We usually have a few friends over for Thanksgiving and cook a big meal. This year, we did it all paleo with dairy! The menu was:
Appetizers:
* Marinated olives
* Crudite and shrimp with green goddess dip
* Parrano cheese with grape jam (really good!)
Main course:
* Brined turkey
* Mixed mushroom and tarragon gravy
Sides:
* Bourbon walnut sweet potatoes
* Cranberry sauce in port wine with cinnamon
* Smoked paprika broccolini with almonds
* Cauliflower and mushroom stuffing
Dessert:
* Pumpkin pie
* Flourless chocolate cake
Everything came out really good! We ended up with very few leftovers, and lots of people went back for seconds, which made me happy. :) It was definitely the best turkey we've ever done--brining is the way to go. I even had one guest tell me it was the best Thanksgiving food he'd ever had.
Where did you find/how did you make the grape jam?
ReplyDeleteIs that paleo?
The jam I got in my CSA box as a gift in the last shipment; it was someone's local homemade. It's paleo in that it has no "bad" ingredients, but since it's essentially all sugar it's not an everyday food. That's probably the first time we'd had jam in a year!
