FabSwingers.com forum: Eating veggie in a field.

I've got more catering gigs coming up (mostly under an old army tent, walking on a palletted floor with gas bottled supplied burners of dubious capacity and an oven that gets tired) and I stick to vegetarian/vegan meals.

I have a few good standby recipes that always go down extremely well and my ability to make something gorgeous from nothing is legendary (sweet potato and peanut bake anyone) but what would you like to see on the menu?

Roast potatoes. Whilst at Uni I would live off them.

Failing that got to go with Tamarin Squash and Halloumi on a skewers.

I can't give them a plate of roasties! I won't have the time to skewer and cook anything, it will need to be trays or big saucepans of food.

Funnily enough, both potentials but pretty standard, I'd love to pull something out of the bag.

Just frozen. But I've just reread your OP. Sweet potato and peanut sounds bloody lovely!

Moroccan Stew with chickpeas.

Does not float my boat but I'm reliably informed it's nice and can be made by the ton.

Sweet potato falafels with a spicy tomato sauce. Falafels easy to make in bulk. Tomato sauce easy to make in bulk. Cook falafels in the oven in batches. Serve on a flatbread covered with coriander and a handful of salad ..... I'd part with £8 fir that (about the usual for decent fair at a festival)

Although tent buddies may have a wind problem

Vegetable skewers are still a bit boring and predictable though and a faff to cook, even in the oven.
