During the 9 days leading up to the fast on Tisha B’av it is a custom to refrain from meat. A meatless menu for the 9 days can keep you busy with pizza (we have 100), pasta and potatoes. And if that’s you’re thing and you’re OK with it then may I recommend my Peach and Arugula Pizza, it’s to die for!
Don’t miss out on my Light Fettuccine Alfredo
If you’d like to try something different this year and spice up your meatless recipe repertoire then I have a few new dishes just for you.
My Caraway Noodle Cakes with Red Cabbage and Horseradish Sour Cream are totally from another planet.
Yes I know it’s still pasta but not in the traditional Baked Ziti or Creamy Dreamy Pink Linguine sense. Ever since eating my first scallion pancake when I was 15, the summer I worked as a secretary for my dad’s law firm (there was a Chinese restaurant in the building), I became totally obsessed with all kinds of savory pancakes.

and these Wild Rice Pancakes
Okay, I know you don’t want to serve a pancake for every meal, so I got you.
The other recipe I promised you comes from Australia via Woodmere courtesy of my dear friend Naomi Nachman, aka the Aussie Gourmet. Her Nut Crusted Salmon with Creamy Chrain Sauce uses a base of mayonnaise mixed with horseradish to keep the fish moist and is topped with crushed nuts of your choice although she recommends pistachios, which I adore.
There are a few other ingredients in there so click here for the full recipe.
Ooooh and one more goodie…. my Mexican Baked Potato
Staying on the baked potato front but switching it up to sweet potato and stuffing it with veggie chili and we have a Black Bean Chili Stuffed Sweet Potato
Last, but not least, for a show-stopping dinner that we made with veggie meat try this persian layered rice dish from Tamar.
Vegetarian Tahchin Persian Rice

Caraway Noodle Cakes with Red Cabbage and Horseradish Sour Cream
Sesame Scallion Lomein Pancakes, looks like something I could make ahead and even pack to go!
Beautiful and colorful roundup of meatless recipes. Hard to choose a favorite one

I could everyone of these but I think scallion pancakes are my favorites.
I love all of these ideas! The pizza looks fantastic!
The salmon looks delicious
I like the idea of the mexican potatoes. My son is vegetarian and is always looking for something new to try. This looks simple and delicious and I love the addition of the horseradish.
I like the mexican baked potato.
Made the deep dish pizza it was soooo good
made homemade deep dish pizza tonight was yum!
the nut crusted salmon. I do not have many fish recipes and this sounds great!
We are making a great egg and cheese souffle which calls for Monterey Jack and other cheeses as well as chilies. A great treat during the Nine Days.
cant’s wait to make the salmon!!!!!
I am making tuna patties but as cupcakes – we have to make them eggfree, so I thought this would help them hold together better.
The mexican baked potatoes sound great to go with a side salad for lunch…something a bit different for change.
Yummy stuff and so healthy.
lasagne, tonight
The caraway pancakes look great!
Mexican Baked Potato…yum…easy peasy
I love scallion pancakes!
We love the 9 days b/c we love dairy and fish. My kids helped me to make up a menu for the whole time. We are going to enjoy a lot of fresh soups along with eggplant parmesan, tuna quiche, salmon fillet (fresh), lasagna and other milchig casseroles! We will need to try some of the recipes posted here they look delicious!!!
they all look delicious!
That salmon sounds yum!!!
love to try the mexican potato
The trouble with all these recipes is that they make me want to run straight to the kitchen and make them all at once, and then regret that I have to wait so long until they are done cooking!
The salmon looks delicious!
i’m looking forward in trying the Nut Crusted Salmon with Creamy Chrain Sauce
I made the pistachio crusted salmon with the gold’s horseradush for shavuos. It was delicious and I plan to make it again during the nine days
I am definitely trying the Light Fettuccine Alfredo!
Those lomein pancakes look delicious!
I want to make Nut Crusted Salmon with Creamy Chrain Sauce
I would love to try the nut crusted salmon with creamy chain sauce. It looks very appetizing!
If you’re feeling meat deprived (which is the point, of course, but it’s harder for some than others, I guess), I have this Tilapia recipe that tastes like chicken!
Cut your tilapia into bite sized pieces, coat them in bread crumbs, and pan fry till golden on each side. (Or save time and buy them pre-coated!)
Pour over homemade duck sauce (apricot jam, ketchup, teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, a little water etc) and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
(Likely store bought duck sauce would work too.)
love these recipes!!!! ill try the salmon, looks yumm!
I am going to try the nut crusted salmon with creamy chrein sauce. Sounds yummy!
Have to say, meat-free is easy for us; we are fish and dairy lovers. I love the fruit-arugula pizza. Have to try that one. Scallion pancake an old fave!
I’m going to try baked ziti with gevina levana this year…have to change up the recipe because we made Aliyah!
I’d like to try veggie burgers
The Colorful Mashed Potatoes look intriguing so I’ll probably make a batch to serve with fish.
This year I’m adding Gazpacho (it’s like tomato soup, only it’s not hot- that’s how I’m presenting it to my family)
And last night I tried a flatbread recipe that I found in one of my cookbooks (Fresh and Easy Kosher Cooking) it wasn’t hard, but a bit of a patchke. The results were worth it. It tasted heavenly with butter and fish!
These recipes look so good! I would love to try the scallion pancakes. I also love to add horseradish to everything.
