Salad and vegetables, two healthy side dishes that can mean anything. There are so many different salads you can make and many alternative ways for vegetables as well. Which salads do you usually make for a summer BBQ? What vegetables do you cook for a Sunday roast? So, what does Hog Roast Sawbridgeworth mean when their menu says choose salads or vegetables?
The most common salads presented on Hog Roast Sawbridgeworth’s menus are:
- Tomato and mozzarella
- Coleslaw
- Seasonal green leaf
- Caesar
Most chefs have their own version and takes on these classic salads, but this is what to expect from the chefs at Hog Roast Sawbridgeworth:
- Italian-inspired tomato and mozzarella salad – a medley of sweet cherry tomatoes layered between hand-torn pieces of creamy buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil leaves, seasoned with cracked black pepper and sea salt and finished with drizzles of extra virgin olive oil.
- Homemade coleslaw – shredded white and red cabbage (2:1 ratio), sliced red onions, grated carrots, lemon zest and lemon juice mixed in smooth mayonnaise.
Freshly prepared seasonal green leaf – a mixture of different lettuces such as romaine, iceberg, rocket, and lollorosso with sliced cucumber, spring onions and celery – a mighty green salad!- Classic Caesar – sliced cos lettuce tossed together with garlic and pepper crunchy croutons, parmigiano cheese shavings, diced bacon, artichokes, and creamy Caesar sauce
The salads are prepared on site, fresh and are all divine!
The most common vegetables dishes are:
- A carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower mix
- Mangetout and pea mix
- Cauliflower cheese
Hog Roast Sawbridgeworth chefs do change the vegetables to those that are in season, for example in winter Brussel sprouts will make an appearance. The catering managers usually sway to what the customer requests as they found throughout the years that people can be fussy when it comes to veg, and they would rather get it right for their customer and guests! The two different mixes are cooked fresh on site and finished knobs of butter to ensure a nice consistency and a small spoon of mint sauce for an extra kick of flavour. The cauliflower cheese is cooked and baked fresh on site also with Hog Roast Sawbridgeworth making their own cheese sauce and adding extra mature cheddar grated cheese on top to bake.
With either choice, you a certainly in for a flavourful experience!
