Just like for most of us, having guests at home is both fun
and a challenge. Of course it’s nice to treat your friends from time to time with
tasty homemade food! However, sometimes this can turn out to be quite exhausting…
Not knowing what to cook or how to cook it is probably one of the most common concerns people have. With today’s
three-course menu ideas you will definitely forget about any worries, though. Let’s get this party started!
We think that it would be great to offer you a menu that consists of three meals, all of which are made with wine. So, here’s how it goes:
- Piquant Shrimp with wine and beer (appetizer)
Products:
1.2-1.5kg shrimp, frozen
60-70g butter
2tbsp dry seasoning mix
100ml beer
100ml white wine
1tsp red pepper powder
First of all, make clear that the shrimps are semi-frozen for this specific recipe. So, fill a deep pot with salted water and put to boil. After that, add the seafood for about a minute or so. Take the shrimps out and let them drain away from the water.
Use a large baking tin to melt one third of the butter inside. When heated, add the shrimps and fry for around 2 min on each side. When they are all ready, add the seasoning and mix well.
In the meantime, combine the drinks and pour over the shrimps. Cook at lower heat after you add the red pepper powder. Let it simmer for up to 5 minutes.
And the piquant shrimps are
ready to stun everyone! Serve this amazing appetizer while still hot.
- Veal with red wine (main course)
Products:
1kg veal
225g bacon, cured
4x garlic cloves
Red wine, bottle
2x onions
2x carrots
Parsley
2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper
Himalayan salt
Start by cubing the meat. Be sure to make the cuts deep enough so you can put bacon, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper inside.
„Stitch” using any kind of spits.
Then preheat the EVOO and fry the veal on each side. Take the spits out. Do not throw the cooked grease away! Transfer it to a deeper pot and put the chopped vegetables as well as the wine there. In the end, add the meat to combine everything. Let it cook until the liquid reduces a bit.
Cover and steam for about 3 hours cooking at very low heat. If necessary, add more water every now and then. Season with Himalayan salt and black pepper and serve.
This simple, but time-taking recipe is definitely worth it as it will most likely make everyone site and glad!
- Wine cream (dessert)
Products:
4x eggs
250g sugar
1 pinch of salt
250ml white wine
1x lemon
250ml water
40g flour
1x orange
Cook the eggs, sugar, the salt, wine and ½ tsp of lemon zest using a water bath (optional – on low heat).
Meanwhile put the water to boil and add the flour. Take it off the hob and mix with lemon and orange juice. In the end, combine this mixture with the egg one by stirring all the time.
Take small bowls, rinse them with water and pour the creamy mixture inside.
Let the cream chill at room temperature or in the fridge, then turn it upside down over a plate and garnish with some marmalade and fresh fruits.
TIP: In case you don’t want to use orange juice, you can replace it for a cup of rum or brandy.
