Tha na seòid a’ dèanamh rud a tha mì-nàdarrach dhaibh – biadh gun fheòil. Out of their cooking comfort zone, the lads cook vegetarian food.

Tha na seòid a’ cur dùbhlan romhpa fhèin gus biadh gun fheòil a dhèanamh. Ged a tha iad daonnan a’ cleachdadh glasraich nan cuid chòcaireachd, ’s ann glè ainneamh a bhios iad a’ dèanamh càil às aonais feòla. Anns a’ phrògram seo, tha Ùisdean a’ dèanamh sùth glasraich agus a’ bruich stèig – stèig càl-chollaig! Tha Roddy a’ deasachadh sailead Leabanach – Fattouche. A bharrachd air a’ sin, tiops halloumi agus tiops mearag-bheag, mus tòisich e air an ath reasabaidh – brot blasta le mearag-bheag, nudailean agus miso. Abair fèiste do ghlasraichear sam bith.

The lads take on a self-enforced challenge, to cook vegetarian food. Although they always use vegetables in the kitchen, they rarely leave meats behind. Uisdean makes a solid vegetable stock, and cooks a steak – a cauliflower steak! Roddy prepares a Lebanese dish, fattouche salad. To snack on between cooking the next recipe, he makes halloumi and courgette fries. As a starter he makes a tasty courgette noodle miso soup. A feast of tasty foods to satisfy the vegetarian palate.
