Saffron Road Spices Up Summer with Four New Frozen Entrees

The brand’s heat-and-eat meals use mindfully-sourced, high-quality ingredients

to take eaters around the world in six minutes or less

STAMFORD, Conn. (June 20, 2023) –  Today, Saffron Road Foods adds four new recipes to its lineup of delicious, frozen entrees: Moroccan-Inspired Chicken & Potatoes, Coconut Cauliflower Curry, Chickpea Masala and Chicken Enchiladas Al Chipotle. The dishes are inspired by the flavors of Morocco–a new region for the brand–India and Mexico respectively, and offer eaters the opportunity to travel around the world via their plate with each microwaveable entree, ready in six minutes or less.

“We’re very excited to introduce Morocco as the latest stop on our culinary Journey to Better®, and bring our customers the vibrant, earthy flavors of North Africa. We’re so proud of these new entrees and their ability to deliver restaurant-quality global meals right from your freezer,” said Chef John Umlauf, Senior VP of Culinary Operations. “At Saffron Road, our kitchens are held to the highest standards of culinary excellence, and our meals are prepared just like a restaurant with no shortcuts: we caramelize and deglaze the mirepoix and tomato paste, pan-roast the vegetables, and slow-simmer the sauces, all using authentic, wholesome ingredients native to the regions of each recipe.”

The new dishes include:

• Moroccan-Inspired Chicken & Potatoes (gluten free): A nod to Northern Africa, this robust casserole of potatoes, peas, and white meat chicken is swirled with a roasted red pepper, tomato, and garlic sauce. Will launch at Kroger in August.
• Coconut Cauliflower Curry (vegan, gluten free):  A vegan combination of roasted cauliflower & white beans is served in a rich curry of coconut cream and warming Indian spices. Now available at Giant Carlisle, Harris Teeter and Lowes. Will launch at Kroger in August.
