Have you heard the news? There’s a new plant-based bacon & chorizo in town and it’s available on the three-item menu at Infinite Foods’ flagship store, Infinite Café located in the Cape Town CBD.
Upton’s natural plant-based bacon, chorizo crumbles and traditional chunks have delicious porky taste and meaty texture (or extra crispy for bacon), they are non-GMO, kosher, high in protein, low in fat and with zero cholesterol, unlike animal-based meat. The main ingredient in these products is seitan (pronounced say-tan) which is made from wheat protein with an impressive texture and robust flavour. Seitan is a centuries-old technique stemming from ancient Japanese culinary traditions and is all-natural.
Everyone’s favourite, bacon, can easily be incorporated into your favourite dishes such as salads, pasta, and pizzas or as a breakfast side. Or for a recipe that requires whole muscle cuts, the Traditional Chunks easily take on the seasoning and flavour of the dish. The possibilities are endless with Upton’s range.
Infinite Café’s head chef, Bulelwa Sotshononda has created an Upton’s Natural three-item menu showcasing the many ways you can enjoy the new product offering. Patrons can enjoy the Breakfast Stack Combo made with Upton’s Seitan Bacon, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patty, JUST Egg Folded and caramelized onions sandwiched between two fluffy pancakes.
If you’re in the mood for a refreshing salad, the Summer Zinger Bacon Salad is just what you need, made with a trio of salad leaves with crispy croutons, green apples, Violife feta, shaved celery, crispy Upton’s Bacon drizzled with house dressing and mayo on the side.
And if you can’t get enough of pasta, you’ll enjoy Chef Bulelwa’s mouthwatering Creamy Chorizo Pasta made with Upton’s Chorizo seasoned with chilli flakes and paprika with some garlic. Cherry tomatoes, black olives, grated Violife mozzarella, wild rocket, creamed in Miyoko’s butter sauce.
