To celebrate the holiday, we created a memorable menu that is sure to impress your guests. Begin the meal with an elegant appetizer of plump, briny oysters on the half-shell paired with tangy green apple and horseradish slaw, and pour sparkling wine alongside. A simple salad of sweet-sour blood oranges, anise-scented fennel and crunchy hazelnuts is as beautiful as it is delicious. The centerpiece of the meal is a pork loin roasted with the skin on, which ensures delectable flavor and crisp crackling. For accompaniments, we suggest maple-glazed root vegetables and a rich mushroom-potato gratin. End the feast with the ultimate Christmas dessert: a showstopping bûche de Noël cake.
