and curries often taste even better the next day.
