Holiday Entertaining Menu with Provencal Lamb
David Scott Allen · Provencal Recipes · Seasonal Menus · TasteThis holiday menu is not exclusive to the Christmas season; however, the heavier flavours lend themselves to cooler evenings and Rhone Valley red wine blends. This meal combines some real Provencal classics including garlic aioli, local lamb with herbes de Provence, tomatoes, a hint of Pastis and a not too sweet dessert. If you are planning to entertain during the holidays, this suggested menu is perfect, as many of the items can be made well in advance. (Click on the links to get to the recipes.)
