A 3 Course meal that's great for Summer Entertaining, plus it won't break the bank!

3 Courses by NeighbourBlog



Summer is a time for entertaining our friends, now this is usually accompanied by wonderful food. But it can get expensive trying to put together a whole 3 course meal. So we've done the hard work and come up with one that won't break the bank, plus is impressive AND easy (we tested it).

So we have a delicious starter, followed by a hearty main and a desert that is sure to win anyone over. Enjoy Neighbours!




















Prosciutto wrapped Figs - Starter

Ingredients:-

Ripe figs
Balsamic Vinegar
Prosciutto
Shavings of Parmesan
Rocket Leave

Cut the figs into either halves or quarters. Get a griddle pan hot and add Olive Oil, sear the figs until blackened. Wrap in the Prosciutto and serve with the Parmesan and Balsamic Vinegar on a bed of Rocket. 
So simple but will impress your guests and it tastes fantastic.


Stuffed Chicken Breast - Main

Ingredients:-

125g Ball Mozzarella, torn into pieces 
50g Cheddar Cheese, grated
1 tbsp Wholegrain Mustard
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
8 pieces Streaky Bacon
Few torn Basil Leaves

Make a small slit in the side of the breast, big enough to stuff the ingredients into. Next smear in the mustard, then add the ingredients above apart from the bacon.
Next wrap the chicken in the bacon strips, if it isn't holding that easily you can always secure it with cocktail sticks. Then bake in the oven on around 180c/200c for about 20-25 minutes until cooked all the way through. Serve with new potatoes and greens.


Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream Sundaes - Desert

Ingredients:-

50g Peanut Butter
100g Dark Chocolate broken into pieces
200ml Whole Milk
300g Caramel
4 brownies broken into chunks
50g Peanuts or Peanuts
4 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
4 Scoops Chocolate Ice Cream

Put the pieces of chocolate and 100ml of the Milk into a saucepan on a low heat. Put the Caramel, Peanut Butter and 100ml of the Milk into another saucepan. Stir both frequently on a low heat until they have thickened and become a sauce.
Then layer away in Ice Cream glasses and serve straight away!
