Main Dishes
Main dishes refer to a meal’s primary or central component, typically consisting of a protein source (such as meat, fish, poultry, tofu, or legumes) accompanied by complementary side dishes like vegetables, grains, or starches. Main dishes are often considered the focal point of a meal and provide the bulk of its nutritional content and flavor. They can vary widely in preparation methods, flavors, and cultural influences, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences. Main dishes are commonly served during lunch and dinner and are integral to creating a balanced and satisfying meal.
