Vegetarian/vegan alternative for when family have lamb

[Fushia123]

Easter family meal for 11 - vegetarians, a vegan and meat eaters included.
If I slow cook a leg of lamb marinated in harissa, make a few rice salads and flatbreads, what could I make for the vegan/ veggies?
They could eat the salads and bread but can anyone suggest a simple but tasty ‘showstopper’ to go with them for the non meat eaters please?

A vegetarian tarte tatin, maybe using similar spicing?

In that context I would enjoy falafel, and halloumi for the veggies, with a harissa dressing.

This ottolenghi recipe is fantastic (sorry to link to a different website).

Actually @wfcats idea is better than mine.

If you have vegetarians and vegans something both can eat so you're not faffing around.
I'd do a whole roasted cauliflower on a hummus type base - something like this.

I love falafels but I think they'd be a bit workaday not something I'd have at a special Easter lunch.

What about maqluba, a Middle Eastern upside rice dish that is a bit of centre piece for a meal.

Or there’s a fancier Ottolenghi version here

This is very nice and would go with flatbreads. You could make it on Saturday.

Made this the other day, it was delicious

Sorry just saw you have a vegan… could substitute the yoghurt for a tahini/lemon juice dressing

Agree.

Also sweet potatoes and black beans are nice in a harrisa dressing.

Your are all brilliant! Thank you for fantastic ideas and suggestions.
Pushing my luck now, but what would you suggest for salads?! No coriander allowed. Xxxx😘😘

For salad I like a roasted veg & rice salad like this one https://nourishingamy.com/2020/06/22/balsamic-roasted-vegetable-rice-salad-vegan-gf/

Chickpea & veg salad - can make it with almost any crunchy salady veg but particularly good with red pepper, cucumber, avocado and a few cherry tomatoes. Needs a bit of red onion. If you let the chickpeas soak in the dressing for a bit it’s even better.

A green bean salad would work well, maybe with citrus dressing and toasted nuts of some sort

Salad. Great with lanb too
