prepared meals boston

When you come to Main Course Market, you’ll find everything you need to make a delicious dinner for your family or just yourself. You’ll also find the best prepared meals in the Boston area, so you can have all the benefits of a homemade meal without having to cook.

On the days when you are doing the cooking, making a meal feel special is easier than you might think. All you have to do is choose the right ingredients. Two things that everyone knows go well together are meat and cheese, but which ones?

 

Let us help you make dinner tonight by recommending two cheeses to pair with beef, pork, and chicken.

 

Beef

  • Bleu Cheese: The strong, pungent flavors of blue cheese stand up to the rich, bold flavors of beef. Try pairing a juicy steak with a creamy bleu cheese like Gorgonzola or Roquefort. Whether you crumble on top of your warm or put some in your leftovers sandwich, beef and bleu cheese are the perfect flavor combo. 
  • Cheddar: The sharp, nutty flavor of cheddar cheese is a classic pairing for beef. Try putting a slice of extra-sharp cheddar on your burger or some mild cheddar in your roast beef sandwich.

 

Pork

  • Brie: The mild, buttery flavor of brie cheese is a good match for the delicate flavor of pork. Whether you spread it across some roast pork or serve it alongside a pork tenderloin, the flavors and textures will pair beautifully.
  • Gouda: The nutty, caramel-like flavor of gouda cheese is a good match for the rich flavor of pork. Try pairing a smoked pork chop with a smoked gouda or a pork schnitzel with an aged gouda.

 

Chicken

  • Chèvre: The fresh, tangy flavor of chèvre cheese pairs well with the mild flavor of chicken. Try pairing a grilled chicken breast with fresh chèvre or putting whipped chèvre in chicken salad.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Chicken and parmesan are a common pairing, and for good reason. The sharp, salty flavor of parmesan brings out the rich flavor of chicken. Parmesan is a great addition to any Italian-style meal, so go ahead and sprinkle some grated parmesan on whatever chicken and pasta dish you’re making!
