We’ve got friends coming over for supper on 29th December. It’s going to be a relaxed evening with DC there too (DC have requested beige food).

I’m stuck for what to make. I’d like it to be straightforward (we’re hosting DH’s family the day before) but still a bit special. The only limitation is no meat.

smoked fish risotto or fish pie perhaps? Risotto would be much easier.

Vegetable biryani. This recipes looks like a chicken biryani but it's actually mostly about the biryani method and in the notes it explains in detail how to use vegetables instead of chicken. It's a good recipe and we enjoyed it. https://www.recipetineats.com/biryani/

Biryani

Biryani is a celebration of all that is great about Indian food! The aromas, the vibrant colour, that fluffy rice. Choose from a chicken biryani, vegetable biryani or other protein of choice.

One pot for serving or for cooking?

For serving:
Veg lasagne
Veg curry but unless you do a biryani it's also rice and sides
Bean chilli - again with rice and sides

One pot to cook.
Biryani is a good idea but I’ve made a few chicken biryanis recently.
Fish pie is a nice idea if I can find an easy recipe.

Cook new potatoes and beans. (Or any other veg you like).
Pour over a jar of Lloyd Grosman tomato and basil sauce.
Lay thin pieces of cod on top.
Cook for about 5 minutes in the oven or until the cod is cooked.

Simple, quick and easy.

You want Gordon Ramsay's fish pie.

There is an old and easy recipe by Jamie O for salmon fillets cooked as a tray bake with tomatoes, olives, anchovies, basil and blanched green beans. I often use tenderstem broccoli instead of beans ( or as well as) depending on season.it works well for crowds and I serve it with bread as there are lovely juices. You could boil a few spuds if you wanted though.
Yotem O recipe for orzo with prawns and marinated feta is likewise easy for groups and quick to prepare .A green salad or greens with a sharpish dressing would go well.

Nigella's "speedy seafood supper" is a favourite of ours. We sometimes have it for Xmas Eve dinner. It's fast and easy but also special enough for company.

Fish stew but served in hollowed out bread bowls, my friend regularly makes this and it’s divine!

This book is pretty much bulletproof for one-dish veggie and vegan recipes.
