What would be the perfect menu for dinner guests, keeping in mind that...?
It is not proper to try new recipies at an event like that, nor is it proper to serve exotic dishes as it is not the proper time to "force" people to try soemthing they are not familiar with. Your suggestions, please, thank you.
Answers:
That depends on what you regard as a new recipe and what restrictions your guests have. For instance if your guests are vegetarians, you could make a vegetable lasagna.
If they are not, you could bread boneless, skinless chicken breasts (salt and pepper the breasts, dip in flour shaking off excess, dip in beaten eggs making sure to cover the flour, then dip in bread crumbs) and saute them in a mixture of olive and butter for about 5 minutes per side or until juices run clear and there's no pink inside. Then top each breast with spinach (if fresh, remove large stems, chop & wash then saute it in butter and add some salt and pepper; if frozen, thaw, squeeze moisture out and saute and season) and then add a slice of provolone cheese or mozzarella to the top. Pop that in the oven until the cheese is melted. This could be served with fettucine alfredo (or your choice of pasta with alfredo sauce or even buttered noodles), a salad and a loaf of bread.
An alternative to the spinach chicken would be to make breaded chicken parmesan (the same as above, but merely adding the cheese to the top and melting, then topping with sauce). Serve that with any type of pasta and the remaining sauce.
There are many other things that could be served depending on your taste and your guests' tastes. You could serve crab cakes with a vegetable medley. You could have a grilled, fresh fish or grilled & marinated chicken breasts with vegetables. You could serve a pot roast or roast beef with vegetables. You could roast a chicken and serve that with vegetables.
Whatever you decide upon, I wish you success.
