Wholesome Lunch Pairings

Meeting guests’ lunch expectations can be a moving target, but one thing is a given: they consistently appreciate nourishing dishes served quickly. The chefs from UFS have come together for these easy-to-prepare, vegetable based lunch pairings and recipes—and they’re hearty enough to please your meat-loving guests too.

Roasted Cauliflower and Chili

When roasted, cauliflower takes on a full, earthy musk flavor. Spicy ingredients such as chilies emphasize the sweetness of the cauliflower.

Red Cabbage and Ginger

Spicy ginger compliments the robust red cabbage and gains a bittersweet taste when stir fried. You can also use these ingredients raw to make a nourishing salad.

Spinach and Chickpeas

Spinach and chickpeas are a centuries-old pairing. Combine wilted spinach with chickpeas and cumin for a North-African salad, or make a farinata of chickpeas served with toasted chickpeas.

Rice and Beans OR Rice and Lentils

Make a hearty Middle Eastern Majadara (rice and lentils with brown rice) as a side dish or the base for a Middle Eastern rice bowl. Also consider making a hearty “fajita” with brown rice, beans with vegetables.

Chickpeas and Tahini

The classic components of hummus give your guests a great source of plant-based protein. Combine into a paste or create a chopped salad with chickpeas and tahini served with herbs and a complementing dressing.

Salad with Freekeh, Pulled Chicken, Beetroot and Grapefruit
