It may not be a Jewish holiday. It may not even be English but I’m always happy to get behind any opportunity to get together with friends or family to share gorgeous autumnal ingredients. Here are some of my favourite JC recipes that fit the fest: Turkey's normally the star of the show and and Denise Phillips’s tasty rolled makes a delicious centrepiece.
Fabienne Viner-Luzzato’s pastry-covered takes an English spin with a Middle Eastern twist. It’s is filled with sweet figs, mushrooms and sticky sweet pomegranate molasses. Pecans are a a must for Thanksgiving celebration and delicious on Sally-Ann Thwaite’s .
It’s quick and easy and easy to make for a crowd. Pumpkins and squash are also a favourite and make brilliant main courses for vegetarians and vegans. Gennaro Contaldo’s sunny-coloured is hearty, warming and full of flavour.
Mozzarella and parmesan will have cheese-lovers in raptures. Vegetarian guests are also going to love Katie Pix's which is packed with pecans as well as another Thanksgiving perennial favourite — cranberries. (Swap out the feta and it’s vegan-friendly.
) Getting to the sides, turkey’s always going to need a serving of stuffing and Amit Batito’s delectable , packed with herbs and chestnuts is a winner. It’s so tasty you could serve it on its own and it’s a fantastic way of using up leftover challah – if there is such a thing. If you fancy a salad Rukmini Iyer’s fresh-flavoured is a winner.
Plenty of crunch from the veggie.
