Easy Weeknight Vegetarian Main Dishes

Published on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, by CHOW Food Team / Edit Post

Too often, recipes for vegetarian entrées seem more like side dishes masquerading as mains, or they rely on loads of fatty cheese or butter for flavor. CHOW's test kitchen created six vegetarian mains that are inspired by global cuisines and easy enough for a weeknight dinner. They're satisfying, delicious, and pretty darn healthy—we only snuck cheese into one.

  • Just sent these wonderful recipes to my veggy children and grand children, and can't wait to try them myself!

  • Oh, yum!

  • Good looking dishes. There are a couple of my favorites there already, but a couple new ideas that just make sense as good hearty vegetarian meals. Gotta try that eggplant mushroom bake.
