Between the renewal of the flooring of your terrace or the development of an outdoor kitchen... the transformation of your garden into a pleasant place to live is finally over. To celebrate the event, you will soon be giving your very first meal there. Try these two types of buffets.
One way to take advantage of garden chairs and furniture is to invite your guests to sit down together for lunch. And why not theme it around an Asian menu? You will surprise them with the exotic food you serve them. Put the dishes in the big ones and surprise your guests with a buffet rich in flavors, but above all in freshness. In addition, contrary to many popular beliefs, Asian recipes are very easy to follow. You just need to have the necessary ingredients.
Salad of marinated beef, Chinese cabbage, prawns and black mushrooms… There is no shortage of delicious salad recipes. Cucumbers are one of the star raw vegetables of the summer. Instead of dressing them with the usual classic dressing, instead prepare a sauce based on lime, yuzu juice and pistachio oil. Otherwise, the classic makis are still very popular, especially with lovers of raw fish.
However, to change from the usual Japanese rice rolls, replace the salmon and tuna with minced lamb, or chicken/avocado. To be dipped in soy sauce and a hint of wasabi, the makis can be eaten with your fingers as well as with chopsticks. Finally, in a completely different style, Vietnamese lettuce rolls are recipes that are as convivial as they are fun, since it is up to each guest to prepare and compose their bite. Here, provide finger washes!
The other alternative is to organize a real American barbecue. Why invest in a state-of-the-art charcoal barbecue if not to use it to the fullest during the summer season? And without much surprise, the meats will be the big stars of the lunch around the family barbecue. So if you want to do it the Texas way, you have the choice between marinated pork ribs in cayenne pepper mixed with coca-cola, or garlic and lemon chicken wings.
In addition, Americans who love good meat also enjoy the prime rib and grilled T-Bone. As an accompaniment, grilled meats are generally eaten with the essential coleslaw or coleslaw. But you can also prepare potato salads, grilled corn, not to mention the famous red beans... In terms of drinks, homemade lemonades will be a hit with children!
Otherwise, in case the real Texan barbecue is synonymous with too many preparations for you, nothing prevents you from making simple hot dogs and / or hamburgers. And the secret to cooking frankfurters is to split them in half, then grill them in foil coated with butter. Finally, on the two previously toasted breads, spread strips of cheddar cheese, without forgetting the legendary American mustard, the "French's Yellow Classic".
