Vegetarian Entree - What Would You Pick?

Britt0412

Hi guys!

I'm working on invitations at the moment, which means I also need to pick a menu!  We have decided to do a dual-plated main entree of filet and arctic char. We also want to offer a vegetarian option, and I'm trying to decide what would be the most appealing.

Mushroom, tomato and goat cheese tartlet with balsamic reduction and micro greens

Layered artichoke ratatouille

Red Wine Wild mushroom risotto

Vegetarian pesto lasagna

Stuffed Shells with marinara or creamy pesto sauce

Wild Mushroom Risotto – wild mushrooms and truffle oil in creamy Arborio rice


We are thinking we'd like to go with the wild mushroom risotto, but I'd love to hear your opinions.

Thanks!

I would do the Wild Mushroom Risotto or the Vegetarian pesto lasagna b/c these would be widely appealling to the masses.  However, I think the Risotto works more with what I assume is the atmosphere of your wedding from the other menu choices.

Agree with MD and Lilywater!

I'm a vegetarian and a huge goat cheese lover so I would have picked that but I'm unsure how filling it would be. Either of the pasta dishes would definitely be filling but that wild mushroom risotti probably would be too! Yum!

Stuffed Shells with marinara or creamy pesto sauce is def. a safe pick but I looooove Risotto ( if its made right).  Good luck picking.. all sound super yummy!

Thank you SO much for your thoughts, everyone! It's great to get some additional perspectives.

I thought the goat cheese tart sounded amazing, but I was wondering if that would be substantial enough. I think we'll probably go with the pesto lasagna or wild mushroom risotto.

I say mushroom risotto or the tartlet. I'm not a big lasagna person though so....Good luck!
