*Meatless Meals |
|
In the decades when good nutrition meant meat, potatoes, and a green vegetable on every plate, little attention was paid to cuisines that produced perfectly healthy populations with hardly a speck of animal protein in their diets. Billions of Asians over the centuries have fed their bodies on bowls of rice, sesame seeds, soybeans, and vegetables. South Americans have been doing the same thing with cornmeal tortillas and beans for just as long. West Africans have learned to stave off starvation with a combination of peanuts and grains, and Caribbean cultures get high-quality proteins by eating beans and rice together. The argument that beans and grains are high-calorie starches has recently been used against them by carb-fearing dieters. But look at the facts. A pound of beef steak has more than three times the calories found in a pound of cooked kidney beans, and considering that an average serving of meat is between 6 and 10 ounces and an average portion of beans or rice is closer to 5 ounces, the ‘‘starch is fattening’’ argument loses much of its weight. In this chapter you will find dozens of recipes that deliver high-quality protein and powerful flavors without a speck of meat.
