Interesting vegetarian dishes?

Question

I'm helping to plan my sister's wedding and need some suggestions for vegetarian alternatives. My veggie friends often complain that vegetarian options are usually pretty bland. What are some interesting vegetarian dishes that you would recommend? So far I'm thinking of something like stuffed eggplant, risotto, or some kind of pasta primavera.

Answer 1

Vegetarian Moussaka is really really yummy. It is almost like vegetable lasange, except you use sliced eggplant instead of pasta.
Make a basic tomato sauce (onions, garlic, olive oil, canned tomatoes, salt and pepper) to which you could even add some green or red peppers. Then make a normal cheese sauce (butter, flour, cheese and milk). Slice up the eggplant and cover a rectangular lasange dish with one layer of the sliced eggplant. Then cover with the tomato sauce then the cheese sauce. Then continue the layering process until the dish is full. Grate a bit of cheese on the top of the final layer of cheese sauce. Bake in an oven at about 200 C for about 15 minutes and serve. It is really delicious!!

If you want a vegetarian alternative that everyone will love go to your local grocery store in the frozen breakfast food Ilse and pick up a meat substitute. use the beef crumbles to make vegetarian/vegan spaghetti or chili, use the chicken strips to make jerk chicken, jerked portebella is always good with wild rice. Also try soups like black bean and salsa soup:

INGREDIENTS:
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup chunky salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

DIRECTIONS:
In an electric food processor or blender, combine beans, broth salsa and cumin. Blend until fairly smooth.
Heat the bean mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat until thoroughly heated. To serve, ladle soup into 4 individual bowls and top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon green onion.

Answer 4

When I was in college I had some friends who were from India who were vegetarians and they shared some very tasty dishes with me on several occasions.

I remain carnivorous, but would suggest you see if there are any Indian restaurants who can help you with catering or some food ideas.

Your dish ideas sound good.

Answer 5

If you are catering, go to a local organic store and see if they can use organic ingredients.

My husband was a BIG TIME meat & potato eater. He is almost to the point he won't eat anything unless it's organic, due to the taste and quality difference. I'm spoiled too now. We do have eggs and chicken and sometimes milk, but it's all organic and tastes 10x better than regular stuff.

Joan wake the FùCK up please, I mean ffs, we live in a 'civilized world' ffs, what madness drove you to asking this utterly, idiotic, question?

Want a decent question? Don't bother, I already made one up.

Interesting ways of killing?
I'm helping to plan someone's death and need some suggestions for melee alternatives. My good friends often complain that hand to hand options are usually pretty messy. What are some interesting ways of killing that you would recommend? So far I'm thinking of something like incaping him, or some kind of 'pierced-eye-balls'.

(ps: just fùcking stab her in the throat, and stab him in the head, at the exact same time they say yes)

Yours Faithfully, D.

Answer 7

hmm i was trying to think of something i make on a regular basis that is "wedding-y" but it all seemed too crazy for sensitive tastes. i think your eggplant idea is right on the money - who doesn't like eggplant parmesan?
