Welcome to Coriander's Fine Foods and Catering

Thanksgiving Menu 2009

For ten years, Coriander's has been Wilmington and Hampstead's #1 Thanksgiving Dinner Provider!  We've prepared part or all of that holiday meal for literally hundreds of families to rave reviews and repeat business.  We attribute our success to the fact that we make everything from scratch, just like Grandma would if she hadn't taken up golf!  All items come with heating instructions.  And don't forget the chocolate bourbon pecan pie!

To order, call us at (910) 270-3413.  Orders must be placed by Saturday, November 21 at 3 pm  for pickup on Wednesday, November 25 before 5:00 pm.  Visa and MasterCard are accepted, as well as personal or business checks.  For delivery information or other special requests, just ask!

Appetizers and Munchies:

Sausage, Apple and Vermont Cheddar Loaf:  A heat and eat treat that your guests will talk about all year!  A 14-inch loaf of puffed pastry stuffed with pork sausage, Granny Smith apples and Vermont cheddar cheese.  A great item to keep in your freezer for unexpected guests, it makes a great brunch, lunch or hors d'oeuvres.  $18 each.

Five-Spice Pecans:  Our 5-spice pecans are phenomenal!  Slightly sweet, slightly spicy.  $8.50/pint, $16.00/quart.

Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail for a Crowd:  Four pounds of 16/20 poached shrimp with our red mustard sauce and fresh lemon.  Approximate 72 pieces of some of the best shrimp you have ever had.  $75.00

Creamy Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms:  Who doesn’t love stuffed mushrooms?  Theses are the best!  $12/dozen

Coriander's Crab Cakes:  Our 1.5 ounce jumbo lump crab cakes ready to heat and eat, and serve with our key lime mustard sauce.  $3.50 each or $40 per dozen

Warm Mushroom Dip:  This dip is made with five varieties of fresh and dried mushrooms, with shallots, a hint of veal demi glace and a dash of heavy cream.  Crisps are sold separately, or enjoy with your favorite cracker.  $11/pint.

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread:  Our most popular bread is back!  Makes a great gift and freezes beautifully.  2# loaf is $9.50

The Bird
Coriander's is happy to cook your turkey!  We have fully cooked boneless turkey breast for sale.  these moist, juicy birds have no waste, are easy to carve and weigh an average of 8 pounds each.  We include a disposable pan for reheating, as well as instructions.$48 each.

Side Dishes
Butternut Squash Soup:  Made with our own home made turkey stock, a hint of apple and a dash of Madras curry.  This soup has a beautiful creamy texture without the addition of any dairy products.  It is a memorable lunch or an unbeatable first course.  $12/quart

Acorn Squash, Sausage and Wild Rice Soup:  Delicious and gluten free!  $12/quart

Cranberry Sauce:  Whole-berry cranberries with fresh orange zest and a splash of Gran Marnier.  You'll never go back to the canned stuff!  Remember to get enough for leftovers and sandwiches!  $8/pint

Creamed Onions:  This dish has been a Thanksgiving tradition in my family for generations -- Grandma took fresh pearl onions, blanched them and then cooked them in a savory cream sauce.  These are a beatiful complement to the cranberry sauce!  $6/half pint

Julienned Mixed Vegetables:  A colorful mix of seasoned shoestring carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, red pepper and red onion that you can heat in your microwave or quickly saute until they're hot enough for you.  One quart feeds six to eight people.  $12/quart

Aunt Muriel's Brussel's Sprouts:  You can make a believer out of the worst sprout critic at the table with one bite of these delicious veggies.  Made with shallots, pine nuts, and a touch of cream, these are absolutely the best Brussel's sprouts we've every had.  One quart should feed 6-8 people -- but they're bound to want seconds!  $14/quart

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:  We do these potatoes the old-fashioned way -- then add a subtle dash of roasted garlic -- and everybody loves 'em.  Make sure you get enough.  One quart feeds 3-4 full grown folks.  $10/quart

Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing:  With or without pecans, this stuffing has become our Southern tradition.  Comes in a foil pan that can go right into the oven, or you can stuff the bird with it.  We offer two sizes:  A 2# pan will feed approximately 6 adults or stuff a 10-12# bird for $12.50.  For larger birds, we also offer a 5# pan for $28.  Please let us know if you want pecans or not when you place your order.

Gravy:  Our turkey gravy is just divine -- no lumps, no fuss, great flavor!  In my family there's alot of jockeying for position to be the one to control the gravy! $9.75/pint

Desserts
And by desserts, of course, we mean pie!  All of our pies are 9-inch deep dish.

Old-Fashioned Double-Crusted Apple Pie:  Just like grandma used to make!  Mile-high and packed with sweet, juicy, North Carolina apples.  $18 each

Traditional Pumpkin Pie:  with just the right amount of fresh ginger and molasses.  $16 each

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie:  Do not accept substitutions!  This is, by far, our most popular pie, and we only make it at Thanksgiving.  Other's have tried to duplicate it, but you've got to try the real thing to believe it.  $18 each
