It’s food-centric holiday. Sure, Pillgrims, Indians and being grateful play in somewhere, but really it’s all about the food.
Since my family is so far away, I’m doing Thanksgiving dinner with TSB’s family in the East Bay. Last year, I brought the classis Cranberry Orange Relish, that everyone always seems shocked by, despite the fact that the recipe is on every bag of Oceanspray cranberries.
The unwritten trick though, is to cook it for a few minutes and then refrgerate before serving. Cooking it allows the liquids to gel a bit and brings if from dreary pinkish-grey to a bright red color.
I’m trying to decide what else to bring this year. Anyone have any favorite Thanksgiving dishes to share?
Pumpkin pie. Sadly I don’t have my recipe at work.
i’m simple. i love mashed potatoes with a deeelicious gravy. 😉
It’s not what you would call Traditional Thanksgiving Fare, but I always thought samosas made a great addition to the table.
I made baked ziti to bring to Thanksgiving once during my vegetarian days. With my own roasted tomato sauce.
I saw this recipe for Potato and Brussels Sprout Gratin in last week’s New York Magazine that looked yummy. I might make it. http://nymag.com/listings/recipe/potato-and-brussels/
