Lemon/Lime juice and zest Adding fresh juice or zest can really brighten a meal and add a gourmet flavour to your dish that will really impress guests, and it’s so simple! A little acidity goes a long way in balancing the flavours of your savoury dishes. A zesty meat or fish can be the centrepiece of your meal or you can incorporate lemon/lime into your vegetable seasoning, combined with garlic and parsley for a delicious flavour. Wine Vinegar Using either a red or white wine vinegar can add a fruity Mediterranean flavour to many dishes, as well as bringing the health benefits of wine without drinking a bottle! Red wine vinegar goes great with rich flavours used in red meat dishes or an Italian style salad. White wine vinegar is lighter and is great for creamier dishes and perfect to help marinade chicken. Worcestershire sauce Worcestershire sauce is on of the most versatile ingredients you can add to a meal, and you’ll most likely have some in your kitchen cupboard at home! It can add acidity and sweetness to nearly anything, marinating chicken or pork, a salad dressing or a stock sauce. Tomato puree
Tomato puree is very versatile and can be used to add a depth of flavour to pasta sauces, a curry or browned minced meat. If you’re short of a tomato sauce, just mixing puree with oil, water and seasoning can deliver a great makeshift pasta sauce. A layer of tomato puree on a tortilla wrap covered with grated cheese delivers a simple and healthy homemade pizza.
