Help! Veggie ideas for middle-eastern flavoured party this weekend!

[babypowder]

I'm completely stumped. We're doing mezze to start, so there will be loads of houmous and tabbouleh, salads, cheese, olives, that kind of thing. I'm doing chicken with lebanese potato salad and moroccan carrots (watch me mix-and-match recklessly!) for carnivores, and a salmon with a persian sauce for people who eat fish. But I am completely stumped for a main course for the veggies. Any ideas?

baked halloumi with lime vinaigrette .. although has to be done at the time .. its quick though and delish with lots of salad

vegetable couscous

this one .. not baked its fried

or halloumi kebabs

Falafel of course. There's a really nice beans in tomato dish but I can't remember what it's called. Spanakopitta (OK, I know, Greek).

You need a book like Claudia Roden's to browse for inspiration.

do the halloumi .. fallafel give one ploppy poos

I lurve halloumi. We always slap some on the BBQ. But falafel is easier for a party.

Spiced couscous with dried fruit (incl apricots) and roasted peppers on a flaky pastry bed, served with roasted baby potatoes and bitter salad leaves - yum. Halloumi skewers great too.

but ploppy poos PC, ploppy poos

So what? The guests will have left the party by the time the falafel comes through. Anyway vegetarians can cope with interesting poos - it's what theyr'e used to.

Falafel are lovely. You're covered for vegans/dairy allergies as well.

Halloumi it is, then! (Why didn't I think of that?) Thanks everyone.
