I recently received a comment about a few of our recipes. It pertained to some of the ingredients we use and that people may not be familiar with them. So I decided to go through some of our “different” recipes to see where substitutions could be made in hopes that people will try them.
Potato Chicken Curry Stir Fry with Roasted Buckwheat
This is a spicy recipe that is served over roasted buckwheat. If the thought of buckwheat makes you cringe, then you can always serve this tasty stir fry over rice, on its own, or with crusty bread. If you can’t handle the heat, omit the chilli pepper flakes.
Chicken Tart with Kamut Berries and Spinach
Some people would look at this recipe and think to themselves “what the heck are kamut berries?” If you really want to know, there’s a note at the end of this recipe that explains what they are. An easy substitute is to use your favourite rice.
Although I am a big fan of gorgonzola cheese, not everyone enjoys its unique flavour. Try using goat cheese, or a sharp cheese of your choice as a substitute. This recipe also uses mozzarella, so you can omit the use of the other cheeses altogether!
Tournedos with port and raspberries
These chicken tournedos don’t have to be made with the fancy port and raspberry sauce. They’ll be just as tasty with your favourite BBQ sauce or sauce of your choice. Click here for our step-by-step video on how to make chicken tournedos.
In this recipe you can substitute the polenta with pasta or serve it with crusty bread and turn it into an Italian style Sloppy Joe!
Polenta chicken pizza bites gluten free
This recipe also uses polenta but you can top English muffin slices or crusty bread with these delicious pizza toppings that your kids will love. Keep in mind that by using bread you are not longer preparing a gluten free recipe.
So next time you come across a recipe that sounds a little different, take a look at it and see where you can make changes to accommodate your taste buds and cooking skills!
Have you made any changes to our recipes? If so, we want to hear about them in our comments!
