What’s your go-to dinner on Meatless Mondays? Faith and chef Chris Prosperi dream up a panko-crusted Portobello mushroom burger with Gruyere melting down the sides. Alex Province gives his Portobello burger a Spanish accent, while Mark Raymond takes his in an Argentinian direction. If you’re ready to eat less meat, but not ready to give up meaty textures, Robin Asbell, a plant-based eater herself, shares recipes and ideas from her book, Plant-Based Meats. The gang noshes on Walnut-Cauliflower “Ground Meat” Tacos and sips Finca el Origen, the new vintage of a favorite Malbec.
