Fruit, although sweet, can also be used to make savoury dishes even more delicious. It might sound odd to mix sweet and salty foods but all you need to do is think about how delicious fruit and cheese taste when paired together! It’s the sweet highlights of the fruit that really helps the various flavours of the savoury dish stand out.
Pizza is a popular and versatile meal. You can quite literally choose your toppings by adding and removing as you please. From various types of cheese and meats to mushrooms, peppers, and even eggs and fish can be used to top your pizza. Fruit is another popular topping with banana and pineapple being the two top choices. While fruit has a certain flavour when fresh, they take on a slightly different flavour when cooked. With the right herbs, like oregano, you will love the way fruit can transform your pizza.
Curry is known for being spicy but what some people don’t know just how well fruit can compliment a spicy dish. Peaches and apricots are an excellent choice as well as pineapple. These fruits hold up really well when cooked together with other foods. You don’t need to worry about these fruits becoming pureed in the food like a banana would. Chicken and peach curry is a popular option and you’ll wonder why you never added fruit before!
You can also use various types of fruit to top your salads. Some of the best types of fruit to use include apples, pears, raisins, grapes, and cranberries or just about any dried fruit. Just make sure that you cut your fruit into bite sized portions and sprinkle the pieces over your salad to add colour and flavour.
Finally, even something as simple as a burger can be made better with fruit. A spicy chicken burger tastes even better when you top the chicken with a pineapple ring. Add some creamy and spicy sauce as well as other salad to bring all the flavours together.
