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 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.

        Dairy doesn’t affect me in that way. I suppose the lactose intolerant should beware. But the most voracious cheese eaters I know are mostly lactose intolerant, so they probably won’t.
