These meat dishes would be a welcome addition to any Christmas feast. You can choose to prepare one, two or all three.

Coconut-lemongrass Baked Pork

Baked meat dishes like this one eliminate the need to make a gravy or sauce to accompany the meat. With this recipe, the sauce can be served as is with the curds from the coconut milk or it can be strained or pureed in a blender to emulsify, becoming and a smooth, creamy, highly flavourful sauce.

For the flavour of this dish to come through, an overnight marinade is recommended.
