The fruit is macerated for a day in sugar and vinegar to allow all the flavours to develop. And unlike similar condiments of this type, there’s absolutely no cooking involved!

Braised Vegetables and Chorizo
Say hello to the perfect holiday table vegetable side. It’s a real favourite of ours. And as was the case for our stuffing, this dish is very convenient when the oven is over-stuffed: The vegetables cook in a little broth directly in the pan. You can even prepare it in advance and reheat at the last minute.

Beet, Pomegranate and Red Cabbage Salad
This is a no-cook accompaniment designed with less kitchen time in mind. In the salad, everything (red cabbage, yellow beet and carrot) is finely grated. It’s also a combination that’s colourful, chock full of flavour and extremely easy to make.
-
Potato and Caramelized Onion Gratin
Timing an elaborate meal is tricky, but we have a tasty cheat for mashed potatoes: Transform them into a gratin by spreading caramelized onions over them and topping with cheese. Prepare the day before and slide into the oven for a few minutes before serving. Our prediction? This super side dish will steal the spotlight.

Sautéed Greens with Red Wine Reduction
For a side that will make your guests green with envy, we thought outside the box to create this combination of broccoli, kale and green beans with a mulled wine-inspired reduction. The combination is as unique as it is delicious—not to mention decidedly festive.
-
Cream of Pea Soup with Pesto Oil
This silky soup can easily be prepared ahead of time and frozen. On the day of, add the cilantro garnish just before serving. It’s especially cozy ladled into small mugs—perfect for fireside sipping.
-
Cream of Asparagus and Basil Soup with Cottage Cheese Toast
It may be the colour of the Grinch, but this silky cream of asparagus is anything but stingy: it’s rich in fibre, a key component in helping people with diabetes regulate their blood sugar levels.
-
Farfalle Salad with Apple, Cranberry and Feta
This fresh take on a potluck staple gets its tangy flavour (and festive colouring) from a combination of diced apple, red onion and chopped arugula. It has family favourite written all over it!
