Anyone have any suggestions? A good friend of mine (who can't cook to save his life) has asked me if I'd be willing to play personal chef for the evening. He has a romantic evening planned for his GF, and I'll be slipping out shortly after serving dessert.
Only problem is, she's a vegetarian. And most of my impressive/romantic/dinner party appropriate, tried-and-tested recipes are not. I don't have terribly much time to experiment with recipes, so if anyone has any ideas to recommend, I would appreciate it. Hopefully, I can test out a few recipes this week and weekend.
She does eat dairy, so that makes it a bit easier. No food allergies. Desert won't be a problem, and I can think of ideas for appetizers... just stuck on the entree. Everything I can think of just doesn't seem special.
It's hard to go wrong with eggplant parmisian, spinach lasagna, or tofu enchiladas with a large veggie salad.
Ooooh and strawberry something for dessert.
Have fun!
How about bell peppers stuffed with mushroom asparagus risotto and plated in a pool of red sauce? easy enough to do the main parts well ahead of time and then reheat covered in the oven. It will make a nice presentation.
I'd also consider something like penne vodka or a nice lemon or mushroom risotto or asparagus quiche. I make vegan versions of these that are simple and tasty, but they can be presented in a way that makes them seem a little more fancy than everyday dinner.
I would start with a nice lentil soup with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions.
Then a light salad of cucumber slices, ripe juicy tomatoes, thinly sliced yellow onions, sprinkled with firm tofu cubes and served with a balsamic dressing. Topped with freshly ground pepper and a garnish of fresh parsley sprigs.
For the main course, cheese and spinach stuffed Portobello mushrooms served over pasta. Vegan cheeses can be substituted instead of the animal derived cheeses.
