Potluck lunch at work?

Question

I need to bring in a dish for a potluck lunch at work. We have 15 employees. Any good but easy ideas?

Answer 1

My favourite recipe (one that I use all the time):
Marinate some chicken wings/drumsticks in chopped garlic and ginger, and soy sauce (add some water otherwise it would be really salty). Then roast with honey. This makes great finger food/starters/picnic food!
This makes a good alternative to sunday roasts aswell - just serve with the usual veg and gravy, it's even tastier!

Answer 2

Salad- It's fall so here you go... At home, cut and core and aplle into thin slices. Take a bit of cider vinegar and sprinkle it over the apple slices and put them into a zip lock bag for the fridge. ( sounds very weird but it is SOOOO good) Also slice and core some pears and put a little lemon jucie on them and store ina zip lock cold. Then take crumbled blue cheese in a container. Buy a can of smoked almonds or other roasted nuts and chope them into smaller pieces and put them in a little dish and cover them. Then buy a few bags of mixed salad greens. Now- a dressing- get a small box of fresh raspberries. Put them in your blender, add some rice vinegar and a little very litght oil like grapeseed., salt, pepper and one teaspoon of honey and mix it in the blender until its a smooth pink sauce. The next day at work have a big bowl and open all the bags of stuff (except the nuts- some people are allergic so sit them next to the salad with a spoon so they can add their own if they want it.) and put the greens, apples, pears, blue cheese and the raspberry dressing ( not ALL of it, use good judgement on the amount)- toss it all together and leave some big salad tongs in the bowl and sit back and wait for the compliments.

Here is a salad that looks so pretty, taste's so good and is so easy. 1 head of Cauliflower
1 head of Broccoli
1 red onion
1 cucumber
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
3 tomatoes
Cut up the cauliflower in pieces (or cut the core out of it and break the flowerette's by hand)
Cut up the broccoli in pieces (first cut most the stalk off)
Cut the red onion in small slices
Half the cucumber and cut in slices
Cut the rest of ingredients any way you want.Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then get one bottle of Italian Dressing and pour that over everything and mix. Let set in fridge a few hours or overnight.
Its so pretty to look at and everyone seems to love it. Also you can throw in a few black olives if you like.

Answer 5

1 pot chile. Chop up an onion. Throw that and a pound of ground mince (hamburger) into a thick bottom pot. Brown the hamburger and onions then drain the grease. Rinse a can of kidney beans and throw that in. Add a can of mushrooms with the liquid and a can of diced tomatoes with the liquid. Throw in some garlic powder, chili powder and some oregano. Add a teaspoon of beef bullion powder. Stir, simmer one hour and you're golden. If you've got a crockpot, you can take it to work in a crockpot and let it simmer all morning.
