Ask her to bring her own and then cook it herself! Then you get off scot free if she doesn't like it

What can I put with the couscous and roasted carrots?

If you tell me if you are using plain couscous or one flavoured in a packet-what it is, plus whether you like zesty or warm flavours I can try pop a quick dish of what I personally would do? I adore cous cous, so tend to make a lot of variations Also how many adults

Nutroast.

My mum used to do it for my sisters friend who would not eat meat or anything pretending to be meat! She used a Delia recipy and it always went down well.

Before I knew she was a veggie I was planning to do Turkey Mince Koftas with fresh coriander and couscous plus roasted carrots so what alternatives can I give her that fit in with that meal?

staceysteve are you saying that you want an alternative to the koftas as you wish to use couscous and carrots?

Tesco do really nice mushroom burgers (in their cool cabinets) which would probably go well with that.

Griddle pan some large slices of aubergine in olive oil, or roast them with the carrots.

Is she a veggie or vegan? If she is eating cheese still, grill or fry some halloumi and serve with what you were going to serve.

Roast some other veggies with your carrots (onions, peppers etc)?

This is what my veggie friend would serve, but she would also put out mixed salad, taboulleh, pitta breads, houmous etc so we all end up stuffing ourselves on the veggie options and don't notice there is no meat!!
