have been at our Thanksgiving for the last few years. This year, cast adrift in Brooklyn, Eric asked Addie if they could feast with the stipulation that everything be from scratch.
They shopped all morning wednesday at the farmers market on union square.
Spent most of wednesday reducing poms, making vegetable stock, and drying bread.
Addie's incredible photo stylings make this a must-see for all you people with eyes, mouths and appetites.
Here's their menu (as related to me by Eric):
Turkey with a homemade mint and pomegranate glaze
"Two dozen pomegranates, squeezed for their juice and reduced..."
"(with squeezed oranges to cut the tartiness) to a syrup, then mixed with mint... "
They (only) made a turkey breast since Eric is leaving for Mexico (for work) soon and Addie can't eat an entire turkey on her own.
Cranberry compote
"Since Addie's blackberry compote was a favorite at your house, we tried it with cranberries this year."
Dried cherries and granny smith apple stuffing
"Baked outside the bird, since we're not using a whole bird. To make it flavorful, I made a homemade stock, as well as the breadcrumbs..."
"We spiced it up with lemon, onion, sage, tarragon, mushroom, celery and thyme..."
Garlic rosemary mashed potatoes
"A staple. I use heavy whipping cream instead of milk or butter."
(...which is a reminder to me that next year I will use whipping cream and rosemary, although my slow-roasted garlic kicked ass this year.)
Addie's famous pumpkin pie
Got that? You now have 362 days to get your game together.
