I've been eating more vegetarian dishes lately and have had fun learning a lot of new dishes, many of which are kind of all-in-one dishes like soups, "power bowls" or whatever you call them (rice, veggies, maybe beans, etc.), veggie stir fry, bean-based dishes, etc. However, I have realized that I miss simple veggie sides. What kind of vegetarian main dishes can I make to serve with some simple veggie sides?
I grew up with an Irish-American "meat, potato, and vegetable" trifecta for dinner and I am having trouble visualizing what that can look like for a vegetarian. It's mostly the vegetables I miss (I can take or leave the potato/starch, and obviously don't want meat), and just the whole concept of three separate flavors on my plate, but I need something to replace the meat. Beyond that it doesn't really need to resemble what I grew up eating.
So far I have come up with:
-Sandwiches
-Pasta
-Soup (although I don't typically eat a lot of soup so I like this more as a side and it's not typically filling enough for me)
-Maybe tacos with a veggie side? But I would need a simple taco template that is not just...more veggie inside a tortilla.
Any other suggestions? Bonus points for simplicity and providing a recipe! (Also any simple recipes for what I already included - pasta, tacos, etc. - are welcome)
P.S. I have not cooked tofu (...yet) and would be willing to try, but I'd like a lot of other options as well :) |
