Most of the vegetarian meals are not especially cooked to include only non-animal aliments, but they represent side dishes which accompany meat. The Argentinean olive pasta and fresh fig is served with baby spinach salad. This is a more complex vegetarian meal, made with green olives, red and green bell pepper, cayenne and flout with oil for the small and egg-free pastas. The meal is also served with a topping of cheese, in non-vegetarian cases. Potatoes are used in ensaladas and mashed, in pudding, like the tortilla campesina. Other aliments consumed by the Argentinean vegetarians are: beans, lettuce, eggplant, rice and noodles. Eggplant is cooked as grilled eggplant, with garlic, olive oil, dried basil and dried oregano, ground black pepper; sweet or hot paprika; red hot pepper flakes are added for a spicier flavor.
