As Canadians gear up to celebrate the arrival of a new year, now is the perfect time to explore the vibrant and flavourful world of European and Italian fruits and vegetables. These high-quality ingredients bring nutritional goodness and a delicious taste to any festive table, making your New Year's celebrations more memorable.
In December and January, European and Italian markets are very colourful thanks to the abundance of seasonal fruits such as oranges, mandarins, clementines, kiwis, pomegranates, apples, pears and chestnuts and vegetables such as cabbage, kale, broccoli, parsnips, artichokes, and chard, to mention just a few key ingredients for traditional New Year recipes.
To help you ring in the New Year with a flavourful flair, here is a simples yet delicious recipe that showcases some of these exceptional ingredients, courtesy of I Love Fruit & Veg from Europe, the campaign aimed at promoting the consumption of fresh and seasonal fruit and vegetables in several countries, including Canada, co-funded by the European Union and managed by a group of Italian agricultural producers, Agritalia, A.O.A., La Deliziosa, Meridia and Terra Orti.
