To start your Christmas menu, prepare this easy recipe for pumpkin velouté with foie gras and hazelnuts. Boil or steam a large slice of pumpkin, then mix it with a little broth and liquid cream. Add salt and pepper. Cut a piece of raw foie gras into small cubes and fry them quickly in a spoonful of hazelnut oil. Crush a few hazelnuts and toast them dry for a few seconds in a non-stick pan. Present your homemade pumpkin soup in pretty little verrines. Distribute small cubes of foie gras and a few hazelnuts in each. Serve immediately. An easy, tasty and economical recipe idea!
Not good at cooking turkey? Opt for an easy and equally delicious recipe based on chicken, faster and easier to cook! Buy a very good free-range chicken, and simply cook it in the oven with a few cloves of garlic and some herbs. Serve it with homemade mashed potatoes and pan-fried mushrooms, garnished with garlic and parsley. A dish that is both simple and very tasty!
For the dessert of your Christmas menu, you have the choice between many easy recipes. Of course, there is the unmissable Yule log, in a pastry or frozen version. But you can also innovate by preparing an easy chocolate dessert that you love, such as a chocolate mousse, a chocolate fondant or, why not, a Christmas mug cake? To give it a little festive air, bet on gold leaf or candy decorations. Bon appetit!
