I'd be inclined to say that meal times have been enough of a battle already and that maybe you should give her a bit of both, what she likes and what is new, or perhaps going to be problematic. Offer her both on the same plate and praise her if she tries or eats the disliked food. By doing that you should be able to avoid offering a substitute meal if the one she is offered isn't eaten as that could quickly become a habit.
If you are all sitting down together to meals then let her try food off your plate if she shows any interest. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly my little fella will eat my dinner some days and not his own, even when it's the same thing.
