Gourmet Mexican Fried Rice
Weekdays run in hyper-drive around our house; we’re busy with school activities or various other things and like many other families I look for healthy meals under thirty minutes to keep my family away from the draw of fast food. Fried rice is one of my favourite under thirty minute dishes to make because I can change up the ingredients to make it a side dish to my main entrée or make it a meal of it’s own.
This weekend I was craving a little heated cuisine and decided on a Mexican Fried Rice. The colours of the dish remind me of summer days with freshly picked ingredients from the farm garden. My garden isn’t flourishing yet but soon we will be picking ingredients in the freshest of farm to plate act. Adding Gourmet Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup was the perfect addition to this recipe, combining nicely with the spices and lime for an Mexicana Fiesta explosion.
What are your favourite ways to enjoy a gourmet ketchup, in a recipe or as a condiment?
Gourmet Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup
Shortly after I received my jars of Gourmet Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup, I had half a jar gone in one sitting with nobody to blame but myself. This isn’t just any ketchup. Once you try this, your adult taste buds will be singing.
I don’t really care for regular ketchup on it’s own but this gourmet ketchup is more of a chunky consistency with only the freshest tomatoes and seeds, a burst of flavour in every bite. I’ve tried this ketchup on it’s own with tortilla chips, on top of my egg and cheese English muffins or hamburgers and in several recipes, each time finding an even greater love for this homestyle ketchup. It’s sweet and tangy grown up flavour hits the mark with every member of my family and I know you’ll love it too.
Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup has been a well-loved condiment at the kitchen table of generations of our family. The fresh tangy taste of our Homestyle Ketchup is so versatile, it can be used as an ingredient in recipes to enhance the taste of meat dishes like meatloaf or as a condiment for those well-loved comfort foods like eggs, grilled cheese, stews and casseroles.
