What's the best vegetarian menu for Christmas?
Answers:
Everything but the turkey.
Well i'm a veg and my christmas dinner consists of stuffing with onions and sage, brussels sprouts, potatoes (mashed or roast) and mushy peas. Yum!
Melon and fruit colis to start followed by nut roast, veggie gravy and lots of vegetables
Try this.
Starter: White Stilton and parsnip Timbale
Soup: Cream of Mushroom with Tarragon and Grissini
Main: Roasted hazle nut cutlet with all seasonal vegs.
Dessert: Christmas Pudding and Hot Brandy Sauce
Coffee and Mince Pies
Quorn do their own 'roasts', tastes allot like how I remember chicken to taste. I'm the only vegy at Christmas dinner so I have that and vegy gravy, we just make sure all the veg is cooked in a vegy way - I find it easier then cooking something separately for myself, though it might be worth it if there's more then one.
Pizza: cheese and tomato, pineapples, black olives, mushrooms, sweetcorn and peppers. McCains Chips, Baked beans, Birds Eyes Potato Waffles and Heinze Tomato Ketchup! Sorted!
Piles of grass and a few bales of hay, all washed down with lashings of mineral water :)
Enjoy :)
Everything but the meat... seriously -- my husband has been a vegetarian for over 15 years and he loves all of the comfort food we make at Christmas time. He piles his plate with greens, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, home-made slaw, sweet potatoe casserole, fresh baked rolls, beans, corn... It's all good as long as it's not cooked with any meat-based products.
Vegetarian enchiladas, spanish rice, and refried beans.
if you are in the UK try looking at the 'This Morning' web site they had something about veg Xmas dinner this morning
lettuce,grass,leaves,twigs,or to give your meal that real christmassy taste,why not try roast pine cones?
I'm not a vegetarian, but from the vegetarian meals I've eaten I say it's best to stay away from imitation meat type things, and just make use of all the fresh vegetables out there! It tastes WAY better.
Hmm..I would say a creamy vegetable lasagna, a big garden salad and crusty bread.
Same as everyone else but without the turkey. Ive been a veggie for over 10 years and have everything and just replace the turkey with veggie sausages. I certainly dont want nut loaf whatever that is, sounds gross!
tofurky...tofurky gravy......or mushroom gravy... stuffing from Peppridge Farms (Stove Top already has turkey broth in it so you can' t use that)...
to make the stuffing use veggie broth.......
apple pie
cranberrry sauce
its very good...
and maybe some mashed potatoes with rolls and peas...
a good veggie lasagna.
Hi. Gave same answer to few other people. This websites are great.
As you know when it comes to Veg/Vegan Christmas the recipes are quite similar to Thanksgiving. I am giving you few of my favorite websites hoping it will help.
You can always accommodate the non vegans by making some of their dishes with butter and milk such as mashed potatoes and add butter to the veggies... You can also make them a dairy dessert with egg relpacer. My Christmas is not the same without Noel Nog. It is really delicious.
Merry Christmas.

i usually have some sort of Quorn food as i think it tastes great and there's so much to choose from.
Everything except the turkey. keep it traditional with a quorn or alternative for your main course. Bisto is veggie and so are most stuffings.
Tofurky with stuffing & gravy:

or Quorn roasts (EXCELLENT!):
http://www.quorn.us//cmpage.aspx?pageid=...
There are powdered packets of veggie gravy too that are really good. The gravy that comes with the tofurky is amazing. We would buy a quorn roast & the tofurky gravy bucket. Your local market should be able to order these for you if they don't have them in stock.
Those Quorn roasts are great with veg gravy and cranberry sauce.
MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Potato dumplings instead of turkey with all the other sides
Potato Dumplings
10 medium potatoes
5 eggs
1 tbs salt
Enough flour to stick it all together.
Peel and boil potatoes till almost done but not quite (should still be firm in the middle). Grate the potatoes. Mix all the ingredients together. Knead into balls. Boil big pan of water. Place balls in water exactly fourteen minutes, no more, no less. Remove from water and place in a bowl with a small plate upside down on the bottom of it. Eat immediately. Left-overs are good diced up and fried in butter till lightly browned.
this is so tasty..fry diced onion in enough oil till soft...add poridge oats...with enough veggie stock...add half tspoon marmite...add one beaten egg and enough cheese to make it a lovely flavour...pat quite flat onto a tray and cook low and slow till done
I don't know if this book is available where you are but 'Delia Smith's Christmas' has a chapter devoted to a vegetarian Christmas which has all the tastes and smells of Christmas but without the meat.
Hope this helps.
