Hello Nicole,
Our Oven-Poached Salmon with Thyme, Dill and Vermouth would be a wonderful main dish for a pescatarian Thanksgiving, it would serve a crowd and is versatile enough to build a full meal around. We also have a variety of delicious steamed fish recipes that you could check out on our website.
For a vegetarian main, we have a several roasted whole cauliflower recipes, including this Chermoula-Roasted Whole Cauliflower, on our website as well as an elegant Butter-Roasted Cabbage with Citrus, Hazelnuts and Mustard. You could also put this stunning Zucchini and Chickpea Salad with Tahini Yogurt at the center of a meal. Another option is to build a meal around a hearty soup, one of my favorites is Chickpea and Harissa Soup (Lablabi). You could use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth and omit the hard-boiled egg garnish. This Spicy Peanut and Vegetable Stew is another great option. We also have braised and roasted vegetable dishes like the Ligurian Potato, Green Bean and Mushroom Gratin.
These are just a handful of the possibilities you have to choose from. Look around on our website and books for more ideas.
Best wishes for a happy holiday!
