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.

No oil needed. Easy to make and tastes amazing.

I throw some edamame in and give it a good squeeze of fresh lime to garnish.
Good vegetarian/vegan protein sources to substitute in your favorite recipes:
Seitan - pretty easy to make, use in place of chicken or steak. Great in fajitas, gyros, stir fry, etc.
TVP - super cheap and healthy substitute for ground beef. Use in pasta sauces, sloppy joes, chili, etc. Toss it in with some extra water in place of meat.
Tofu - recommended you freeze then thaw the tofu, dry it out good and pan fry until crispy. Excellent in stir fry, curry, noodles, etc.
