This year, let’s explore unique additions that will excite your palate and impress your guests.

Moving beyond the usual, consider vibrant flavors and textures to complement your main courses.

A standout dish for any festive table is Brussels Sprouts with Hot Honey and Pancetta.

• Prep: Halve the sprouts and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender-crisp.
• Finish: Meanwhile, crisp up diced pancetta. Combine the roasted sprouts with the pancetta and a generous drizzle of hot honey just before serving. The spicy-sweet glaze offers a beautiful contrast to the savory meat and slightly bitter vegetable.

These unexpected dishes add depth and excitement, ensuring your holiday meal is remembered for its innovation, not just its tradition.
