MAIN – FESTIVE WELLINGTON WITH CHERVIL CARROTS AND POMMES DUCHESSES
This gorgeous wellington made from pieces of vegan chicken and stuffed with rich and divine ingredients is a real centerpiece. Classic carrots and pommes duchesse bring up all the good nostalgic feelings about what a Christmas meal should be like! If you’re worried about your schedule, you can ease the work by preparing some elements a day ahead, like the wellington (the flavours will even get better after a day!), and pommes duchesse. Just bake them for another few minutes in a hot oven before serving. This course is a crowd pleaser!
DESSERT – WINTER WONDER DESSERT TRIO
This WINTER WONDER DESSERT TRIO is the perfect dessert to a classic menu. The stewed pears (a Dutch classic), are cooked in elderberry juice, which gives them a wonderful ‘musky’ flavour and a stunning deep purple colour. Tangerine and almond flirt with each other in the mini semolina cakes, and the ice cream brings all wintery flavours together whilst also being a refreshment after a good savoury meal.
Het ziet er écht fantástisch uit!! 🙂
