Alexandra’s Releases Two New Ready to Cook Meals Using Plant Protein
Alexandra Fine Foods has added two new varieties to its range of convenient ready to cook meals.
The concept behind Alexandra’s ‘Moroccan Bean Tajine’ and Alexandra’s ‘New Mexican Chilli’ is to provide powerful plant protein based meals that are both gluten free as well as vegetarian and vegan friendly. Like
all Alexandra’s Ready to Cook meals, everything is in the bag. All home cooks need to do is add the contents to water
and cook as a one pot meal.
• Alexandra’s ‘Moroccan Bean Tajine’ includes chickpeas, white beans, currants, onion, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin
and a spice blend especially created for this meal. Each pack serves three to four people, more if served with meat or
another protein and is ready in 30 minutes.
• Alexandra’s ‘New Mexican Chilli’ has red navy beans, tomato, onion, smoked paprika, chilli, garlic, lemon, herbs and a
spice blend also especially created for this meal. ‘New Mexican Chilli’ is ready in 15 minutes and also serves three to
four people.
“Plant protein is at the forefront of vegetarian and vegan food, and beans and chickpeas add the powerful plant protein
needed for a healthy diet regardless of whether you are vegetarian or not. Health conscious consumers don’t want to
compromise between eating delicious, natural healthy food and eating conveniently,” says Murray Kinsella, Alexandra Fine
Foods Managing Director.
“Alexandra’s ‘Moroccan Bean Tajine’ and ‘New Mexican Chilli’ meet all of those needs. They are perfect for those who are
time poor but who still want a rewarding, authentic gourmet meal with Mexican or Moroccan flavours.”
Alexandra Fine Foods is a true New Zealand success story. Murray’s wife and business partner, Raele Kinsella developed
all of the ready to cook meals as a tasty, quick and cost effective meal or meal accompaniment for busy and health
conscious consumers. She sees the plant protein meals as a natural next step in the company’s development.
“Most of our products are manufactured in New Zealand to proprietary recipes,”
explains Raele. “‘Moroccan Bean Tajine’ and ‘New Mexican Chilli’ are our new innovations in easy and tasty ready to cook
meals using powerful plant protein.”
“They are also very versatile,” she adds. “Moroccan Bean Tajine can be served with couscous or rice, with fish or meat,
or simply on its own with a dollop of natural yogurt and a sprinkle of coriander. ‘New Mexican Chilli’ is fantastic
served with corn chips, in burritos or tacos or even on its own. You can get as creative as you like with these meals.”
The team at Alexandra Fine Foods has a passion for creating easy to cook, healthy meals that include all the ingredients
you need in a convenient see-through bag.
Alexandra’s ‘’Moroccan Bean Tajine’ and ‘New Mexican Chilli’ are currently available at Farro Fresh and soon at New
World and Pak’nSave nationally.
All products can be purchased online at www.alexandras.co.nz.
