Tesco introduces meal deal shake-up to supermarket stores nationwide

Tesco has made a huge change across all of its stores by introducing the Spring Menu for its Finest dine in food range. The supermarket chain has introduced nine new to the range, and customers can pick them up nationwide now.

For those who have not experienced the Dine In Meal Deal, it’s a package deal of a complete ready meal for two for £15 with a Tesco Clubcard. Overall, it consists of one main course, one side, and a dessert – plus an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.

Other supermarket chains have similar offers, and each one often revamps the dishes offered for the different seasons throughout the year. Tesco's Finest Meal Deal range includes more than 20 different items, including nine new ones for this spring.

One of the new spring-inspired recipes include a Pork Crackling Joint with a Norfolk Cider Jus. The dish - priced at £7.50 by itself - features a slow cooked rind-on pork belly and a sachet of pork and cider cream sauce.

According to Tesco's website, the pork has been cooked for three hours and 30 minutes and has been "expertly prepared" for crispy crackling. Tesco says this menu item pairs well with a "crisp" white wine.

Another new item is its Manchego Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Priced at £7.50 on its own, it sees two chicken breasts stuffed with cheddar cheese, full-fat soft cheese, Manchego, and red pepper melt in a sundried tomato sauce, with marinated semi-dried cherry tomatoes with a smoked paprika and chilli sprinkle.

Other new additions to Tesco's spring menu include a Ranch Steak with Cafe De Paris Melt, Creamy Chicken, Bacon and leek Pie, and Beef Brisket with Bone Marrow and Cabernet Sauvignon Sauce.

For sides, customers can choose from options like Creamy Buttery Mash, Triple Cook Chips with Cornish Sea Salt, and Creamed Spinach. One of the new additions also includes parmentier potatoes with a lemon and herb aioli.

For dessert, Tesco has introduced a new Lemon & Stem Ginger Posset, which combines whipping cream with Sicilian lemon juice and crystallised stem ginger pieces. Alongside this, shoppers can pick up Belgian dark chocolate & mascarpone cheesecake Slices and passion fruit and raspberry cheesecake slices. All the dessert options cost £3.50 on their own.

To whet the whistle, you can choose from alcoholic options such as Finest South African Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside non-alcoholic alternatives like Coke Zero and Lucky Saint Alcohol Free Lager.

The range still includes a number of customer favourites such as Lasagne al Forno and Salted Caramel Profiteroles.
