What combinations with chocolate do you know? Surely, now that you have to spend more time at home, you are devoting more time to cooking, just like many people! And... what better way to innovate than learning how to use chocolate in different recipes? Today, at AlterNativa3, we're going to innovate! Keep on reading.
Chocolate and fruits
We start with a combination that won't surprise you, because is there anything more delicious than a fondue with fruit and chocolate? Strawberries, bananas and berries are typical combinations, as are citrus fruits. And I'm sure you've tried chocolate with orange or other versions like the one we have on our website: with lemon and ginger!
Why don't you join us in sharing with us at Instagram your favourite combos?
Spiced chocolate... and meat!
Cinnamon and vanilla are spices that go very well with chocolate, but let's go further! Pepper and cloves, for example, go very well with the cocoa flavour and give it a very special touch.
But how to incorporate this into a more elaborate recipe? Always you can prepare a sauce using chocolate and spices and incorporate into the meat. White meats such as chicken, which are low in fat, are an excellent choice. In fact, because they are mild, they will not overpower the taste of the chocolate.
Chocolate with cheese
And we don't mean cheeses like the mascarpone in tiramisu, although that's possible too! We encourage you to try stronger cheeses, such as a blue or semi-cured. Try combining different types of cheese with more or less pure chocolates and you will discover endless new flavours!
Combinations with chocolate you wouldn't have imagined
The truth is that chocolate can be combined with many different ingredients, but there are some that have particularly caught our attention. Bacon, asparagus, avocado and cauliflower are just some of them.
Of course, if one thing is clear, it is that imagination in the kitchen knows no limits and that the combinations with chocolate are endless! Would you like to share your favourites?
