Hi everyone,

 

I'm not a frequent poster, but I certainly am a frequent lurker.

*lol* Anyway, I need some suggestions as to what to bring for a

potluck lunch next Friday and who better to come to than this

forum? :) But first, let me explain what I'm dealing with.

 

I've been at my new forestry job for two weeks, here in a tiny

community in northern British Columbia. Because it seems like

everyone in the office either moose/deer hunts or is married to a

moose/deer hunter (yes, we are deep into hunting season), I suspect

that I may be the only vegetarian in the bunch! I want to take part

and bring something interesting to the potluck, but not too far out

that people won't try the food because it's " too weird " . Do you see

what I'm getting at? I suspect obvious chunks of tofu wouldn't go

over too well. ;)

 

The sign-up list is woefully small so far (only four people including

myself), so I haven't got a good idea of what else is being brought

apart from baked beans, buns, and " something Spooktacular " (hey, it

IS practically Halloween!). I've been told that crockpot dishes are

popular since there are so many mouths to feed (70+ people in the

office).

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now, I'm leaning towards a

big chickpea curry (including flatbreads) since I have a good recipe

and it is sort of middle-of-the-road vegetarian cuisine. Other

options include some kind of interesting rice dish (I'm not sure

what) or a couple of kinds of dips like hummus or something similar.

 

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Kathy

Sorry ,the Subject line should read " POTluck " not " POSTluck " . That

could be some kind of Freudian slip with a meaning I haven't figured

out yet. ;)

hi kathy,

what about a mushroom risotto? it would be earthy and

not too far out there to scare people off. or a potato

salad or hashbrown casserole? potatoes are always a

big hit...esp with meat eaters. :)

 

here's a few other ideas:

..a veggie tray with dips

..hummus with toasted pitas

..fruit and cheese

..little falafels with tahini sauce to dip in

..a big tossed salad

..a layered bean dip with tortilla chips

..little veggie sandwiches (ex: party rye with garden

herb spread, a slice of cucumber and a sprinkle of

dill or pimento cheese finger sandwiches)

..stuffed mushrooms

 

hope that helps. let us know what you take and how it

goes over.

I definately always feel like I am taking a feast when

I go to potlucks, cause I take a whole meal for me

since I can't eat 99% of what is at those things.

Usually I do a pasta salad, with some steamed veggies,

pine nuts and maybe some chicpeas with a basil

dressing.

I will make some baked beans (vegweb.com has a

multitude of great baked beans!)

And if I am feeling adventerous, and I can bring hot

food easily, I will do my vegan lasagne - tofu,

soymilk and nutritional yeast make a great " cheese "

like filling with whatever spices you like...usually

basil, garlic and oregano...and I throw in five or six

types of veggies, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower,

zuccini, squash, eggplant. Then whatever sauce you

want and voila!!

I also usually make some vegan cookies for a dessert

(since I can't even have that!)

there's a big ol meal that I usually don't take a lot

of home.

I agree pasta salad is a great idea. I use the corkscrew pasta intri-color

(usually has spinisch green ,etc.) I toss in some marinated artichoke hearts,

pimento too for color and a bowl full of steamed veggies. There's a ton of good

dressings to mix with it also.

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for the fabulous suggestions! Apparently our office

has " quarterly " potlucks, so I definitely have lots of ideas to keep

me busy over the next year. ;)

 

I think I will go with a combination of Susie's and Kim's ideas: a

pumpkin risotto with a bit of roasted red pepper mixed in for looks

and flavour, with some *real* parmesan. Risotto looks impressive

(like I slaved for days! lol), the pumpkin makes it seasonal, and

it's still veg-friendly. :) I talked to my hubby, who just happens to

be a northern Italian, and he said pumpkin or any winter squash in a

risotto is quite traditional. I was going to do the mushroom version

using dried porcini, but like I said in my first post, this is a

small town in the north and even the fresh mushrooms are not looking

too good! But pumpkins and other squash are fresh and in abundance

right now. ;)

 

Thanks again for your fab ideas and I'll let everyone know how it

went (the potluck is Friday).

