The Nine Days are a Jewish period of mourning for the destruction of the temple. No meat or chicken is allowed to be eaten during these nine days, so people often make pasta, pizza, etcetera. But there are a lot of unique meatless meals that can be made that don't include pasta or tons of carbs. (Trust me, I love pizza as much as the next gal, but sometimes you need a break, you know?)
Enjoy this list of 19 unique Nine Days meatless meal ideas!
