OUR TOP RECIPES FOR A VEGETARIAN CHRISTMAS DINNER
When looking to plan a vegetarian Christmas dinner, everyone around the table should enjoy a festive, delicious meal that feels celebratory, without meat on the plate, whilst also looking colourful and a real feast for the eyes. We also very much need simple recipes that are stress-free for the cook!
With Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil, whether you are using our Oils, Dressings, Mayonnaise or Sauces, you can guarantee that every dish will be full of flavour, and simple to put together. Here’s a few of our favourite veggie recipes to share on the big day itself. Each tried, tested and loved by us.
FUSS FREE FESTIVE STARTER
With just three ingredients, this is one of our favourite dishes to show off the flavour of our Dijon & Black Pepper Dressing, and perfect to kick off the festive eats. Alternatively, for a sweeter option you can use our Sweet Cranberry Dressing instead, and pair with goats’ cheese. It’s a win-win either way.
FESTIVE AND FLAVOURFUL MAIN DISHES
Everyone around the table wants to feel like they have a showstopper of a dish as the festive centrepiece, and with our recipe suggestions, vegetarians need not miss out!
Squash, Chestnut & Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries Bake
A real showstopper of a bake and a great alternative to a nut roast for your meat free guests. Our Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Garlic gives this bake a real boost of flavour. Don’t be surprised if all your guests want to try it!
Cranberry & Cheese Christmas Wreath
This is a must make for us each Christmas. The perfect share dish for the festive table, packed with Yorkshire ingredients from our seasonal Sweet Cranberry Dressing made with Cranberries from Bracken Hill’s finest cranberry sauce, and Mrs. Bell’s Salad Cheese from artisan cheesemaker, Shepherds Purse.
TRADITIONAL SIDES WITH A TWIST
We like to keep our sides traditional and make sure there are plenty for everyone to enjoy.
Mini Rosemary & Sea Salt Hasselback Potatoes
Our Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Rosemary & Sea Salt has the perfect flavours for Christmas, ready to upgrade the humble spud.
Peppered Parsnip & Honey Tarte Tatin
This flavourful tarte makes a wonderful addition to your Christmas dinner for all. We love the delicious combination of our Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Cracked Black Pepper with the sweet honey.
The only twist on this offering is that some don’t see this as a traditional side for Christmas dinner, but we certainly do! Especially when we use Jennie’s own foolproof tips to make them!
SWEET TREATS
We all like to end the meal with a decadent dessert and we have the perfect sweet treat you need. Each of our sweet treat recipes is super simple and that's down to baking with our Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil.
It's a tradition for us to offer our Christmas Cake, with a little Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese on the side. Our recipe is a dense, fruity, boozy and well spiced offering, which pairs perfectly with this mild, creamy and slightly tangy flavoured cheese.
Boozy Fig & Yorkshire Blue Stacked Sponges
An indulgent sweet treat, full of classic festive flavours. We love the delicate sweetness of the figs and the honey combined with the mild and creamy blue cheese. The boozy addition just takes this to another level.
