Spirulina has the highest percentage of protein (by far) of any food. Next would probably be nutritional (aka brewers') yeast. Those two foods are not hugely appetising, however, so you'd only eat a tiny amount at a time. This is probably just as well, because it is possible to consume too much protein, and this would overload your internal organs trying to dispose of it all.

Most veg*n foods have a perfect balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and water. Almost anything which is a seed - and this includes all legumes, nuts and grains, of course - contains a higher level of protein than, say, a fruit, root or leaf. The only fruit with a significant amount of protein is the avocado, closely followed by dried fruits (the percentages of all nutrients are increased when you remove most of the water).

Honestly, because there is protein in nearly every food (exceptions being oil, water, sugar and salt), you don't need to worry about getting enough protein on a vegetarian diet. If you're eating enough food (unless it's all junk), you're getting enough protein. If someone tells you you're not getting any protein when you're a vegetarian, you can safely assume that they don't know the first thing about nutrition (and that they're talking out of their a$$es)..

Vegan!

Veg*ns can obtain protein by eating a balance of incomplete proteins each day (legumes with grains or legumes with nuts and seeds) or by eating approximately 50g of complete protein from the following sources: amaranth, buckwheat, hemp seed, soy, quinoa, certain blue-green algaes (such as spirulina), as well as eggs and dairy for those that allow them. There are also many fruits and vegetables (such as persimmons) that provide complete or high-quality proteins, but in such low doses it wouldn't be worth it to list them all. The key here, and to any healthy diet, is variety.

Get a copy of Diet for a Small Planet by Francis Moore Lappe..... it will give you tons of recipes and the reasons for combining foods to get the adequate amounts of protein.

Ancient cultures had it figured out:
Middle Eastern: Felafel - made with chick peas and sesame seeds sauce, served on wheat pita
Latin American: corn, beans, vegetables, potatoes and bugs - yes they ate bugs
North American Indians ; corn, beans, nuts - pecans and acorns, wild rice plus a diet of wild fish and game
Asia: rice, wheat noodles, soy products, millet, sesame seeds, chickens
India: rice, wheat chappaties, lentils

Milk, eggs, cheese (especially cheese), nuts and beans like kidney beans and haricot beans, chickpeas and lentils, some of these foods aren't very tasty so try to eat them as part of a dish, like with a pasta sauce or in a vegetable lasagna or vegetable shepherds pie.
