Another OT - Garnish?
Some of you have read my post about cooking for a large group and cooking
the lasagna. Well, the way it wil all be served is that the lasagna will be plated by itself. Any suggestions on a garnish for this? Again, I'm pretty new to this, but I want things to look nice, and just a hunk of lasagna isn't that great looking on a plate. Well, I take that back, it really is to me, but you know what I mean. Thanks for the help! B-Worthey |

I just sprinkle it with fresh grated Parmesan and/or Romano, then a little fresh or dried basil, oregano or tarragon. It's Italian food, not French! I suppose a little paper umbrella might be pretty.

I just discovered some info on garnishing it with basil, now if I can just figure up how much I might need for 160 plates of it, I'll be doing good! B-Worthey |

One sprig of fresh Basil on top of each piece sounds nice. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten.

I was goign to have an empty plate, I felt, with just a hunk of lasagna on there. Again, looks GREAT to me, but I just wanted to add some touch to it. B-Worthey |

How about a variety of breadsticks - hard, soft, seeded, etc., instead of bread. Then a piece of garlic bread to go along with the lasagna. The diners will need something to help them clean their plates! And like Chef Juke said, a sprig of green for the fru-fru touch! Just out of curiosity, why are you posting different aspects of this event to different groups? |

I'd not serve the bread ahead of time, but would place a piece on the plate with the lasagna. Sprinkle chopped parsley lightly on both for color. ---Nonnymus--- You don’t stand any taller by trying to make others appear shorter. |
