With the popularity of plant-based menus set to continue and increasing numbers of customers wanting to decrease their consumption of animal products it is essential to cater for these requirements across the foodservice industry.
The new Country Range Vegan Mayo is thick, creamy, and smooth and is the perfect accompaniment to a wide range of dishes.
This issue we have Paul Dickson, Country Range Development Chef who shares five innovative ways to use Vegan Mayo.
- Marinade – Marinade some mayo with garlic and spices, dredge in flower or polenta and coat some pieces of aubergine or courgette. Fry until crisp and serve as a fantastic side!
- Nibbles – Whisk the mayonnaise with mustard, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the asparagus and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature. Grill over a high heat, until the spears are tender and lightly blistered – great to serve with your summer nibbles!
- Canapes – Mix mayo, flour and water until it is a batter consistency. Dip some chunky cauliflower pieces into the batter and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Leave for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs have dried. Deep fry to create some lovely canapés!
- Soup – Add a swirl of mayo to your favourite cool summer soup such as gazpacho for an extra rich, luxurious finish.
- Dressing – Add some to some mustard and yoghurt to the mayo and make a dressing for a fabulous colourful summer salad – as versatile as a standard mayo with the added benefit of being allergen free.
