Large multi-day cookout for more than 7 people


I had family over for the past week and during the week the following simple recipes were used to feed the 7 people that were here.  I also ended up with plenty of leftovers.

So first day was a massive BBQ where we made:
So A couple days later we made - Ceviche:
I took and modified this recipe (http://drummingupabettermeal.blogspot.com/2015/06/haddock-and-shrimp-ceviche.html) to make a ceviche for everyone to enjoy: 
  • 6 Tilapia instead of the haddock and shrimp. 
  • One smaller batch included some heat for flavor replacing the lighter tasting pepper flakes
    • 1 whole habanero, diced as small as possible.  Flesh only no seeds
    • A healthy dash or two of Aji Amarillo
A couple of sides for these meals were:
  • Cauliflower - quick boil
  • Sweet potatoes - boiled
  • brussel sprouts
  • rice
Breakfasts made out of the leftovers:
  • Quick hash from small diced potatoes fried on stove with thinly sliced beef heart pieces, chicken thighs, and/or sausage leftovers
  • Scrambled Eggs + pieces of heart or sausage quickly warmed up on stove
  • Boiled eggs + leftovers
Desserts:

Rice Pudding

Rice pudding is one of my favorite desserts.  Many cultures have a unique way of making it.  I will list some of the alternates below.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can of goats milk  (or evaporated milk)
  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (to taste, only add as much as needed)
  • 1-2 pieces of cinnamon
  • 5 whole clove buds
  • handful raisins
Instructions:
  • Combine Rice, Water, cinnamon pieces, clove buds, and raisins and bring water to boil.
  • Reduce to simmer until water mostly gone
  • Add the milks and keep simmering
  • Add the sugar to taste as you keep simmering
Serving Instructions:
  • In Peru and a couple other cultures rice pudding is served warm with a light sprinkling of cinnamon
  • I like this both warm and cold, and both with a medium sprinkling of cinnamon.
