Frost readers are no strangers to Tracklements, that Wiltshire-based family company who create quality food, using only proper, honest ingredients. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating, all their products are made by hand in small batches, using ingredients sourced from farms and small businesses across England. I know, it’s incredible isn’t it? But true. And the proof is definitely in the eating.
Tracklements are constantly creating new and exciting products and I’m always enthusiastic to road test them, so I was delighted to learn of their two latest triumphs.
The first is Sriracha Chilli Mayonnaise. Even the thought of spicy fermented chilli combined with creamy mayonnaise got my taste-buds working overtime and a quick look at the ingredients confirmed that this was going to be good, very good. Chillis and garlic, fermented together for five days and then combined with, oil and eggs, vinegars, raw cane sugar, peppers, onions, mustard seed, lemon juice and anchovies – simple, traditional fare, with not one chemical additive in sight. As I tried it, my mind was buzzing with the potential. The taste was perfect – just the right amount of chilli heat, the subtle garlic overtones and the perfect creamy mayonnaise layers all merged in harmony. I was visualizing a barbeque – laughter in the garden, a chilled rosé and succulent meats and salad covered liberally in Tracklements Sriracha Chilli Mayonnaise – heaven on a plate.
But as if this wasn’t enough excitement for one day, Tracklements have a double whammy, with their Indulgent Garlic Mayonnaise. Garlic puree combined with a traditional mayonnaise recipe, this flavour was milder and less complex, simple and delicious.
The two mayonnaises work very well together and make succulent dips – for kebabs, chips, or chopped vegetables if you’re trying to be good. They add a kick to wraps or panini or frankly pretty much anything.
NEW Tracklements Sriracha Chilli Mayonnaise and NEW Tracklements Indulgent Garlic Mayonnaise both with RRP £3.10 / 200g, are gluten free and are available from fine food delis and farm shops nationwide and online at www.tracklements.co.uk.
Do grab some for al fresco dining whilst the sun shines – you deserve it.
