So apparently today, the 3rd of September is Welsh Rarebit Day. I am a little embarrassed to admit this but as a Welsh born and bred person I only discovered this recently, and by recently I mean literally this week when a fellow blogger gave me a gentle nudge. But I am not going to be hard on myself, it looks like a relatively new initiative with it only being celebrated in the last few years.
I don't think I have ever posted a Welsh Rarebit recipe on my blog. For two reasons, one I've just taken it for granted as a national dish for Wales and secondly, I've always seen it as simple home comfort fare. Ultimately its just cheese on toast, albeit posh cheese on toast with the addition of beer, vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce) and mustard.
Anyway, I have made other variations of Welsh Rarebit at home. So with it being National Welsh Rarebit Day I have taken the opportunity to showcase some of these vegetarian Welsh Rarebit inspired vegetarian recipes.

When was it the last time you ate a Welsh Rarebit?
I've mentioned before that I am looking for ways to enjoy my homegrown yellow and green courgettes aka zucchini.
I stumbled upon a meat version of this recipe and of course decided to adapt it for my vegetarian diet, by replacing it with meatfree soy mince protein which makes the recipe accidentally vegan, which seems to be the case with most of my recipes unless of course you decide to scatter over some cheese, though a vegan alternative would work well here too.
I served the stuffed Fantail Courgettes with some couscous, but you can also serve it with rice or just eat it as it is, but I feel it is more of an accompaniment than a while meal.
I think its quite an attractive dish too, one that would be appreciated at dinner parties or when you have family or friends over, but D and me, we are posh folk (just kidding) and only the best for us.
I welcome September as its the start of the Autumn season, my favourite season when I can start pulling on my snuggly jumpers and long sleeved cardigans.
Its also my turn to host #EatYourGreens cooking and baking challenge, so I am welcoming your vegetarian and vegan recipes.
