Christmas Lunch for 4 vegetarians.....?!
Spicy tomato and fresh basil soup, or fresh pear and stilton salad, followed by
A mixed wild mushroom terrine with a smoked tofu, and a cranberry, apricot and pine nut stuffing in the middle, served with a port sauce and the traditional xmas day veg of roast potatoes, carrots, roast parsnips, glazed sprouts
then, as none of us like xmas pud
Baked apples with golden sultanas, mixed nuts and a touch of mixed spice served with homemade cinnamon ice cream
Would you change anything? They have no allergies, but don't like the following: Squash/pumpkin, xmas pud or mince pies, sweet potatoes/yam and they also said no pasta for xmas dinner!
Answers:
this sounds very very good.
Delightful.
I vote for the Tomato and basil soup. I would add blanched noodles in it for volume. Would certainly like to add palm sugar-caramelized red onions and sauteed garlic.
the Roast potato sounds good. I would add Szechwan pepper and rock salt along with some bamboo shoots and Lotus roots for chewiness.
I would suggest steam cooked Bananas in place of baked apple
Wish I get invited .
sounds good i would eat that and I'm not vegetarian, but make the tofu taste of something I would say
possibly include a nut roast or something
