Each year, Christmas Day sneaks up on us which can make it more difficult to organise everything in order to have the best day possible. We have put together a list of ideas that should help you have a less stressful and more enjoyable Christmas event this year. Cooking tips Time saving tips › When cooking your potatoes, using duck fat will help to give you very crispy, extra delicious potatoes. › Sharpen all of your knives including the carving knife prior to Christmas Day which will make cutting, peeling and carving so much easier. › To get the most divine crackling on your roast pork, rubbing a coarse salt into the skin will put you well on your way to great crackling with our Berkshire Pork. › Pre-cook your vegetables until they are ¾ done and then place them in iced water to keep them fresh overnight. Then on Christmas Day, cook them until heated through. › When cooking a turkey, a great idea is to place butter under the skin of the breasts as this will help ensure the driest part of the turkey retains moisture. You can flavour the butter with herbs such as thyme or orange zest. › After you have finished cooking a turkey, it is important to let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to settle which will moisten the flesh. › Roast a goose without an oven bag if it is younger than 12-14 weeks. › If storing your turkey in the fridge before Christmas, keep it in a plastic bag so that the juices don’t drip onto the rest of the food in your fridge. › Cook your turkey upside down for the first half of cooking time and then turn it upright. This will ensure that it will be brown all over. Visit our website at: www.feastfinefoods.com.au/tips-ideas/ for more great Christmas ideas and recipes. › If you are having a big family event, sit down a few weeks before the big day and plan the food that you want to serve and who will be cooking it. This way it will reduce the amount of stress on the party host if everyone attending contributes to the cooking. General tips › Christmas Day is not a day to start a diet, so cater generously! › If you buy a turkey when it is frozen, it can take up to 2-3 days to thaw completely. › Place your Christmas order as soon as possible to avoid the disappointment of products not being available. › When carving a turkey, remove the thighs and wings before slicing the breast. See our website for step by step instructions with pictures, for how to carve your Christmas turkey and ham. Information on our locations can be found at the back of our catalogue.

Approximate Weight: 1kg. Ham Selection Tips The vast majority of boneless ham sold each Christmas is made from imported pork and labelled “Made in Australia”. The true blue hams are “Product of Australia” and have the licensed “Australian Pork” logo. If you are unsure ask your butcher. A ham is a product that generally keeps well for many days after Christmas, which is an ideal snack for adults and children alike. To keep your ham fresh, it should be stored in a ham bag or pillowcase. The ham bag should be rinsed in cold water with a little bit of vinegar and then wrung out and repeated every few days which will help keep the ham tasting its best. Ham will store better as a whole piece rather than sliced, therefore it is best to only cut the required amount of ham as you need it. For a glazed ham, look for a product that has a bit more fat on the leg. They will generally remain more moist during baking which will result in a better finished product. Ham Cooking Tips If you decide to cook your own ham, you should first remove the rind up to 15cm from the shank end of the ham. At this stage you should also remove any excess fat. A ham on the bone is a cooked ready to eat product, so when glazing a ham to serve hot you are really only reheating the product to “glaze” the ham to an appetising colour. Glazing a ham with sweet products such as sugar, honey or maple syrup will put you well on your way to a delicious looking ham. Continually checking your ham when it is in the oven after applying a glaze is important because the glaze can easily burn at high temperatures. Glazed hams are best done at lower temperature for a longer time. Christmas Turkey A traditional turkey provides the perfect centrepiece for a family feast at Christmas. All turkey products on our order form are freerange which helps to ensure that you will receive a tender and juicy turkey for your Christmas meal.

