This week, we’re thinking about protein (and who isn’t?). Plant-based proteins are having a moment—and for good reason. From beans and lentils to nuts, seeds, and whole grains, they offer a nourishing, affordable way to build meals that are both satisfying and sustainable.

Sesame Miso Tofu with Asian Greens - Edible Communities | Did someone say Meatless Monday? This may look like a single recipe, but in fact it delivers tons of options that my family loves. I regularly make the marinated tofu to accompany rice and greens, to stuff into sandwiches, or simply to snack on. | | | Beet and Toasted Almond Hummus - Edible Southeastern Massachusetts | The earthy sweetness of roasted beets pairs perfectly with the rich nuttiness of toasted almonds, while a squeeze of lemon brightens every bite. | | | Don't be afraid to really char your pods, as the blackened spots are essential to the overall flavor. When you've eaten edamame in the past, they were probably served at a Japanese restaurant with some salt sprinkled on top. My edamame recipe features a spicy, sticky coating that transforms this basic bean into a powerhouse of flavor. | | | |
Lemongrass Tempeh Crumbles - Edible Communities | This vegan twist on a typically meaty recipe will satisfy everyone around the table with its abundance of fragrant lemongrass and spicy sriracha. When my husband saw this on the counter, he mistook it for caramelized porky crumbles. Yes, they look alike, but these crumbles are vegan, with a citrusy and spicy edge. | | | Lentils Superfood - Edible San Francisco | The humble lentil has been nourishing humanity for thousands of years. As one of the most healthy and inexpensive sources of protein and iron on the planet, lentils are a legitimate superfood and are the perfect ingredient to warm your heart and soul. What are Lentils? | | | | eSEMA is Made Possible by | |
