New Member - Breda's Kitchen
We are pleased to introduce you to our latest member Breda from Breda's Kitchen. Breda brought samples of her delicious chutneys for us to taste in her interview and had Jim convinced on the first bite!
"I love a good Cheeseboard and an even better Chutney, after trying numerous different chutneys I felt there was always something missing, so by creating my own I had control what ingredients to use and experiment with.
Last October I decided after a lot of persuasion to sell it. Hence grew Breda's Kitchen. I thrive on keeping busy so after a 3am to 11am start in my full-time job at Belfast International Airport I go home nap for a bit and then make chutneys, salsas & preserves in the heart of our home. Since then, I've created 15 in a range that include chutneys, salsas, preserves and marinades."
Handmade in small batches Breda's cooking background has allowed her to create pairing suggestions for her products including her BBQ Salsa, which she recommends with burgers and loaded fries, hot dogs and sausages, tacos, wraps and nachos, grilled chicken and wings, BBQ corn and salads as well as steak and smoky ribs. Breda's chef tip is to mix the BBQ Salsa with mayo or sour cream for a quick dip or burger sauce. The thought is making us want to light up the BBQ and get cooking!
Breda suggests pairing her chutney's with cheeseboards and crackers, sandwiches and toasties, breakfast baps, roast meats and cold cuts, pies, quiches and savoury bakes as well as salads and grazing boards. Her tip for chutney's is to stir them into gravy or sauces for an instant flavour boost.
You can find Breda's selection of chutneys and salsa's here in Midtown Makers Gift Shop, Church Street, Ballymena. Watch this space for tasting sample events!
