Im looking for filling vegetarian meals.

I get gout from time to time, so I am cutting back on meat and protein. That hasn't been a problem, but the lack of meat in meals lead the meals to feel unfilling. I'm looking for suggestions (recipes, cook books, sites) that are filling. Salads just don't do it, and tonnes of Carbs isn't appealing. ATM, I'm eating a lot of Quinoa (1-2/week) and am looking at barley again. It has protein, but little compared to meat.

So, any suggestions?

Add more fat and alternative protein sources.

Fried mozzarella is super filling. Not really good for you, though.

It's probably not what you're looking for, but I'm a very simple cook. If I can't afford meat, I'll often use yams as the bulk. They're good, they're starchy but not potato-sparchy.

Does white meat give one gout? If not tuck into a nice piece of chicken. I also recommend scrambled eggs made with grated cheese.

Various braised aubergine varieties are always good,

Tofu as a meat substitute in most far eastern cuisine,

Mushroom risotto,

Gout prevention diet:
http://www.webmd.com/arthritis/tc/diet- ... c-overview

I've taken allopurinol for 25 years, and its has eliminated all gout attacks. It has to be taken on a permanent basis to prevent attacks, it won't stop attacks once they begin. Allopurinol is generic and dirt cheap. According to my internist, uric acid crystals from gout are constantly attacking your joints, where they accumulate. Even if you feel nothing, they are slowly degrading those joints - that's why it's important to take a dosage of allopurinol sufficient to return uric acid levels to normal. If you can control these levels through diet, that's great - but if you've ever had a gout attack these levels need to be checked periodically.

Beans are the answer...

Put a piece of meat in a pot of beans to flavor it...add a diced onion and a diced potato...if you are awesome add chilis...

If you make dried kidney beans you can make chili out of it by adding tomatoes and some kind of beef...the beef is used as a flavoring and not the wmail course so it's not like you're buying a roast...

Bakes beans with onions and sausages of some kind are the b0mb...

edit: oh, you're cutting down on protein...beans are loaded with protein..why are you cutting down on protein?
