Halen Môn Christmas recipes
We’ve brought together all our Christmas recipes into one list of inspirational deliciousness for the whole festive period – our favourite one-tray fish supper to cook after a hard day’s shopping, festive red and green meatballs for Christmas eve and, of course, sparkling centrepieces and sides for the big day too.
Citrus + bitter leaf salad with ricotta
This salad of grown-up flavours is bright and fresh and one we love to eat when blood oranges are in season. It makes a special starter or can be a more substantial meal with good crusty bread and warmed-through grains served alongside.
Smoked galette of stilton, squash + thyme
This wonderfully savoury galette is perfect for a celebratory supper and comes together much quicker than you might think. A wonderful vegetarian tart that everyone will want a slice of.
Baked hake with chilli and clementine butter
This dish is fresh and vibrant and comes together quickly with very little cooking time, the perfect antidote to all the December cooking. The shredded sprouts and fennel underneath the fish become soft and buttery and take on all the flavour from the fish cooking on top.
Very crispy roast potatoes
Here, we roast a lemon alongside which goes beautifully with the potatoes as it caramelises and turns jammy in the oven.
Lamb chops with black garlic roasted squash
Welsh lamb and our best selling Black Garlic Ketchup for a special dinner in December. We’ve even been know to have lamb on the big day here.
Pan-charred sprouts with anchovies
These are great as a seasonal side, or stirred through cooked pasta or tender white beans. Brussels Sprouts, like other members of the cabbage family, benefit from a heavy-hand with the heat. Cooking them until they turn black in places helps to caramelise them and concentrates their flavour. Anchovies melt to become an extra layer of umami seasoning, which is tempered by bright lemon.
