I have been asked to make a dinner for a friend. It is her 60th birthday (it is in March, no real hurry yet) and there is only one small problem. There is a vegetarian in the family, and I want to give him a meal that is as good as what the others are getting.
The details for the other are not totally worked out yet, but so far I am leaning towards something with salmon as a starter and oven roasted leg of lamb as main coures. I am living fairly close to a salmon "farm" up in the mountains of Brazil. I still have to check out the quality of it (I am a bit picky about fish, I am from the west coast of Norway), but it would be a real treat for them as it is considered a a luxury here. And lamb is not too much used in this area, so it will also be a bit of a surprise.
The dessert will be safe for vegetarians, so that is not a problem.
He eat eggs and dairy products. So that is no problem. But I would be very happy to hear what you think.
As you might understand, the menu is not at all set yet. I have checked that there are no special allergies. So the main challenge is the vegetarian. There will be 14 people in the party, 3 of them are children. And there will of course be a couple of cakes later.
