Flavour Tips
When preparing heart healthy meals you don't have to sacrifice taste. In fact, with our flavour tips, you'll find it easy to create meals that are as healthy as they are delicious.
- Fat tends to intensify the flavour of foods, so when you lower the fat in your recipes, be sure to compensate by increasing the amount of herbs and spices you use.
- Use regular or low-salt bouillon mixes or cubes to make low-fat gravies and sauces.
- Try preparing crab, lobster, scallops, oysters, and clams with spicy tomato sauces instead of heavy butter or cream sauces.
- Lean cuts of beef, simmered on the stove or in a crock-pot, make a flavourful stew. Load it with vegetables and serve on rice or noodles for a beautifully balanced meal.
- Bake ham with a mixture of orange juice, honey, and cloves for a terrific family dinner.
