What's your favourite meat free dinner?

[XBenedict]

DH and I would like to have a "meat free Monday" in an attempt to cut down on the amount of meat we eat but I only have a couple of veg recipes in my list of favourites. What are you favourites/recommendations? (Including websites/mags/books)

Fritata with salad and skinny fries, quiche, dhal and rice, vegetable curry and rice, pasta and tomato sauce, jacket pots with beans and cheese, pasta carbonara with mushrooms and no pancetta. macaroni cheese with a salad

Mines is macaroni cheese or omelette both quick and comforting too

Cheese and caramelised onion quiche.
Veg lasagne is also really good.
Felafel in pitta with houmous and couscous.
Mixed bean chilli.
I find the bbc goodfood site to be full of inspiration for tasty veg dishes!

This. But I like lots of veggie food too.

spaghetti carbonara but I add wilted spinach or chard
aubergine Parmigiana
Patatas bravas
No idea what it's called but roll out puff pastry cover with sliced tomatoes and olives olive oil and pesto sauce. Bake in hot oven.

Chunky veg soup with dumplings

Courgette and feta pie

On Sundays I make a big slowcooker pot of lentil based soup or stew, it's different every time depending on what veg etc I have. Then have it on both Sunday and Monday night with either pasta or bread. Minimal effort and tastes better on the second day.

This week it was onion, pepper, garlic, broad bean, tomato, spinach, passata and red lentil. I whack in as much frozen pre chopped veg as I can, pour a little boiling water over then leave it while we have breakfast so it defrosts first.

Aloo Gobi is my new best thing!

Bean nachos with all the extras, chilli bean stew with garlic bread on top, thai veg curry, any type of rissoto but especially pesto, mushroom pasta, aubergine bake, pizza, jacket potatoes, I love vegetarian food despite being a meat eater.

Mine is sweet potato and chick pea curry. Soooo easy to make , works well in slow cooker and is pretty cheap to. I love it

Ooh talking of tofu -

Press block tofu between two plates with weights on top until it goes dense and lots of the water has come out.

Mix oil and soy sauce in a bowl and dip slices of the pressed tofu in it.

Put the slices on a non-stick baking sheet and sprinkle sesame seeds over.

Bake until crunchy.

Use in stir fries, or as a side or starter, eg in Chinese pancakes with a plum or hoisin sauce. Gorgeous.

Anything out of River Cottage Veg Every Day!

I can honestly say it's changed our lives. Saved us loads of money, DH & I have both lost a bit of weight buy eating better, healthier food and even DH has to admit he's really enjoying it, having been a committed carnivore. We now only eat meat 2-3 times a week.

Last week's favourite was the Courgette Spouffle

Pasta and home made pasta and red pepper sauce, with a shed load of cheese through the pasta before adding the cheese. I eat this whenever I can

Tomato and red pepper sauce, not pasta and red pepper sauce, that would be too much pasta...

Oh yes, and potato and spinach curry ŵith waxy potatoes.

Pasta with aubergine pesto and some extra veg thrown in.

Soup.

Roasted sweet potato (ok, not strictly a meal, but that's what I've had for tea and it was yummy.)
