You should
make one
ambitious
dish, and
that should
be your
main course
When you have
hours, not days, to
prepare a meal,
focus your efforts
on one thing:
the main course.
It doesn’t have to
be elaborate, but
treat this as your
ta-da! moment,
something a notch
or two above
Tuesday-night
chicken thighs.
Roasting a large,
boneless cut of
meat—think leg
of lamb or pork
shoulder—with
a garlicky spice
rub will always
taste amazing and
look impressive,
not to mention feed
everyone (with
a strong chance
of leftovers).Serve the lamb
on a giant
cutting board
and let guests
help themselves.
