Fancy Vegetarian Meal Ideas - I need a challenge!

If I was to go on Masterchef what could I cook to impress? I’m not...but...
Any even if it wasn’t quite Masterchef what could I make that would show how great vegetarian food can be?

Jamie Oliver has some great recipes on his website - and also check out the BOSH kitchen boys

My favourite is from an 80s cookbook my mum had called the Silver palate - a filo pastry strudel stuffed with asparagus, gruyere and almonds. It's lush but fiddly/technically difficult enough that hopefully you'd win Masterchef. You might have to update the flavours with something a bit more trendy though! Maybe some kimchi on the side...?

Thanks. Never heard of Bosh. Going to Google it now
I never think to look at Jamie Oliver for veggie stuff.
I have lots of asparagus here and that recipe sounds like something I could make over the weekend.

Here's the recipe in all its 80s glory. It's so tasty though, definitely worth the faff! (You did ask for fancy recipes )

The other "fancy" veggie meal I thought of was aubergine stacks with tomato and mozzarella. I don't usually use a recipe for these but this looks like a good one.

I did veganuary as I was in a total food rut and discovered a world of new ideas! Check out the minimalist baker and thug kitchen for ideas. I have actually carried on being a vegan at home but when we go out for dinner or a friend cooks for us, I eat whatever.

I have the Greens cookbook, most of which is beyond my abilities/willingness to prepare. But, the black bean chilli turned into enchiladas is impressive, and the peach and blueberry cobbler is insanely good...

I like the terre a terre cookbook for fancy 'restauranty' veggoe food
