Looking for International (read: outside of the US) Recipes, with appetizer, main course and dessert

[JayPettryMMA]

I'm celebrating in the very near future, and I'd like to ask you guys if you had any recipes from a specific country, region, culture, or something else.

I can easily google plenty of ideas, but I'm looking for some deeper cuts you might have. An old family recipe, something off the beaten path, you know.

Thanks in advance.


An event from the past, for instance, was Caribbean themed and had:

FOR THE SPATZEL

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Add in the flour and stir until well combined.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Place your spaetzle maker over the top, then pour half of the batter into the cup of the device. Quickly slide the cup back and forth to allow the batter to drop through. Repeat with second half of batter, working quickly, until all the batter is cooking in the pot.
3. Set the spaetzle maker aside and give the dumplings a good stir in the pot. Let them cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until floating on the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl. Toss with butter and spices. Serve warm.

Ingredients

• 1 batch of homemade German spaetzle or a package of store bought ones
• 1 cup of caramelized onions as described above
• 4 oz shredded Emmental Cheese
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• Herbs to garnish optional

Instructions

1. Cook the spaetzle as indicated in the recipe, or on the package and pre-heat your oven to 375F.
2. In a pan with butter, fry the cooked spaetzle noodles until lightly golden brown.
3. Mix the fried spaetzle with the caramelized onion and half the Emmental cheese. Portion into two casserole dishes and top with remaining Emmental cheese and bread crumbs.
4. Bake the käsespätzle for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted on top.
5. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs such as parsley and serve!

Recipe Notes
The cooking times do not include the time required to caramelize the onions, or to make spaetzle from scratch. It only accounts for the assembly and baking of the käsespätzle casserole.
