Stuck for Christmas Dinner Ideas? Try Potatoes Anna

Christmas Dinner Ideas are harder to come by than any other holiday menu.  Most people have deep traditions when it comes to their Thanksgiving table, but Christmas presents a great opportunity to try new things, new ideas for the coming new year.

 

Let’s start with starch.  Potatoes are high in calories, high in carbohydrates, high in starch and sugars.  For nutritional value, you’re better off with complex grains, but who wants quinoa next to their holiday ham?  No one.  If we want to change something, let’s change the potato.

 

Holiday eating is about fulfillment of the soul, not the food pyramid, and potatoes are great comfort food to many families.  But, instead of the same-old mashed potatoes, how about a new Christmas dinner idea this year, Potatoes Anna?

 

Potatoes Anna gives you the best of both worlds that cooked potatoes have to offer.  Starting with a basic sauté procedure, sliced rinsed and dried potatoes are layered over hot clarified butter.  After a bit of salt and pepper, and more butter, another layer of sliced potatoes are added.  Continue in this fashion until the pan is filled with a daisy-wheel of layered potatoes.

 

After browning the Potatoes Anna in the sauté pan, cover it with a lid or foil and finish the dish in the oven.  This combination of direct source conductive heat along with the indirect convective heat of the oven will give us a new side dish that’s brown and crunchy on the bottom while still soft like mashed potatoes in the middle.

 

You’ll see why this is such a great potato side dish when you invert the sauté pan onto a plate and witness the beautiful plate appeal of browned potatoes atop layers of soft, steaming slices of fragrant goodness.

 

Try something new this year and get away from basic mashed potatoes.  The New Year is coming; it’s time for new traditions, new journeys, exploration and education.  Your search won’t end with this one Christmas dinner idea, but hopefully it’s the start.

The Obama Menu: $10.16 One of the innovations of the Obama campaign of 2008 had a surprising culinary angle. The campaign’s famous fundraising and “person-to-person” dinners took place in people’s homes, in restaurants, and in hotels, and ranged from the humble to the extravagant. The Obama Menu includes not only the menus and dinner plans from these events, but also the stories, first-hand accounts, photographs, and recipes. The result is a unique view of this American candidate for president — from a culinary perspective.

Off the Menu: $25.2 For every dinner service, there is a staff meal. Family-style celebrations prepared by chefs for their crew, the meals are never on the menu, but are designed to show appreciation, provide energy for the evening, and more importantly, please even the pickiest palate. Marissa Guggiana, author of Primal Cuts, the definitive guide to America’s best butchers, turns her attention to the best-kept secret of the restaurant world: what the staff eats for dinner! Marissa has once again traveled the country, this time to bring you behind-the-scenes profiles of the country’s top restaurants, and explore the tradition of the staff meal. Each night, sous chefs, line cooks, waiters, busboys, dishwashers, and managers all gather to eat, socialize, and plan before opening for business. Ranging from small plates to multi-course extravaganzas, from an inspired use of leftovers or entirely new offerings, the concept is simple: a well-fed staff is a happy one. The best chefs in the best restaurants take their limitations–affordability, ingredients, and time–and transcend them to create meals worthy of their compatriots. Marissa has taken the most remarkable, soulful, and mouthwatering of these dishes–from Paul Liebrandt’s Lamb Shepherd’s Pie and John Besh’s Jumbalaya to Zingerman’s Beer and Cheese Soup and Aquavit’s Swedish Veal Stew–and translated them for the home cook. Inside Off the Menu you will find 100 recipes from 50 of the nation’s top restaurants. Each entry includes profiles of the restaurants, Q&As with the chefs, behind-the-scenes trips to the kitchens, and dining out tips, restaurant tricks, and cooking techniques from the cream of the culinary crop. Pull back the curtain on the staff meal, and find new, exciting ways to feed your family from the best in the business. 50 Profiles of America’s Top Restaurants. 50 Interviews with America’s Best Chefs. Behind-the-scenes at America’s best restaurants, featuring tips and tricks from the nation’s best chefs. 100 delicious, affordable, family-style recipes refined for the home cook.

And, they are not just for those who have a large grocery budget. One of the easiestthings to do if you are looking to entertain is to throw a dinner party on a budget.When working on a budget, you will have a smaller list of ingredients to choose from. Forexample, you may be forced to choose from steak or chicken, instead of anything under thesun. Smaller parties are also easier to manage and to plan for.The first thing to do is to make sure the guest list is complete. Do you have enough space foreveryone? Are the people you invite likely to come? You don’t want to invite ten people and onlyhave three show up especially when you buy enough food for ten. When you make your guestlist out, make sure you have enough room to accommodate them as well as the budget to feedthem. It’s true that the less people you have, the better food you can purchase. But at the sametime, you need to consider what is more important to you for your party; a well rounded guestlist or a gourmet meal.After you have the guest list managed, search for a menu that you can work with.

Healthy Hedonist Holidays: A Year of Multi-Cultural, Vegetarian-Friendly Holiday Feasts $1.99 Holidays are a time for family and friends to gather for mouthwatering meals, but catering to every guest’s dietary requirements can be a challenge. The menus in The Healthy Hedonist Holidays will entice every guest — vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, carnivores, omnivores who can’t eat dairy, and people who just love good food — with delicious, satisfying “flexitarian” meals. Featuring fresh seasonal ingredients, whole grains, natural sugars, and creative seasonings, these flavorful feasts will leave guests feeling satisfied — without the guilt that usually accompanies holiday indulgence. Each menu offers both a vegetarian and fish or poultry main course, and a range of side dishes, appetizers, and desserts that can be used in any combination to accommodate individual tastes. Myra Kornfeld’s recipes honor America’s diverse cultural and ethnic heritage. Even if you’re not of Chinese descent, sit down to Sesame Noodles with Wilted Nappa Cabbage and Crispy Five-Spice Tofu with Black Bean Sauce. The traditional flavors of Thanksgiving take on a southwestern flair with a maple sugar-brined turkey accompanied by Mole Gravy with Dried Plums and Ancho Chiles. The Feast of Eid al Fitr explores the flavors of Turkey and Morocco with Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Onions, Cinnamon, Almonds, and Cherries, and Semolina Walnut Cake with Macerated Oranges. A Passover dinner offers herb-flecked matzo balls in a vibrant green spinach soup and a fish terrine studded with asparagus. Christmas dinner turns to the shores of Italy for inspiration with Flounder Roll-ups with Pistachio Pesto and Squash-Portobello Lasagna. With sections on ingredients, techniques, and a cooking plan for each menu, The Healthy Hedonist Holidays is a book to use, to give, and to savor, over and over again.
