Christmas can be stressful enough as it is without realising too late that one of your guests is vegan and you’ve only got trays of turkey, ham and pigs-in-blankets to offer.
Luckily, being vegan over the holidays is much simpler in 2019, thanks to the popularity of the lifestyle and the supermarket alternatives now available.
If McDonald’s and Domino’s can go vegan, so can any Christmas dinner.
Here’s what to tuck into if you’ve trimmed turkey off the menu this year…
Sainsburys’ vegan no beef Wellington, £7
Crisp and golden, this hand-wrapped puff pastry Wellington is a parcel any vegan would be happy to open this Christmas.
Tesco’s Finest Sweet Potato and Red Cabbage Christmas Log, £10
Featuring hand-rolled paprika pastry filled with delicious layers of vegan seed stuffing, vibrant red cabbage and spiced sweet potato, and finished with a splash of festive port and sherry, this decadent centrepiece will have even non-vegans forgetting about the turkey.
Morrison’s The Best Layered Vegetable Tart, £4
Combining spicy beetroot and butternut squash chunks, cranberry and onion chutney, and finished with roasted chestnuts on top, this crunchy, hearty dish makes an appetising serving.
