- Turkey, Ham and Beef. Then mash potato, crispy roast potatoes, pigs and blankets, crispy roast parsnips, Brussels sprouts shedded with pancetta, roasted heritage carrots and broccoli and steamed greens. Cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing balls. Always buy way too much so that we can eat Christmas dinner for the next few days after. Comfort food at its best.
Anything that makes the Christmas dinner easier to prepare makes for a smoother christmas day- we have time to enjoy our time round the table as a family.
We go traditional with turkey and all the trimmings and lashings of gravy. We have a new addition this year who is weaning and cannot wait to give her, her first Christmas dinner
I cook them so they are crispy on the outside, but warm and juicy on the inside. They are slow cooked in the oven to get them just right.
To start Christmas day, we all have a hot bowl of Ready Brek with added sugar.
For Christmas Dinner, I serve 'help your self' styled, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas, and roasted parsnips. After the vegetables, there is creamy mashed potato, turkey (my partner slices as requested), crispy Pigs in Blankets and Yorkshire puddings. We usually have two gravy boats, I will probably be doing three this year though with apple, mint and cranberry sauce to add to the plates if wanted.
For Christmas desert, we usually have chocolate gateaux and a strawberry gateaux as none of us like Christmas pudding.
For afternoon, as we are usually only peckish, I usually make sandwiches party foods - buffet style.
If hungry after then the crackers and cheese come out! ☺️
We making a Christmas crackers ourself and putting lovely, though full gifts in them along with wishes for next year.
We always serve turkey with mash and roasted potatoes, selection of vegetables, pigs in blankets, mozzarella sticks, cocktail sausages and prawn cocktail. For pudding I make Christmas cheese cake, chocolate cake and piparkukas (traditional Latvian biscuits with spices and black peppers)
With such a huge main course, we don't bother with starters or dessert. But indulge in a glass of wine (or two) while enjoying our traditional Christmas dinner.
