So, vegetarian dishes. Any that actually taste good that don't have to resort to an encylopedia of ingredients? Any rib-sticking and filling as meat? Near-vegetarian dishes also encouraged.

Bean burrito's are pretty tasty.
Beans, chopped tomato, saute'd onion and bell pepper, habenero, wrapped in a tortilla with salsa.
Red beans and rice are tasty as well, even without the meat in the beans.

Rice and beans is always good. Use an animal stock, a lot of onions, garlic, and chilis. Also, lentil soup is pretty great.

I'm a man child that will only eat vegetables if they're in soup, on a sandwich or in a stir fry. Although occasionally I do like broccoli if it's smothered in cheese or gravy.
But put it in soup, and I'll eat fucking anything. Cabbage, cauliflower, spinach... all that nasty shit becomes amazing.
Then get some quality bread from an actual bakery. Tear off chunks, spread real butter on it, and then dip it in the soup. Hnnngggghhhhh.
I don't mind tofu in stir fries now because hot and sour soup was so amazing. Sometimes I order the "bean curd w/ vegetable". Good shit.
Chana masala, sambar, navrattan korma
most vegetables taste great if you're not a child and you cook them properly.
>So, vegetarian dishes. Any that actually taste good that don't have to resort to an encylopedia of ingredients?
Yes, several. For the most accessible to Western tastes, southern Italian vegetarian cuisine has very few ingredients and the ones they do have are easy to find in just about any nation speaking any language of European origin.
>Any rib-sticking and filling as meat?
Not many that I can think of other than bean-based ones.
>Near-vegetarian dishes also encouraged.
Meh, optimally, most of your diet should be vegetarian or near-vegetarian. About two-thirds of my meals are, but I'd assume quite a larger percentage of my diet by weight is veg-derived.
Pic related is a Neapolitan vegetarian dish, pasta with pumpkin.

roasted vegetables unleash beautiful flavors.
I love roasted brussel sprouts or roasted cauliflower. I just toss them in olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Throw them in the oven until they get a nice brown. Then I eat it with rice.

Vegetable dish, not just vegetables. I don't particularly enjoy making side dishes into full meals by just eating more.
I make this all the time. Curried lentil stew with vegetables. It's really hearty and filling. Also delicious as fuck.

Some kind of seven-layer dip for tortilla chips. Guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, olives, lettuce...
What about a mushroom and onion quiche?

I love channa masala and sambar. Whats the other one?
You could try eating my shit
It's technically an animal product but it's meaty and filling
Cabbage and boiled potatoes is good, although it kind of demands corned beef.
Google Kaeng Khua Saparot, a thai curry with pineapple and prawn, replace prawn with cubed tofu. Fish sauce can be replaced with salt or soy sauce if desired.
Pad see ew is another Thai dish, rice noodles seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper. Eggs are a good accent for protein.
One of my regular dinners is firm or pressed tofu with celery stir-fried with Sichuan chili oil, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper.
Curried squash soup with apple. Hell, roasted squash with a couple of spices. Roasted vegetables in general; onions, garlic cloves, celery, tomato, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Blanched bok choy with gochujang and miso. Mapo tofu with shiitake instead of ground beef. Garlic roasted oyster mushrooms. Dan dan noodles with tofu and/or mushrooms instead of meat. Pad thai with tofu and eggs. Gailan with ginger and garlic. Bibimbap with a shitload of properly prepared vegetables and maybe an egg. Dry fried long beans with Sichuan peppercorns and chilies. Chana masala. Bean chili heavy on onion and garlic. A plate of onion and garlic. Homemade red pepper hummus. Red lentils and white rice steamed together with coconut milk and red curry paste.
Some of these dishes require a bit of investment if you don't have Asian ingredients hanging around your pantry, but they're all pretty simple to make. I tend to lean pretty heavily on Asian influence in my cooking because I find a lot of western vegetarian cuisine to be more focused on imitation than flavor.
Have you ever just eaten straight mirepoix? I'm sure if you just throw some chicken stock and noodles in you'd be set.
