Hi!
So we have a dinner club with some friends and we meet once a month at a couple's house and enjoy a well thought out and beautifully cooked meal... with some wine usually Next month it is my turn and as it will be full blown winter I want to do something hearty but not too heavy.
1. Starter: pea and ham soup made with pulled eisbein in a slow cooker.
2. ??? (this is where I need your help please)
3. apple and cherry pie with homemade apple butter ice cream.
The problem is I can't think of anything that fits well. Red meat or duck would be too rich in the context, pork is already in the starter. That leaves chicken or fish really... and neither are jumping out at me as a party-worthy idea. Or perhaps its the starter that doesn't go well? Any ideas would be appreciated!