Limited edition, rare breed turkeys are available by order in store this Christmas! We also have a wide range of recipes available in store or on our website! Turkey When considering how much turkey you need, the following guide is a good rule of thumb. This doesn’t allow for leftovers, so adjust accordingly if you want extra per person! › › › › Cook ing Tips For a whole turkey on the bone, allow about 400g per person. For a turkey buffet (breast on bone) allow approximately 300g per person. For boneless turkey be that breast roll or thigh roll, allow approximately 250g per person. If feeding an army of people, you will get a better, tastier result with two 5kg birds rather than a 10kg bird. The smaller birds are likely to cook through much better and more evenly than the larger bird which is likely to suffer from dry, over cooked breasts, while the thighs remain underdone. Preparation of a Turkey Cooking time for a whole Turkey › Fresh turkey should be stored at or below 3 degrees if possible. If your fridge is opened constantly, it is better to pick up your turkey closer to Christmas Day. › If purchasing a frozen bird of approximately 5kg, allow 2-3 days defrost time in the fridge. › Rinse your bird well and pat dry with paper towel to freshen the appearance of the turkey. › If you are not stuffing your bird, introducing some aromatics to the cavity such as thyme, cut lemon, parsley, onion or garlic can add a new dimension of flavour. › To ensure moist well flavoured breast meat, consider a flavoured butter to add between the meat and skin. Try the following simple recipe or make up your own: › Many people complain of overcooked and dry tasteless turkey. As mentioned above, stuffing the cavity with aromatics and using a flavoured butter under the skin will introduce plenty of additional flavour and help keep the meat moist. Being Christmas, don’t hesitate in using up to 500g of butter on a 5-7kg bird! › A meat thermometer is a good and very cheap investment for use when cooking a turkey. The perfect internal temperature for a turkey thigh is 80°c. › Stephanie Alexander, perhaps Australia’s premier food writer and cook, suggests for a whole bird, 35 minutes per kilo at 180°c plus 15 minutes extra. When the turkey thigh internal temperature is 75°c, it is cooked to perfection and ready for resting for approximately 30 minutes. › Fresh thyme and some quartered lemon in the baking dish will give extra flavour to your bird and the gravy. Adding the neck to the baking dish will also add flavour to the gravy. 300g unsalted butter, rind of a lemon, tablespoon or two of lemon juice, ground pepper to taste, a tablespoon or two of chopped fresh thyme. Mix softened butter together with all ingredients and insert gently under the breast skin. This can be done ahead of time. Roasting Tips For Turkey Breast Rolls. › For roasting a breast roll, 30 minutes per kg at a temperature of 200°c should be sufficient. The perfect internal temperature is 72°c when cooked. › Ovens vary as does the thickness of joints so these are guides only and the use of a meat thermometer will remove the guess work from when it is ready. › The old time tested piercing of the thickest part of your roast and checking the colour of the juices which run out is also a good guide. Juices of a done turkey will run clear. Pink or red indicates under-done, no juices are a sure sign your bird is over-done. › Rest your breast roll for approximately 20 minutes, loosely covered before carving. Christmas Pork Berkshire Free-Range Pork is the “King” of pork when it comes to juiciness and flavour, which is sourced from a network of growers in South Australia.

Pork Cook It should be noted that it is perfectly safe to serve pork medium rare if desired. Pork is possibly at its best, being succulent, juicy and delicious, when served medium. There is absolutely no reason to overcook pork to a dry and unappetising well done as you will lose some of the best qualities of your piece of pork. › The safe internal temperature for pork is 63-69°c. › For calculating the cooking time of your rack, loin or leg of pork, allow 30 minutes per 500g. If you use a stuffing on any of these joints, the weight is taken after stuffing. › For delicious crackling ensure the rind is dry. This is best achieved by removing it from any plastic wrappings and placing the pork uncovered on a plate in the fridge for a couple of hours prior to roasting. Final drying can be achieved by patting well with paper towel. › Ensure your pork rind has been scored (this is done at the store usually) and rub in some delicious Murray River Pink Salt Flakes. › Have your oven pre-heated to 220°c. › Start you pork roast in the oven at 220°c and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, this initial burst of high heat gets the crackling going and is the most important › › › › ing Tips step in achieving good crackling. We all understand the oven can be a busy place at Christmas but this is an important step and other baking should be timed so that you can achieve this. Reduce the heat to 170°c and continue with the remainder of the cooking time. If you do not have a cooking thermometer, the best test for doneness is when the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a fine skewer. As with all grilled or roasted meats it is advised that you rest your pork roast for at least 15 minutes before carving. When resting, do not cover the pork as it will spoiling the