4ofus Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 My kids' music school is having an around the world potluck dinner/music showcase. Recommendations for easy dishes to take. I'm kind of a lazy cook when it comes to new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Fishes? Or do you mean dishes? It's an important distinction :D ETA: Yum! http://www.food.com/recipe/traditional-english-cheddar-cauliflower-cheese-gratin-216237 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofus Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Haha! I fat fingered it on my tiny phone :). Definitely dishes :). I'll edit it once I get home. The phone is entirely too challenging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Oldest DD recently had a Welsh day at a group she attends, and we came across some yummy recipes. Leeks are prominent :lol: There was one in particular that I'll see if I can find. We ended up making Welsh cakes (as did half the class), and OMW, they were so yummy we could not stop eating them. You probably need a main course, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Indo-Pakistani food. fry onions, add spices, add veggies or meat (or both), serve with plain rice (salted, but not salty). takes about a half hour to cook. Buy the box of already mixed spices at your local halal/zabiha store or indian grocery. http://store.patelbros.com/shan-1/?sort=featured&page=1 I'd warn you to use only about half or 3/4 of the spice mix for the full recipe, especially for kids :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Trying to think of easy things... Make an asian noodle/vege dish could be side for some or main dish for non-meat eaters. you can even buy premade sauces so no buying like 5 bottles just for one dish. Chinese creamy corn soup (super easy, my favorite recipe is on allrecipes.com) German potato salad (main work here is just boiling the potatoes) Do you have an Asian market nearby? You could make a tropical fruit salad using exotic fruits. Mine near here has these awesome yellow kiwi... Italian could be easy (and might be overdone since it is so easy) Do you have a food processor? You could make kafta meatballs (ground meat (lamb is preferred, but beef works), parsley, white onion, allspice, salt, dash ground coriander, white pepper, puree all together in the processor. The processor ensures that the onion and parsley are super fine. Roll into small balls and sear in a hot pan, then bake a few minutes. Then in a blender make a sauce using plain yogurt, dried mint and finely minced cucumber.) Mini Apple pies (for american) Or mini meatloaves and mash potato casserole (mash potatoes plus sour cream and cheeses, bake till crispy brown on top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticmom Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 You could make a vegetable and pita chip tray with hummus and baba ganoush dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnia Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was thinking hummus, too. Sometimes, to an international potluck we go to, I take fried chicken and biscuits. Hey, someone has to represent the US, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
