Especially since Thanksgiving Friday looms, maybe you trads have some special meatless recipes to share.
I'll start. Though the original fritatta alle herbe recipe below calls for pancetta, I substitute ¼-½ cup of Pecorino cheese to make it meatless.
-
Leftover asparagus, salad greens, sweet potatoes and avocado cacao pudding.
-
Not that I celebrate Thanksgiving, but I am having a cauliflower / cheese / tuna bake - one of my favourites for a Friday.
Other than that a barramundi Morrocan curry is good for Fridays.
-
Recipes?

I like to have this spinach-artichoke dip on Fridays. I could just eat it with a spoon, but usually have it with sliced green or sweet peppers.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/26819/hot-artichoke-and-spinach-dip-ii/ (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/26819/hot-artichoke-and-spinach-dip-ii/)
I double the spinach.
This is my go-to for Ember weeks since making it means I'll have several servings available.
-
Cauliflower cheese tuna bake.
Steam, using one cup of salted water, one cauliflower until tender but not mushy. I include the inner green leaves chopped and the stalk minus the roughage. Waste not want not!
Allow to drain and retain the water.
Chop one large onion and fry lightly in a saucepan, then add the water. Add milk powder and bring to a gentle simmer. Take off the heat and add a cornflour paste to thicken, stir back to the boil. Add a can of tuna breaking it up to make a chunky white sauce.
Butter a casserole dish, arrange one layer of cauli, then some grated cheese of your preference, then the tuna sauce. Repeat till you use up your makings, adding a last layer of cheese. You can add some black pepper and capers. Bake at 180*C till cooked through and browning up pleasantly.
If there's leftovers they are good cold.
-
Baked potatoes mixed with broccoli and cheese topped with a generous helping of butter.
;) ;) ;)

Barramundi Moroccan Curry
Recipe for two.
Barramundi fillets - if large chop them a little.
Coat with flour mixed with Moroccan spices - I make my one which I store.
In a large frypan, Fry lightly 1 large onion and fry a teaspoon of the Moroccan mix to bring out the aromas.
Brown the fish both sides.
Add a cup of white wine and turn to low, steaming until it's nicely done. You can add some homemade tomato sauce, capers, chopped cooked potatoes, whatever takes your fancy.
Serve with brown rice or cous cous or nice crunchy bread.
Here's the blend:
1 desertspoon turmeric,
ditto coriander,
ditto cuмin,
1/2 desertspoon cinnamon,
ditto ginger,
1/2 teaspoon chilli,
ditto black pepper,
ditto salt,
ditto nutmeg,
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Alternatively you can use 1 - 2 teaspoons of a mixture of the first three listed spices.
-
Sounds mouth-watering delicious.
-
Bread dough you make or buy. Make a tea ring filled with tuna, cheese onion whatever. Two dough balls. Roll out to a rectangle and fill and roll. Do it again and bring the two together to form a ring. Put little slits on top and bake at 350. You can put foil around like you do a pie. When done cut your portion and serve with warm cheese sauce over it.
I love quiche, and this is a recipe w/o the made pie shell. Buy a box of jiffy mix and use half in a bowl with 4 eggs, 1 and half cup milk mix in your favorite veggie and 1 and a half cup of shredded cheese. I never tried artificial crab but you certainly could add it cut up. I add a seasoning of choice. When I want meat, I use my favorite turkey sausage. I don't think I missed any ingredients. Pour in a nice size glass dish about 9 by 13 or 9 by 9. About 350 for maybe 35 min. and put a knife to it like a pumpkin pie and see if the knife comes out clean. I love quiche and what a great way to lower carbs w/o a shell.
Another casserole is artificial crab with sliced celery about a cup and half, sliced up onions. Sautee those. Add the crab meat and 8 oz of cream cheese softened a squirt of mustard or use dry mustard. Half a cup of sour cream.(there is onion dip that works just fine) 1 Tab lemon juice, garlic fresh or dry 2 Tab of Mayo I use miracle whip. 1 Tab of worstershire sauce.( it could be less, 1 Tab seems a lot) 1 tab of milk and 1 tab of sugar. 350 for 30 min. This is a casserole that is served at chinese buffet restaurants.
The next one is for a cold salad. If anyone has the recipe ingredients complete please help me for I love this one: Artificial crab slice olives, onions celery. I am not sure of all contents but I used i/3 cup mayo 3 tab of sour cream some tarragon vinegar 1 tsp of lemon juice, dill weed, basil, seasoning ? You can cut in bell pepper, I like the red. Mix it and serve it cold.

Yummy!
Smoked Black Cod (Sablefish) Pizza
Make your dough.
Bake the dough.
Remove from oven when just golden brown.
Top with smoked black cod (none of that kosher stuff).
Sprinkle with capers, onions briefly drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
Spread a fistful or two of chopped cilantro.
Lightly drizzle with creme fraiche
Serve.

