I'm looking for ways of adapting a couple of dishes for vegetarian guests over the festive season but not including Christmas dinner. Where possible, I'd like to offer a vegetarian option of the same thing rather than something completely different.
Very happy for other people to add requests for help with vegetarian alternatives they are wrestling with too.
'Christmas dinner leftovers pie' (turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets, white sauce, veg, chestnuts, mixed in white sauce topped with puff pastry): looking for vegetarian protein. I've used tofu or veg sausages in the past. Any different ideas? I'd rather keep the veggie sausages for making sausage rolls for same group on another day and I know people get bored of tofu.
Smoked salmon and cream cheese is always a hit - bagels/blinis etc. What can i replace the smoked salmon with to make a special vegetarian topping? (please note my vegetarian friends eat all cheeses)
Egg and bacon rolls are a popular breakfast when we have people staying over. I've made portobello mushroom & cheese alternatives or avocado and tomato. Any other ideas? One of the vegetarian friends doesn't like eggs but is an option for one of the others.
Interesting sandwich fillings for baguettes/ciabatta to go with soup. Usually tuna mayo, salmon, coronation turkey, or hot pork & stuffing. Vegetarian alternatives that are a bit more interesting than humis or cheese? I saw 'Coronation Chickpea' on a cafe menu recently and am kicking myself for not trying it!
I'm sure I'll think of more and as said very happy for others to add their questions as I am always looking for new vegetarian ideas . Thank you.
