DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ANICAV is proud to announce the launch of their new campaign at SIAL Middle East, an EU initiative to promote the goodness of canned legumes from Europe in the Middle East.
Our legumes are carefully cultivated and grown, of the highest quality starting from their planting in the fields, then cared for as they ripen, and harvested at their peak of taste and texture, before being preserved for you in a can. They are indeed a treasure to keep on your shelf!
Chickpeas, fava beans, lentils, white and red beans, all of the most delicious legumes, form the basis of so much Middle Eastern Cuisine--from hummus, felafel, stews, soups, and sauces, salads, and pilafs.
ANICAV Chefs' will demonstrate recipes in Abu Dhabi during the three days of the show (7-9 December 2021): smoked salmon and pea green risotto, red bean and couscous cheeseburger, rainbow salad, chickpea and chocolate cake, lentil salad with mozzarella and curly endive, and ricotta and pea croquette. Our recipe creator Soha Darwish and our Chef Ahmad Faisal will be revealing new recipes at our stand D40 in Hall 7.
More information is available at www.legumesfromeurope.com on how and where our legumes are grown and processed as well as on our environmental commitment and on nutritional details on these high protein, high fiber, miracle plants.
Here are some recipes which will be demonstrated at SIAL. The first one is for a Smoked Salmon & Pea Green Risotto, specially created by the food writer Soha Darwish. This is indeed a sensational way to enjoy a truly blissful green risotto. The heavenly combination of smoked salmon, fennel and tender peas takes this risotto to another level. A dish that will certainly impress your guests with minimal effort and very simple cooking skills. The second one is a delicious Rainbow Salad, specially created for you by our chef Ahmad Faisal. Simple and healthy, this salad gets its name because it has all the colors of the rainbow.
