Plant Forward

“Eat food.

Not too much.

Mostly Plant s.”

- Michael Pollan

Introduction “Plant Forward” defined: According to www.heart.org, Plant Forward is a style of cooking and eating that emphasizes plantbased foods but is not strictly limited to them.

Meat may be included but it’s usually not the main feature of the meal.

“Healthy is hot!” says the National Restaurant Association’s What’s Hot On Menus in 2020.

As eating more plant forward meals becomes the norm for much of our population, it is imperative that restaurant and foodservice operators take notice. With all the diversity our industry is experiencing we cannot simply ignore such a growing percentage of our customer base. It is proven that patrons with special dietary needs drive the decisions on where to dine based on menu options, “if there is nothing for me then we will go somewhere else”. The key is to embrace this style of healthier eating and market to not only address the plant forward patron but to add diversity to menus as a whole. Again, by definition plants are the central focus of the plate but that doesn’t mean meat based proteins can’t play a part, its’s just a minimized role.

We are seeing writer Michael Pollan’s words come full circle in 2020 with the emphasis on “MOSTLY plants”. Creative chefs and operators can capitalize on a growing demographic that is willing to spend to get what pleases them. Many of these items can be enjoyed by our typical protein source lovers as well.

For instance, pair plant forward items with optional meat based protein additions that may appeal to a broader customer base, such as adding some grilled shrimp, seared scallops, grilled chicken or sliced steak to a plant based item for an upcharge. Now you have addressed the needs of the plant based eater as well as appealed to a larger audience by adding typical protein options. How exciting for a chef to now have a whole new palate of paint colors to play with! We just need to understand how to best mix the colors.

Are these items profitable you ask? Well, let’s look at it this way, you already have a cooler full of beautiful fresh produce, herbs, spices, legumes, nuts and sauces, most of which are relatively affordable when compared to the price of meat. Marry those ingredients with great technique, international flavors, spice profiles, and influences from around the globe to create incredible dishes your customers will rave about.

Performance Foodservice - Springfield’s Corporate Executive Chef David McGurn CEC, CCA covers it all as he introduces you to the world of plant based eating. From breakfast to dessert and everything in between, he brings you an abundance of irresistible plant forward recipes. Don’t be afraid to embrace the change and “Eat from the Earth!

Here’s to healthy eating and a healthier planet!

The Ultimate Plant Based Grocery List

As an industry and a culture, we are entering a new frontier in food. The focus on plant-forward innovation, coupled with the rise in flexitarianism, is leading to culinary and lab-based experimentation. The result of this experimentation is two-fold. First, there is now an exponentially broader variety of plant-based alternatives from meat analogs to dairy substitutes. Second, operators are finding ways to turn animal-based ingredients into craveable complements to a plant-forward experience.

06

What makes this moment in plantforward innovation unique is that much of the experimentation is focused on creating options for those not committed to vegan and vegetarian lifestyles. Though more consumers are practicing both, these groups still make up a small share of the population.

So restaurants are considering plantforward innovation from a meat-focused consumer perspective. As a result, the finished products are exciting and appealing to a broader audience, and can be enjoyed for what they are, which is often truly delicious meals or complements.

Propels Menu Innovation

By Maeve Webster THESE FIVE MENU CATEGORIES ARE TRANSFORMING AS A RESULT OF PLANT-FORWARD INNOVATION:

BURGERS Perhaps no category has been as significantly impacted by plant-forward innovation as the burger category, thanks to the introduction of meat analogs such as Impossible and Beyond Burgers. This may not be the case for long as these manufacturers, and new players, experiment with options from chicken to seafood replicas, but for now, consumers are most likely to find the most innovative options within the burger category. Beyond the sciencebased analogs, operators are creating housemade plant-based burger options that are a far cry from the dry options of the past. Others are working produce and legumes into meat-based patties to increase the healthfulness and decrease calories and fats. Look for Impossible burgers, Beyond Burgers, beef/mushroom

blends, beef/mushroom/bean blends, quinoa-based, black bean-based, and beet-based options.

SNACKS/SHAREABLES In the past, the only ubiquitous plantbased bar snack was a bowl of nuts, and shareable items typically focused on meat protein options like chicken wings. Both categories—bar snacks and shareables—are now liberally incorporating innovative plant-forward options using impactful preparations, visually engaging presentations and fantastic innovation. New options for either category include dips and spreads such as muhammara and dukkah, vegetable finger foods from battered and fried to pickled, dishes based on sprouted rices and grains, popped grains beyond corn including quinoa, farro and sorghum, and preparations more commonly reserved for meats such as beer-braising and blackened.

BEVERAGES

DESSERTS

From a focus on functional ingredients to drinks sourced from global cuisines, the beverage category is one of the most exciting on the menu today.

Experimentation and produce-forward beverages are driving innovation in juices, smoothies, sodas and cocktails (alcoholic and nonalcoholic). Interesting beverage options for innovation include housemade produce-based simple syrups such as rhubarb and coconut, fresh juices from carrot to kale, new nondairy “milks,” including oat and cashew (particularly good for frothing), natural colors from produce including beets and turmeric, and seasonal produce, naturally.

Always a challenging category for operators, desserts are enjoying a resurgence in interest largely driven by the increased variety of desserts with a healthier halo, thanks to produceforward innovation. Whether positioned as indulgent with a healthful spin, primarily healthy with an indulgent touch, or vegan, these new desserts are reintroducing consumers to the idea that desserts shouldn’t be left solely to special occasions, but can be enjoyed frequently as part of holistically healthy eating. Plant-forward innovations in the dessert category include: creative preparations that change the texture such as sous vide and quicklime soaks; produce using multiple preparations in one dish for complex flavor and texture; nondairy alternatives including nut- or grain-based milks and cheeses; aquafaba; preparing and pairing vegetables to highlight sweet flavors for unexpected experiences, and vegan ice creams.

GLOBAL CUISINE Much of the inspiration for plantforward innovation comes from world cuisines. Most other cultures in the world consume less animal-proteins or products than do Americans, and many cultures have historically focused on plant-forward dishes for a variety of reasons from religious to economic.

Thanks to the broader access to and understanding of many far lesser known (until now) culinary heritages, chefs can draw from and be guided by these ancient heritages. While some cuisines such as Mediterranean have been slowly shifting how American consumers view plant-forward dining for some time, up-and-coming cuisines lending their unique voices to the plantforward conversation include Ethiopian, Burmese, Indian, and Levantine.

“The garden suggest s there might b e a place where we can meet nat ure half way.”

Additional Notes: This spicy hand held can also be served with Tzatziki instead of the African pepper sauce.
