With Ready-Made Ideas for Quick Daily Menus
If something is quick, it doesn’t mean it isn’t creative. On the contrary, with smart combinations of simple ingredients and quality bases, it is possible to prepare complex dishes that you can serve in just a few minutes.
Guests appreciate variety and imaginative combinations, and they also expect the dish to be quickly on their table. This is where ready-made sauces come into play: with them, every dish gets a stable flavor base, leaving you room to play with ingredients and presentation.
Ready-made sauces save time and guarantee quality
There is not much worry, cutting, or cleaning with ready-made sauces. The staff can focus on other details that make a difference in the actual preparation of dishes in your kitchen. Here are a few advantages that ready-made sauces bring you.
- Preparation speed: it shortens the time from order to serving.
- Standardized taste: regardless of the staff or workload, guests receive the same gastronomic experience.
- Practicality: a perfect solution for lunch breaks, catering events, and quick daily menus.
That is why Podravka ready-made sauces are found in the kitchens of professionals. They are a quality base on which you can build your own creativity.
Inspiration for the daily menu
Sandwiches for every service format
Combinations of various types of bread like ciabatta or focaccia with fresh vegetables, protein additions (chicken, roast beef, tuna, tofu), and Podravka sauces become quick and attractive dishes. Various sandwiches are ideal during serving at lunch breaks and are also a great option to take away.
From our cookbook, we highlight tuna burger with ajvar and vegetables.
Bruschetta and crostini
On a crispy base, combine sauce, vegetables, cheeses, and meat. Tomato sauce is, for example, an excellent base that enhances flavor and makes it easier to prepare larger quantities for catering.
In this vegan variant, we combined red beans with tomato concentrate.
Appetizers and dips
Mini pizzas, vegetable skewers, or finger food snacks get that extra something when served with a sauce in your creation. It is impressive for serving at events and during festive catering menus.
Our colorful skewers can be quickly served with beloved ajvar or tomato salsa, which you can prepare with ready-made sauces.
