The secret? Prepare in advance
In order not to arrive breathless and already tired on Sunday mornings, the secret is to choose courses that can be prepared a little in advance, that can be served cold, or that have quick cooking. This is why i are perfect compound dishes, where the base can also be thought of the day before, mixed salads, in which vegetables and other ingredients can be pre-sliced and stored separately, stuffed vegetables, stuffed meat rolls, garnished bread croutons, pies of pasta that need to be cooked in the oven for 30 minutes or, even better, of a heated dish only. Do first all that allows you to stay quieter on the day of the invitation, to enjoy Sunday lunch and chat with friends.
Unique dishes with carbohydrates and proteins
A trick to bring to the table tantalizing proposals that appeal to all without much effort is to think of unique dishes, in which carbohydrates mix with proteins, meat or fish, according to your taste, with the addition of some vegetables, to have in a single proposal all the nutrients you need, in a rich and balanced meal, as well as very tasty! Choose cereals such as barley, spelled, brown rice or millet, to vary from the usual pasta and prepare a really special Sunday lunch!
And in the end … the dessert
Since it is a Sunday lunch, a very special moment, it cannot be concluded without a sweet ending! The traditional ones are the most suitable, starting from the always appreciated apple pie, apricot tart, lemon cake. The inevitable tiramisu, the king of spoon desserts, or panna cotta, garnished with a cream of wild berries or, if you are really greedy, with a dark chocolate. And for dessert, rest assured, if prepared the day before, it's even better!
