What are some vegetarian meals or dishes you think people should know about?
I’m pretty guilty of using meat as a crutch in most of my cooking. I’d love to hear about some good meals for inspiration. Ideally things that aren’t made to imitate/replace meat but exist well on their own.
Grilled Halloumi cheese burger.

I think, this would technically classify as a burrito, but like a lazy version of it.
Basically, I get in the shops:
- Soft corn tortillas
- Pre-cooked white beans (other pre-cooked beans probably work just as well; I believe black beans are used traditionally)
- A vegetable spread, e.g. chili or eggplant or the like.
- A bell pepper.
Chuck the beans with a bit of salt into the microwave. Cut the bell pepper into squares.
Put the vegetable spread onto the tortilla. Throw bell pepper and beans on top. Shove into mouth. Done.Only difficulty is that the individual ingredients need to be good. There is quite a quality range for tortillas, pre-cooked beans and vegetable spreads…

I make a mean vegetarian lasagna by replacing the meat with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.

Just a brick of cheese on a bun?

as much as I love meat, if I had to have a meal without it I’d opt for a portabello mushroom burger.
no specific recipes I use, but I do soak/marinate the mushroom in whatever flavor sauce or vinegrette I feel like before grilling.

I’ve been trying to get tofu worth the effort for years with no luck. Mapo tofu being the best so far.
I haven’t tried air frying it yet, though. So I’m definitely trying that one.
My husband who’s a resolute meat eater loves my air fried tofu and actually asks for it. I use homemade teriyaki sauce.

I like the Budget Bytes black bean burger.

Lentil curry (daal) is one of my staples. Indian vegetarian food in general is just fantastic.
I’ve long said that if a doctor told me my next bite of meat would kill me, Indian and Thai food would be the only things keeping me alive

Good choice. The cafe at my work uses pumpkin and it tastes like the realisation that your mother never loved you.

Grilled halloumi is phenomenal, grilling it changes the proteins in a similar way as cooking meat does, and it’s imo the best vegetarian (non-vegan) substitute for meat in a grilling context for that reason. I’ve also found a lot of meat eaters enjoy it as its own thing too.

Not sure I want to try something called “foul” but all this sounds worth trying.

Lentil dahl. Nutritious and tastyyyy. All Beyond meat products. Dont buy Redefine Meat and Gourmet Garden, they’re Israeli.

Sadly I got this idea from chipotle: I like to make a bowl of black beans, rice, caramelized onions and peppers and sprinkle on some shredded cheese. Adding a bit of guacamole is a nice touch too.

Why sadly?
Fast food is based on real dishes. If you can make it yourself with better ingredients, then that’s a great thing to do.
If I put a soft tortilla around a hard tortilla and make a taco, I can’t deny that it’s an idea from Taco Bell. But it’ll taste a lot better and be healthier.

Kenji lopez-alt has a relatively easy recipe that skips a lot of the constant stirring. I’ve also recently found that mixing in finely chopped or even just squished soft tofu replicates some of the creaminess of cream, while really bumping up the protein and making it vegan

A lot of South Asian food is naturally vegetarian or vegan. I make chana masala and lentil dahl a fair amount. Lots of flavour from the spices—there’s no need for meat.
I also like scrambled tofu, which you can season any way you like. I tend to put curry seasoning on it.
Avocado toast too, but that’s infrequent because avocados are expensive.
If you’ve never made creamy harissa butter beans I highly recommend it. One of the nicest vegan recipes I’ve made. If you’re not keen on spice, make sure to get mild harissa, as the spicy harissa gets quite spicy, speaking as someone who enjoys spice.
Generally I like any tofu dish. Tofu is often meant to accompany meats (traditionally at least) but I find that a lot of tofu dishes that traditionally have meat, work very well without the meat. My go-to lazy lunch is boiling some water with stock cubes and chucking in noodles, medium-firm tofu, a vegetable of my choice, and chilli crisp.

Another with the Dahl. Guess I can’t avoid trying it, then.
