Christmas starters

[meepmoop]

Hello!

I'm looking for some easy starter ideas that don't involve seafood or pate. The only thing I can think of is soup but I don't really want to do a soup.

Thank you

Beetroot and orange salad topped with warmed goats cheese always a fave with us

I love a tray with nice meat, cheese, olives and some bread to pick at so can have as much or little as people want.

Parma ham and melon?

I normally google Christmas menus in local restaurants for ideas

Googling local menus is a great idea! Definitely doing that.

Baked Camembert?

Caramelised onion goats cheese tarts www.wildeorchard.co.uk/caramelised-onion-goats-cheese-tart/

I know not Christmasy but were having these served like canapes in the living room

Ricekrispie22 oh why did you show me those am going to have to make some of those now.......might do mini ones for the cheese board.

Ooh that sounds lovely!

Beetroot and orange salad!! Any particular recipe?

Sorry for not getting back sooner. No real recipie, but arrange slices of beetroot and orange segments on a plate with a bit of rocket/other greenery, top with goats cheese and walnuts if you fancy. Serve some dressing on the side. Simple!

Mozzarella and figs with walnuts.

Smoked fish trio with a side of smoked mackerel pate and toasted sour dough.

Poached egg and asparagus with a Hollandaise sauce

Mussels with crusty white bread (the supermarket ones in the microwave are fine)
