Luxe For Less Christmas

Christmas-lunch-for-under-a-100-main.JPG

This year Woolworths challenged me to create a luxe Christmas lunch that offered great value. I personally feel duty bound to consume less this festive season, assist where I can and eat (and gift) fresh as much as possible. So, I was both creatively and emotionally ready for this challenge. It ticked all those boxes.

So… here is how you can have a luxe Christmas Day for under $100.

Yes. You. Can

250gm Woolworths Cranberries

250gm currants

150 gm butter (melted)

1 punnet Woolworths fresh sage (chopped)

1 punnet Woolworths fresh thyme (chopped)

METHOD.

Blitz bread in a food processor until a medium crumb is formed and place in mixing bowl. Combine currants, cranberries, seasoning, fresh herbs, nuts with the bread in a large mixing bowl.

EASY & INEXPENSIVE SIDES.

Tomato & Feta Salad
Tomato & Feta Salad

Tomatoes are delicious and great table decoration because of their wonderful colour. This is EASY. Simple cut truss tomatoes in half drizzle with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Then add a block of Woolworths Greek Style Fetta to the top and crumble it to serve

Cabbage Pomegranate Slaw.
Cabbage Pomegranate Slaw.

This salad is fresh, crunchy and fast. Shred half to a whole green cabbage and dress with lemon, salt, olive oil. Next, clean and prepare Woolworths fresh pomegranate seeds and finely cut a fresh chilli. Sprinkle over the top of the dressed cabbage and serve. It’s a fantastic foil for all meat, particularly pork

SIMPLE IS BEAUTIFUL.

Everyone loves carrots and sweet potato. In expensive and high on comfort food factor. Peel and par-boil the vegetables and allow to cool. Melt 100 grams of butter with 1/4 cup Woolworths 100% Canadian Maple Syrup and rub through the vegetables before roasting until sweet and tender. Garnish with herbs or Woolworths Silvered Almonds (as I have above)

Pork Belly Bites
Pork Belly Bites

These are next level yummy and perfect for the Christmas table or any festive entertaining. Pop Woolworths Pork Belly Bites in a super hot oven (250 degrees) for 30 minutes - keep an eye on them - until crisp and tender. They need nothing more than salt and fresh chopped parsley.

Roast Pork Shoulder
Roast Pork Shoulder

The key to great pork roast is crackling and the key to crackling is ten to twenty minutes in a super hot oven FIRST. Then knock the temperature down to about 180 degrees and cook for an hour depending on cut and weight. We used a beautiful Woolworths Roast Pork Boneless Shoulder

Everything looks more expensive in miniatures. Facts. I added colour and happiness to the table with these delicious baby pavlovas. I totally cheated my way to dessert perfection filling Woolworths Meringue Nests with whipped cream and fresh passionfruit.

Bon Bon Basket
Bon Bon Basket

You can’t have Christmas without bonbons. I prefer not to place them on the table but rather use a beautiful bowl, vase or wine bucket and stack them in an opulent, candy shop manner. CLICK TO BUY: Woolworths Christmas Entertaining Bon Bons 12 pack, $10

Mango Coconut Cocktail
Mango Coconut Cocktail

This works well with white spirits but my preference is Gordon’s Gin. Simply blend some Woolworths Frozen Mango segments, with Woolworths 100 Percent Pure Coconut Water and run through a seive. Add 30ml gin, shake over ice and pour.

Simple But Chic.
Simple But Chic.

The best way to save money at Christmas is to use nature and all it’s beauty to dress your table. Look at your garden in a different way and think about what you could spray paint, greenery you can turn into centrepieces, flowers etc. I didn’t buy anything new for the table but I reimagined it completely.
