My grandfather might be suffering from dementia, and forgets to cook for himself. Looking for decent vegetarian/vegan recipes that he could easily microwave. He's an old school quebecois, recently gone off meats and isn't a fan of spicy foods. It'd be greatly appreciated if you folks could give me some ideas.
Pea soup is something i had in mind, but i can't think of what to replace pork hocks with.
Just season it extra to compensate for the salt being lost. If you really want to you could add some "meaty" vegetables, sauted mushrooms, whatevs. Also plenty of olive oil to replace the fat.
MSG, butter or cream, smoked paprika, and a splash of apple cider vinegar
Just don't put pork hocks in? Like why would you even do that?
Smoked paprika adds a nice Smokey bite, and just add a little extra oil to compensate for the lack of fat. If you have the extra money, some veggie bacon can be good here.
