What do you make to make Shabbat special?
(If you cook meat for DH, then answer as if theoretically he were away and you were only cooking for vegetarians).

I’m not vegetarian but I often make a pareve day meal. I make dhals (Indian lentil or chickpea based stews), Asian noodle salads (there are a lot of recipes out there - soba, udon etc), different raw vegetable salads, and cooked veg/legume sides like roasted fennel and tomatoes with chickpeas and a punchy dressing. You can also make quiches and tarts though I don’t really.

My daughter is vegan and she makes an amazing chulent with vegan sausages, beans and dumplings,and plenty of herbs; the rest of her menu varies from week to week but another regular item is chickpea 'tuna' which is basically chickpeas blended with seasonings, it looks a bit like tuna; not sure what it tastes like because I don't like chickpeas!
Some weeks I would make a shepherd's pie with vegan mince, and I often make a vegetable soup.
Just to add that vegetarians do not eat fish, if a person doesn't eat meat but does eat fish they are not vegetarian, they are pescetarian.

Vegans and vegetarians here.
Spicy lentils (black or brown), stuffed peppers (with rice or quinoa in tomato sauce), stir fry tofu, potato dish, veggie soup, buckwheat ....that's for this shabbat.

How do you heat the dhal for lunch? We eat a lot of Indian during the week, but can't imagine leaving it on the plata all night.

Vegetarian here. I make lots of regular Shabbat dishes, like soup, kugel, salads, etc. I don't focus on the idea of a specific main protein, rather multiple non-meat dishes. Friday night we love vegetable stir fries over rice or noodles, vegetable soup, vegetarian kubbe soup, couscous with soupy veggies, salads. Lunch we'll often have kugel, vegetarian chollent, maybe baked potatoes, polenta, vegetarian sushi, roasted veggies, salads, stuffed grape leaves or other stuffed veggies.
Just to add, to me what makes Shabbat special isn't necessarily specific dishes. It's the ambiance, the kedusha, the calm and quiet, and the whole family being together.

I cook it in a pot on Friday and transfer it to a crockpot before Shabbos. I don’t let it cook for very long before Shabbos - it’s just barely cooked through. I leave it on keep warm all Shabbos- you need to fiddle around it with to see how cooked you need it to be beforehand and the temp of your crockpot. I think if you soak your legumes in advance you might even be able to leave it on pretty raw before Shabbos, but you’d have to try and see.

Thanks. Maybe I'll try it one week. Our chulent has lentils in and they do pretty well.

I am the opposite of vegetarian and agree that the ambiance, the kedusha, the calm and the board games make Shabbat special. Not the meat we eat every day.

The entire meal is pretty much the same either way. The only thing you need a substitute is the chicken. Try veggie burger or quinoa burger with aa nicecsauce

Impossible beef is A++. I also make jackfruit pulled beef flatbread. For cholent, sauté onions for the fat, and use more barley than beans. Add a sweet potato.

I am a vegetarian and DH doesn't cook much so ends up eating vegetarian too.
Shabbat favorites are vegetable pot pies, lasagna, stuffed vegetables, enchiladas, thai or indian curry..
