Anyone got any good recipes to share? My sister’s boyfriend is coming (despite my objections) to spend thanksgiving (small UK gathering, just me, my dad and my sister and her boyfriend; my family has American connections hence why thanksgiving is a thing with us before people ask) and he’s very anti vegan and has already started complaining that the food is going to be “boring and tasteless” in an attempt to force me to give in and have meat on the table (not happening).

So best ideas, products and recipes are much appreciated.

This is kinda just agreeing with someone else that commented, but if you can find a field roast…roast, those are generally pretty good in my opinion

I once did a flatbread-themed thanksgiving and it was awesome. apps were homemade pizza and flatbreads with antipasto (good quality olives, sundried tomatoes, grapes, etc), main course was an indian flatbread topped with mashed potatoes and curried veg-beef crumbles, and a layered crepe cake for dessert. It was one of my all-time favorite meals.

Butternut squash soup/stew. Add something spicy to it to really bring out the flavor.

Not really a vegan substitute for a Thanksgiving dish. But I’ve been really digging acorn squash recently. Super easy to make, and you can season it savory or sweet depending on what you’re serving it with.

Cut it in half down the middle, scoop out the seeds and innards. Rub some olive oil on the insides and for the savory version I like to season it liberally with some salt, black pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. You can really use any savory seasonings you like, it’s all to preference. Then you cook it facing down (like a dome) in an oven heated to 400 degrees for about 45-60 minutes until it gets tender.

For sweet just use some vegan butter (probably could just use olive oil for this as well, it doesn’t really alter the taste much) then season with some brown sugar and some cinnamon, and maybe some maple syrup if you have it around.

I usually just serve it in halves since I mostly just cook for me and my girlfriend, but you may need to cut it into portions if you’re serving it as a part of a bigger thanksgiving meal.
