Fresh vegetables and fruits are high in antioxidants, phytochemicals, and flavonoids. Even if you love meat and seafood, you must include more vegetables in your diet. The best way to do that is to go meat-free at least once a week. People around the world have been observing meat-free Mondays with a plant-based diet. Check out these scrumptious plant-based recipes that every meat lover will love: 

Creamy Mushroom Risotto

Create this classic Italian dish with easily available brown basmati rice instead of arborio rice. Sauté a few garlic cloves in olive oil. Create a roux by adding flour to milk. Keep stirring till it gets saucy. Add a few knobs of butter, and grated parmesan. In a separate pan, roast an assortment of mushrooms until toasty. Add the cooked rice and a splash of white wine. Add the roasted mushrooms, and fresh thyme leaves. Serve the risotto in a pasta bowl. Finish with a grating of parmesan cheese and top with some fresh thyme leaves.
