Veggie Christmas Day main!

16 replies

familyissues12345 · 20/12/2025 17:03

Hi!

Looking for ideas for a main for me and mum (only veggies). Can’t involve any nuts, onion or garlic due to allergies.

Happy to buy or create something, would love some inspiration

Thanks!

You don’t need to include the walnuts, just top with breadcrumbs

Quorn roast does it for me

I either have a Quorn Roast or a pie and sausages. Haven't made my mind up what I'll have this year yet. My own vegetarian gravy boat which is great as I can put on as much gravy as I like.

I am a big fan of a nut roast.

Great for you. Not so great for the OP who cannot have nuts.

Oh sorry @familyissues12345. I misread your post. Apologies.

We do a vegetable Jalousie ( known as the juicy Lucy 😂) it does have garlic in but that could be omitted as it’s not central to the flavour.

A soya Turkey perhaps ?

Forgot to add we prep the night before then just construct on the day

Oh some fab ideas! Thanks everyone

This is my go-to vegetarian main - can be served with exactly the same side dishes so very easy. Often found that the non-veggies round the table would have a little slice too.

Easy to make a day or two ahead.

Jamie’s cheesy Brussels pie is great- you can omit the nuts on top & just use breadcrumbs. Equally you could use leaks/ celery instead of onions in the filling. The pastry is made with 300g PFlour and Chestnuts but you could just switch those out for another 200g of flour if they are an issue.

Chestnut Brussels sprouts pie

A luxurious vegetarian main that I love to serve during the festive season!

Actions always speak louder than words.

Just hide that dehydrator really well.
