Appetizer: Upside Down Fig, Feta & Thyme Puff Pastries
What could be as simple or impressive as these upside-down puff pastry apps with a Mediterranean edge? Let the fig, feta, thyme, and honey do the heavy lifting with store-bought pastry crimped around the edges. Bake till golden, then bask in the oohs and aahs this easy app delivers.
Side dish: Middle Eastern–Style Honey-Glazed Carrots
Bring home the flavours of the world with these oven-roasted Moroccan-spiced halved carrots. They get a honey glaze before being served atop a flavourful tahini-yogourt sauce and garnished with pomegranate arils and chopped pistachios. It might be a new family favourite!
Side dish: Maple Syrup and Miso–Glazed Roasted Chinese-style Eggplant
Cross-hatched Chinese eggplants roasted and basted with a miso, maple, and tahini sauce produce a silky textured eggplant that’s bursting with flavour. Garnished with finely sliced green onion and sesame seeds, this side is bound to be on high rotation for the holidays and beyond.
Main: Korean-Inspired Maple-Glazed Ham
This is a finger-licking-good holiday recipe that gives you a twist on a classic glazed spiral ham. For this version, take a Panache Spiral Cut Ham that gets roasted and basted in a Korean-inspired gochujang and maple glaze and finished with a garnish of sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Main: North African–Style Spiced Roast Beef
Inspired by the flavour-forward dishes of North Africa, your Sterling Silver Prime Rib Easy Carve Beef Roast is rubbed with a spice mix marinade. The prime rib is then oven-roasted with crushed tomatoes and a beef broth to create an amazing pan sauce for your meat and mashed potatoes. It’s a keeper!
