The Xmas Edit 🎅🏼 Week 2 - Veggies & Sides
Week 2: Veggies & Sides
Welcome to another week of NoMeatDisco goodness!
Hey Everyone,
The big day’s creeping up fast! Hopefully, you’ve got some gifts sorted and maybe even started planning your Christmas feast. If not, no stress—I’ve got loads of recipes coming your way, here and on socials.
This week, it’s all about the veggies and sides. Christmas dinner’s basically a license to overindulge, and I’m here for it. But hey, life’s all about balance, right? Let’s take those veggies up a notch and turn them into the real stars of the plate—because we could all use a bit more veg in our lives!
Veggies
THE WORLD'S CRISPIEST ROAST POTATO 🥔
We all strive to get the crispiest roast potato at christmas and there are a million different techniques. I gave this one a go this year 🙌🏻
MISO PARSNIPS WITH PEA & BUTTER BEAN PURÉE 🥕
These miso glazed parsnips were incredible and on top of that sweet pea and creamy butter bean in a purée. Just wow! 😍
ORANGE & GARLIC INFUSED CONFIT CARROTS
These were a different way to cook carrots and they were so delicious, tender, sweet and full of flavour. Topped on a bed of yoghurt with an infused oil and Christmas crumb.
Sides
STUFFED MUSHROOM MEATBALLS 🍝
These really did surprise me in a good way, after I made them so many ideas went through my head of how I could incorporate them into other dishes! But I’ll leave that up to you 😜
ROASTED GRAPE CROSTINIS WITH VEGAN CREAM CHEESE 🍇
Grapes are an elite level fruit. In fact they’re one of my favs! So I thought why not incorporate them into a savory snack you can quickly whip up
CHARRED BROCCOLI & KALE SALAD WITH DATES & CARAMELIZED PECANS 🥦
There’s so many ways to elevate vegetables, sometimes on the Christmas table you just get a plate of boiled flavour less veggies that you don’t enjoy eating too much. So I’ve shown you here how you can elevate broccoli to another level! 😍
MAPLE & HARISSA SWEET POTATO GRATIN WITH ALMOND DUKKAH 🍠
We’re in full flow of Christmas recipes now and this is a great side dish to have on the Christmas table! The spice and the sweetness together work so well with the delicious sweet potato 🍠 😍
FESTIVE MAC N CHEEZEY BALLS 🍝
Oh look… I’ve got some more balls of goodness for you 😍😍 Cheezey, oozey macaroni in a crispy outer shell is a dream partnership right? 😏
THE BEST EVER VEGAN STUFFING BALLS 🎄
I mean these literally are the best little balls for your Christmas dinner table ever! You’ll love them so much! 😍
