skymama 35 #1 June 6, 2002 Ok, here's the problem. I've already committed to cooking dinner for my family on Sunday. That's 8 people I need to cook for. Now, there are beach jumps going on, and I want to be there! So, I'm looking for help on what I can cook, either beforehand, or in a crock-pot, or if it can be cooked in about an hour, so I can still go out to the beach as long as possible. The only requirements are that it has to include meat, and it can't have dairy. Any suggestions?AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out.

skymama 35 #8 June 6, 2002 Ok, I falied to mention that when I was married for 17 years, I never did the cooking! Like a roast- what kind of cut is that, how much does 8 people eat and what do I do with it? I can't grill anything because I'm in an apartment and it's not allowed.AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been with my woman for 15 years and she dont cook either.A roast for eight people will take between 1.5 and 2 hrs to cook.Do a stewy kind of meal that you can cook the day before and reheat it out of the fridge the next day.Chilli is good.I like chicken risotto but the rice can be tricky.I suppose you could throw some chicken pieces with mixed veg into the crockpot and let it stew in a dry white wine and bay leaf sauce all day. Just add a little thickning to the wine so it is not too watery. Alternatively use lamb.

Be happy to help - a good chicken in wine is easy, impressive, and quick. A good rolled roast for 8 would take about 4 hours, so that's out, and roast rack of lamb would also take too long...does it have to be red meat? PM me if you want recipes.
