Someone just asked me what I'd serve at a strictly vegetarian Thanksgiving. I'd follow the usual criteria and cover the table with eye dazzling color, stomach filling heartiness, comforting yet glamorous dishes of seasonal ingredients. Plus it has to be memorable. So, like this:
* indicates recipe is in Veggiyana, the Dharma of Cooking (Wisdom Publications)
** indicates recipe has been posted on this blog
*** indicates recipe is in How to Fix a Leek and Other Food from Your Farmers' Market (Eat These Words Press)
First Round
Turkish Pumpkin Pancakes*
or Libyan Pumpkin Dip** and
Corn Tart*
Wild Rice and Pecan Salad*
Nutmeat Paté*
Second Round
Root Vegetable Pot Pie*
or Winter Vegetable Timbale*
Red Kuri Squash with Kale Mushroom Stuffing***
Pumpkin stuffed with Rice, Saffron, Apricots**
Grit Souffle with Piperade*
Potato Tart***
Apples Stuffed with Sweet Potatoes***
Blueberry Apple Chutney***

It's all vegetarian so enjoy yourself to the hilt!
