[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your whole meal sounds lovely. It also kind of sounds to me like with a slight reconfiguration, what you have is a lot of grilled/roasted vegetables (including portobello) and some roasted chicken, with a roasted red pepper sauce for all of them. It's not separate dishes so much as the people who want chicken can add chicken.

I make a couscous side that sounds similar but includes chickpeas for extra protein, FWIW, and based on this thread, I'm pretty sure this is what we're gonna have for dinner here too![/quote]

I'm the PP, and I'm a vegetarian who actually wouldn't take the mushroom substitution because I just don't like mushrooms. I would probably take a couple (sliced and grilled) in a medley with other vegetables to be polite, but it's a bit of a misconception that all vegetarians like mushrooms. I would also, FWIW, be totally happy to make a meal out of the sides as long as there were enough sides to go around for everyone.[/quote]

I hear you! Without pre-polling my guests (which I won’t do), I won’t know preferences, of course, just like there may be a meat eater at the table who doesn’t like chicken. That’s why I am beefing up the sides with some protein, will add avocado to the salad, etc. Like a PP above nicely encapsulated, I’m trying to have a variety of items so everyone’s tastes are satisfied, but I just don’t want the vegetarians to feel they are after-thoughts. Hopefully you’d be fine at this meal, but please feel free to suggest alternatives!

(Along those lines, I will add chick peas, thanks, PP above!) [/quote]
