No Meat May

It’s the texture of tofu that I don’t like but I’ve just had smoky tofu and found it really tasty. The smoking process also makes it firmer. Worth a try.

Vegetable lasagne

I have been vegetarian for forty years. I also despise tofu and anything else masquerading as meat. It took many years to get to a point where I could plan meals that did not attempt to replicate a meat based meal. I would suggest you eat fish in May and perhaps try one meal a week that is plant based. This way you can etill enjoy your food without thinking you have to reinvent the wheel.
I had mujadra tonight: fried onions with spiced lentils and rice. Very simple and utterly delicious. I mention it precisely because meat eaters usually react to this dish as being very odd and lacking in a number of things. Homity pie at the weekend I think.

I have the same trouble trying to lose weight on a vegetarian diet. A plateful of salad or vegetables is not satisfying but all the vegetarian sources of protein are either full of carbs (lentils, grains) or full of fat (cheese)
I don’t want to eat meat or fish at all but they are tasty, satisfying and full of protein. Plants aren’t.

We eat a lot of various vegetable curries

Investigate Indian vegetable dishes; dahl, bhaji etc. Fried mushrooms or plum tomatoes on toast are nice but probably too snacky for your requirements. Ratatouille or baked beans with jacket potatoes. Vegetarian pizza or quiche.

Just some random ideas off the top of my head.

I am vegetarian BTW.

ferry please may I move in? You like and dislike exactly what I do. I enjoy vegetarian curries and stir fries. I am not a fan of lentils which knocks out many dishes.

I do enjoy fish but not seven days a week.

Aubergine parmigiana.
Three bean chilli.
Mushroom risotto or stroganoff.
Smoky beetroot goulash.
Sweet potato and Black Bean stew.

And loads more.

I eat chicken and fish but rarely red meat.

You could meet it all half way as it were.

I alternate - 3 days. Meat, fish and veggie. That works OK.

We have a mushroom & leek pasta pie which is very carb-heavy but utterly delicious and we can never eat all of it.(no pulses, tofu or paneer although there is cream cheese but you could use a bit of stock & mix in some parmesan before baking instead)
A quarter of that with a veg side, or a salad, would satisfy any carnivore.
I think it's a Gino da Campo recipe, his veggie recipes are pretty hearty, Jamie Oliver also cooks lots of veggie dishes that look very substantial.
