Vegan Thanksgiving

Had my Thanksgiving dinner today at Millennium. Avoided all of the turkey festivities locally. And, given it is a day of eating meat and watching football, traveling around the country never really appealed to me.

So, here was the menu (I chose the salad over a soup, the mushroom torte over a roasted squash, and the pumpkin dessert over a chocolate one):

Cornucopia Medley
Wild mushroom pate, winter vegetable terrine, Fuyu persimmon and mint relish, root vegetable caponata, and a roasted chestnut.

Salad
Baby spinach and winter greens, satsuma mandarins, shaved beets, fennel, sweet sesame vinaigrette, and spiced macadamia nuts.

Entree: Wild Mushroom Torte
Marinated seitan, portobello and wild mushrooms, tender yuba, crisp pastry crust, custard of truffled Yukon gold potato and porcini mushroom gravy, served with maple-pecan roasted yams, roasted shallot brassica vegetable medley and cranberry-pear relish.

Dessert
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with pomegranate reduction
