Honestly no meal is complete without side. Can you imagine your pasta dishes without bread on side? Or Indian rice and curry with no side dish? Or burger without fries? No right? That’s why a side is always needed to add on that extra ‘yum effect’ on your plates. A good side is complete when you pair it up with zingy, spicy or sweet chutney, sauce or pickle. Being a foodie I love pairing up my dishes with sauces-. Spread it, pour it, mix it, dip it or pair it up-you always need good sauces in your kitchen. That’s why when I was approached to review and pair Encona Sauces I said yes in one go.
Encona has
a range of over 20 delicious sauces and marinades to enjoy. Encona is not a new
name or brand for me, I already love its mango chutney and it is always
available in my kitchen pantry (no matter what). With Encona you can choose
heat at levels, from mild to extra hot, there’s something for everyone! All the
sauces are wonderfully versatile. Great as a dipping sauce, a marinade, a
cooking ingredient or as a delicious, everyday table sauce for all your
favourite foods! Why not try drizzled
into stir-fries, rice dishes, dips and salad dressings. Also great if brushed
onto food during grilling or barbecuing, and stirred into soups and stews.
I was
sent two new flavours. Encona Peruvian Amarillo Sauce which is a blend of
authentic Peruvian Amarillo chillies, roasted onion, spices and herbs creating
a sweet, subtle chilli flavour with a hint of garlic – the perfect way for
eager taste explorers to get their taste buds tingling without the cost of a
plane ticket. I love this with anything and everything- no seriously this one
is sooooo amazing that you can use it up in sandwiches, wraps, as salad
dressing and what not.
Launching
alongside their Peruvian sauce, they have created a Mexican Smokey Jalapeno-A
delicious blend of chillies and spices gives the rich sauce a subtle smokey
flavour and a warm and fruity taste to compliment your Mexican meals. I paired
it up with potato wedges. Not fried but Baked Potato Wedges. Two types. One,
plain simple butter and salt roasted and other exotic one roasted with
coriander and red chilli powder. Sometimes simplest things are the best- Just
potatoes, light spices and a nice dipping sauce.
Butter and Salted potato wedges are crisp on the outside and bit tender on the inside. - A simple & straight forward recipe for a healthier, yet equally satisfying & addictive way to enjoy potatoes. Coriander and red chilli powder wedges is one step above, it is aromatic, richly spiced and flavoursome. No matter which one you choose, you ought to ask for more and more.
Ingredients:
5-7 medium
size potatoes
1
tablespoon butter melted
Salt to
taste
1 teaspoon
olive oil
1
teaspoon coriander powder
Red
chilli powder to taste
Method:
Line a
baking tray with baking paper or aluminium foil.
Preheat
the oven at 180C.
Cut
potatoes into wedges. Keep them medium thick.
Take a
bowl and put chopped potatoes in it. Add in salt and melted butter.
Mix and
make sure every wedge is coated with salt and butter.
Line
potato wedges on the sheet keeping some space in between each one.
Bake in
the oven for 20-30 minutes. Keep shaking and turning the tray after every 10 minutes.
Enjoy the
salted one.
For
coriander and red chilli roasted one, heat oil in pan or wok. When oil gets hot
add baked potato wedges, red chilli powder, coriander powder and mix. Serve
hot.
