Thanksgiving dinner for Mark’s family went so well, that I’m hoping to be afforded an opportunity to make their Christmas dinner as well. Turkey is so last week, so I thought it’d be “fun” to do a Beef Wellington (I have an idiot-proof recipe that cooks the tenderloin sous vide before wrapping it. Perfect every time!). I’d like to add a little surf, too, but I’m not sure what kind of seafood would compliment the beef. Maybe two main courses separated by a palette cleanser?
And everything else I’m considering seems to have mushrooms! Stuffed, marinated, braised, roasted, gratineed. Would it be too cliché to have a mushroom themed dinner?
I’ve been relentlessly searching the web for recipes for appetizers and side dishes; I’m curious to know if any of you have a special or unique recipe for either that will turn the dinner into something to remember!
