Festive Food Ideas!

As Christmas is fast approaching, be sure to get some of our festive food ideas down before all your friends and family arrive for the holidays!

 We’ve included links to each recipe and ingredient if it piques your interest, but don’t forget our festive food hampers that pack everything you need to create delicious nibbles for a party or gathering.

Start With Smoked Meat Canapés

Start your Christmas holiday feast in style with nibbles featuring delicious smoked meats as the centrepiece like these elegant Smoked Duck Canapés. The rich, smoky flavour of the award-winning smoked duck pairs perfectly with the tart sweetness of our Redcurrant and Port Jelly. These small bites are easy to assemble and look beautifully festive on a platter.

For all those fish-lovers out there, our Smoked Salmon, Lemon and Horseradish Cream Canapé recipe may be better suited to you. These canapés are light, elegant, and easy to prepare, making them ideal for adding a touch of sophistication to the Christmas kitchen rush. Simply combine some Llaeth Y Llan Natural Yogurt, Tracklements’ Horseradish Cream, and a touch of lemon zest in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the Canapé Shells on a serving platter, spoon a dollop of the lemon and horseradish cream into each, and top with a slice of our traditionally smoked salmon. It’s that easy! And all you need is our tapas and Christmas meat hampers.

Dress Up Your Salad With Delicious Smoked Meat

For a refreshing kick to your festive feast, why not try out our Smoked Duck and Roasted Hazelnut Salad. The tangy orange combined with the hazelnut crunch creates the perfect blend of flavour and sweetness. With a drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of orange, this is sure to bring a delightful variety of fun tastes and textures to your meal!

If you’re looking for an impressive centrepiece for your festive feast this year, our Easy Honey Mustard Glazed Ham is sure to do the trick. For the perfect ham recipe: Make a Honey & Mustard Paste with brown sugar, honey and Tracklements’ Dijon Mustard and spread over the ham (featured in most of our Christmas meat hampers), dot with cloves and caramelise with a cook’s blow torch. Or try a Marmalade Glaze made from Seville Orange Marmalade, brown sugar, ground cloves and cider vinegar. This wonderful centrepiece is sure to last into the New Year, leaving plenty of delicious tasting leftovers!

Perhaps our Traditionalliy Oak Roasted Salmon is more to your taste. Whether you prefer it peppered or plain, it pairs perfectly with simple roasted potatoes, fresh dill sauce, and baby beetroot. This quick, ready-to-eat dish promises to deliver effortless satisfaction for everyone at the table.

To wrap up your festive feast in style, indulge in our Angiddy Cheese paired with Black Pepper and Sea Salt Crackers. The rich, creamy softness of warm Angiddy, reminiscent of the finest brie, combined with the subtle spice of the Black Pepper Crackers, is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
