This Christmas Eve, we decided to celebrate a little differently by each of us drawing the name of a country and bringing a dish to share from that selected nation. Some made an adventure out of purchasing ingredients for their dish, and it was fun to make recipes that we’ve never prepared before. We all wondered what each other would bring, and when everyone arrived we ended up with an entire spread of colorful, delicious courses and an array of crockpots.
Our meal consisted of:
A German sauerkraut-like dish dubbed “Rice Rolls”
Lutefisk with mashed potatoes, white gravy and melted butter from Norway
Corn salad with cilantro, guacamole with festive chips, and daiquiris from Mexico
Different types of sushi with wasabi and ginger and shrimp-flavored crackers that looked like a combination of French fries and Cheetos from Japan
French onion soup and wine from France
P. F. Chang’s lettuce wraps to represent China
Italian Bruschetta, ravioli, and Olive Garden salad
Venison cleverly disguised in Swedish meatballs to represent both Native America and Sweden
And Thai chicken and vegetables in peanut sauce from Thailand.
