Typical format is to mix "amino acids"* and get plenty of fresh veg. So brown rice with, say, gomashio (sesame seeds) or tofu or lentils or some other pulse. Then add fresh veg -- preferably, greens of some kind -- to go with it. That is your basic vegetarian diet.
You can do other combinations of seeds and nuts and pulses with grains (rice, wheat, millet, etc.). And obviously vary your veg as well. Generally, you don't need quaron and such like.
- *one grain doesn't have all the amino acids to make full protein, so you mix them. A falafel, for example, has wheat (the outside wrap) and chickpeas and tahini (on the inside), and so is balanced.

Anyway, I came here to ask about reducing meat.
For a while now, I've been reducing the meat in my diet, at the very least keeping it to one meal a day. Not for any health or ethical reasons, other than I reckon the world could do with less meat consumption.
I feel I'm getting something wrong though - I realise that meals tend to be focused around a central meat dish, with veg / fruit / pulses etc... being accompaniments.
I've got a few go-to vegetarian recipes, but I guess i need a go-to format, much like meat & 2 veg.
