I'll be honest: I've never been a big Christmas food fanatic. Even when I ate meat I was always nagging at my mum to do something more interesting or just even make some stuffing that involved some fancy cheese (I think one year I petitioned for a lobster instead of a turkey). And even though Christmas can be difficult to navigate as a vegetarian I love being left to my own devices instead of eating what is put in front of me.
So what have I narrowed it down to this year?
For starters
Butternut squash, chilli and crème fraiche soup
For main
Glazed lentil walnut and apple loaf
I would love to cook more but I am doing my commute from Glasgow to my parents' abode in Aberdeenshire on Christmas Eve so will only have the morning to prepare (though I am getting my parents' kitchen to myself whilst my uncle deals with the turkey).
But if I did have the time this is what would have also happened:
Christmas Quiche
Whole roasted cauliflower with cheddar and spring onion sauce
Lentil Mushroom Walnut Balls with Cranberry-Pear Sauce
Is your menu set? What are you eating, vegetarian or otherwise?
All my Christmas vegetarian love!
