10 Vegetarian Christmas Recipes That Aren’t Nut Roast

Although we wouldn’t turn down a great nut roast, we've put together a selection of knockout Christmas dishes that blow this traditional veggie dish out of the water!

1. Whole Roasted Cauliflower

The cauliflower is veg patch royalty and this dish is one that certainly presents itself accordingly. Serve this showstopper with all of your usual Christmas trimmings and a rich onion gravy.

5. Roasted Baby Pumpkins with Chestnut, Cherry & Dolcelatte Stuffing

7. Celeriac and Sweet Garlic Pie

This high-sided pie takes time, care and love to make, but it’s Christmas and it’s totally worth it. Plus, it will keep in the fridge for a few days.

8. Mushroom and époisses Pithiviers

These beautiful puff pastry pies are filled with oozing melted cheese and mushrooms. To avoid a soggy bottom, put the pithiviers on a baking tray on the hob on a medium heat for a few minutes before popping them in the oven.

10. Beetroot and Shallot Tarte Tatin with Walnut, Orange and Dill Dressing

This one’s a great sharing starter and adds a pop of colour to the dinner table. If you don’t have beetroot you can solely use shallots and vice versa, it will be just as delicious.
