A Merry Vegan Christmas

[Dottie39]

Ok so I have the main quinoa/lentil/but roast sorted but I want to do some more adventurous side dishes that the usual roast potatoes and veg. Dishes to make it a bit more special than the usual Sunday roast... So what side dishes can I do?

Nut not but* 😁

Parsnips and carrots roasted in maple syrup are lovely,
shredded sprouts with chestnuts and leek,
Good old braised red cabbage
Puy lentils with red onion and herbs

Look up Bosh on Facebook - they have amazing recipes, and their recent feature on festive good has delicious looking sides

I borrowed Deliciously Ella Everyday from the library this morning. There is a receipe for Brussels sprouts roasted with new potatoes hazelnuts and maple syrup. It looks really good but I do love sprouts.

I'm doing cauliflower cheese and stealing from the Bosh video with the Wellington and veg. We are all vegan in this house. Probably will get a tofurkey roast and vbites sausages with bacon. I'm having parsley sauce on my dinner

DH is making a nut roast, I had it before when I was a vegetarian and it was lovely. Apart from the usual i will have stuffed butternut squash and red cabbage in wine - it's yummy.

Has anyone tried Cashew cheese? Very interested in tasting it, but it's so bleedin' expensive.

The butternut squash and chickpea roast on this page is delish!

I do

• honey and coriander seed roasted carrots & parsnips
• roast potatoes (obvs)
• braised red cabbage, with plenty of apple, sugar and spice
• mashed sweet potato
• roast sprouts with vegan bacon
• stuffing
• boiled peas (love em)
• mushroom gravy

I basically make enough for about 16-20 people then eat it for days and days .

I'm still undecided what I'm making, but I'll definitely do whole roasted cauliflower either as a side or main.
Last year we did a Wellington with vegan haggis, it was amazing!
