COMFORT FOOD GUIDE
The Core of Comfort Manitoba’s agricultural
landscape provides a stunning array of ingredients that form the backbone of its comfort food traditions. To elevate a dish, one must start with the best components. PRODUCE: The fall harvest provides an abundance of storage crops. Potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, beets and squash are all flavour- ful, affordable and readily available. Peak of the Market features many wonderful options in this issue of Savour Manitoba . GRAINS AND PULSES: We got grain! Manitoba is a grain power- house. Use local wheat flour from mills like Prairie Flour Mills in Elie or incor- porate nutrient-dense beans, lentils and peas from the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers. Don’t forget the earthy, nutty flavour of Manitoba wild rice, a staple of Indigenous cuisine.
FLAVOUR ENHANCERS: Manitoba comfort food is not complete with- out a nod to our amazing local condiments. Seek out artisan mustards from Smak Dab and the province’s most iconic flavour: honey dill sauce. A new rub, spice or sauce from Luxe Barbeque Company can change the way you see boring old food.
