I was thinking
- slow cooker (perhaps beef a la beuf bourgignon) - means little last minute work
- de Puy lentils (two of them have never eaten lentils, but I think they'd like to try) - but how? Warm, cold, salad?
- vegetables - finally there's locally grown fresh vegetables available and it would be a shame not include some - and everyone loves new potatoes.
Oh, and light of the starchy food. |
Lentils and new potatoes are the two most important ingredients in
VR's killer lentil soup. And it only takes about an hour to cook after you cut up the the veggies, which can be done in advance. It will make a big pot for lots of people. But it may be just a bit more effort than you want to spend. Also, it's hot which may or may not be a great idea for a summer meal for you.
