Hi everyone!! I am getting married this summer and I really want my main course to be vegetarian for all guests. I just can't seem to find a recipe that would be "chic" enough for a wedding. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance
I would think of something like a really classy berry fruit salad as an appetizer. there's lots of great recipes out there. I think what you're probably looking for is a certain air of elegance for the event? I'd spend some time talking with your husband/wife and really explore what kind of foods you enjoy together. I've always thought like a vegetable stir fry with seeds looks pretty on a plate. Penne and vegetable sauce? I'm just flipping through The Detox Cookbook by Maggie Pannell. She has a pretty good selection of vegetarian stuff. Really a LOT of vegetarian recipes could make it at a wedding. You're looking for food that tastes great and presents well, and honestly veggies do just that. I'd probably lean towards a veggie pasta of some kind, but *shrug* i don't know if that's wedding chic or not?
jicama sticks marinated in honey mustard dressing strawberry, walnut & spinach salad, w/balsamic vinegar soups: squash, carrot & ginger, or a cold soup like melon & mint herb roasted root veggies, esp. purple potatoes I'll keep thinking...I had a veggie & vegan reception too..
O I had a flash... maybe too involved tho, it could look and taste new-vo cuisine like. stacked food, do a raw food vegan lasagna. look up recipes on the net, I know that zucchini is used as the pasta part. lots of basil and fresh tomato puree.
A friend of mine got marred last year and had stuffed mushrooms and peppers, sweet potato moqueca, and a mushroom and green bean spaghetti - it was good!
I went to a vegetarian and alcohol free wedding last summer. It was casual and outside in a beautiful tent and for main dishes they had sstuffed mushrooms and eggplant and a pasta bar. They also had a smoothie station, yummy!
Awesome! Me and my beau are getting married in early June and plan on having a vegetarian menu. So far, this is what the menu looks like: -Carrot, orange and ginger soup -Stacked hummus and taboule with pita chips -Fried halloumi on mixed greens with a tad of roasted pepper puree -Stuffed tomato with pesto pasta and parsnip-parmesan puree -Strawberry and walnut salad with balsamic vinegar dressing -Chocolate-caramel wedding cake I thought about having a smart drinks bar for smoothies and such during the party, in addition to the regular bar, could be cool.
