Meatless Meals for Lent Recipes

[Lamb]

Here is a thread to post meatless recipes for those who do not eat meat during Lent. This is not a thread to debate the meaning of Lent or whether or not you give up meat. It's a recipe thread.

If anyone wants to go meatless, and if what I eat has any appeal, you can just go to the "what are you eating" thread for around the past 4 months. Aside from a little honey here and there, they are completely animal free - no meat, dairy or eggs. Most are summaries, not proper recipes, but I list all the ingredients and well, there's the fun of experimenting on your own.
