Emergency Vegan HELP!

We had the lentil dish! It went well (I think... I had mine with some camenbert on top
).TBH I'd just consider it good manners to cook a guest something they would enjoy eating. Vegan or not.

Surely if you invite someone round for food you want them to at the very least be able to eat it, and i'd assume you'd want them to enjoy it
Glad the meal went well, I never did the whole lentils and cheese thang (and now I'm a carrot munching freak so it's too late
), it sounds a bit odd to me

Doubt it. Fucking yoghurt knitter probably doesn't have the strength to lift a pan. Vegans... fuck off!

Probably too late now, but potato curry is piss-easy to make, completely vegan (as long as you use sunflower/veg/corn oil rather than butter/ghee), very tasty, and also extremely cheap - you can bung in some chickpeas or lentils or various other vegetables whatever takes your fancy really.
Ratatouille is also a good standby, I'm not a huge fan myself but the other half loves it so I make it frequently (the upside IMO is that any leftovers actually make a great base for a vegetable curry!)

Jesus wept, it's a dietary choice and not anyone elses business. Is there really nothing better to get worked up over?

Err... you do realise I wasn't being entirely serious, don't you?

Oi Athos, read the posting rules for suburban, whether it's a poor joke or serious, I don't like it 
Cook pasta, get some good olive oil, a bit of chilli, chopped parsley or some other nice herbage and some finely minced, squoozed or smashed garlic and mix. Delish.

You don't need protein in every meal!PROTEIN

every meal should be balanced so ideally there should be some
besides, vegans are proteinally challenged as it is... you wouldnt cook just steak for if you were cooking a meal for meat eaters would you.

For a one off, if I wasn't even that sure about what to balance with what, I'd just take a stab and make something tasty. Although just brushetta on its own is a bit of a lacking meal - put some tomato/mushroom/pasta dish down there as well and that's a treat.
Eat a packet of peanuts as a starter if you want protein

I'll meet you further on up the road
this is really nice (for future vegan emergencies) I;ve just made it
put a pinch of saffron in 3 tables spoons hot water
fry a leek in oil five mins then cast aside for a bit
fry a chopped onion in same pan for a bit
add four cloves garlic chopped, pinch salt, 3 table spoons ground cumin and swish around - add a little bit of the saffron water and cook for 4 mins or so
add chopped carrots for a few mins then add chopped courgette
add tin toms - break up on entry, a tin of chickpeas (i only had butter beans tonight or add some you cook up yourself) the saffron and water and a bit of veg stock and a sprinkle of chilli powder and handful or more of dried fruit - rasins or apricots
simmer for 10 mins
in the meantime make cous cous
when veg is soft add the leek
serve with cous cous and chopped parsley
Its lovely and vegan (Nadine Abensur receipe)
