(NC)—Even professional chefs don't always have time to prepare elaborate meals from scratch. With a few well-chosen essentials in the pantry, it's always possible to create something quick and delicious.
Here are a few “secret ingredients” used by world-renowned Chef Marco Pierre White that you can keep on hand not only for holiday meals, but to simplify your grocery list all year long. Visit knorr.ca for more recipe ideas: Spices Using spices is an easy way to experiment with flavours, and give a lift to soups, marinades and more. A touch of freshly grated nutmeg added to a béchamelsauce or mashed potatoes adds fragrance. A pinch of ground chili will give a whole dish of chili con carne a real kick.
Knorr Homestyle Stock New from Knorr, this jellied stock dissolves quickly and is convenient to use – truly a breakthrough within the broth category. Made with quality ingredients slowly simmered together, it's so simple to add an authentic base flavour to dishes like soups, sauces, rices, stir-fries and stews. Garlic Paste Ready-to-use garlic without the peeling, chopping and washing up. It doesn't have quite the flavour of garlic you crush yourself, but it's a great time-saver. Pesto Sauce A handy kitchen standby. Ideal with pasta but why not spread it on fish or even on beef or lamb? Olive Oil What can't you use it for? Olive oil is great for dressings and pan-frying. Crushing a Knorr beef bouillon cube with olive oil and rosemary also makes a delicious instant rub for steak or meat before hitting the grill. |
