Dinner ideas to include vegetarian part

[illmonkey]

I have good friends coming over for festivities, one of them is a veggie so trying to do something that we can all have, just 2 of us with meat, rather than giving them something totally different.

I thought about curry, as most sides, breads are fine, then I can do 2 curries one with meat, one without. Or 1 and just split it. It also is far enough removed from Christmas lunch.

Saying that, any other bright ideas? I don’t usually cater for veggies

I have done the 2 curry thing, non veggies tuck into the veggie stuff so I don't bother with meat.

That did occur. He won’t eat a load of meat so will go between. Whereas I’m a devoted carnivore and anything without meat isn’t a meal

Thinking I could do one veg curry and some chicken skewers or something.

What about an Italian pasta bake, some thing like this: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/... One dish for everyone then

I've done individual Wellingtons before. Beef for the meaters and a roasted Mediterranean veg for the veggie.

Jailhouse Chili but with varieties of beans in, and stloads of cheese.

Sneak some sausage stuffing balls into yours.

Mac and cheese.
Dish up the veggie one and then stir in chopped up pigs in blankets(cooked) for everyone else.
Serve with garlic bread and chips.
Everyones a winner

Would you like a side of carbs with that

Tell me it wouldnt go down well. Serve a mixed salad to go with it if you are worried

[mattvanders]

Misses is veggie and i’m not, quite often to a parsnip risotto (parsnips mashed up and added to the rice) and topped with bacon/lardons or veggie lardons.

No need to cook two curries when you can all have the same

Prawn Dhansak
Nasi Goreng
Lentil & kidney bean chillie
Boiled egg curry
One of my favourites New Potato, rainbow chard and coconut curry

I would go with veggie curry and have some tandoori chicken or lamb for meat eaters.

Wil be completely separate from the curry and easier than making 2 curries.

Having said that the Mac and cheese idea goes sound good.

Give the veggie plenty of peas!
