It is hard to imagine a Russian traditional feast without an abundance of meat and fish dishes, which are often not only non-dietary, but also unhealthy and non-ecological. But do vegans really have to celebrate all the holidays with a meager and ordinary menu? Of course not. There are many excellent dishes that will make a vegetarian holiday table tasty, healthy and dietary.

Diet food

Diet food is a well-composed menu by a specialist, which is aimed at losing weight or maintaining health. Basic dietary rules:

1. The correct mode of eating. Between breakfast, lunch and dinner should be 3-4 hours.
2. Refusal of late dinners. The last meal should take place no earlier than 3 hours before bedtime.
3. Food must be chewed thoroughly.
4. Unloading day once a week.
5. Refusal of fried, flour, high-calorie foods.
6. Balanced diet. The amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates should be within the normal range.
7. Sufficient amount of water.

Important! Don't forget sports. It is not necessary to exhaust yourself with hard workouts in the gym, it is enough to do morning exercises and walk more.

Peculiarities

Preparing dietary vegetarian dishes for the festive table is not at all difficult. To do this, it is enough to get rid of foods with a high content of carbohydrates and an above-average glycemic index.

And if everything is clear and understandable with the first point, it includes rice, potatoes, flour, legumes, then the second one causes difficulties. Completely dietary and healthy vegetables, such as carrots and beets, lose all their benefits during the cooking process. This is due to the fact that after heat treatment in these vegetables, the amount of glucose, that is, carbohydrates, increases, which increases the energy value of the finished dish.

Interesting! There are foods that are excellent for preparing vegetarian diets. These are tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, broccoli. All these products can be processed in a dietary way: they can be boiled, baked, steamed or in a slow cooker.

• Potato - 6 tubers;
• Onion turnip - 2 heads;

How to cook Vegetarian Mushroom Roll

Boil potatoes

1. Peel potatoes and boil in salted water for 30 minutes. Then we drain the water, mash the potatoes into a thick mass (mashed potatoes), mix with flour and leave to cool.

Preparing the stuffing for the roll

1. Chop the onion into small cubes, cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
2. On high heat in vegetable oil, fry the onion until golden brown, then add the mushrooms and fry everything together for another 5 minutes. After the end of frying, salt the filling, pepper to taste and leave to cool.
3. We spread parchment on the table and additionally grease it with vegetable oil. Then we spread the cooled potato mass on it, roll it into an even rectangular layer, 1-1.5 cm thick.
4. Distribute the mushroom filling on top, then spread the grated cheese on it and carefully wrap everything in a roll.
5. We spread the potato roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the seam down and send it to the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 200 ° C.

If your diet allows the use of eggs, then 2 eggs can be added to the potato mass, and boiled eggs can also be placed (as a filling) in the middle of the roll.

This roll can also be baked in the dough. To do this, put the finished roll on a layer of dough rolled out in a baking sheet (puff or plain yeast) and cover it with dough cut into ribbons on top, like a kulebyaku. Cooking times and temperatures are the same.
