Prepared this Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time by sticking it to a KEO THANKSGIVING MEAL with a twist.
I was craving for some Thanksgiving meal since last Thu and was planning to go out over the weekend, but too tired post crazy working days.
Decided to pamper me with whatever is there in my stock except for the pumpkin, whole chicken, black grapes which are the key ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner. So ordered through Big Basket which got delivered this evening.
APPETIZERS -
BAKED ZUCCHINI SLICES layered with mayo, topped with burnt garlic, mushroom and feta cheese.
SALAD -
BROCCOLI CHICKEN SALAD - Bite sized boiled broccoli and grilled chicken strips tossed with fried bacon bit and shredded cheddar. The dressing that I used - mix of mayo, sour cream, a few drops of apple cider, crushed pepper. To add some more nuttiness to my salad, I added a handful of pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
KETO EGG SALAD -
Boiled egg, olive tossed with mayo, chilli oil, crushed pepper and a handful of cilantro roots to boost the taste.
MAIN COURSES -
PUMPKIN PORK STEW - Added shredded pumpkin, cabbage, onion, garlic, crushed pepper and extra lemon juice which just elated the flavour of the winter broth.
WHOLE CHICKEN ROAST - Marinated with little soya, honey, red chilli flakes, paprika to bring that burnt crust on the skin and filled with pork sausage, malta orange, cilantro bunches. To go with my CRANBERRY BLACK GRAPES SAUCE.
DESSERT -
PUMPKIN ORANGE MOUSSE - Pumpkin puree, orange pulp, mascarpone cheese, organic honey. Just whipped for a few mins and to give it the tint of a cheesecake, layered with cappuccino crackers and allowed it to set in the fridge. Garnished with dried cranberries, toasted almonds and a scoop of sweet cream.
I badly missed a glass of red 🍷 today - unfortunately not there in my stock.
Happy Thanksgiving 😀.
