Satisfying non-vegans

[Guest guest]

I'm throwing a party in two weeks, but I'm the only vegan...all my friends

are meat-eaters. However, I wouldn't serve anything non-vegan just to cater

to their wants. I NEED recipes! I'm not the best cook in the world (I've

tried contacting caterers here but none do vegan food) so do you any of you

have any yummy, easy recipes you could share with me??? I want them to

leave my party thinking, " Wow, vegan food tastes BETTER than (or just as

good as) meat! "

 

Thanks everyone!

I've had several parties where all my guests are non vegan and I find the

following easy recipes go down really well.

 

 

Get large baguettes, white and brown, cut into sandwich sizes and fill with

1.hummous and tomato.

2.avocado mashed up with lemon juice and garlic. mix in spinach leaves and

canned butter beans.

3.'Tartex' yeast pate and salad

 

You could also cut carrot and peppers into slices and use in dips.

 

Another good dip for tortilla chips or vegetable pakora/bahjis is mix tomato

ketchup with lemon juice and dried mint. great!

 

You could also roast sliced potatoes/parsnips in olive oil. Season with

salt/pepper.

 

Rice made with veg stock and add curry powder at the end.

You could maybe also stuff tomatoes or peppers with this.

 

Roughly chop 4OZ dates and put in food processor/liquidiser/blender with 2oz

raisins till it forms a sticky paste.

Sprinkle 1oz desiccated coconut onto peice of baking parchment and roll the

date and raisin mix on top into a 6in square, turning it over so the other

side is coated

Cover with a peice of baking parchment.

Place between the 2 layers of paper and cover with another plate.

Put in fridge for 3-4 hrs to firm.

Cut into squares or diamonds.

 

Bowls of vegan sweets or dried fruit and nuts also seem to go fast too.

 

Stick peices of fresh pineapple, strawberries melon on coctail sticks.

 

I don't bother with meat substitutes anymore. I find people tend to be more

impressed with what you can do with a vegetable. So hope this is help. They

are at least quick and easy.
