Vegetable side dishes for Christmas dinner
Just wondered what veggies everyone serves with Christmas dinner and if there were any new ideas out there. I usually do carrots,sprouts, roast parsnips and either cauliflower cheese or red cabbage. Fancied doing something different this year.

Halved sprouts stir fried with smoked bacon lardons, red onion and a balamic glaze/dressing.

That sounds yummy, have considered trying a different sprouts recipe. Be worth it just to see MIL's face
I am already in the doghouse for doing Yorkshires, which she makes a comment about every year, but still manages to eat

I wouldn't have anything with cheese on it either - doesn't go right with proper gravy made with the drippings from the roast. Guess everyone's entitled to their own favourites though.

Christmas dinner is just a run of the mill roast these days. We don't even make the yorkshires any more. Just use frozen.
I do believe they go for the better range though - I think in beef dripping. We have yorkshires, instant sage & onion stuffing and mint sauce with all and any roast

Proper mashed turnip, not the swede/potato mash stuff. Piping hot and generous amount of salt.

We do yorkshires as well! I don't want to do them this year but the family have kicked up a stink!
I also do: honey roast parsnips, roast carrots, braised red cabbage, and sprouts with chestnuts & bacon. |
