Roast rib of beef, braised onion, boulongere potatoes (?), french peas and lettuce...

Christmas Eve in style

Roast rib - hot oven, season beef, roast for 20 mins per lb plus 20 minutes ... leave to rest

Potatoes - layer thinly sliced potatoes and onions - add garlic and stock - bake

Braise onions in olive oil and loads of red wine, with seasoning, thyme and bay - for ages

Peas - sautee onion, garlic add white wine, peas and shredded lettuce

Start with the beef and work down the list ... prep for the peas, but only add them 5 mins before serving.

I am full!
