Top 5 meat free products for festive menus
Planning a festive menu wouldn’t be complete without those all-important meat free Christmas products. Consumers are continuing to eat less meat and therefore the meat free market has naturally grown.

This Christmas, we have plenty of delicious vegetarian and vegan menu must-haves and we’ve highlighted a few of them below.

 

meat free Christmas products - amuse bouches

 

Up first, we have our vegetarian Taiteur de Paris rivoli amuse-bouches (41572) – a decadent selection of four canapé varieties.

These mouth-watering bites include: 12 butternut squash, Emmental and onion mini cakes, topped with pumpkin seeds; 12 PDO Comte and béchamel in a petit choux; 12 rosti with spinach, cream and then finished with a grilled artichoke, and finally, 12 mini croquets with tomato coulis, mozzarella, rocket complete with a basil pesto drizzle.

Perfect for any buffet selection or Christmas catering event.

We then have our vegan Little & Cull butternut squash and caramelised onion tart in beetroot pastry (41554), this tart is truly special. It has all the flavours and textures you could desire – a light shortcrust pastry, filled with butternut squash, caramelised onions, spinach and then topped with a quinoa and mixed seed crumb – delicious!

It is the perfect vegan starter or lunch time menu option and pairs nicely with a simple side salad.
