Christmas veg

bigfatpig

I feel so boring:(

Only me and DH, who doesn't really do veggies, which is annoying as I'm a vegetarian so obviously I do!

He will only have peas with 1 roast parsnip and 1 sprout (under great duress).

I have roast parsnips/carrots/sprouts/butternut squash/aubergine with my lovely quorn roast :j

Roast potatoes of course and peas. Always do some sprouts boiled and some roasted as love both...in fact I just looove sprouts however they are. And yes I know I'm strange :rotfl:

We don't have all the fancy stuff, just good old roast potatoes, roast parsnips, peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans.... and I think that's it! I love boiled veg, piled high, with loads of gravy and cranberry sauce! (and obviously turkey and stuffing and bacon wrapped sausages!)

Roast potatoes
Brocolli
Cauliflower - not with cheese!
Roast parsnips
Leeks cooked in cream
Carrots and swede
Brussel sprouts
Think that's it

Cheapskate

Potatoes - few roast and a few homegrown (hopefully!) just boiled with parsley butter on
Carrots & swede
Parsnips for DS
Sprouts - even the littlies like 'em! - steamed with a bit of nutmeg, then chopped crispy bacon added
Then just the trimmings like stuffing, pigs in blankets (sausages in freezer, just need to buy bacon)

I did an early Christmas dinner on Sunday and we had:
roast potatoes
roast maple glazed parsnips
baby carrots
green beans
leeks
brussels sprouts fried with pancetta and pine nuts
braised red cabbage (cooked with onion, apple, spices etc - adaptation of Delia's recipe)

It was YUMMY!

Actual Christmas dinner will be at my mum's house and not sure what the veg will be - probably the roast potatoes, parsnips, brussels, carrots, peas, broccoli or something.

We'll be having:
roast potatoes with garlic, rosemary and thyme
roasted parsnips and sweet potatoes with nutmeg
carrots cooked in a minimal amount of water, a slice of butter and a sprinkling of sugar
carrot and swede mash
steamed celeriac, brocolli, cauli, sprouts with chestnuts
peas

I *think* that's all. I'm getting hungry now. :rotfl:

I always do loads of veg then on Boxing day have it all mixed up and fried with cold meats and pickle ... oh my! I think I like my
Boxing Day dinner better than Christmas day..
