Veg/veggie dish to go with chicken and sausage

[champagnesupernova]

So having people over for lunch tomorrow but need to prep everything tonite
Am doing Nigella sage & onion chicken & sausage
She suggests putting potato gratin with it but (A) i've got a veggie coming and (B) it needs veg to counteract all the MEAT imo
But I'm stumped as to what other than my usual standby roasted peppers, courgettes etc
Any thoughts?

Vegetarian sausages?
Vegetarian burgers?

You can buy them at healthfood stores, or many supermarkets, or make your own:

Or a nut roast?

I'd be very happy with a good variety of roasted vegetables.

Try my recipe for veggie burgers. Non-veggies like them so you may need to make extra!

Makes 4 smallish patties
8 oz cooked kidney beans or chickpeas (well drained if canned)
1 carrot, grated
1 chilli pepper, deseeded
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons oatmeal
seasoning
parsley/coriander, chopped
1 tablespoon mixed seeds
1 egg, beaten
oil for frying

NB...If you have a mini food processor this is very easy.

• Process the beans, onion and chilli until they are finely chopped. Alternatively, mash the beans and finely chop the vegetables. Transfer to a bowl
• Add grated carrot, seeds, seasoning, oatmeal and the beaten egg
• Stir well and then refrigerate for about half an hour to absorb any liquid and firm up
• Form into small patties and fry on both sides until golden and cooked through

Veggie cous cous, we have this a lot. I always make loads then have it heated up for lunch for the next day or two!

Chop some courgettes and red onions up, bit of olive oil on, roast in oven for 30 mins or so.

Cook some sweetcorn.

200g of cous cous in a saucepan that has a lid.

2 green oxo cubes into 250ml of boiling water. Pour onto cous cous, put lid on, leave for 10 mins.

Mix everthing together and scoff!

Can be made in advance and microwaved hot just before serving.

I also make this for a buffet to be eaten cold, with roast cherry toms instead of courgettes.
