Meal Plan Question: What is a good appetizer that goes with lamb chops and pie?

Question

We are cooking a 3 course meal for a number of 15 year olds. For the entree we are making lamb chops, and for desert a pie. It might be cool to do a surf and turf kind of thing, but I am open to any suggestions.

Answer 1

Appetizer Suggestions:

Grilled Pita Bread with olive oil, garlic, feta, tomato and basil

Won Ton cups with caramelized onions and feta cheese

Sliced baguettes toasted with olive oil, herbs and mozzarella cheese

The bacon wrapped or bbq shrimp suggestion above is a good idea too! Sounds like they have very mature pallets so I hope this helps!

Answer 2

My first response is stuffed mushrooms.  If you're looking for surf & turf, what about doing some kind of shrimp.  Maybe a shrimp cocktail or BBQ shrimp.  Or bacon wrapped scallops.

Answer 3

With lamb chops I tend to make with some cous cous and grilled veggies, and some pitas on the side.  Shrimp with a greek spice would be good too if you want to add surf.  

Answer 4

Try some angel hair pasta with shrimp in a lemon sauce.

I always like to serve just a little pasta ,and for young ones it's really special,you know how they like their comfort food.

My recipe for lemon shrimp.

In heavy frying pan add olive oil and butter,garlic and saute for a min. add shrimp and continue for 2,3 min.

At this point add lemon juice and jest and some good quality white wine,salt,pepper and red pepper flakes ,continue cooking until shrimp changes color 3 more min.

Add pasta to the sauce and some pasta water.

Serve with Parmigiano Regiano grated cheese and finely choped parsley.

Answer 5

I would suggest any kind of potatoes mashed,baked,even cheesy scalped potatoes. Hope it helped!:)
