Twitter Question: Vegetarian Main Dishes

By Jessica

Recently, fellow Lush writer Elsha asked for assistance replacing meat-heavy main dishes with more vegetarian offerings, on twitter:

"I would love a @foodlush post about what vegetarian/vegan main dishes you guys make! I rely a lot on meat."

The first thing I did in response to that request is send her a link to this post I did for Kristie (former Lush writer) as a round-up of easy to prepare main dishes during a busy time, for her, at work.

Some other vegetarian main dishes I love:

Jonna's grilled eggplant

Grilled stuffed avocado

Vegetarian chili dogs

Rachel Ray's eggplant stacks

Vegan enchiladas from Oh She Glows

Massaman Curry

Veggie naan pizza

Vegetable pot pie

Tortilla and black bean pie from Pink Parsley

And something else I've been eating lately as a quick main dish, I fry up an over easy egg and put it over the top of some veggies I've pan roasted in a cast iron skillet mixed with my favorite brown rice and quinoa blend. It sounds weird, but it's really so good.

Thanks! This is great!

I've found a lot of great recipes on Pinterest, and a couple of my go-to websites are http://lowfatveganchef.com and http://fatfreevegan.com. There are tons of great veggie ideas online these days. It makes it so much fun to go meat-free!

Oh, there's so much good vegetarian food. Tofu anything, seitan, falafel, black-eyed peas and rice, French lentils, frittata or quiche, homemade pizza, sesame noodles. Well, I could go on but I'll stop.

My dinner tonight was Ina Garten's eggplant gratin and it's so good and sooooooo easy! I would definitely add that to the list!
