Festive Roasted Cold Meat Platter for Christmas

Christmas Roasted Cold Meat Platter Recipe Ideas. The perfect family gathering lunch features a delightful assortment of homemade roasted meats and fresh salads. In the lead-up to Christmas, my parents would bake delicious apricot pies and tarts, along with preparing various salads for the holiday celebrations. On Christmas Eve, we enjoyed a hearty dinner or supper that included all the roasted meats, accompanied by roasted potatoes and an array of salads or vegetables. The oven-baked roasts provided a warm and comforting meal for the evening. The meat was carefully sliced, prepared, and set aside for the festive family dinner or lunch. We savored our homemade roasted meats, complemented by their respective gravies or jellies. To top it all off, we indulged in creamy potato salad and, of course, a delightful homemade trifle for everyone to enjoy.

What is the best meat for Christmas roast?

1. Roasted beef.
2. Roasted leg of lamb.
3. Glazed Ham or Gammon.
4. Roasted chicken
5. Roasted turkey.
6. Roasted pork.
7. Roasted pickled beef.

Can I cook my meat the day before Christmas?

Absolutely yes. Roast your meats or poultry the day before and have a warm meal Christmas eve. Cut the roasted meats and poultry and pork into slices for the Christmas lunch. Serve with salads for the week. To keep wrap in cling foil and store in the fridge. Salads like potato salad can be kept the same way. Left overs make delicious light meals. Make condiments to go with the types of meat. Gravies for the sliced meat will warm them up nicely. Or warm up in the oven for a few minutes. Keep meats and salads that can be kept in fridge for the holiday week.

What condiments goes with roasted beef?

English mustards are normally served with beef, even when you roast the meat a mustard rub would make the meat tastier. Another condiment is horseradish sauce or warm gravies

What goes with roast lamb?

Mint sauce or mint jelly. Another refreshing lamb sauce is mint with yogurt.

Put the roasted festive meats together for a cold meat platter for lunches with cold salads.
