In the entire gastronomic realm, there are food combinations that are very rich and very obvious, like chocolate and strawberries or pasta and tomato. What you may not know is that there are some other mixes that may sound strange but work just as well.
The fun of food is to experiment and enjoy. It wouldn't be the most adventurous to always eat the same thing, and while it's fine to have our go-to favorite dishes, it's also interesting to delve into new flavors and textures. That's why here we recommend some pairings that you should stop fearing to start enjoying.
Chocolate, olive oil, and salt
In fact, this is a typical Spanish dessert. All you need is a bit of dark chocolate on a toasted baguette and drizzle it with a little extra virgin olive oil and a few grains of coarse salt. We promise you haven't tried a dessert like this; it's silky, sweet, a little salty, and very crunchy. It's worth a try.
Bacon and prunes
It might be hard to find two more different ingredients than these, but it works. In fact, wrapping prunes in well-cooked bacon is gaining more fame at house parties in different cities. Another way to enjoy crispy bacon is in pieces along with dried blueberries.
Avocado
Okay, this may be a little harder to digest, but we promise it's a delight and a tradition in the country it comes from, Indonesia. What they do is prepare a strong coffee and mix it, instead of milk, with avocado. That's right, it may sound strange, but think more about the texture of the avocado than the flavor, and you'll understand how this mix delivers a rich coffee taste with a thick and creamy consistency.
Oysters and melon
With this alternative, you have to think freshness. You may have never seen this combination, but you can imagine that this seafood ingredient, so loved by gastronomic connoisseurs for its lightness, can perfectly combine with one of the most watery and subtle fruits out there. Additionally, the color of the melon adds a lot of aesthetics to a product that is not so aesthetically pleasing.