Polenta ai fagioli
Soak 1 cup red kidney beans overnight, change the water and boil till soft.
Add
1 chopped onion
1 chopped stick celery
1 lge carrot chopped
1 can chopped tomatoes,
Whatever salt, herbs, spices you desire.
I add 1 - 2 teaspoons of Italian herb mix and 1 teaspoon each of turmeric, cuмin, coriander, a good dollop of garlic, and cayenne, as much as you can stand.
Simmer till vegies are cooked.
Meantime take 1 cup polenta, or one cup 1/2 and 1/2 polenta and semolina.
Add 1 cup cold water to blend then 1 1/2 cups boiling water and salt to taste, bring to the boil mixing well, turn your hotplate to the lowest possible setting and stir as it thickens, until the wooden spoon stands erect like a little soldier.
Now it's ready! A dollop on each plate covered with a good scoop of the fagioli. A very easy, nutritious and delicious meal!
-
Shrimp sauteed with a generous amount of butter, with a healthy sprinkling of Herbs de Provence. This be my supper this eventide.
Meatless meals has me already pondering Polish Christmas Eve. For lo, in the twinkling of an eye, that holy season will be upon us.
If Joshua put his foot in the Jordan, would that be a Mosaic dip? ::) ;) :laugh1: :facepalm: (Love that stuff with pita bread. Eating biblical!)
-
Red beans and rice. Cook the red beans without the ham. Season with a generous helping of butter and some salt and pepper to taste.
-
Nothing you say can ever be trusted because you have proven yourself to be an unrepentant, willful, serial, habitual liar. Your every word is a lie, even "a" and "the."

Here are three 'meatless' recipes, from The Catholic Cook Book, William I. Kaufman, The Citadel Press, 1965.
Hopefully the recipes in the image are discernible.

An oldie from the now-disgraced "Molto Mario" Batalli:
-
Take spaghetti squash. Slice it in half. Remove seeds. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes. Take the insides and shred it on plate and pour tomato sauce over it. Then serve.
-
Here's another Molto Mario Recipe, Polenta and Clams. There is even a Tomato Sauce recipe and the polenta smudge is authentic. :-)
-
Any meatless filling in crepes...seafood (think crab meat) cottage cheese etc. yum.
-
Go to Burger King and get the Impossible Whopper.
If it's as indistinguishable from a hamburger as they claim, then it's probably against the spirit of the law.
Of course, it's mostly genetically-engineered soy, and the soy wreaks havoc on the hormonal system, mimicking estrogens, so I would not make a habit of it.

Weyelll, I thought I recalled more topics in CathInfo's "Health and Nutrition" category that are focused on
seafood, thus being "meatless" for purposes of Catholic abstinence, but today (using Google under silent protest[#]), I found scarce few of such postings, in particular:

Detailed info that's possibly prone to dismissal as out-of-season (climatically, not liturgically).

‘AlligatorDicax’: "Christmas Eve ‘7 Fishes’ for Abstinence" (December 30, 2015--January 02, 2016).
I opened it with a long list of seafood recipes that don't drown the featured ingredients in tomato sauce[×].
It's true that I offered no recipes, but even the multigenerational land-locked "Middle America" authors of Joy of Cooking[*] ought to have detailed recipes for several of the good ones.

Note #: Matthew has granted Google some privileged access to CathInfo that's not granted to privacy-oriented search-engines, notably Ixquick/StartPage and presumably DuckDuckGo. But it's his prerogative.
Note ×: A pet peeve: Drowning ingredients having delicate--some say subtle--flavor in typically strong-flavored tomato sauce.
Note *: A reader might request such a book as a Christmas gift. A frugal alternative, in areas with large-enough populations, is to buy cookbooks in serviceable condition for $1--$5 at some garage sales--or better yet, estate sales. The regular cookbook scavengers will already have J.o.C.; they're looking out for the very locally focused (state or federal) Dept. of Agriculture, Junior League, or funkier cookbooks published on a shoe-string.
-
For a general cookbook, I'd rate The Fanny Farmer Cookbook and The Martha Stewart Cookbook much higher than The Joy of Cooking.

"Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do." John 14:13-14
Jesus, we beg you and, Father, we beg you in the Holy Name of Your Son, Jesus, that it is Your Will to drive Poche from this place forever. We offer our fasting, alms, suffering, good works, and happiness for this intention.

Unfortunately, if it’s made with meat broth it is not allowed on Fridays.

Here in CathInfo, we've previously covered the details of abstinence, referring to authoritative sources, notably nearly 4 years ago, in a topic that spanned 2 Web pages:
"How Far Does Friday Abstinence Go?".
Rather than treading the same ground all over again in this newish topic, I recommend that newer CathInfo members simply read specific replies at these still-accessible links:

As is typical for CathInfo, the guidance and opinions expressed in original postings and replies are personal interpretations, altho' the 2 members above might have minds a bit more lawyerly than most other members. On the other hand, I don't have the intellectual advantage of ever having been a student in a seminary (‘TKGS’ is welcome to offer his own disclaimer), but some members have indeed had that distinctive experience.

This recipe, another from Bugialli's Italy, is so sumptuous that the dish is arguably not penitential enough for Fridays.
Those stains on the pages? Genuine tomato sauce spatters.
