Holiday 2019 Food Offering

Here are some pictures of the dishes that I am offering for the 2019 Holiday Season:

CHICKEN TARTS

Finely chopped chicken with a blend of cheeses in a mini tart shell. Perfect for snacking, appetizers, or finger food.

CHICKEN RELLENO

If you're tired of turkey, this would be a nice change. I just love this stuffed chicken so much but I just make it for gatherings or special occasions because of the amount of work that goes into it.  It's a Philippine Boneless Stuffed Chicken stuffed with lean ground pork, sausages, raisins, cheese, olives, sweet pickles, and ham. Comes with gravy on the side. 

GLAZED SPIRAL HAM WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE ON THE SIDE

Mom's favourite. Perfect for a family of 6 to 8. Mom always asks me to make this for her at least once a year. She usually requests this for Thanksgiving because mom is not a turkey person.

EMBUTIDO

This is one of my popular dishes because it can either be served as an appetizer or as a main dish in itself. It's a Philippine style pork meat loaf with chorizo, hard boiled eggs, sweet pickles, and raisins. 

GALANTINA

My grandmother’s recipe of Spanish origin. This Boneless Stuffed Chicken is served cold. It is stuffed with lean ground pork, sausages, mushrooms, and olives. This is our Christmas family tradition. We always have Galantina for either Christmas Eve or Christmas day.

Above is an idea of what you can serve for gatherings. Last Thanksgiving, we had a small gathering. Mom did not want turkey but I wanted some poultry. So, for the main dish, we had Ham with Pineapple Sauce and Galantina and made potato salad on the side. For dessert, we just had Chocolate Flan Cake. It's simple but very filling and all the flavours just complimented each other.
