Answer 1

Boil some lettuce.

Answer 2

If he's vegetarian (lacto and ovo meaning he will consume milk and egg products) and not vegan (meaning absolutely NO animal products), then most of the sides that accompany any traditional Turkey dinner should be vegetarian. Sweet potatos, mashed potatos, cranberry sauce, that weird green bean and french onion casserole thing that nobody eats, corn, pumpkin pie...these are all vegetarian options. Even the stuffing is vegetarian if you don't stuff the turkey with it. Ask the cook to use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in their recipes as well. All of these things should be more than enough for any person to enjoy and be sufficiently full at the end of the meal. If you're still interested in making him something special then I recommend cooking up his favorite side dish, or ask him what he loves to eat at Thanksgiving dinners.

Vegetarian Wild Rice and Mushroom Pilaf

INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 cup wild rice, uncooked
* 2 3/4 cups vegetable broth
* 3/4 cups brown rice, uncooked
* 1 onion, diced
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 3 cups mushrooms, sliced
* 2 celery stalks, sliced
* 1/2 tsp sage
* 1/2 tsp marjoram
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1/3 cup chopped almonds

PREPARATION:
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a large saucepan and add the wild rice. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then add brown rice. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes, or until rice is done cooking.

In a large skillet, sautee the onions and garlic until onions are brown and carmelized, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Add mushrooms, celery and spices and cook for another 5 minutes, adding more oil or a little bit of broth if needed.

Add the cooked rice, fresh parsley and almonds, and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute or two, until everything is just heated through.

Answer 4

I like squash ravioli, which is a bit different, but still a nice 'Thanksgiving' themed dish:

1 packet wonton wrappers (in the produce section of your grocery)
1 packet frozen orange squash, or 1.5 cups cooked butternut squash
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
6 tablespoons butter
Pepper and salt to taste
1 egg

Mix 1 teaspoon thyme, the sage, 2 tablespoons butter and the cooked squash.
Lay out 1/2 of the wonton wrappers. Brush them with egg. Put a spoonful of squash mix in the centre of each raviolo. Then place one wonton on top of each and press down the edges. Let dry for 20 minutes.
Boil them for 7 minutes. Drain, and fry lightly in a pan with four tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme. Serve the sage butter and pecans as a sauce.

i am going to try tofurkey feast this year. It serves 4 people so others may want to try it. It comes with a cranberry dressing and some other stuff. Maybe you could look into that. I looked up where it is available by searching tofurkey. Not too expensive. Good luck. Also try www.theveganconnection.com, the lady has some awesome recipes.

Answer 7

I am using this for my brother who is a vegan

Grilled Portobellos Filled w/Wild Rice-Almond Pliaf & Piqullio Pepper Vinaigrette.

I hope it helps.

8 medium-sized portobello caps
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Wild Rice Pilaf, recipe follows
Piquillo Pepper Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted


Heat grill to high. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill caps until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Fill the caps with the wild rice pilaf, drizzle the piquillo vinaigrette and sprinkle tops with the toasted almonds.

Wild Rice Pilaf:
1 1/2 cups wild rice
3 cups chicken stock, plus 1/2 cup
2 cups water
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Place wild rice in a colander and rinse well with cold water. Combine 3 cups of the stock and the water in a large saucepan with a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Add the rice and cook until the grains open and are very soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drain well.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the cooked wild rice, thyme, rosemary and remaining 1/2 cup of stock and season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through and flavors combine, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the parsley.

Piquillo Pepper Vinaigrette:
5 piquillo peppers, chopped
1/2 small red onion, coarsely chopped
8 cloves roasted garlic, peeled
1/4 cup aged sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified.

Answer 9

Try the frozen stir fry veggies. They have several varieties. Birds eye have some and also Great Value (Walmart brand).
They are super LOW in salt also. I eat meat myself but these veggies are super to my taste buds.
