  Christmas is once more quickly approaching. It’s time once more to celebrate Noche Buena and Media Noche. This is where we enjoy the food you can mostly eat during holidays. As part of Filipino culture, families assemble for a great Christmas meal. This is where they can indulge in a wide range of wonderfully delectable dishes. Food is always a big part of celebrations in every feast. Most families gather together every once in a while, that is why it becomes more special. It is hard to think and come up with a new recipe to cook for the next holiday. Some may also feel tired of cooking the same recipe and meals every occasion.

  If you are wondering about trying new dishes to cook for upcoming Christmas, this is a sign for you.  This list of food ideas will give you an opportunity to whip up a festive and more creative dish this coming holiday.

  Morcon

  There can be no celebration without a hearty meat dish. It is now the time to level up your Embutido or Cordon Bleu recipe and try something new. The traditional morcon is a Filipino meat roll that contains eggs, sausages, carrots, pickles, and cheese. It is juicy and becomes tangier with savory tomato gravy. But because it is usually made of beef, people mostly make alternative dishes. This dish also became special, because it is mostly available on holidays only. There are easy and budget-friendly ways to make a version of Morcon. Try to use Chicken or Pork in this recipe and make it more savory with cheese filling. This surely can fit to serve anyone. Aside from it, there is also perks of preparing versions of it with a lesser time of preparation.
