Edible bowls are a fantastic alternative for when you don’t want to do the dishes, which let’s be honest, is always. It makes your spread more interesting, appealing and of course, photogenic. Jazz up a salad – It’s amazing what a simple taco bowl can do! It’s way more exciting to eat salad out of an edible bowl than a traditional white porcelain bowl.
Hugo Chetcuti’s team of skilled chefs share a few simple but great edible serving dishes ideas and reasons we love using food to hold other food in.
1. Bread Bowl
Who doesn’t dip bread in soup? Impress your friends and guests by serving yummy creamy soup in a bread bowl. Slice the top off the bread and gently remove a good portion of the bread’s flesh to make room for the soup. There’s nothing like a good old bread bowl to warm your soul! Alternatively, use it as a serving bowl for your favourite dip, be it hummus or guacamole!
2. Tomatoes
The list of possible recipes that can be used to stuff tomatoes is endless; from a mini tuna salad or risotto to baked pasta. Simply cut out a lid and hollow with a teaspoon and fill with whatever ingredients tickle your fancy.
3. Peppers
Stuffed peppers are the perfect vehicle for anything ranging from rice dishes, meats, and even salads. These colourful bowls of nature can be served as an appetiser or even a vegetarian lunch.
4. Crispy Tortilla
Taken on board by Hugo Chetcuti’s chefs at Hugo’s Burger Bar, crispy tortilla bowls can be used for salads, curries, taco, chili con (or sin) carne.
5. Melon
Serve your yummy yoghurt and muesli breakfast in a cantaloupe after removing the seeds and scooping out the flesh, which of course, you can then chop and use as part of a fruit salad.
6. Pineapple
Bring the tropics to your backyard and try this cheeky summer trend out for yourself! Create a smoothie or breakfast bowl by filling the pineapple with fruit and coconut (or a dollop of ice-cream). For something on the savoury side, serve curry and rice in an actual pineapple!
At Hugo’s Burger Bar, we serve a selection of food in edible bowls! Our Chicken Caesar Salad, Falafel Salad and Tuna Salad are all served in crispy tortilla bowls, which are as edible as they are cute. Hugo Chetcuti invites you over to try something lighter and nutritious if it’s not a tasty burger you’re after! All our salads are served with a free drink.
