Calder Foods has just launched two new Love Fresh vegan and vegetarian dishes, Barbeque Pulled Jackfruit and Tofu Tinga filling.
The pulled jackfruit in a thick, smoky bbq sauce is a great alternative to pulled pork. It can be served on top of a plant-based burger with spinach and melted vegan cheese melted, or in a crunchy tortilla with couscous, salsa and vegan cheese. It can also be served as a pizza topping, or mixed with sweet potato mash to make potato cakes with a difference. The jackfruit comes in 1kg packs, one per case.
The Tofu Tinga filling, also packed one x 1kg, is shredded tofu with kidney beans and chickpeas in a Mexican-style spicy tinga sauce. Tofu is no longer just a meat substitute for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, and has gained approval from flexitarians looking for the occasional meat-free meal.
Tofu Tinga makes a spicy filling for a roasted pepper, and is equally tasty on top of a tostada with vegan mayonnaise, diced avocado, chopped tomato and red onion. Cannelloni shells can be filled with Tofu Tinga then baked covered with spicy tomato sauce and grated Mexican cheese.
