5 Great Christmas Eve Feasts
Sat Dec 24 2016
Christmas Eve Feasts should be a relaxed affair; a handheld something or a one pot wonder. When the next day is filled with clanging saucepans and the oven works overload, give everyone a break and prepare something in advance that needs heating up and a bit of sprucing with the addition of a side salad. Here’s our top five ideas for the perfect Christmas Eve Feast:
Mary Berry’s Fish Pie With Crushed Potato Topping
Mary Berry cooks a fish pie every Christmas Eve, and here’s her coveted recipe. Who are we to argue with the genius of the Berry?
Persian Beef Casserole
Ahead of the turkey and ham overload, sometimes it’s nice to include some meat in the run up to Christmas. We love this Persian Beef Casserole.
Chicken and Chorizo Empanadas
If a handheld supper is what you desire, then Lilly Higgins’ empanadas are just the job.
Bacon, Spinach & Blue Cheese Tart
If your family are arriving at different times on Christmas Eve and a sit-down dinner is impossible, then consider a tart. Great served warm, at room temperature or even cold, this one is a winner.
Honey Roast Duck Breasts
Andrew Rudd’s honey roast duck is a fabulous way to start the celebrations in style, and will go with all the Christmas sides, so prepare a bit extra and use some of the veg for tomorrow, today.
