I like mushrooms but the red pepper sauce seems a little odd with them, but it would be great on grilled halloumi or over a marinated crispy baked tofu.

I am a lifelong vegetarian and although I enjoy mushrooms as an ingredient, I wouldn’t consider mushrooms alone to be the same thing as a vegetarian entree. I agree with a former poster that this trope of vegetarians relishing the idea of feasting on a grilled mushroom is a myth.
Some entrée ideas:
Sautéed wild mushrooms over polenta
Marry me beans (many recipes online) with grilled sourdough
Lentil stew (can add veggies, veggie sausage etc)
Vegetable pot au feu

Just also want to say how thoughtful you sound - and I'm sure your guests will really appreciate you being so considerate.
