It has to be relatively easy (not too much last minute work) and not too expensive.
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. |
I'd go with the slow cooker. It's only one pot to clean and you can get away with cheaper cuts of meat. A little thought to the presentation is all you need.
