Wow! All of the suggested menus for the Purim seudahs that others posted sound so yummy. Very Happy

We're having some vegetarian guests, though, and I'd like something substantial for them to enjoy while I don't skimp for my DH, a real meat eater. He's allergic to soy (so no tofu).

I thought I'd start with a split pea or lentil soup, have some kind of brown rice pilaf, and make wine-poached chicken for DH and myself. Challah, of course. Any suggestions for bulking up the offerings? I don't have a working oven so have to do all on stovetop, in microwave or crockpot.

The other thing is, I can't see cooking an extravaganza that's bigger than what I will do for Shabbos. (Anybody else feel that way?)

Party

Fabulous

Not sure if guests eat eggs. One will eat fish....

Also, I'm not good on desserts. I figure I'll serve the hamantaschen we receive in shalach manos and go from there! Hooray

I make an indian spiced chickpea stew that is filling and yummy. It has common ingredients.

Bruschetta as a starter.

Filling soup like you said.

Make a yummy filling quinoa salad. You can serve the quinoa piled high in roasted portobello mushrooms for a bit more "meatiness" as the vegetarian main course.

You can do KBD's crockpot vegetables as a warm side.

Melon skewers for dessert.

If they'll eat fish, I have recipes for sushi salad and salmon using soy free homemade sauces. (And if they don't eat fish, you can still make the sushi salad as a starter and omit the fish kani.)

Hey I know this was years ago but I was looking to see if people had ideas for Shalach manos, this caught my eye, and wondered if you could share your sushi salad recipe if you still remember it? Smile

I was hoping to make it but forgot how I did mine last time-I believe it was rice, rice vinegar, wasabi powder-but I can't think of what else was in it! My hubby also cannot have soy...
TIA!

Eggplant and portebello mushrooms can be very meat like and filling.

I make a sushi salad with sushi rice, and diced mango, avocado and kani, drizzled with mock teriyaki sauce. Sometimes I drizzle some spicy mayo too
