Christmas and New Year celebrations are moments of togetherness and sharing, where food plays a central role.

With ONI products, it’s easy to create dishes that delight the senses and make these occasions unforgettable.

Let’s explore festive recipes using our selection of quality meats, fruits, vegetables and wines.

A Christmas classic: Roast turkey with fresh vegetables

Roast turkey is one of the most iconic Christmas dishes. With ONI’s quality poultry, the result is a memorable meal.

How to prepare the perfect turkey:

Choosing the bird: Turkey is renowned for its succulence and texture. Make sure to defrost it completely before starting the preparation.
Special marinade: Season with garlic, lemon, fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme, salt, pepper and XPTO white wine. Leave to marinate for 12 to 24 hours to intensify the flavours.
Slow cooking: Stuff the inside with apples, oranges and onions to keep the moisture in. Bake at 180°C, initially covering with aluminium foil to prevent drying out. In the last 30 minutes, remove the foil to brown the skin.

Side dishes that shine
Combine the turkey with rustic potatoes and broccoli. Add a white wine and butter sauce to take the dish to the next level.

Sophisticated starters - cheese and fruit tray

A well put together tray is the perfect choice for welcoming guests with elegance. With ONI’s creamy dairy products and fresh fruit, you can create irresistible combinations.

Assembling the perfect tray:

Variety of cheeses: Include options with different textures, such as brie, gouda and cheddar, available from the ONI dairy range.
Fresh and dried fruit: Add grapes, figs, dried apricots and sliced apples to bring sweetness and freshness to the set.
Complements: Add walnuts, almonds, honey and biscuits to create a balance between the flavours.

Pairing tip
Serve with XPTO rosé wine, whose notes of raspberry and rose petals delicately complement the cheeses and fruit.

Special dessert: Fruit with wine

A light and sophisticated dessert, perfect for rounding off celebrations with a refreshing touch.

Fruit and spices

Use pears or other fresh, juicy ONI fruit as a base.
Dip the fruit in XPTO red wine with spices such as cinnamon, cloves and star anise.

Preparation and presentation

Cook the fruit slowly in the wine until soft.
Serve in individual glasses, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
