I usually make the congregational kosher meat dish, but this week I need to make the vegan dish. I need to make a recipe that can be pre-cooked 36 hours ahead) and then warmed up in an electric roaster. It should serve 50-75 or so at a potluck-type meal. I have some past vegetarian experience and a Moosewood cookbook or two, but I need a vegan recipe recommendation for a MN/WI hotdish crowd. I am super busy this week, but I don't want to make pasta....

Other allergy foods to avoid: wheat, soy, and nuts.

Thanks,
Tami

It's a little more complicated than I would have chosen, but maybe I can find a ready made herb blend that would work. Meanwhile, my husband hates chickpeas, but that's ok, he can eat from the other dishes.

Thanks,

Couscous aux sept legumes, but served over quinoa rather than couscous, which is wheat.  These recipes should be easy to double and triple and quadruple for a larger crowd.

Here's one recipe:

http://www.somethingaboutapony.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=367&mid=3843#M3843

and here's another:

 

Seven-Vegetable Couscous
From Food Network Kitchens

Seven-Vegetable Stew:
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 small turnips, peeled and quartered
1 medium yellow onion, quartered lengthwise, root end intact
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 fennel bulb, thickly sliced lengthwise, root end intact
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon peeled, chopped, fresh ginger
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons each ground cumin, paprika, and sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cinnamon stick, snapped in half
2 cups water
1 pound butternut squash
1 small zucchini, cut into 2-inch rounds
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, tied together with kitchen string
1 cup canned whole peeled tomatoes, with their juices

Couscous:
2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Harissa (Tunisian hot sauce)

For the stew: Put the garlic, turnips, onion, carrot, fennel, raisins, ginger, salt, cumin, paprika, sugar, turmeric, cloves, and cinnamon in a large soup pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the vegetables are somewhat soft, about 10 minutes. Halve and seed the butternut squash and cut it into wedges. Tie parsley sprigs together with kitchen string. Add squash, zucchini, chickpeas, and parsley sprigs to the pot. Using your fingers and working over the pot, tear the tomatoes into big pieces and add them to the pot with their juices. Simmer the stew, covered, until it is slightly thick and fragrant, and the vegetables are fork tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. (You can test the vegetables a bit sooner, remove them as soon as they are tender, and return them to the pot when you are ready to serve. All the vegetables should be tender enough to cut with the side of a fork, but still hold their shapes.) Remove cinnamon sticks.

For the couscous: Bring water to a boil with the butter and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in the couscous, pull the saucepan off the heat, cover, and set aside until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is plump, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and fluff with a fork.

To serve, spread the couscous over a large serving platter and, using a slotted spoon, mound the vegetables in the center. Pour some of the broth over the vegetables and sprinkle with the almonds. Pass the remaining broth and the harissa, if desired, at the
table.
