Vegetarian Portobello Quesadillas

Portobello & Cheese Quesadillas with Tomato Soup

During the Nine Days leading up to Tisha B’Av, Jewish communities traditionally refrain from eating meat and poultry. While this is a deeply rooted custom, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to explore the delicious world of plant-based eating.

Everywhere you look these days, you’ll find proponents of a more meat-free lifestyle. Many experts suggest that cutting back on meat is not only great for our health, but it’s also crucial for a more sustainable planet. You don’t have to go fully vegan to make a difference—even cutting back for just a few days can have a positive impact. These nine days are the perfect time to test-drive some truly spectacular, satisfying vegetarian dinners.

When we talk about “meatless” as kosher consumers, we are referring to a diet free of red meat and poultry, while still happily enjoying fish, dairy, eggs, and plant-based proteins.

To make your meal planning effortless, we’ve gathered 16 incredible meatless mains your family will absolutely love.

    ” Healthy spaghetti “bolognese” ” is NOT a meatless recipe…
