main course
Ideas to serve as main course or entrée.
Whiskey and nut braised beef
Whiskey and nuts give an entirely different flavor and texture to this common braised beef, making it apt to dazzle the table for any celebration.
Roasted chicken with chestnut stuffing
The flavor and texture of raspberry jam and chestnuts make this roasted chicken an ideal addition to the menu for a family celebration.
Chicken parcels
Chicken breast fillets are fast and easy to cook, but they can be boring. How can make them interesting enough to share with guests in a formal meal? These chicken parcels are one of the possible answers to this question.
Loin of lamb in crust
Lamb steaks in a potato crust, a sophisticated main course for two that is easier than it looks.
Chicken chili
A dish to eat with your eyes as well, because of the great blend of colors in the ingredients. The white chicken meat and white beans make it feel light, while the red peppers and yellow corn provide the bright tones.
Lobster au gratin
Order some cooked lobster from the fish counter at your grocery store or fishmonger and set about to make it special with some extra preparation.
Squab and veal stacks
Squab is tender and appreciated in gourmet restaurants. Prepare it home and feel special.
Red mullet tarragon
Tarragon and saffron give the fish a unique and refined taste. Red mullet is delicious but has many bones, get it filleted.
Pheasant with chicory and cranberries
Something different and healthy as game birds usually have less fat than poultry raised in a farm.
Roasted wild boar with mushrooms
Something not seen on the everyday table. Wild boar does not need much to become a delicious gourmet dish. Substitute with deer, to keep the wild meat flavor, or pork, if game meats would taste too strong for your guests.
