Over the past few years, we’ve made a conscious choice to reduce our meat consumption during the holiday season, especially at Christmas. While traditional Christmas dinners often feature a lot of meat, we firmly believe that a delicious and fancy dinner doesn’t necessarily require it. In this article, we’re delighted to share vegetarian menu options to inspire your own Christmas feast.
Appetizers: Kick Off with Flavor
For a delightful appetizer, consider serving soup alongside some crusty bread. Try our delicious broccoli zucchini soup, or opt for a different but equally enticing option with mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, our fresh fattoush salad is a delightful choice.
Main Courses: Vegetarian Delights
For the main course, we made a selection of tasty vegetarian options:
- Vegetarian stew with chickpeas: A flavorful stew that will satisfy your holiday cravings.
- Risotto with green peas and pesto: Creamy risotto paired with green peas and the richness of pesto.
- Spinach broccoli quiche: A comforting quiche that’s perfect for Christmas.
If you make the quiche, we recommend not going for the broccoli soup for your first course to keep your meal balanced.
Desserts: Sweet Conclusions
First we’ll mention a light dessert: stewed pears – a warm and comforting treat. For those short on time but still craving a visually appealing dessert, Eton Mess is a fantastic choice.
And, of course, no Christmas dinner is complete without a classic favorite. Our timeless tiramisu recipe is our go-to option when we have friends and family over, and it’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
This Christmas, celebrate with an exceptional vegetarian menu that’s just as festive and satisfying as a traditional dinner. Enjoy a delicious holiday dinner while reducing your ecological footprint – it’s a win-win!
