Relatively Easy to cook posh dinner

I hope you have a lovely time! What do you usually make? I'd recommend something slow cooking in the oven might be the way to go so you get nice flavours. I'd recommend chicken if you're trying to keep costs down or pork. You can do a really nice chicken recipe in the oven with olives for example (https://vikalinka.com/spanish-chicken-in-bravas-sauce/) or to make this an experience you can do fresh pasta or ravioli? All you'd need is a rolling pin and a knife. Otherwise a fied rice (you can use frozen veggies) and pair with some protein that you're comfortable cooking. For bigger gatherings I like to do a small charcuterie board (one maybe two cheeses) nuts and fruits and lots of dips to serve with drinks. Anything you make after will be welcomed!

There are some really nice pasta dishes that might work for a bigger group. I always like something like fajitas for a bigger group but it might not be nice enough for what you have in mind.

A couple of roasted chickens or a roast leg of lamb?

Someone else recommended roast chicken - which is a great idea! A couple whole chickens are not that spendy, and look beautiful/posh when plated up fancy. You can do whatever other sides with it as well - rolls, potatoes, green beans, asparagus, whatever the various tastes prefer.

This is a great roast chicken recipe from my favorite recipe site:

A nice salad with baked nuts, fresh berries and the most flavorful salad makes a great side dish!

I’m currently making a south East Asian chicken stew, rather easy but takes a few hours! It’s delicious and easy to make for a bigger group.

garlic, shallots, habanero (spicy so you don’t have to add this) and ginger (cut everything finely and/or use mortar)
rendang paste
chicken (any parts are fine, I use legs)
coconut milk (200 ml)
water(250 ml)
rice
long beans (optional)

Put the first ingredients in a large pan, when it smells good add the rendang paste. Stir it, add the chicken, stir stir till it’s sealed. Add coconut milk and water. Let it simmer for 2 - 3 hours untill you like the texture. I prefer a dryer texture so I let it simmer quite a bit.

Make the rice, I love pandan rice but any rice is fine.

Ready to serve!

Title: Relatively Easy to cook posh dinner

Full text: We are going to a really nice 5 day rental that we might never be able to afford again

We are going with partners family and all having a night were its our turn to cook (other members likely to help out too)

My partner really wants to use this opportunity to cook nice food that we usually wouldn't have as a general everyday dinner

I'm skeptical because of the cost and worry we wont cook something nice so keen on hearing ideas and recipes

Any tips welcome x

I like to pick up a 7-8lb pork butt or shoulder for these kinds of occasions. My grocery store sells them for $2 a lb. Recipe

I like to do a quick and easy sauce of cream, drippings from the pork, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine, some herbs, and salt and pepper. Stewed apples or chimichurri would also pair well.

Sides can be whatever. Instant mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, salad, roasted radishes, whatever you like.

My go to is lasagna! It can even be prepped in advance, so dinner time is low stress. Check out the worlds best lasagna recipe on all recipes.com. Serve with sparkling water or lemonade, Caesar salad, fresh garlic bread :)
