Holy Week is approaching, and with it, the tradition of consuming fish as the main dish. However, for those looking to vary their menu and not wanting to limit themselves to seafood, there are multiple delicious and satisfying alternatives.
From a provoleta with sun-dried tomatoes to an omelet filled with cheeses and vegetables, there are options that can please different tastes and needs. Some people, due to personal preferences or dietary restrictions, opt for other alternatives like the traditional Argentine barbecue, regardless of whether they follow the religious tradition or not.
For those seeking options without fish or meat, dishes like ricotta and spinach ravioli, pumpkin sorrentinos, gnocchi with mushroom sauce, potato tortilla, zucchini pie or spinach and cheese quiche can be ideal. Legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans, can also take center stage in the celebration.
Roasted or grilled vegetables are an excellent alternative, as are dishes like eggplants, squashes, peppers, and mushrooms cooked with spices and herbs. Cheeses and eggs are perfect allies to provide protein and texture to the dishes, such as a meatless lentil stew, a chickpea salad with fresh vegetables, or black bean burgers.
Those who prefer flour-free options can enjoy dishes like roasted or grilled vegetables, risotto with mushrooms, saffron, or asparagus, vegetable tortillas, and pies, which are light yet nutritious. It is important to plan Holy Week meals in advance, considering both traditional dishes and creative alternatives that maintain the spirit of the celebration without losing flavor or variety.
