Veggie option instead of pulled pork

[RachaelCatWhisperer]

Hi everyone!

I'm tasked with the veggie option for my dad's 65th party. Plenty of ideas for veggie options in general, but any thoughts on what would work instead of pulled pork? My sister is cooking and the menu is pulled pork with rolls and side salads, so it could do with being something not too bready which could be served in a roll perhaps, or at least buffet friendly rather than something runny or saucy. Any ideas? TIA

Linda McCartney has veggie crispy duck at the moment which is apparently really delicious and we have had to stockpile it. It does mean we are eating crispy duck and pancakes every other weekend though.

Ooo I went to Greens in Didsbury and had slow cooked mushrooms. The closest recipe I've found is on vegetariandude.com... I haven't got it to hand but if you google vegan pulled pork sandwich it comes up that's how I found it. I've changed the recipe a bit according to taste.

It's so good!

Seconding the falafel. Serve with houmous.

And as a veggie I wouldn't want to eat fake meat!

I do a red lentil burger stuffed full of tiny cheese cube that melt. It's very yummy. The meat eaters always 'leave room' for one or two lol.

Curvy - They sound lovely. Any chance of a recipe, please?

Halloumi please!

I've tried this and it was good. chubbyvegetarian.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/pulled-eggplant-bbq_30.html?m=1

My extende family are vegetarians and they said jackfruit pulled pork was lovely. If you can find jackfruit there are recipes online for the pulled version.

Oh and I like the Linda McCartney range personally.

I don't usually mind fake meat products...but those pulled pork burgers were a really nasty texture.

Check these guys out. They have a mean burger recipe and whole range of other veggie recipes theantidotekitchen.com/product/30-day-vegan-cookbook-and-meal-plan/

Some great ideas here...

"No!!! Linda McCartney does frozen veggie pulled pork that is lovely!"

DD likes that. She also likes the veggie "duck", as do I, and I am not veggie. IMO the veggie duck is by far the nicest fake meat I have ever tasted.

I think bean burgers or falafel or portobello mushrooms with brie and roasted pepper in a bun are all good alternatives.
