If you are veggie, do you have a roast dinner?

[Felldownabackdonhole]

We love a roast in our house. I would be happy with just the veg because I love them but DP likes something go go with it.

We normally have nut roast ( the bbc good food recipe) or quorn sausages. The DC are not that keen on nutroast though. What else can we do?

We always have Yorkshire puddings.

For Christmas dinner I usually do a big roasted butternut squash with a feta and breadcrumb topping. I can’t be bothered to make a that on a normal Sunday.

I quite fancy giving this a go but I doubt the DC would eat it and it is highly effort.

The Bosh! mushroom Wellington is great, especially for a few people or special occasion.

My dh makes me a delicious portobello mushroom stuffed with nut meat and cooked in the oven. You can put cheese and breadcrumbs on top too.

Or a green lentil loaf?

That sounds yummy. I like the stuffed mushroom idea too. I prefer a vegetable based option to a fake meat option.

We like the quorn roast but recently discovered the Linda McCartney roast thing which is like a roast chicken replacement. It’s the best I’ve had yet!
If we go to family for a roast I’ll just have veg and if we’re at a restaurant I’ll have nut roast but find it’s a bit hit and miss.
Very happy with just veggies though. One of my fave meals.

I often do a quorn family roast for DS. Leftovers are good drizzled with joney and grilled.

Goodlife nut cutlets are lovely and not fake meat.

Not that often although it’s silly because we love them.

When we do I have it with cauldron sausages or a veggie pie of some description - lidl used to do a lovely cauliflower cheese pie, not seen it in a while. I also really like the Linda McCartney cheese and leek plaits. Sometimes I make a veggie cheese bake - whatever veg, cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs which I guess could be done like a roast. A cauliflower ‘steak’ is another option - I had one in a restaurant once as it was the only veggie option and I was pissed off that was what I’d ended up with but actually when it came it was really really tasty.

We’ve done these for a few christmases - I usually stick a dollop of homemade cranberry sauce within the parcel for extra festive ness - sorry Delia! www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/caramelised-leek-onion-and-camembert-parcels/amp/

I like puy lentils with a roast (and then leftover lentils in a pie the next day).

We will often have the quorn escalopes of their amazing country pies or DD’s fave the chicken and has lattices, but when we don’t want fake meat I use the Asda nut roast kit (you need to add most ingredients but it has the lentils, breadcrumbs and seasoning) and I like that.

Macsweens veg haggis is delicious but I can’t find it in the shops apart from around burn’s night :(

@Felldownabackdonhole could you please share the bbc nut roast recipe you normally use?

Waitrose sell Macsween vegetarian haggis and M&S also have a version.

Goodlife nut cutlets here too. Occasionally falafel.
I don't like quorn or fake meat like Linda M.
I often forget (it's just me who is veggie) and have extra roast potatoes and veg instead! I always do a broccoli and cauliflower cheese.
Butternut squash and feta sounds delicious, do you have a recipe?

I used to like sage and onion stuffing balls just to add that savouryness - is that a word? Sorry it's past my bedtime. Doesn't add anything in the way of protein, but if you could incorporate some nuts or pulses you'd be sorted

Vegan Pukka pie is what my dd has every Sunday when the rest of us have a roast

My daughter has The Vegetarian Butcher What the Cluck chicken pieces. I just wrap a few pieces in foil and put in the oven near the end.

www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/stuffed-butternut-squash-quinoa It was originally this but we use breadcrumbs instead of quinoa.

I do like a quorn roast and you get lots left for sandwiches throughout the week but DP doesn’t like it.

I love stuffing balls. I add cranberries and pine nuts. I only have them at Christmas normally but I might make them this weekend. The DCs can help. They might eat them then.

Dh has been veggie for years and I often make up sage and onion stuffing to which I add chopped dried apricots and whatever nuts I have to hand. Then slice like a loaf. It works well with vegetarian gravy or cranberry sauce.
