I have been poring over rcipe boks and recipes on-line and I can't decide on a starter. We can't have fish or shell-fish unfortunately. I'd love someone to give me a lovel starter recipe that they have already tried and tested. I also want to avoid cheese as there will be cheese in the main course, and of course we'll have cheese board later too. Thank you for any suggestions.
I recently had a lovely starter at a wedding....which I then done at home. It was just Parma ham, baked fennel, roasted peppers and rocket. With a balsamic reduction. I also added some roasted cherry toms and mozerella. It's really yummy.
Mushrooms stuffed with pate. Cook for about 15 minutes .serve with a small salad. Contrary to Shirley Conran life is not too short to stuff a mushroom and they are delicious.
Served cold on a bit of salad, can be made in advance. We put a layer of Parma ham on the outside. Avoid mushrooms - the water comes out, and spoils the slices.
