Celebrate the magic of the season with a four‑course feast at Blue Aster. From the first sip to the final bite, each dish is crafted to evoke warmth, elegance, and festive spirit. Guests are invited to linger, share, and savor the joy of the holidays in an atmosphere of refined comfort.
Course 1 – Prelude (choose one)
These starters awaken the senses and set the tone for the meal ahead:
Truffle Potato Soup
Creamy potato velouté enriched with black truffle, crowned by bacon lardon and crispy shallot — comforting, earthy, and luxurious.
Spicy Shrimp Cocktail
Chilled shrimp with a bold red zhoug sauce, served with fried saltines, horseradish cream, and a wedge of lemon — lively, spicy, and bright.
Spiced Lamb Meatballs
Tender lamb meatballs in a harissa‑tomato sauce, complemented by an olive-piquillo tapenade — savory, aromatic, and bold.
Little Gem Lettuce
Crisp little gem leaves with green horseradish dressing, pepita praline, sumac onions, and Urfa pepper — fresh, textural, and uplifted.
Course 2 – Intermezzo (choose one)
A delicate, elevated small plate to bridge starter and main:
Winter Squash Ravioli
Housemade ravioli filled with winter squash, in a leek cream sauce with sheep’s milk ricotta and crisp guanciale — rich, silky, subtly sweet.
Bob Woods Ham Croquettes
Golden, tender croquettes of ham, served with fig jam, crème fraîche, and a touch of caviar — elegant, salty-sweet, playful luxe.
Chicken Liver Tartine (optional substitute / alternate choice)
Toasted milk dough topped with chicken liver mousse, black currant jam, Turkish pistachios, and shaved apples — deeply savory with bright contrast.
Course 3 – Main Offering (choose one)
Hearty, expressive mains that reflect seasonal abundance and global sensibility:
Braised Beef Cheek
Slow-braised beef cheek with zhoug, skordalia, toasted pine nuts, pickled onion, paired with semolina flatbread — deeply savory, layered, and comforting.
Smoked Prime Rib
Prime rib smoked to perfection, with braised turnips, pomme Parisienne, an au poivre jus, and winter truffle shavings — classic with elevated touches.
Whole Trout
A whole, delicately cooked trout with salsa verde, embered turnip, and a fresh herb salad — light, herbaceous, and refined.
Lasagna
A festive twist: layered lasagna of braised lamb, lamb jus, whipped labneh, and tomato, for a bold, comforting vegetarian option (or meat-forward option) with depth.
½ Roasted Amish Chicken
Herb-roasted Amish chicken half, with harissa, crisped rice, saffron accents, and roasted carrot purée — warm, aromatic, and soulful.
Charred Cabbage
A vegetarian or side-centric course: cabbage charred to smoky depth, served on Carolina Gold rice, with black garlic toum and dulse crunch — bold umami, texture-forward, vegetal
