I'm hosting my in-laws, 3 other couples (2 that are their friends and my parents), dh and I, and our 3 kids for my fil's birthday tonight. I am struggling with an additional menu item.
We are doing raclette. I have potatoes, bread, and cheese for that. Then for grilling on top, we have filet, chicken, and shrimp. We will also be grilling lobster tails.
We have 4 people that don't eat red meat - of those - 2 that don't eat chicken but will eat seafood, 2 that eat seafood but not chicken.
We also have one person that is gluten-free and another that is low carb (me - gestational diabetes - not as concerned about me I'll figure it out).
My mil is bringing a salad and a side cucumber dish.
I feel like I need some sort of vegetarian entree. Any suggestions??

Can you just grill vegetables too? You could do them before the meat to prevent meat from crossing into the veggies.
You could also make some sort of warm quinoa salad that includes beans to provide more protein. Lots of recipes on the web. 😃

I think you have enough, but how about a cookie sheet of roasted red peppers? Whenever I serve them they disappear. I just slice the peppers into 1 inch or so strips from top to bottom of the pepper (remove stems and seeds). Place on foil covered and PAM sprayed cookie sheet, drizzle generously with Balsamic vinegar and bake in 400 degree oven until they are a little charred on edges and peppers are limp.
You could also grill the large portabella mushrooms and then slice them up so everyone could have some, but not a whole one.

I have a bag of those mini sweet bell peppers from costco. Thank you!

I wouldn't try to find anything else for a dinner that is tonight. I'm a vegetarian and I would be happy with what you have already - a baked potato and a salad would be perfect.

Do they eat tofu? Extra firm tofu can be sliced and grilled like chicken.

You could offer eggs. They can be cooked in the little trays.
