What To Serve As The Main Course For Your Dinner Party

Selecting the best food as the main dish of dinner is often a dilemma. Hosts and hostesses want to make sure they are not serving food that guests might be allergic to, and when it comes to different cultures, they need to be careful that the food is not offensive. For example, he would not serve the pork with a meal in which some of his guests were practising the Muslim religion. He wouldn’t serve roast beef or chicken, knowing that some of his guests are vegetarian. 

Fish is a dish that always goes well at dinner. Try an unusual fish dish, such as halibut. The dinner that offered me the best salutations was one in which I served a recipe called Snappy Halibut Skillet. Together with the simple preparation, it is very tasty. There are many variations of this recipe, but the one that my family and my guests prefer is the following. You need to increase the recipe for the required number of guests. This is based on a dinner for 10 people. 

 Ingredients 

 1 1/2 tsp. Thyme 

 2 1/2 lbs. Halibut (of which 1/2 lbs. Per serving) 

 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 

 1 onion, cut into small pieces 

 1 clove garlic, minced 

 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 

 1 can of steamed tomatoes 

 Sprinkle 1/2 cup chives 

thyme on both sides of each halibut fillet and fry in hot oil over medium heat. Taste the fish with a fork to see if it flakes easily. This will tell you that it is fried. Place the fish on a hot plate. 

In the same skillet, cook the garlic and onion until tender. Add the cornstarch to the steamed tomatoes, then add the mixture to the skillet. Cook until thickened. Put the fish back in the pan and heat it with the sauce.
