Don’t like raisins? No problem! Discover great substitutions for Christmas rice and other typical Christmas dinner recipes.
Farofa with raisins, rice with raisins, raisins for dessert and so on. Although Christmas is a delicious time to enjoy with the family, anyone who can’t stand the dehydrated version of grapes will definitely struggle to get something to eat for dinner.
But, this is very simple to change, you know? If you and your family are on the team that can’t stand the damn raisins, this Christmas your suffering will end.
As you will see below, we have organized a small list of some great substitutions for the “black ones” in Christmas recipes.
The best of all, as you can also see, is that all the substitutions are delicious and, even without the raisin as the protagonist, they will make your dinner wonderful to look at and eat.
Check out 4 great substitutions for raisins:
1. Chestnuts
Unless you have allergies, it’s hard to find anyone out there who complains about having chestnuts on the table, right?
In addition to adding that touch of crunch to the recipe, they are great for decorating Christmas dishes and add an extra, very mild flavor. Because of this, they go well in savory and sweet dishes.
2. Clove
Its flavor is very sweet, like raisins, but its aroma is much more present. A good tip when it comes to Christmas dinner is to stick some carnations in the Tender. In addition to being beautiful, this will make your roast much more tasty and aromatic.
3. Salsa
The good old kitchen acquaintance can also be a star in Christmas dishes. If you don’t like raisins, for example, parsley can be chopped very small and uniform and used as a seasoning and as a garnish for white rice at dinner.
Other colorful vegetables also help to give the rice a more festive look, in addition to making the dish much more elaborate and delicious.
4. Potatoes and lettuce
If the dish is cold, why not opt for lettuce in your decoration? Even turkey, when served on a different dish than the roasting pan, can be decorated with this wonderful leaf. Tomatoes, pomegranate seeds and orange slices also work well in this case.
If you want to please people’s stomachs more than their eyes, round and roasted potatoes are great decorations and complements.
