Main Courses

Vegetarian main courses

A common complaint about vegetarian cuisine is that there are “no main courses, just side dishes.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. Aside from the fact that probably 90% of recipes can be made vegetarian by leaving out or substituting for whatever meat they contain, there are a number of traditional recipes that do not include meat.

 
(Linguistic note: In American English, “entree” refers to a main course, but in French, “entrée” means “appetizer” or “starter.”)

Eggplant Parmigiana

Years ago, during a cooking class in Tuscany, we made the simplest and most delicious eggplant parmigiana I've ever had. Grilling the eggplant adds extra flavor that is highlighted rather than drowned out by fresh tomato sauce, mozz, and a bit of basil.
