Delicious and budget friendly Christmas lunch ideas
Here are five ideas to help you stretch your Rand a little further while still putting on a spread worthy of the Christmas table.
Christmas banquets are a sure-fire way to blast your holiday bonus.
Instead, here are five ideas to help you stretch your Rand a little further while still putting on a spread worthy of the Christmas tabel:
Minty peas and homemade fish fingers (See recipe here)
Jamie Oliver kicks off our list, taking a new spin on traditional fish fingers and finishing with something better than boiled peas.
Even better, this recipe won’t break the bank.
Pork tenderloin (See recipe here)
Spending money on a pork roast can be expensive, so why not use other cuts of meat, such as tenderloin, which is a versatile piece of meat?
Serve with mashed potatoes or the minty peas mentioned above.
Crockpot spaghetti (See recipe here)
This simple tomato sauce recipe isn’t limited to spaghetti and meatballs; use it in a variety of dishes.
Using a crockpot allows you to focus on something else while it cooks.
Cider, garlic and thyme roasted chicken (See recipe here)
The only real cost of this dish is 330ml of cider, which isn’t much to pay for in exchange for a tasty roast bird.
When you use the leftovers from a roast chicken, you have a winner.
Meringue-topped sweet potato casserole (See recipe here)
We love this recipe because it makes use of sweet potatoes, but we also love this recipe because it’s super festive.
The addition of meringue and pineapple make for a decadent finish to the meal.
