New Years recipe ideas when you´re not on a budget

New Years Eve is coming up and if you haven´t decided on what to serve I have picked some of my own favorite recipes from Delicious Tapas and have some great suggestions for you!

This is part four in this series and for this post I will focus when you have an unlimited budget and want to treat yourself and your guests to something extra.

All recipes can be found in their original post that I have linked for each dish. I haven´t suggested any dessert but since I´m not that much into desserts. But if I have to recommend something I would go for any great ice cream, because who doesn´t love ice-cream?

New Years menu when you´re not on a budget

Appetizers - these three appetizers can more or less be eaten using your hands and of course you will be serving loads of Champagne on the side.

Duck liver paté with rosehip jam and bread
Grilled asparagus with Parmesan cheese
Grissini with Parma ham and cream cheese

Starter

Tuna tartar with avocado and chives

Tuna is always appreciated and I love the freshness and elegance of this recipe, since the budget is not an issue get the best tuna you can find.

Main course

Lobster tail with caper aioli
Linguine with truffles cream and Parmesan

Combine these two recipes but instead but skip the caper aioli for the lobster and you can serve the lobster warm instead of cold.

Foie gras paté with rosehip jam & bread # 47

Foie gras have been a subject of some controversy the last few years, I won´t go into that discussion, everyone gets to set their own standards on whats ok or not. What is under no debate is that the taste is amazing so here´s a super simple recipe that still has everything it needs.

Foie gras paté with rosehip jam & bread

Rosehip jam
Bread

Well it won´t get any easier than this but who says you have to do everything yourself, simply cut and toast the bread, cut a generous piece of paté and put on each piece of bread. Top with a spoonful of rosehip jam.

If you can´t find the jam then just replace it with your favourite, other great flavors is fig, apple, pear for example. Good luck.

Roquefort cheese with rosehip marmalade # 3

Roquefort cheese is one of the kings of cheese and have you tried it once you´ll problaby love it forever, unless you´re a child because then you are likely to hate it. The best way to eat it is with a simple marmalade and for this I bought a really good rosehip marmalade but you can replace it with other types if you can´t find a rosehip one. For example pear, fig and apple are also great friend of the Roquefort cheese.

If you are serving a lot of tapas it can also be fun to mix it up with an unexpected dish like this one since you usually serve it after or at the end of a meal.

Cut the cheese in small pieces, put a spoonful of marmalade on each piece, season with black pepper. Serve at room temperature to make sure you´ll get the best flavor.
