It’s time to start thinking of your holiday meals, even if you are having smaller celebrations this year. Here are some ideas for Classic, Traditional Christmas Roasts:
While the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving with turkey, British traditions typically enjoy it on Christmas as their special roast.
If you are planning a small meal, consider these turkey parts, like bone-in breast or bone-in thigh, from Whole Foods.
If you want a roast, and want to have lots of leftover sandwiches days later, consider a whole roast ham. You can choose from honey-glazed or even smoked. While these hams are pre-cooked, it’s always best to give it a reheating in the oven to bring out the juices from the meat.
If you don’t want ham, but still want something with pork, roast pork shoulder is a festive cut that’s sure to make for a memorable meal. For convenience and choice of size, try out the pork cut from Whole Foods.
Nothing says “roast” quite like a roast beef. Celebrate in style at home this season with some prime rib. For a little help in the kitchen, some companies even offer pre-seasoned aged roasts and cooking instructions.
Rack of lamb is practically synonymous with the holidays and classic celebration meals. Be sure not to forget the Mint Sauce!
While not a common Christmas meal, duck confit is nonetheless festive because of the effort it takes to sizzle up the leg. But, you get a big head start with these tins from France so you can really have the real deal.
