Unique Ideas for Your Thanksgiving Feast
If ever there were a holiday for feasting, Thanksgiving is it.
This autumnal holiday is known for plenty of traditional dishes, from roasted turkey and stuffing to the obligatory green bean casserole. While we love the nostalgia of traditions, we also like to shake things up a bit. Besides, why not create some traditions of your own?
With Thanksgiving coming up, we’re excited to share some of our ideas for introducing new flavors and ingredients to your holiday table. Whether you’re a host or a guest looking for an impressive holiday dish to bring along, we’ve got some incredible Mediterranean-style recipes to inspire your kitchen creativity this Thanksgiving. Worried about the time and hassle of adding something new to your plate (no pun intended)? We got you. Often all it takes is a few new gourmet ingredients (link) to dazzle your traditional holiday favorites: sun-dried tomatoes, tomato bruschetta, briny olives, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic glaze… some of these may already be in your pantry.
