Dinner Party Ideas

[NeoUser]

I have 3 friends coming round, 2 of which are trying to put their type 2 in remission and the other who successfully has. What shall I cook? They eat anything and everything! What's your go to dinner party menu?

I once unknowngly invited 3 couples + ourselves of course. I then discovered that one chap would only eat meat and chips, there was 1 vegan + a vegetarian and a gluten free person. I made a curry buffet to which they helped themselves, so there was something that everyone could eat and the meat and chips bloke got exactly that! Steak and chips.

But.... how about gaspacho to start? Then perhaps https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/stuffed-pork-fillet-with-creamed-butter-beans/ @ 21.76 carbs, followed by strawberries dipped in chocolate.

I do a version of this https://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/greek-stuffed-chicken-breasts/

But I use green olives and make a wine and mushroom gravy to pour over it. Add some green veg or some salad.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/flash-fried-prawns-chilli-lemon-parsley I have done this starter a lot and it goes down well and no carbs. So now a main course. just one chicken breast one person. Cut a slit in the thick part and push in a slice of blue cheese. Wrap it in some proscuito or similar and brush with oil. Pop in the oven for 20 mins.

Dessert I have a recipe for chocolagte cups. I will trfy to find it as it is very low carb

Thank you for your suggestions @Pattidevans and @Dishevelled. I like the idea of the prawns to start! Chocolate always goes down a treat so if you do find that recipe for chocolate cups as I’m intrigued
