Have you tried looking at food from the East. Indian, Thai, Chinese and loads more. They make wonderful vegetarian dishes.
But look at all the dishes that they do with meat in, you can replace the meat with vegetables, Legumes, Squashes or beans.
Your not eating them because they have meat in you are eating them for the flavour. Experiment and give it a try.
I know some good recipes for curry that are tried and tested by me. Below is a link for beef curry. Just make the curry sauce without any meat but cook it for the same amount of time. Then you add the veg, beans of your choice.
