In February 2024, we participated in the competition "Best School Lunch." Out of 68 teams, we made it into the top 9. The finals took place on August 15, 2024, in Nitra. Our school canteen team consists of 13 talented chefs who lovingly prepare delicious meals for our pupils.
"We enhance our school menu with dried herbs in the sauce, giving it a delightful flavour. We use organic chicken breasts, which we marinate a day in advance to ensure they are tender and flavourful. We also strive to incorporate microgreens for garnish (grown by the children) to make the dishes more visually appealing," shared our food service manager, Lucia Naďová.

🍽 Recipe for the Competition Menu:
The day before, marinate whole chicken breasts in a herb and oil marinade (we use caraway seeds, marjoram, bay leaves, thyme, paprika, dried vegetables, and salt). Bake the marinated chicken breasts whole in an oven. Once done, cut the chicken breasts into slices. Sauté root vegetables with onions, blend them into a sauce, and add herbs and tomato purée for seasoning. Bake the rice in the oven. Garnish the dish with microgreens – we used pea sprouts.
