Christmas food and dishes today to help you experience the season like never before Enjoy a variety of traditional and international meals.
TRADITIONAL DISHES
Leftovers sandwich
Use up leftovers from Christmas Day to make this festive sandwich, which has pickled cabbage to balance its richness. This is the perfect Boxing Day lunch. Create a double- or triple-decker sandwich by piling on lots of extra bread and contents.
Eggnog
Eggnog is a traditional Christmas beverage made with brandy, cream, eggs, and vanilla. It will get you in the mood for celebration. Fill tumbler glasses with plenty of ice and serve.
Coconut fried rice
Savor this coconut-fried rice over the holiday season. This Christmas garnish has a twist thanks to the addition of pomegranate gems and shredded Brussels sprouts.
Crab Legs
Although making crab legs at home can be intimidating due to their high cost, they are one of the best indulgences in life. We do, however, have a secret: crab legs are incredibly popular at an Alaskan Christmas meal and really simple to prepare. These time-tested culinary techniques, which include the Instant Pot, will have you feeling upscale in a matter of minutes.
Green Bean Casserole
Even if Georgia doesn’t get very cold, there is still a demand for hearty, comforting meals. That’s why green bean casseroles are so popular around the holidays. We used fresh cream of mushroom soup in this recipe instead of the canned one. You can add a base with significant depth of flavor by sautéing mushrooms with thinly sliced onion in butter.
INTERNATONAL MENU
Pavlova
The pav is still regarded as a national treasure in both Australia and New Zealand and is a Christmastime must. This cake-like pile of baked meringue topped with cream and tropical fruit is always wonderful, regardless of its contentious history.
Shashlik
Although lamb is typically used to make shashlik, you could make these Russian kebabs using beef and no one would ever call the police. Just make sure that before grilling over flame, the meat is marinated for hours in a pungent, herbaceous infusion. The fact that Russia’s Christmas dinner includes barbecue may seem odd to you. In Petersburg, December temperatures typically drop below six degrees Celsius. However, who could be opposed to the custom of getting together around a fire and sharing food? even in the event of a snowstorm outside.
Christmas pudding
The centerpiece of the traditional English Christmas supper in Great Britain, Ireland, and other Commonwealth of Nations nations is Christmas pudding, sometimes known as plum pudding. In spite of its name, plum is not used to make it. This was the term used to describe raisins in the Middle Ages.
Raisins, breadcrumbs, sugar, butter, and spices make up the pudding. They cover the dish in brandy, rum, or other potent alcoholic beverages and light it before serving. The plum pudding has an additional unique feature in that it is prepared many weeks ahead of time, allowing the fruit to fully develop.
Prawns
Choosing our best gong was simple. Prawns taste exactly like Christmas in Australia. However, we prefer the already-cooked variety that you peel yourself. They’re delicious and refreshing for the summer, but what really makes them great is the suspense you feel when getting your hands messy. To be honest, we would be surprised if an Australian family that enjoys meat didn’t include prawns on their Christmas table. The largest operational fish market in the Southern Hemisphere, the Sydney Fish Market, is especially convenient for those who live in Sydney. Although it’s best to arrive early to avoid the crowds, we are fortunate to provide fantastic accommodations that are in close proximity.
Kourabiedes
Greek Christmas is sweet and nutty, featuring
- layers of phyllo dough
- honey, and
- crushed almonds
to make the pastry baklava. A festive classic are kourabiedes, which are buttery almond cookies dusted with powdered sugar.
