True Foods Revamps Signature Menu
08.11.16
True Food Kitchen at Fashion Island in Newport Beach just introduced new changes to its signature menu-- the menu highlights ingredients with natural health benefits based on the principals of Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet.
The new menu offers re-invented favorites such as the Roasted Toybox Squash, Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta and Grilled Avocado. Vegetarian “Bowls” can be topped with a protein such as tofu, chicken, steak or shrimp to create a healthy, hearty dish including the Ancient Grains bowl featuring miso glazed sweet potato, turmeric, charred onion, snow pea, grilled Portobello, avocado and hemp seed and the Spicy Panang Curry with organic potato, long bean, bok choy, carrot, Thai basil and coconut broth.
Handcrafted artisanal pizzas feature homemade tomato sauce and a rustic spelt and flax crust, also made in house. The new Summer Squash Pizza features broccolini, sweet onion and lemon ricotta replaces the Braised Artichoke Pizza, a seasonal spring favorite.
True Food’s popular salad category, made famous by Dr. Weil’s famous Organic Tuscan Kale Salad, now features a Summer Ingredient Salad featuring a fresh medley of roasted asparagus, garbanzo bean, cauliflower, broccolini, wax bean, mint, Manchego cheese and pistachio tossed in a Sicilian Vinaigrette.
The all-new Grass-Fed Burger is sourced from Strauss, American family farmers and ranchers and producers of sustainably-raised, antibiotic and hormone free, great-tasting beef, the Grass-Fed Burger features umami mushroom, caramelized onion, arugula, parmesan and mayonnaise on a flax seed bun.
The reinvented favorites like the Lasagna Bolognese has replaced the popular Turkey Lasagna and features house-made chicken sausage, mushroom, spinach, lemon ricotta and herbs between layers of gluten-free noodles.
New brunch offerings include the Organic Egg Sandwich featuring smashed avocado, Manchego cheese, smoked turkey and tomato on seeded bread.
Behind the bar, True Food Kitchen has mixed-up from scratch natural refreshers and cocktails featuring the season’s ripest produce The Watermelon Coconut Soda, Sparkling Wellness Tea and the Blueberry Royale cocktail.
Classics that will remain on the signature menu include the Spaghetti Squash Casserole, Edamame Dumplings, Scottish Steelhead, Sustainable Seabass, Kale Guacamole, Turkey Burger, Farmers Market Crudités, and desserts like the Flourless Chocolate Cake, among others.
