Pie crust is often made with lard, so check the label if you bring a store bought pie.

I highly suggest some variation of an eggplant and zucchini lasagna.

As it happens I have a magazine here specifically for vegetarian christmas foods.
Starter, main, dessert or side?

I was looking at eggplant rollatini

[Anonymous No.4055451]

>>4055434
There's a lot of them to choose from, I was hoping you'd narrow it down.
>mushroom and cranberry pies
>goat's cheese, hazelnut, spring onion flan
>moroccan spiced cauliflower and almond soup
And just a shitload more stuff, i picked a few at random. . Loads of traditional desserts as well, although mainly european traditional, christmas puddings, panettone, etc etc.

It's the BBC Good Food christmas special, they go a bit mental on variety, if you google it you should find the recipes, although I don't mind scanning in a few.

Hakka noodles (indo-Chinese dish), eggplant parmesan, a steamed dumpling for an appetizer, fettuccine Alfredo with vegetables, tofu steaks ( you can Google and get a recipe). Honestly, I had a potluck and my bf made tofu steaks, and there were none left. Even the omnivores loved them. We topped them off with caramelized onions and steak sauce. (Detroit zip sauce would be awesome with them.)

[None !OPIATE9fy. No.4055531]

are there any main courses besides stuffed shells? unless you count a stuffed portobella as main

I can think of tons of things to serve as a side but nothing to be a main course

I know right? the thought of eating a meal without meat in it is just BARBARIC

[Anonymous No.4055714]

This cult based vegetarian restaurant chain (I dunno, but the food's good, based out of Taiwan) had these amazing tofu skewers encrusted in cumin seed. Loved those.

The chili stir fried cauliflower in this picture is amazing, too.

A small hot-tasting pod of a variety of capsicum, used chopped (and often dried) in sauces, relishes, and spice powders.
What are you getting at

[Anonymous No.4055890]

Sorry, to me it looked like someone was implying that chili can only mean the dish.

[Anonymous No.4057148]

I am going to drop you a few recipes
Ignore all the negativity, nothing wrong with making sure everyone feels involved and satisfied on the holidays.
I always was a fan of stuffed squashes. They are an edible center-piece with a wonderful range of flavor.

I didn't know vegetarians celebrated Christmas :s

Harvest-Stuffed Acorn Squash


4 acorn squash, halved lengthwise; seeds and membrane removed

1 tablespoon olive oil or 2 tablespoons water for sautéing

2 medium onions, chopped

4 stalks celery, diced

1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

1 cup cooked wild rice

1 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped (or walnuts, almonds, or chestnuts)

1/2 cup dried diced apricots and/or raisins

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the squash halves, cut side down, onto one or two nonstick baking sheets. There is no need to oil the squash. Bake for 30 minutes. The squash may not be fully fork-tender, but it will eventually be returned to the oven to cook all the way through.

Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, cook the onion in olive oil until it becomes transparent. Add the celery and sauté a couple of minutes. Remove from heat, and add to a large mixing bowl, along with the cooked rice, pecans, apricots and/or raisins, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, pepper, and salt. Adjust seasonings, as necessary.

Remove the squash from the oven, spoon out some of the cooked squash, and combine this squash flesh with the rest of the ingredients. Be sure to scrape only a little; you want to leave some squash in the shells, too.

Press the rice mixture into each squash cavity, mounding the rice as much as possible.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes or until squash flesh is thoroughly tender. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Makes 8 servings

Not OP but I'm saving this, thank you. I want to learn how to use squashes, they were just never used in my household growing up.
