Vegetarian supper for non-vegetarians

[sykes]

If that makes sense? We're vegetarian, newish friends coming for supper aren't. What would appeal to meat eaters? I can't think beyond goats cheese and moussaka. I have piles of recipe books but am v uninspired. Also, a chocolate sort of pudding. I used to have a lovely recipe for a chocolate/orangey melted thing. Thanks.

Please?

how about a delicious risotto? with a salad on the side?

I often cook pasta with spinach sauce for guests, whether veggie or not. Fry off an onion and some garlic, add squeezed out spinach, cream cheese and double cream, and a big pinch of nutmeg. Dead easy, and ALWAYS appreciated - even by those who didn't think they liked spinach!

See if this helps,

Mmmm, fabulous risotto - I made a nice lemon one a while ago - can't remember where I got the recipe, and a choc pudding would be brilliant. With a fab salad, nice cheeses...What would you cook if they were vegetarians? Cook the same thing!

I know, am being a bit daft, just v uninspired. Thanks for suggestions.

There were some nice recipes on this thread the other day, if they're any help.

What's that gorgeous rich Italian dish that has layers of deep fried aubergines, tomato sauce, cheese...

Although a lot of people don't like aubergines

I think my lemon risotto was River Cafe.

Blu, do you mean Parmigiana di Melanzane ?

Yes, that's it. But I have made it from the recipe in my Antonio Carluccio book, and it's a bit more complex - you make a rich tom sauce rather than just using them from the can, etc. And I think the aubergices are friend in a light batter.

Somewhat rich and heart attack-iducing,, but very fabulous

I do like that but tend to mke it rather a lot.
