Mercadona has done it again: this time revolutionizing the culinary world. Yes Dabiz Muñoz went viral a few weeks ago with his special menus for Christmas Day -we are not going to lie that our mouths were watering-, now the supermarket chain moves token and launches various menus for these holidays at prices low cost. Endless proposals perfect for celebrating Christmas without having to spend a lot of time behind the stove and spending a fortune for the occasion.
Mercadona and its complete menu for Christmas day
Whether due to lack of time, lack of desire or convenience (and practicality), this “menu” consists of several dishes for all tastes. In all cases, the value for money is more than served, far removed from the price of the renowned Spanish chef’s Christmas menu.
The starters arrive in the form of canapés
Guests arrive home early and you have nothing ready to serve. What’s more, the night before the furor (or panic) due to the arrival of the Christmas season caused your crochet reserves to run out. No problem: the supermarket chain launches a canapé tray of nine different Sabers (18 units in total).
Ready to eat, these are filled with: cheese with salmon and dill, cream of sobrassada with honey and pine nuts, Stilton cheese and crispy mango, mixture of cheeses with figs, cream of beef roast beef with cheese, foie gras and caramelized apple with spun egg, humus, truffle flavor cream cheese and jerky shavings, and cod brandade with black olive pâté.
