Authentic ingredients deliver a world tour of craveable cuisine.<\/h2>\n

Authenticity is a powerful word. When it comes to global trends, those that offer \u201cthe real thing\u201d satisfy with a bold flavour experience. This push for high-quality, authentic preparations presents an opportunity to create unique menu items that feature popular nutrition-packed powerhouse ingredients. It covers a broad range of dishes based on cuisines rich in whole grains, fresh produce and aromatic spices. Our featured recipes focus on genuine global flavours with craveable, comfort-food appeal.<\/p>\n

Sauces and condiments<\/h3>\n

These are culinary tools that can be used to elevate dishes and increase menu differentiation. In our recipe for merguez meatballs, a combination of creamy hummus and feta labneh\u2014thick, strained yogurt blended with punchy lemon zest and feta cheese\u2014complement the spicy turkey meatballs, whether they\u2019re served on their own as a shareable snack or piled into fresh pita for a satisfying sandwich. Chimichurri, a traditional Argentinian sauce for grilled meat, combines fresh parsley and cilantro with green onion, garlic, jalape\u00f1o pepper, olive oil and vinegar for a condiment with almost unlimited applications. Here it tops grilled salmon and rainbow carrots for a winning combination, with the bright green herbaceous condiment adding a pop of flavour without overpowering the mild fish.<\/p>\n

Classic dishes<\/h3>\n

Classics like Hawaiian \u201cLoco Moco\u201d score bonus points when they\u2019re streamlined with on-hand inventory. In this case, a blend of basmati rice and red quinoa is topped with a burger patty, a savoury mushroom gravy and a pre-cooked fried egg making it a fast and filling breakfast or lunch option with labour-saving ingredients that are easy to pull through the rest of the menu. Chicken chaufa aeropuerto, a classic Peruvian fried rice dish influenced by the influx of Chinese immigrants to Peru, combines fried rice with chicken, chorizo and a blend of ginger, garlic and scallions. This is a perfect dish to use up leftover basmati rice; next-day rice is easier to fry up golden-brown without becoming greasy.<\/p>\n

Lassi<\/h3>\n

This yogurt-based blended beverage traditional to the Indian subcontinent is meant to provide relief from scorching heat. Its combination of fruit, honey, ice and fresh herbs or spices is refreshing and not-too-sweet. It makes a light breakfast or between-meal snack, and our two versions\u2014spiced banana and cucumber-mint\u2014highlight authentic flavour combinations.<\/p>\n
