Tomorrow we have our themed monthly family dinner: "Florida" this month. Main dish will be Cuban sandwiches with sliced pork & ham. Sides are a citrus slaw & a fruit plate. Dessert is a frozen key lime pie (plus a chocolate cake for a young birthday girl). I forgot I'd signed up to do an appetizer, and was reminded today! SOS.
I'm a good cook, but not very good at deep frying. Dish must be prepped/cooked at my home, and travel only a 10 min drive.
Criteria: - Goes well/ok with wine and/or beer
-
Light in Flavors (ok if calorie-rich)
-
Not a cheese plate (we do that too often)
-
Not a salsa & chips
-
Not guac (we do that all the time)
-
Not pork (main is pork-heavy)
-
Room temp or oven warmed ok
-
Shrimp might be nice
-
Not bread-heavy? (main is a sandwich)
-
Bit time intensive prep/bake ok
-
Expenisive/"exotic" ingredients ok
-
Adventurous/Fusion ok
Thanks again :-)
bon appetit
