FOOD MAGIC

“What’s the secret ingredient?”

This is probably the most mystical question people ask when they encounter food magic! WHAT is the secret ingredient… the secret sauce… Is there such a thing?! Yes, there is.

KRAUT+REDNECK® have investigated the culinary origin of many different cuisines. There are so many ways to naturally enhance flavor, add depth, and to give a dish that signature – hard to pin-point – taste. It’s the YUMMY factor, the UMAMI.

Different cuisines use different methods, but it all boils down to comparable approaches. We are happy to share our discoveries!

THE FINISHING TOUCH

Many people see hot sauces or dips as flavor enhancers for nondescript bland food. We believe that it takes fabulous food to start with!

Turn up the heat or create a satisfying depth with a hand-crafted hot sauce. Counterbalance richness with vinegar-based acidity or cool down your taste buds with some dairy freshness.

Regardless, condiments enhance greatness. The French lead by example with their Fondue Bourguinonne (Beef Fondue)… succulent morsels of meat served with an abundance of sauces and condiments.

Learn how to WOW your friends and family and create an experience that is truly unforgettable.

HERBAL FINESSE

One of the simplest yet most refined ways to enhance a great dish, is adding an herbal or chopped vegetable condiment to the protein.

There are many culinary reasons to do this. It might provide acidity to cut the richness of the dish, herbal notes may deepen the flavors, garlic might be a bold counterpart to the meat, anchovies may add depth and saltiness.

Many cuisines make use of these powerful players. The French use a Persillade, the Italians a Pesto. South Americans crave their Chimichurri while we call it a “Board Sauce.” The Germans love their “Gruene Sauce” whereas in Mexico, the Caribbean and the Southwest, it’s simply Salsa.
