I’ve just found out that I am hosting Xmas dinner this year. Only 5 of us so not too big a deal. But I need to come up with a starter, any good ideas??
You’re not too well, snow, so be kind to yourself and make it as easy as possible. Either go for Margo’s suggestion or do prawn cocktail - either can be pre-prepared and left in the fridge. In your situation I wouldn’t flaff about with recipes. Your guests will enjoy it just as much.
M&S do some amazing pre prepared starters and veg, so be kind to yourself.
You can also order online so it just needs collecting from your local store at a time that suits you
Actually, you can blitz smoked salmon in the mini chopper with Philadelphia, a squeeze of lemon, rock salt and black pepper and fresh dill. Takes seconds and can be served with melba toast. Absolutely delicious!
You could also do the same thing with tinned mackerel instead or as well as.
We're having quite a late house-warming at the beginning of December now that the inside of the house is practically finished and I'll be serving my own homemade pate that night.
