Adding Preservative Free Foods to Your Favorite Recipes
With the spotlight on healthy and organic foods, cooking with preservative free foods is what people are looking for. Preservative free foods are foods that contain no preservative additives. Preservatives are often the cause of food allergies and may cause allergic reactions in some people. Using preservative free foods will eliminate the cause of these allergies.
Adding preservative free foods to your favorite recipes is easy. I am going to use naturally smoked or brined smoked foods in my recipes to make exciting changes to already favorites. For example, my favorite recipes for both entertaining and for quick week night include pasta. Pasta with Alfredo sauce is an easy variation that can be changed from using simple frozen shrimp to adding preservative free smoked diver scallops instead. Imagine the flavor difference! As always I tend to add items to my Alfredo from my pantry like sundried tomatoes, pine nuts or basil from the garden.
Pasta recipes are easiest to change up. I love the idea of adding preservative free smoked salmon to any pasta dish. A simple butter sauce with peas, broccoli or asparagus tips will be delicious with a Hungarian style smoked salmon. Less is more when substituting flavorful preservative free smoked foods.
If you are entertaining any time of the year or if you are looking to add some variety to your weekly menus than consider changing your favorite recipe to include artisan preservative free smoked meats and smoked seafood. It’s easy and it will make an impression with your family and friends.
