Condiments Can Help a Chef to Dress-Up Everyday Fare
By working with experts within the marine catering industry, professionals in on board management seek to provide members of a cargo ship’s crew with healthful meals. Of course, when the same dishes get served over and over, their appeal diminishes. Obviously, the most healthful dish fails to deliver all of its benefits, if crew members place only a small amount of the dish’s well-prepared ingredients on their plates. For that reason, marine catering companies ought to provide the chef on each catered ship with a way to enhance an all-too-familiar dish. Fortunately, a cargo ship’s ability to visit ports in various regions of the world manages to facilitate completion of that particular task. Consequently, a maritime catering company should arrange for each chef’s pantry to contain at least a few of the following condiments.
Sauces that can dress-up everyday fare
Even though an expert in victualling management may not know how to pronounce “Tkemali,” that fact should not keep the same professional from ordering shipment of that same sauce to designated catered vessels. Residents of Georgia use Tkemali sauce in the same way that a majority of Americans use ketchup. Because that free-flowing condiment features a combination of both sweet and sour tastes, it works wonders on grilled meat or poultry. Indeed, that blend of plum, garlic, dill, chili pepper, pennyroyal, coriander and salt enhances the flavor of potatoes as well. Admittedly, the task of finding a source of Tkemali sauce can present a challenge. Yet there exists among all the other sauces at least one other fruit-based condiment that goes great on grilled meat. It resembles what might be called an edible paste, because it does not exhibit the sauce’s ability to flow with ease. The labels on that particular condiment bear the words pomegranate paste. That paste can be found in any market that caters to men and women that have mastered the art of cooking Persian food. Another great sauce comes from North Africa. Called Harissa, it features the qualities that one would expect to find in some type of chili-ketchup. The Harissa sauce’s savory flavor derives from a blend of caraway, garlic, coriander and sun-dried tomato.
