Ok, so, every year I have me a nice holiday party for Yule.
While I'm not, I have several friends who are vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian etc. and a few people who have lactose intolerance. These friends attend my party of course.
Every year I make one or two meat main courses and a vegan or lacto vegetarian main course to account for these people. But I'm looking for new ones because there's only so many variations on squash and mushrooms you can do. So I'm looking for your favorite recipe! The ABSOLUTE requirements are;
Made with whole foods, not meat-ish plants like a tofurkey. Not that tofu is a problem, but like veggie bacons and vegan cheese and such are. So no fake meats/plants trying to take the place of meats/cheeses/etc.
A good protein source like mushrooms or nuts or both. Or beans, etc. (This is why tofu is fine)
Very holiday centerpiece! A bowl of soup isn't a very good centerpiece, roast carrots aren't a very good main dish, etc.
Heckin tastes good.
So some examples of things I've done in the past!

And a curried version of the mushrooms.
You can see I'm in a bit of a squash-mushroom-nut.... Rut. So I would value your input! Please share your fancy holiday main dishes (vegetarian and lactose free are a must) that I can steal for my holiday! Thanks! I appreciate your input!
