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.
I love a good black bean burger. It has such a nice flavor profile that’s clearly not trying to be a beef substitute. Load it up with lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese, hot sauce, any condiments or toppings you like on a sandwich.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is always a winner during the colder months.
Can’t go wrong with a big tray of roasted veggies. Chop up some potatoes, broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, etc. Drizzle of olive oil, lightly salt and pepper, throw it in the oven, bon appétit.
A PB&J or a PB & Banana is a solid go-to.
A basic quiche is mainly eggs, spinach, and cheese.
Ramen and other pasta dishes that don’t require meat. Some pasta, tomato sauce, cheese, and seasonings can go a long way. Fettuccine alfredo is another good one.
Ramen almost always uses fish in the stock.
You can make a good ramen stock with vegetable broth, miso paste, soy sauce, and seaweed. Its takes like 5 mins to make too, just heat and mix.
