Chicken makes a great choice for Christmas as it is one of the more affordable meats. If you don’t normally buy free-range chicken, this is the time to spend a little bit more and get yourself a quality product. A festive flavour is brought in with pine nuts, currants and balsamic vinegar, but if your budget can’t quite stretch that far omit the nuts and use red wine vinegar in place of balsamic. There’s plenty of gravy to serve with steamed new potatoes.
As well as looking as pretty as a picture, this is unbelievably delicious. You can buy edible flowers from specialist food shops, or use flowers from your own garden.
