Popular desserts like shortbread are definitely out for plant-based eaters, but Liddon’s recipes offer lots of opportunity to indulge, like her frozen, raw pumpkin pie. Like many of Liddon’s dishes, these can be prepared ahead of time and frozen until the big day. If making them them as an entrée, treat them like you would any main and prepare to have lots of veggie sides-like classic roasted potatoes-on the table to go along with them. These stuffing-flavoured (thanks to herbs and garlic) protein bundles made with lentil s, kale and mushrooms easily eat like a main (and let’s be honest, stuffing is actually the best part of turkey dinner). Guests steering clear of bread don’t have to give up stuffing- Liddon’s gluten-free alternative is what she calls bread-free stuffing balls.
Liddon assembles hers in advance, sticks it in the fridge and then pops it in the oven right before she serves it. This crowd-pleaser-made with fragrant rosemary, mushrooms and garlicky mashed potatoes-should be smothered in vegan gravy, giving it the same savoury, comforting notes as a meat dish. As an alternative to these classics, Liddon serves a lentil shepherd’s pie. Turkey, ham or brisket usually play the starring role at holiday dinners. For a less indulgent app-which looks beautiful plated or served family-style-she opts for roasted beet and hazelnut salad. It’s made with whipped cashews, carrots, potatoes and nutritional yeast (a vegan pantry staple that’s easy to find at the grocery store). She says it’s the perfect kitchen island food-everyone can stand around (with a drink in hand) and dip tortilla chips into the zesty, creamy and warm faux-cheese sauce. Impressing guests is always key, and Liddon, who’s based out of Oakville, Ont., says you can’t fail with a big platter of her vegan chili-cheese nachos.
THE BIG SALAD OH SHE GLOWS HOW TO
She spoke to Chatelaine about how to keep diners of all stripes happy. She says plant-based diners don’t need to fear the holiday season-even if it’s filled with turkey, eggnog and other meat, dairy and egg-laden dishes.įor the uninitiated, Liddon’s uncomplicated recipes don’t skimp on flavour and have been known to please even the staunchest of meat eaters. Angela Liddon, the writer behind the Oh She Glows blog and cookbook empire, is a master of meatless meals.