 

Cheers,

Kathy

Hi Kim,

 

Do you have a pumpkin chowder recipe? It sounds fabulous and

something I would make just for myself. ;) I LOVE winter squash in

soups, stews, stirfries and whatever I can put it in. Some squash are

better than others (i.e. butternut squash=yum; spagetti squash=ick,

IMHO), but generally I'll take any one of them.

 

Cheers,

Kathy

The last time I went to a potluck with non-vegetarians, I took a big pot

of vegetarian chili. It's familiar to the carnivores, the taste is not

much different than what they are used to, and - if it doesn't go over

well, it is easy to store for your own use later. Everyone loved it

and I brought no left-overs home.

Kathy,

 

I don't have an exact recipe but some guidelines...

 

2 cups of pumpkin puree...(I usually bake my pumpkin then scoop out the flesh

and put it through the food processor.

 

2 or more cloves of garlic minced

 

1 onion finely minced

 

4 cups of vegetable broth

 

1-2 cups of unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk ( I prefer almond)

and make my own...

 

cumin

coriander seeds ground

chili powder

fresh cilantro

soy or almond cheddar cheese

 

sauté the onions, garlic, and corriander seeds in some olive oil, add veg broth

and pumpkin let simmer 20 minutes stir in milk to get desired consistency add

chili powder and cumin (to taste)...simmer 10 or so more minutes.

 

Serve with fresh minced cilantro and a sprinkle of cheese.

 

The cilantro is a must...I can do without the cheese!

melissa, would look forward to it if you ever quantified up the vegan

lasagne more formally with recipe amounts sometime, sounds really good.

 

on the pineapple - cream cheese deal, i used to see a great dessert

recipe done with those plus jello and walnuts. i've now gotten vegan

fake jello and fake cream cheese and want to try it, but will test on

myself before inflicting on others. if you don't hear from me again,

you'll know how it went ;-)

No problem (although I will admit...I do tend to do

things " by look " when I cook...but I can approximate

for you)

 

For the " cheese " type filling

I box of firm silken tofu

1/4 c. soy milk

4 cloves of garlic...minced

2 tsp oregano (or 1 1/2 dried)

4 tsp Basil (or 3 1/2 dried)

2 tsp of parsley (do not ever use dried...makes it

taste really funky that way)

1 tsp sea salt

2 tbs lemon juice

put all above through a food processor till creamy and

cottege cheesey...

a small handful of soy mozzerella if desired in the

filling added after the food processor

 

For the veggies:

I do a hndful of each of whatever is in my

fridge...sometimes more if I don't have a lot of

variety...usually looks like this...

Broccoli, yellow squash, zuccini squash, mushrooms,

eggplant.

Then I layer in tomato sauce, cooked lasagna noodles,

tomato sauce (usually Newman's own or Amy's Marinara

if I don't make my own), grated carrots, spinach

leaves, chunky veggies, and the cheesy filling. then

repeat twice more.

I top with a layer of grated soy cheese (sometimes!)

and more sauce. Usually I use a whole jar of sauce,

approximately 6-8 cups?

This is VERY large. I use a 8x12 pan. It's usually

almost overflowing, depending on how much veggies I

use.

This bakes at 350 for about 35 min. I just watch it

after 30 to make sure it isn't scorching, and wait

till the soy-cheese is good and melty (I use vegan

rella or vegan gormet) and the edges of the noodles

are begining to look like they will get crispy if left

in any longer.

This stuff had my theatre kids AMAZED. Actually the

whole pan was gone and everyone was eating by the time

most of them realized... " Wait a minute...who made the

lasagne?? " a kid asked after he had eaten two

helpings... " Ms. Hill " ...around seven people go " Oh

crap! " cause they knew they had just eaten soy. HEHE

I am bad with recepies unless I get them out of a book

and well, even then I usually eyeball things. I get it

from my grandma. She is so bad/good she doesn't use

measureing spoons. You should see me adapting some of

her famous recipes into vegan ones. It's a hoot.

Next time: Goolash - a grandma favorite!
