Mardi Gras is over (cue the tears). You know what else that means—Lent has arrived. Living in south Louisiana, we have it pretty easy. Our area has no shortage of some of the finest seafood in the country, and it helps make life easier for those trying to stick to a Lenten diet. We put together a list of some flavorful, delicious meatless dishes to satisfy a variety of cravings—including those moments when you just have to have a burger. Use this guide to find Lenten dishes to try for the next 40 days.
This list is by no means comprehensive. Tell us about your favorite Baton Rouge restaurants serving meatless options this Lent at [email protected].
Juicy, sauteed shrimp with colorful vegetables over garlic and cilantro masa cakes and chimichurri sauce—this one is sure to warm you up these last few weeks of winter.
