🌿 Meatless Monday Sri Lanka enjoys discovering how familiar meals that has innovated through thoughtfully selected plant-based ingredients and local flavours.
This time, we tried:

🍕 Quattro Stagioni Pizza
Fresh tomato sauce, house-made coconut cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers, black olives, and oregano on a dough made with locally sourced ingredients, including kurakkan. Rather than recreating a traditional pizza, each ingredient brings its own flavour and character to the plate.

🍝 Pomodoro Ravioli
Fresh ravioli served in a tomato sauce with sage, garlic, and olive oil. A simple, satisfying dish that shows how good ingredients can speak for themselves.

🍫 Chocolate Cannolo
A crisp pastry shell with a smooth chocolate filling. Reimagining this Italian snack without dairy or eggs is no easy task, making it a memorable way to end the meal.
Plant-based cooking is not about taking something away. It is about reimagining familiar recipes with care while celebrating the ingredients, flavours, and traditions that make them special.

We enjoyed these dishes at Dolce Italia , 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 5. 🇮🇹🌱