crackling. Simply rest in a warm place. If making a pan gravy, pour off excess fat. This fat can be kept for delicious roast potatoes to accompany your leftovers on the days after Christmas! Cryovacing & Brining What is Cryovacing? What is Brining? Cryovacing is the process of removing all air from a specially designed plastic bag through the use of a vacuum sealing process. This process allows meat products to be kept fresher for longer through storage in a refrigerator. As all oxygen is removed, this can temporarily cause something called ‘confinement odour’ when the bag is first opened, however the product is perfectly fine. This odour will subside normally within 20 minutes which will vary depending on the product that is being stored. This process is commonly used with ham and turkey products amongst others. If you are in any doubt, a Feast! staff member can assist with your enquiries. Brining is a process which is commonly used to cure a range of meat products. The main ingredients used are generally salt and water with other secret flavours such as honey added depending on the product being used. This process means that the meat product soaks up some of the moisture which will change the texture of the product. At Feast! the most common product that uses a brining mix at Christmas is our Berkshire pickled pork loin and is also part of the first process when making hams. Duck Duck is a half twist on your traditional Christmas turkey. Roasting ducks are a perfect size for smaller gatherings. Duck breasts and duck marylands provide an alternative if you are looking to cook a specific meal for you and your guests. Roast Duck with Cherry Stuffing Duck Breast Fully cooked whole boneless duck stuffed with dark Morello cherries. Can be served hot or cold. Approximate weight: 700g. A perfectly modern way to change up a Christmas lunch is to serve a seared duck breast with your choice of salad. Approximate weight: 180g-250g each. Free-Range Roasting Duck Duck Marylands We source our free-range ducks from South Australia’s leading growers to the restaurant trade. Like the goose, these are a smaller bird that can take the place of the traditional turkey if you want something different for your Christmas feast. Sizes: 1.5kg-2.5kg. Suited to roasting, duck marylands are just the thing for a confit duck or something that can be prepared days before Christmas, allowing the busy cook to spend more time with the family on Christmas Day. Approximate weight: 180-250g each. Duck Cooking Tips › When roasting, place the duck on a rack in a baking tray so the fat can drain freely. › Never stuff the cavity of a whole duck as this prevents hot air entering the duck cavity. › A few herbs or the zest of an orange placed inside the cavity will help in building a pleasant aroma and also add to the flavour when cooking. › Flavours that work with duck include cherries, orange, honey, walnuts, soy sauce, sherry and thyme. Place your Christmas orders now using the Order Form in the catalogue or collect one at any Feast! store. Glazed Ham Recipe There are many variations on the ingredients for a ham glaze but all usually contain something sweet (sugar, honey, maple syrup). These are the ingredients which give your ham the glazed or burnished appearance. Something sour (citrus juice and/or zest, vinegar, wine, cider) is for flavour and balance, otherwise the glaze would be sickly sweet. Finally, some spice is a perfect addition to your recipe. Spice and Christmas have a very long association and spices at Christmas are still seen today, not only in the glaze for hams but in plum puddings and Christmas cakes. You can try the recipe below, the sugar can be replaced with maple syrup if desired and the studding of the ham with cloves can be omitted and a half teaspoon (taste the glaze, you may like more) of ground cloves mixed in the glaze instead, or replace with half ground cloves and half ground pimento. Once upon a time the glazed ham looked more like a Christmas tree and was decorated with sliced oranges, pineapple rings, more spices than the pudding and would have been rather sickly to modern tastes! Some of the old flavours in moderation can work such as some pineapple juice or apricot or cherry nectar but keep it simple and chose a single flavour rather than mixing it all up. Ingredients Grated zest and juice of an orange 2 tablespoons of mustard (Dijon if available) ¼ cup of soft brown sugar Whole cloves (if studding the ham) or half a teaspoon of ground cloves and half a teaspoon of ground pimento (if not studding the ham) 1 cooked leg ham ½ Cup – 1 Cup of good quality apple cider Method › Pre-heat oven to 180°c. › Mix the orange zest and juice, mustard, ground spices (if using) and soft brown sugar in a bowl. › Remove the rind from the leg of ham (leaving behind the fat) and score the fat in a diamond pattern. › If using the whole cloves, press a clove into the centre of each diamond, this looks very pretty when presenting the ham. › Brush the ham with half the glaze and place in the baking dish. › Pour in the apple cider. This has two functions, it imparts beautiful flavour as it steams the ham and also stops too much of the glaze burning on the bottom of the baking dish. › Bake for approximately 40 minutes basting with the remaining glaze once or twice. If the ham has not achieved a beautiful dark shiny glaze in 40 minutes, leave it a little longer until it has done so, remembering to keep an eye on it.

