When it comes to spoiling Dad, the best way is through his stomach. With Father’s Day coming up in New Zealand on September 1st, having strong, rustic and bold dishes on your menu is guaranteed to make all the boys happy.
He's my hero
When it comes to plates for dads, it’s a good idea to have a comprehensive range of flavours, generous portion sizes, and plenty of delicious side dishes ready to go. Make sure you have extra fries, onion rings, mac and cheese, hot chilli chicken wings, jalapeño poppers and pickles ready to rock out alongside your mains. Having lots of side dishes on offer will also likely upsize the order so don’t skimp here!
Stand out from the crowd with an impressive-looking signature burger. Look at creating a stack with the inclusion of juicy patties or rich, saucy pulled beef or pork, lots of melty cheese, and a good array of pickles and relishes. Greens and veggies are always good for colour – although he might well prefer you go harder on the meat! It’s always a good idea to serve a few extra pickles and sauces on the side to complete this scrumptious dish.
Get Ready
Slow-cooked meats like Primo pulled beef and pork give you more time to make your dish really stand out, as all the cooking’s already been done. Pulled meats also allow you to play with flavours – adding garnishes and sauces like chilli, hoisin or tomato allows you to create a multitude of dishes from the same base. Use these fully cooked pulled meats in tacos, burgers, bagels, sandwiches and wraps, as a filling for pies, or as a pizza topping.
For a texture treat, add Tegel’s crunchy golden coated karaage chicken bites to the menu for a quick and easy staple dish. Made with real chicken breast, these tasty morsels are the perfect accompaniment to a warm salad, rice bowl or taco – and they make a mouthwatering plate when stacked on waffles and drizzled with sweet maple sauce or hot chilli honey. All Tegel chickens are cage free, and the company is independently audited to ensure it meets the highest animal welfare standards.
