Hearty without meat!
If you are a vegetarian, you waive the hearty taste. This was what I thought before I got a vegetarian. But I was wrong and now I know so much hearty vegetarian recipes. For example, this little Tartelettes. The dough tastes like hearty cookies and is crispy with a nuttily note. The chess cream inside makes me dream of the wonderful landscape in Italy with the great taste of Grana Padano and pine nut. Crunchy carrots and healthy beetroot round out the taste.
