Hiya. Can anybody help me with some veggie dinner party (hate that term but that’s what it is) menu ideas?
There’ll be six of us on Saturday. I have a nice open plan kitchen so don’t mind doing some stuff last minute but ideally it would be mostly in advance and just finishing dishes and plating stuff.
It would be nice to use some produce from my garden - I have:
Some pretty epic winter squash
Courgette
Tomatillo
Chilli
Green beans
Kohl Rabi
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Spring onions
Fresh eggs
So far I have thought of using the squash either in a kind of loose / open lasagna (handmade pasta, sans bechamel, feel I’ve read good recipes but can’t put my finger on one) or risotto with fried sage garnish.
But it’s just struck me that a Mexican vibe could work.... some kind of roast squash fajitas/burritos with tomatillo salsa ... kohl rabi slaw. not very elegant but then it’s a relaxed affair with friends
Any starter ideas?
For pud I am planning a scratch made trifle with a stewed plum base. I made it last week to rave reception so feels good to have it in the back pocket.
