VEG OUT
Worried a veggie diet won’t support your training regime? Anita Bean’s latest book The Vegetarian Athlete’s Cookbook will convince you otherwise. Try these three dinners from the 100-strong recipe collection for a tempting insight into the nutrient-rich and flavour-packed recipes on offer…
CHICKPEA AND VEGETABLE TAGINE WITH COUSCOUS
Perfect for a mid–week refuelling supper, this mildly spiced Moroccan–inspired tagine is packed with protein, vitamins and fibre. The dried apricots soften as the dish cooks and impart the most wonderful flavour and texture contrast – not to mention lots of beta–carotene and iron. I recommend making it in advance – the flavours blend and improve. You can make a larger quantity and keep the remainder in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
Ingredients (serves 2)
• 1 tbsp light olive or rapeseed oil

• 1 garlic clove, crushed
