Going away with friends (separate lodges) and we have agreed to each prepare two nights meals to give us each two nights off!
One of my two nights I'm going to do an antipasti extravaganza of meats/cheeses/veggies/breads/dips/prawns and some tapas style warm dishes to graze at but the other night I'm not sure what to do.
It's actually for the first night so I can prep at home and take with me but have the time to cook there as well as we will have plenty of time. It's a 2 hour drive so can keep things reasonably cold.
I did want to go Greek with humous/tzatziki/pitta/spinach pie starter and then pre make a moussaka and serve with salad for main but I've just found out one of them doesn't like aubergine (sob)
All meat eaters - 1 no fish so I need to avoid that (except prawns and white fish apparently) and no beetroot, lentils or now aubergines sadly No allergies or anything.
We've stayed there before and there is a decent oven and reasonable kitchen equipment plus I have space to take some things.
I have all day the day before going to prep and at least 1hr 30 on the night before they arrive.
I can't do curries as we have different spice preferences to them.
They are doing Mexican and Roast chicken on their nights. I know that they are good cooks and foodies so I want to do something that's delicious but achievable away from home.
Just feeding 4 adults - what would you do?
Thank you in advance!
