Thanksgiving
Turkey, 1961 Photo Roy Lichtenstein
Thanksgiving, the American Holiday we love most, is November 23rd.
Let Shop The River Cafe cook the meal for you.
To begin, choose between:
Poached Scottish Langoustines
Pumpkin, Chestnut and Faro Soup
Insalata di Puntarelle
Gnocchi alla Romana, parmesan and sage
The Turkey is traditional but with an Italian influence. Our free-range bird is brined for 24 hours, ready to be roasted with myrtle, bay and sage from our garden.
The Stuffing is a recipe from a Tuscan friend: Italian Bread Stuffing with chestnuts, fennel and pancetta.
Vegetables you can order:
First-of-the-season Cavolo Nero, braised in Selvapiana Olive Oil
Wood-roasted Violino Pumpkin with rosemary
Roseval Potatoes 'al forno'
Roast Sweet Potatoes with marjoram and chilli
Braised Cime di Rapa
Finally, from the River Cafe Pastry Kitchen, traditional Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie with maple syrup.
All of the dishes can be ordered individually.
Celebrate this Thanksgiving feeling rested, relaxed and, most of all...
Thankful.
