Christmas Day

On Christmas Day it is tradition that we go to my parents-in-law's house.  We are almost always an hour late and every time we are suprised at how late we are running!  Thank goodness my husbands parents are so sweet about it! 

This is what we were treated to for Christmas Dinner!


Our feast consisted of Prime Rib, Lobster Tails, roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts (did you know that brussel sprouts are actually spelt brussels sprouts?!? I never knew!).

My favorite part of the dinner was the brussels sprouts.  Here is the recipe from my pa-in-law:

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 pounds Brussels sprouts - trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses ***
  • Seeds from 1 pomegranate
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Put the Brussels sprouts in a medium roasting pan; toss with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, about 45 minutes.

Transfer the sprouts to a large bowl and add the pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, hazelnuts, and lime and orange zests. Season with salt as needed.

*** To make the Pom Molasses - In a small pot take 1/2 cup Pom Juice and add a tblspoon of sugar and molasses and reduce over low to medium low heat by half.  Should be syrup like when ready.
