Veggie Christmas Dinner.

[22s]

Hi all!

I am hosting a Christmas dinner for friends on Saturday and one of the guests is a vegetarian.

I'm not too keen on just plonking a pre-made nut roast on the plate as it feels a bit lazy, but veggie food is not my forte and I'm going to be extremely pushed for time in the kitchen.

Any ideas on a quick, easy but delicious recipe for my guest?

Kicker: I'm also allergic to nuts, so would like to avoid cooking with them if possible

Thank you FD&R!

Frau GenX made a Beetroot Wellington for a vegetarian friend of ours, it looked fantastic and went down very well.

Sorry no recipe to hand, I think it was in one of the Waitrose or BBC Christmas magazines so should be on line with a bit of a search.

The Veggie Quorn roast joint is actually decent texture. It would e the lazy option with all the trimmings I wouldn't be out off...

Just give them the same as everyone else but without the meat. Based on the Christmas dinners I've enjoyed over the years there would still be plenty of variety.
I'd be happy with that.
Or make a big thing about your veggie pigs in surprise blankets, where the Linda McCartneys are wrapped in real bacon and keep your mouth shut.

No apologies for invoking veggie comment bingo on the first third reply, look at my username.

All nuts? If you are okay with chestnuts an really easy one it precooked chestnuts with brie, cranberry and cooked spinach in puff pastry. You can even cook and freeze so on the day you just put them in a warm oven to defrost and heat up.

How about a roasted cauliflower steak? https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/cauliflower-st...

Simple, looks good, (you can leave out the almonds to avoid nut contact) and maybe use the rest for a cauliflower cheese side dish.

I've done a veggie sausage Wellington before now, with three sausages stacked together in the middle
