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.

until rice is cooked. Halfway through, stir in the canned salmon,
