Sauces to decorate the plate ..

Peeps , I need some ideas :frowning:

Usually I decorate the plate with ketchup which i have put in a nozzeled bottle and it easily forms designs on the plate to serve with starters …

I have tried that bottle with mint sauce but its not as smooth as the ketchup so it doesnt come out of the bottle :no: .. I place it in little dots using a spooon.

I was thinking of using Mustard maybe but not everyone like mustard :hmmm:

What other choices do we have ? what sauces can be used to form designs on a dinner plate?

I didn’t even know u can decorate plates using sauces.
I just left em in the jars & c’est tout. :hinna:
I’m really hopeless!!!:frowning:

I’d love to see pictures so I can learn… :smiley:

You can thin any sauce or condiment with some water and use it CB.

Chocolate and/or Butterscotch sauce is one of my favorites for drizzling to decorate a dessert plate. And don't forget to use icing sugar as well!

Re: Sauces to decorate the plate ..

hmmmmm , adding water , sounds intersting .. I am going to do that next ...

Do you use a bottle or baking nosel kind of a thing or do you just drizzle using a spoon?

How about using Mayo in a squirty bottle?

Re: Sauces to decorate the plate ..

I just drizzle with a spoon.....or actually the back of a wooden spoon cuz it is round and drizzles better.

Ira , Mayo is good ... but i am usually after adding color to the plate .. ketchup is bright red and mint chuney is bright green , so the combo just makes the plate look so nice and bright ...

White will seem like part of the plate , since i have super white dinner plates :( .... any other options? :@:

I’ve used tahina with parsley.. while serving appetizers such as falafel, kibbeh and mini cheese-fatayer.

Tahina with beetroot makes such a pretty pink :wub:

Gina , great ideas those :lifey:

Mayo has a good consistency like ketchup. If you happen to like mayo based stuff...you can always make pesto mayo...or even add roasted red pepper pesto or other condiments and mix into mayo and then drizzle that over an appetizer or on the plate for decoration
