Meal Ideas for your Thanksgiving Spread

The main entree is of course the turkey. Can't do without a bird on the table on thanksgiving. If you don't have the time to prep for this, there is an alternative at the end of this. Halved-potatoes in skin, stuffed with mashed potatoes and bacon. Pansit noodles with shrimps. Baby carrots, asparagus, and brussel sprouts. For dessert, sweet buko pie. I mentioned in the beginning that you can substitute an over-roasted turkey with roast beef for your centre-piece and it will be just as good. This slab of meat will take only 1 hour to cook and for accessories, we include chopped carrots and baby potatoes.

Pork Belly Lechon - a Dish for any Occasion

Ava has come up with another very popular dish - pork belly lechon - served up in traditional banana leaf spread to remind you of home and your favorite lechon sauce. Along with the pork belly lechon, Ava has also an entourage of dishes you can pair up with the above main entree including: Talong (eggplant) with chopped tomatoes and onions Korean noodles (Japchae) and barbecued meat on a stick

Deep Fried Finger Food for the Holidays

Nothing beats deep fried pulutan (finger food) during the holidays. These two especially go well with Canadian whisky. This deep fried shrimp below is dipped in beer batter for the extra taste, before each one is lovingly pan fried in a pool of olive oil. This next one is crispy pata or deep fried pig knuckles. Pre-cook the portions first before deep frying in a pot of olive oil to ensure it is cooked well done. As usual, the secret afterwards is in the sukang pinakurat or highly spiced vinegar as mentioned in this earlier post http://www.lutongpinay.com/2013/01/crispy-pata-for-pulutan.html. Make sure you keep your lifeline medical alert device close by before you dig in. Just saying.
