Every year on the 1st of October, people around the world celebrate World Vegetarian Day,
00:06
kicking off a month full of events, from food tasting to lively discussions about plant-based living.
00:13
This October, I am joining people in exploring the wide variety of tasty, nutritious meat-free foods.
00:21
Whether you're a long-time vegetarian or just curious about plant-based cooking,
00:27
when people think of Italian cuisine, pasta, pizza and prosciutto often come to mind.
00:33
But there is another story, and that is one of fresh vegetables and regional dishes.
00:40
Italian vegetarian food is far from an afterthought, from hearty aubergine parmigiana in the south,
00:45
personal favourite of mine, to creamy risottos in the north.
00:48
It's a land that celebrates seasonality really well.
00:52
And it's just like this dish here, which is the red pesto and mozzarella arancini, from Gusto.
01:00
Oh!
01:01
I'm flying around.
01:03
If you weren't here, I wouldn't use a knife and fork.
01:07
If you're making risotto at home, no matter what flavour, this is the perfect way to use up the leftovers.
01:13
I'd say that with such confidence, I've never actually attempted it.
01:18
But I've seen other people do it, and it looks quite easy.
01:21
But not only are you eating plant-based, but you're also helping combat food waste, too.
01:28
Here's one for you.
01:29
Did you know that parmesan...
01:33
Look at that first.
01:34
Oh, gorgeous.
01:34
Parmesan is not actually vegetarian, because it includes animal rennet.
01:39
Obviously, you can get veggie parmesans.
01:45
Paella is one of Spain's most famous dishes, but it's not just for meat and seafood lovers.
01:52
Today, we're taking a look at a delicious twist on a classic vegetarian paella,
01:57
which is served up right here at Luguelita in Liverpool's corner of the albic dot.
02:01
This colourful dish combines fresh vegetables, fragrant rice,
02:08
perfectly cooked to create a meal that's full of flavour and completely plant-based.
02:12
From red peppers to mushrooms, tender stem broccoli on top,
02:18
and, of course, a good squeeze of lemon.
02:22
Let's do the taste test there, love.
02:24
Look at the yellowness of the rice and the pear.
02:28
Some gorgeous saffron.
02:30
Put it piping hot.
02:31
Mmm.
02:36
That is absolutely delicious.
02:39
As well as for those looking to come back on meat,
02:42
it's a great way to showcase seasonal produce.
02:45
So whether you're a long-time vegetarian or just curious about plant-based cooking,
02:49
this paella frouge,
02:51
you don't need meat or seafood to enjoy a quality, satisfying meal.
02:56
We'll see how many friends come now after this.
03:01
Cheers.
