Probably one of my favorite things about Christmas, besides
of course celebrating Christ birthday and what it represents, is cooking up a
fun feast for family and friends. The holidays have always meant to me a large
mix of culinary delights and many of which are harvested during the fall and
winter. The following is my top 10 picks of “MUST” make dishes during Christmas
and New Years. No doubt, everyone of these recipes has been truly tested and enjoyed
for many, many years. All of them are “Can’t Miss” recipes. The top 10 list is
in no particular order at all, they are all number one. These ten dishes also
offer a great variety of table fare that will accommodate the most
discriminating palate. If you are looking for a great Christmas company dish
just pick out of these, your family and friends will love you for it.
If you really enjoy these recipes, you can always say thank
you buy buying us an appetizer here on Jim’s Galley. Tis the season!
Ok, here we go!!
1) Baugh’s
Baguettes
I don’t know what else I can say,
everyone loves gourmet artisan home baked bread. It goes with everything over
the holidays and fresh baguettes served with an olive oil dipping spice mix is
a dinner within itself. You can always vary this recipe with your own blended
flowers. These days I usually do a mix of half whole grain and half high glutton
or bread flour. This recipe is also one of our top five most requested recipes
of all time, it is a darn good one. Here ya go!
2) Sea
Bass
This here in the Mid Atlantic is
one of our favorite Holiday and Wintertime
dishes. Fresh Sea Bass caught deep offshore is one of thhe tasetyest fish yu
could ever pan fry. You won’t be disappointed with this one!
3) Cajun Injected Smoked Brined Turkey
Cajun injucted brined Turkey .
Well, nuff said. Just DO IT!! Also be sure to make some “Muff”
sandwiches with some of those Turkey
slices. WOW!! Now that is some leftovers!
4) Apple Wood Smoked Salmon with Asparagus
Salmon goes with just about any celebration. If you have not
planked it up yet, make a point to this Christmas. A VERY good way to prepare
Salmon and it is something your guest will not often have the pleasure of
having. Cheers!
5) Jim Bo Lyia
Jim Bo Lyia is always a Christmas Fav and breaks up the
traditional with a little spice. This recipe is from a buddy of mine who is a
world renowned chef. This is a sure “Fire” recipe that every Holiday
should enjoy. We Do!!
6) Linguine and clam sauce
Clams! Clams! Clams! A SUPER MUST during Christmas.
Clams anyway and every way you can fix them Clams Casino is a fav and the recipe
is also here on the Galley. This Linguine is a stable recipe that we prepare a
lot and can also go as a side with man other main entrees. It is fantastic
alongside a nice think Holiday steak!! Have
fun with this one!
7) Oyster Stuffing Patties
Well, if you’re not going to have Oyster
stuffing, then just call off the whole darn shootin match! This is a MUST HAVE HOLIDAY DISH!
8) Muffuletta
The key here is the oiva salad, it goes with everything. Make it a couple weeks before Christmas and enjoy it with everything. You don't have to use the authentic meat ingredients, the smoked Turkey your going to have on hand is awesome with this olive salad. What ever else you may do over the Holidas, make SURE you do this one. You will be sooooooo glad you did!
9) Jim's Chicago Deep Dish Extravaganza
Nothing better on a chilly Holiday evening to break up the smoke smell in the house from all that TUrke than a great deep dish pie. This is one of our top five requested recipes. A gooden!!
10) Steamed Lobster with Clams and Drawn Garlic Butter
This one just needs
no explanation at all. Just do it!
Merry Christmas From "Santa Jim"
