The Importance Of A Healthy Meat Platter
Whether you’re catering your own event or dining among friends, the importance of eating enough healthy, nutritious food cannot be overstated. Most importantly, our bodies require the correct nutrients to fuel us and keep us in good health throughout our day.
There are a number of benefits when it comes to opting for a healthy meat platter at your event or get-together. If you’re hosting a corporate lunch or work meeting, for example, providing your workers with a healthy platter will energise and embolden them, rather than make them sluggish or overly full. Packed full of protein and essential nutrients, a meat platter will actively help to boost the productivity of the workspace while providing your workers with equally delicious cuisine.
Additionally, health-centric meals are becoming an increasingly popular and trendy choice amongst Londoners, who are becoming more informed about their wellness and the effects of a good diet on one’s wellbeing. By serving nutritious platters, your guests can enjoy the added health benefits of eating more consciously while still indulging in the festivities of a professionally catered event.
Healthy Meaty Platter: What Makes It Health-Conscious?
While a meat platter can provide a great deal of protein, how it is prepared and what it is paired with heavily contribute to its nutrition. Here at Angie’s, we work hard to see that the ingredients we use and the ways we prepare our meat platters ensures their nutritional value and impeccable flavour.
We use minimally processed ingredients that have been locally sourced, prioritising, fresh, whole ingredients above all else. Additionally, most of our dishes are prepared with cooking techniques such as grilling or roasting to avoid the saturated fats associated with frying. In our meat platters, we prefer to use lean protein options such as chicken, beef or turkey. This ensures that our platters aren’t overly fatty or heavy, making it both healthier and easier on the palate.
We also try to limit the amount of sodium that we add to all of our platters, using only as much as is required and not overloading like many processed foods do. We also set out platters in well-planned portion sizes, offering our meat platters with a healthy counterbalance of plant-based accompaniments, like fresh salads, healthy dips and whole grain crackers. Together, this ensures a balanced and healthy meat platter that is rich with not only protein, but plenty of other nutrients too.
Why A Meat Platter Is Ideal For Any Occasion
As we have established, Angie’s catered delivery is suited to serving a wide variety of occasions and events. We have catered many corporate events or work lunches and are very experienced in attending the specific needs of professional events. We also cater for fitness and wellness focused events, which value our dedication to fresh and high quality ingredients that make up our healthy platters.
However, we don’t exclusively serve the professional world. Angie’s is equally capable and willing to deliver to homes, where we travel to your very doorstep to drop off delicious and healthy meals for a family-get together or romantic dinner for two. Angie’s is a great way to ensure a memorable catering experience without any of the added hassle, offering peace of mind to any host.
If you’re not sure which healthy meat platter to order for your event, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best and healthiest meat platters available, taken directly from our extensive menu.
Chicken And Pistachio Pesto
For a refreshing yet delicious meal, look no further than our Chicken And Pistachio Pesto meat platter. This decadent meat platter centres around tender pieces of chicken that have been roasted in a bright and zesty honey and lemon marinade. It is served alongside a decadent pesto made from pistachio, rocket, lemon and parmesan, making it the perfect rich, nutty and herbaceous companion to the light and tender chicken. To finish the platter off, the dish is topped with fresh sun blushed tomatoes, echoing the zest of the chicken and giving a refreshing crunch to every other bite.
This meat platter stands out as an excellent healthy choice because it manages to bring plenty of protein to the table while still staying very lean in terms of saturated fat. The lemon, herb-forward salad and tomatoes are all rich in vitamin C, which bolsters the immune system and allows us to better fight off infection. Finally, the pistachio and parmesan within the pesto are not only rich in protein, but full of healthy fats and oils that our bodies need.
Miso Salmon
Who can say no to our mouthwatering Miso Salmon platter? This meat platter features fillets of flaky and rich salmon glazed in a rich miso sauce, full of dark and complex umami flavours. To contract this relatively heavy pairing, we serve this protein atop a tangy and crisp salad of pickled cucumber, dill and chili. The contrast between dark and light offers a complete and satisfying flavour profile for this platter.
This is a great meat platter for the more health conscious. The flaky salmon fillets are rich with not only protein, but also omega 3 oils. Omega 3 oils are an important and sought after nutrient known to benefit neurological processes and keep the brain healthy. Additionally, our miso glaze is packed full of healthy nutrients. Miso, made from fermented soya, is known to promote the growth of healthy bacteria within the gut, which can aid digestion and trigger system-wide positive change throughout the body. The crisp salad is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, helping keep a multitude of organ functions in good running order.
Turkey Kofta
For our succulent Turkey Kofta meat platter, we’ve opted to modify this traditional Turkish dish by replacing lamb or beef mince with turkey meat for the perfect healthy kofta. These bite-size meat balls are filled with sweetcorn and courgette and served with a sweet chili and lime mayo, offering a truly perfect way to top off a satisfying bite. To give this dish a bit of textural intrigue and a bright finish, it’s served alongside fresh lemon wedges and crunchy pea shoots.
This dish stands out as especially healthy due to its choice of meat. Turkey is far leaner than the traditional lamb or beef, while maintaining the same high protein content that is important for muscle maintenance and building. The vegetables woven into the kofta contribute not only to the nutritiousness or deliciousness of the meal, but are also rich in fibre, which is key for digestion. The lemon wedges and pea shoots are both replete with vitamins such as C and vitamin A, helping support overall immune health.
Rump Of Beef With Chimichurri
Our decadent Rump Of Beef With Chimichurri meat platter features slabs of rare rump steak slathered in a hot and complex chimichurri sauce of red peppers and tomato. This kingly feast is garnished with fresh parsley and a tangy red wine vinegar dressing to top it all off.
This meat platter heavily features beef, which is a protein dense option full of iron, helping keep one strong and full of energy. The red pepper and chimichurri sauce is made the traditional way, and thus contains a generous dash of olive oil. Olive oil is absolutely full of healthy fats and oils our body needs to power itself. The fresh parsley garnish does more than simply decorate and flavour, it’s full of vitamin C and vitamin K too! The latter is especially important in maintaining bone health. Finally, the tangy kick from the red wine vinegar boosts metabolism and aids in digestion, which is much valued after a generous meal such as this one.
