Vegan menu ideas for skeptical non-vegans?

[corporatepiracy]

Hi everyone. I did look over the memories, but I'm really not even sure where to start. I have no idea what I'd like to use as a base or what I'd like to incorporate. I guess I'm looking for things that you all have made in the past that have wowed your guests/family/whatever

Yep. In my head I went "spicy = Indian food"! Plus, then you can have a few different dishes and bread! Mmm, bread!

Curry is, of course, the fall-back option. I've made curries for them two or three times now and it's kind of.. predictable. I guess I was hoping for something else.

I may try to replicate a dinner my friends made for me a long time ago -- tiny towers of polenta and grilled mushrooms with a homemade pesto sauce.

Perhaps an Indian dish other than a curry (which is more British than Indian, as an aside) -- Basmati rice with turmeric and Cumin and a red lentil or yellow split pea dal maybe?

if you check blog.fatfreevegan.com I know for a fact she's done stacks of grilled eggplant, and i'm pretty certain she's done something with polenta. for future reference or whatever.
