When I first started getting a CSA box, I was overwhelmed by all the vegetables I was getting every week. There seemed to only be so many ways to make a side dish or add greens to a recipe. One day it finally clicked: I can cook a recipe built around the vegetables.
Vegetarian dinners can be just as satisfying and filling, if not more so, than dishes that contain meat. Whether you want quick-and-easy tacos, corn-filled mac and cheese, or breakfast for dinner, you’re sure to find a few new vegetarian recipes to add to your weekly rotation here.

Vegan Stir-Fried Garlic Tofu and Eggplant
Crispy tofu is a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the cooked eggplant in this stir-fry. While both act as a bit of sponge for the sauce, it’s still nice to serve it over rice or noodles. A fresh sprinkle of basil is the perfect finishing touch.

Spinach and Refried Bean Quesadillas
Warm, crispy tortillas held together by melted cheese and refried beans – what’s not to love about this recipe? Straining the liquid out of the spinach keeps the filling from getting overly soggy while keeping the bitterness at bay.

Potato Risotto
The creamy texture of risotto typically comes from the constant stirring while it’s being made on the stovetop. The pressure cooker helps to release the starch from the grain, so you have the same result sans stirring.
