As there were only the two of us for Christmas dinner this year (don’t worry, all the family descend from Boxing Day onwards), we went for food we really like rather than the traditional approach.
Starter:
Goats cheese coated in brioche breadcrumbs, fried and served with Serrano ham and tomatoes in balsamic, honey and white truffle oil dressing.
Main course:
Pan-fried scallops with spicy sausage meat, served with salad leaves picked from the garden earlier.
Pudding:
[comes much later in the evening, after we've relaxed for a while and made some room]
