Dr. Gourmet's Food Reviews
The
sodium levels are often so high in frozen foods that I actually hesitate to
look at wholly new products. I spotted these Boomerang's Handheld Aussie Pies
in our local Whole Foods the other day and was intrigued by the idea of savory
foods in a pie crust, but I sort of held my breath until I saw the fairly reasonable
sodium levels. Granted, I do expect the frozen foods available at Whole Foods
to be a little healthier, but on the other hand there are brands they offer
that still tend to be heavy on the salt.
The story behind these pies is that they're traditional Australian fare. The founder of Boomerang's, Jack Fennell, was living in Sydney, Australia when he and his wife started enjoying them, then when they moved to Austin, Texas they started a restaurant to serve them. They've since branched out to the frozen food aisle. Boomerang's Handheld Aussie Pies
Featured Recipe
Five Spice Pork Stir Fry
Five spice powder is one spice to keep on hand. While the word "spice" might make you think that this is going to make your dishes "spicy," the flavor is aromatic and not hot. It can make any stir fry more elegant and is great when lightly sprinkled on chicken or fish prior to grilling.
