Vegan potluck recipe ideas?

Hey all,





I will be attending a pot luck where at least 15 guests will be vegans. My plan is to bring one dish that is vegan friendly, and one for everyone else to enjoy. Any suggestions for a vegan recipe that serves many?Vegan potluck recipe ideas?
An easy one--Vegan Shephard's Pie.


chop up two large onions and about three cloves of chopped garlic, and sautee them in a large(very large) pan with olive oil.


Add about 16 ounces of chopped fresh cremini mushrooms.


When the mushrooms get all watery, add about a package and a half of Boca frozen meat crumbles(Must be Boca, MorningStar Farms' is NOT vegan).


Add a bunch of dried thyme, some ground coriander, and then put in as many frozen peas and corn and carrots as you like.


Add about 3-4 cups of vegetable broth that has been mixed with about a half cup of flour, and simmer.


meanwhile, make a bunch of mashed potatoes (potato flakes work fine).


Once the ';beef'; mixture is a bit thicker, pour it into two casserole dishes.


Cover the mixture with the mashed potatoes, and bake for about 25 minutes or until the mashed potatoes are just turning golden.





I promise you it's delish!!Vegan potluck recipe ideas?
Enjoy the wholesome goodness of my world famous Carrot salad with dill:





Ingredients:





1 pound wholesome carrots


1 tablespoon lemon juice


1 tablespoon olive oil


1 teaspoon sugar


2 tablespoons fresh dill


salt and pepper to taste





Directions:





Clean and wash wholesome carrots. With a vegetable peeler remove long strips of wholesome carrot and place in bowl. Rough chop dill and add to wholesome carrots. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for approximately 45 minutes then serve.
It's wonderful and delicious to bring a big garden salad with a myriad of colorful veggies, but if you want to be even more kind, bring something vegans love to eat but never get unless another vegan makes it.





I don't know about other vegans, but I crave comfort foods - casseroles and such.





VeganYumYum.com is a great source of dinner party friendly meals.
