MARINADES AND DRESSINGS

Passionfruit is a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into
savory applications. Its hearty, rich
flavor complements meat, poultry
and seafood, while its pleasant, aromatic notes add another dimension
to condiments. Passionfruit's flavor
profile provides an ideal canvas for a
layering of flavors, including various
levels of heat.
"It adds a sweet, yet tart note to
salsas or spicy sauces," says Don
Giampetro, vice-president of innovation and quality at iTi Tropicals.

"Passionfruit works well in marinades, dressings and vinaigrettes
by contributing tart acidity. Consider
combining passionfruit juice, aged
balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive
oil, salt and pepper to create a passion-filled salad dressing and meat
marinade."
Tropical and citrus fruits complement many seafood dishes. Passionfruit is no exception. Puree can
be mixed into shrimp tartare and
adorned with whole pink peppercorns. Add a little capsaicin and

soy sauce to a smooth passionfruit
dipping sauce and serve with sushi.
A simple sauce, maybe with some
lemon notes, can glaze baked salmon or add a tropical layer of flavor to
braised raw tuna.
Passionfruit puree blends well with
maple syrup for a poultry or pork tenderloin marinade and glaze. It can
also get spiced up with shaved ginger root or minced garlic. Substitute
some of the pineapple juice in sweet
and sour sauce with passionfruit for
a unique spin on this Asian classic. 
