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.
If vegan lasagna isn’t important, a veggie lasagna is about as much work as meat.
You just replace the meat sauce with basically any veggie. There are two things you need to watch out for. The first is moisture content, items like frozen spinach should have as much water squeezed out as possible or it may be soggy. The other is salt, you’d salt the meat sauce so don’t omit it for the veggies.
I’m perfectly happy to eat meat in most contexts, but lasagna is definitely worse with it. The meat hogs center stage.
