my vegetarian menu- tell me what you think

i know 99% of you are meat eaters and prob 85% of my guests are as well

I am going to post my sample menu - its not finalized but i want to know if this stuff sounds yummy or not to the avg meat eater.

1) Eggplant Rollatini
2) Pan Seared Seitan over mushroom orzo w/ red wine sauce
3) Rissoto w/butternut squas, parsnips, cranberries & hazelnut

Side items-
Broccoli Rabe
Roasted Potatoes w/rosemary


I still have a few more to think of.

im a dumbass- its roasted potatoes not mushrooms!

Numbers 1 and 3 sound delicious since I know what they are and I'm sure number 2 is but what is seitan?

---

Seitan is a meat substitute made from wheat gluten- it takes the flavor of whatever you want it to be with the right spices- kinda looks like grilled chicken if its done right

Please add the carrots I would definitely have that with the eggplant.

Im not a big meat eater. I'm not a vegetarian either... but not far from it.

I like the entree's (mainly the eggplant rollatini). But the sides... you need more... those sides don't do much for me. I'd see those sides and wouldn't want either one.
Can you add some sort of potatoes maybe?

For some reason I see a roasted red potato in the mix with the sides??

i just fixed my OP- it was supposed to be rosemary roasted potatoes not mushrooms- I GOT SHROOMS ON THE BRAIN.

and Seitan is a meat substitute- it takes on the flavors of whatever you cook it with.- like tofu

is there some sort of pasta to go with all this? like an app??

idk i would get the eggplant... FH on the other hand probably wouldnt eat, but that is him

yes there is a pasta & salad app before-hand


And no meat at all- FH is vegan and I am vegetarian- against our beliefs to eat meat and/or serve it

and BTW....we have the viennese hour as well so whoever doesnt eat can fill up on cotton candy, caramel apples and everything else to rot their teeth!
