Schne-frost has introduced two new frozen products for the vegetarian market under its Avita brand. The Löningen, Germany-headquartered company’s cream-filled crispy Vegetable Pockets and meatless Vegetable Köttbullar in 330-gram retail packs and 1,000-gram bags are intended to add more variety for consumers seeking non-meat dishes that are convenient to prepare.

Whether enjoyed with a fruity dip or alongside oven-baked vegetables, they can be plated in a variety of ways. Preparation is quick and easy using a combi-steamer, oven or deep fryer.

A vegetarian variant of the Swedish Meatball, Vegetable Köttbullar features peas, corn, paprika, green cabbage and onions seasoned with hearty spices. The small veggie balls may be offered as a side dish served with vegetable risotto, as well as a snack accented with various flavors of dips.

Rustico Frites Make the Scene

The irregularly shaped product has a natural appearance and can be prepared in a combi-steamer without adding fat. The potatoes may accompany hamburgers, traditional steak meals and other main course proteins, or simply enjoyed as a snack served with mayonnaise or ketchup.

Meanwhile, Mini Rösti Cheese Cubes will soon join the Schne-Frost finger food range of products. Consisting of freshly grated premium quality potatoes, cheese and spices, they fit well as a crispy topping for salad or as a tapas snack.