All birds, whether fresh or frozen, are grown for the Christmas market and processed fresh during late December. › Geese are different in appearance and cookery methods to a turkey or chicken, some find them a challenge to cook just right and it is true that they do not yield as much meat as their size would suggest. › A goose usually weighs between 2.5-4kg and you should allow a 3kg bird to feed 4 people, certainly much less than a similar sized chicken or small turkey. This makes a goose ideal for a small gathering of gourmets who are searching for something a little different. Goose Roasting › Before cooking, remove any excess pads of fat from within the bird. These can be kept and rendered to produce wonderful goose fat for roasting potatoes or to store in the freezer for your next confit making session. › Rinse and pat dry your goose and then prick it all over with a skewer or something similar. Try to avoid penetrating the flesh and pierce the thick fat layer only. This can all be done ahead of time, plated and refrigerated until required. › A goose may be stuffed and in European cultures more often than not is. The Germans like apple, chestnut and red cabbage, English prefer apple and sage with perhaps pork sausage. › Season your goose with salt and pepper. Preheat you oven to high (around 240°c). › Place the goose in the hot oven, breast side up for 15 minutes then turn the oven down to 180°c and continue roasting. › All up your goose will require approximately 15 minutes per 500g. › To check whether the goose is cooked, a meat thermometer once again is a great investment. The internal temperature when checked at the thigh should read 70°c. › Rest your goose for 20 minutes before carving. Looking for something for a special occasion?

Free-Range Roasting Goose Game Bird Cooking & Selection Tips The Christmas goose is making a comeback and with good reason. Goose is a more suitable size for smaller family gatherings. Goose is also a succulent, juicy and tender bird which makes a perfect addition to your Christmas celebration. Sizes: 2.5-4kg. › Goose - When purchasing a goose, you should always try to purchase from a reputable retailer that has knowledge of how the product was raised. As with all meat products, free-range products generally provide a more delicate flavour. When cooking a goose, make sure that you use a deep pan and a roasting rack as there will be a lot of fat that will render off the bird. Pheasant According to Maggie Beer who is renowned for her knowledge of this bird, “Pheasant is a sweet, moist and delicious meat which is not as strongly flavoured as duck or pigeon”. Weight: Approximately 900g. Quail (6 Pack) Quail has a delicate texture and a sweet nutty flavour. They are quick and easy to cook and suit a wide range of accompanying flavours. Approximately 1kg per pack of six. › Pheasant - What is different about pheasant is that it doesn’t have as much fat as other meats which means that it is more likely to dry out. To compensate, you can use butter mixed with herbs that can be stuffed under the skin to keep it juicy. › Quail - These birds cook well on a slow barbecue. Because they are small, they cook easily and their skin caramelises well using this method.

Here we provide you with some ideas on using your leftovers to create a whole new meal. Ham › Left over ham is popular with almost everyone and can be utilised for quick snacks from ham and cheese toasties to ham and goat’s cheese soufflés. › Ham makes a delicious and lean alternative to bacon for breakfast when you have time for eggs and ham or omelettes. › Frittatas with leftover roast vegetables and ham are great for Boxing Day picnics or informal gatherings with friends and family. › If the weather cools, a simple soup with ham and split peas or lentils is satisfying and a pleasant alternative to the rich foods of the season. › If you have a get-together to attend and are required to bring a dish for sharing, a ham mousse is easily put together with cooked ham. Old fashioned but surprisingly tasty. Turkey and Chicken › Cooked turkey and chicken make a delicious risotto. All that is required in addition is arborio rice and parmesan cheese. A stock can simply be made with the bones, some fresh vegetables and herbs. › As with ham, a delicious frittata can be made with left over poultry. › Use poultry for simple soups with seasonal vegetables. Make stock with bones from the roast. › Stir-fried rice and noodle dishes are even easier when utilising left over poultry or pork, just add fresh vegetables, noodles and stir-fry with your preferred sauce. › Easy and delicious, mix shredded poultry with fresh parsley and mayonnaise for a delicious sandwich filling. › Neat slices of turkey, chicken, pork or ham are wonderful in the days after Christmas when friends drop by unannounced. A simple green salad and vinaigrette completes the meal, maybe some roast root vegetables if the weather cools. Product Storage › If storing leftover poultry such as turkey, chicken, goose or duck, it is best to remove the meat from the bones. This will help to maintain the taste of these products for a longer period. › Pack any poultry meat in plastic containers with lids. This will extend the shelf life of the products when stored correctly in the refrigerator. › As mentioned earlier, the only product you should keep on the bone when storing is your Christmas ham. This results in less of the ham surface being exposed which helps maintain the freshness and moisture of the whole ham when stored in a ham bag or pillowcase. Feast! FINE FOODS has a very simple aim.
