Christmas can be a tricky time for vegetarians with turkey, ham and goose dominating menus and recipes everywhere, so we’ve collected a few of our favourite meat-free recipes to give you a few ideas for the ultimate veggie Christmas feast.

 

Starters

Nothing says decadence like a three-course meal, and there are far more exciting things for you to enjoy than the old stand-by salads.

Spiced Parsnip and Apple Soup

Easy, relatively quick to make and absolutely delicious, this wintry little favourite will make a great Christmas starter or a festive lunch.

Squash, Sage and Chestnut Rolls

These sausage roll alternatives make the perfect finger food for any Christmas party and smell gorgeous while cooking as an added bonus.

Mains

main (1)Roast Stuffed Pumpkin with Gingery Tomato Sauce

Roasted pumpkins make a great alternative to the traditional roast turkey, and with the wide variety of stuffing ideas out there you’d be hard pressed to find one that doesn’t appeal. We’re particularly fond of this recipe from cookery queen Nigella Lawson, featuring a basmati rice stuffing and a wonderfully Christmassy sauce.

Nut Roast with Salsa Rossa Picante

If squashes aren’t your thing, then nuts can make an excellent (and tasty) alternative. Nut roasts come in many different shapes and forms but this one from healthy food champion Jamie Oliver has a spicy twist to keep things interesting.

Christmas Veggie Wellington

For those who aren’t fans of the roast as a Christmas centrepiece there’s always this alternative of a British winter classic that would make a great main event for any festive meal. With a rice and mushroom filling and crisp puff pastry on the outside, there’s everything to love about this unconventional Wellington.

Desserts

Most desserts are vegetarian (we hope, anyway), but if you’re looking for inspiration this season here’s one of our favourite recipes anyway:

3d-christmas-tree-cookies-233D Christmas Cookies

A little fiddly to make (and eat, probably,) but definitely one for showing off at your Christmas party, these festive little treats are easier to put together than they look. All you really need is a good biscuit recipe and some star-shaped cookie cutters!
