Tricky one...
I'm cooking for a bunch of people on Thursday, one of whom doesn't eat meat (seafood/fish is fine, it's not a principled choice). Having established that it's socially acceptable to cook both a meat dish and a vegetarian dish, I need vegetarian food ideas.
The main course will be a bolognese/meatballs kind of thing (making it to prove a point), so I'm looking for a starter and a vege option to go alongside that.
Any ideas?

deleted comment because someone... not mentioning any names here, no no, thought that pointing out this turn of phrase made me sick and wrong. I think we all know who the sick and wrong one is.
so seriously, what does the rest of the post say?
I hope that I will live to see you undress |

I'll be honest, I think it's my own magic touch that makes the best garlic bread... This time I used part-baked baton-style bread, baked it for a little, then cut it into pieces almost, but not quite, all the way through, and added mostly-melted butter with crushed garlic and mixed dried herbs, then baked it a bit longer.
Almost exactly how anyone else would make garlic bread in fact, it's just that I do it better.

Grilled Garlic Bread With Tarragon And Lemon
Grilling is the best way I know to make garlic bread. The fire crisps the bread and imparts an irresistible smoke flavor. Especially when coupled with the bright licoricey taste of fresh tarragon.
1 baguette
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
a few drops fresh lemon juice
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, at room temp
freshly ground black pepper
1. place all ingredients in bowl and stir or whisk until light and fluffy
2. preheat grill to high
3. cut the bread sharply on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices. arrange slices on baking sheet. spread the garlic butter on both sides of the bread slices.
4. grill the bread until golden brown on both sides, 1-2 minutes per side. don't take your eyes off the grill for a second, as the bread will burn quickly. serve at once
i'm guessing you do it on a baking sheet on top of the grill.. otherwise it would probably burn instantly..
I'm gonna try that bad boy out and get back to you, floop. It sounds promising,
especially the tarragon part. Thanks for posting.

What do you put on it before you grill it? And do you grill it
directly on the grill or do you wrap it in Reynolds Wrap first?

Oh, wait. This isn't the dinner party for dead people thread.

What? The room or the dinner?
I crack myself up.
Dinner was good I think. I've decided I make the best garlic bread in the world. I had to make bolognese as main course to prove a point (and we decided that no, actually, his bolognese was barely a pale imitation, heheh), and the veggie dish was a similar kind of tomato sauce, but with grilled aubergine and goat's cheese.
Good, I think, if not overly revolutionary.

I KNEW you were gonna say that. I knew I would have to use an emoticon to show you I wasn't riled. I was just being honest, sometimes you are just so clueless.     (that enough for ya?)
I like the way you used the old classic "Oh you're so easy to rile" to cover up your lack of a clue. Once again.
I guess floop WAS right!

The asparagus.
I guess you could have used the knock on the head as an excuse, were it not for that fact that you were often this 'not with it' before.

In defense of my asparagus pasta, Homers, it's both delicious and quick to make.
You can boil water, can't you? That's pretty much all it entails.
