Classic Danish Christmas food with everything that goes with it. Juicy Danish roast pork (flæskesteg) with crisp crackling, homemade braised red cabbage, gravy made from the roasting juices, brunede kartofler (Danish caramelised potatoes) and a fresh cabbage salad, – everything you need for the perfect Christmas dinner.
For many, the Christmas meal can feel like a lot to take on, – but if you are simply well prepared, it all goes much more smoothly. The red cabbage can be made ahead and reheated, and the fresh cabbage salad can sit in the fridge for several hours before it is served.
The roast pork takes care of itself in the oven, and in the meantime you can boil the potatoes for the caramelised potatoes, get the ingredients ready for the gravy or simply enjoy the peace of Christmas.
Christmas is one of the cosiest times of the year, – not least for all the wonderful food that comes with it. In our house we love December, with all its traditions and quiet moments together.
Here you will find recipes for everything you need for the perfect Christmas dinner, – I hope you will join me.
