A sweet Thai dish inspired by the Overwatch Capture the Flag map, Ayutthaya.
Recipes inspired by Overwatch
I've been playing Overwatch pretty much every week since Winter 2016. I'm not a big shooter fan, and only really played games like Pokémon, Sims and Professor Layton beforehand. Personally I love all the lore, there has been a lot of effort put into the story behind Overwatch and I'm always eager to learn more.
I'm a D.va main and only recently got her Golden guns. I'm also a fan of playing Symmetra, Torbjorn, Widowmaker, Ana, Lucio and Junkrat. I play this game with a few friends and have a lot of fun doing so. As a game I love so much, there's a lot of inspiration for new recipes, I'm bound to come up with.
Ana’s Homemade Family Koshari
A bulky Egyptian dish for Overwatch’s Ana. A vegetarian meal that utilises pasta, rice and lentils mixed with a tomato sauce and crispy onion garnish.
Flashbang Cheesy Drumsticks
McCree heaves a blinding grenade that explodes shortly after it leaves his hand. The blast staggers enemies in a small radius.
Efi’s Nigerian Fried Rice
A staple dish for Orisa and her engineer, Efi. A popular choice in Nigeria cooked with Beef Liver (but can be swapped with Prawns)
Winston’s Moon Pizza
Using flatbreads received through Degusta, here’s a sophisticated yet cheap lunch inspired by Winston from Overwatch.
Widowmaker’s Boeuf à la Ficelle
Translated to Beef on a String, this French dish is perfect for the ruthless assassin, Widowmaker.
Bastion Omnic Oil Soup
To help fix up a struggling Bastion, apply some Omnic Oil and it’ll be right as rain. This recipe has added meat and vegetables suitable for humans!
Lucio’s Moqueca de Peixe
Much like the beat bopping Lucio from Overwatch, this recipe is a popular favourite by Brazilian locals!
Ashe’s Dynamite Chorizo Ranchero
Quickfire Ashe is great in Overwatch games for blasting opponents left and right and this dynamite ranchero should knock your socks off with spice and flavour!
Symmetra’s Hyderabadi Curry
According to the Overwatch lore, Symmetra grew up in Hyderabad, so it seemed fitting that I use that as inspiration for her meal.
Torbjorn’s Turret Bullet Pyttipanna
A Pyttipanna is Swedish for “small pieces in pan”, and with inspiration from the bullets shot from Torbjorn’s turret creates a yummy dish similar to a hash.
Moira’s Traditional Colcannon
A traditional Irish dish served with a poached egg topping is a great small meal or lunch for any Moira fan!
Sombra’s Down-Loaded Vegan Nachos
Known for her hacking skills, I’ve crafted a Mexican Nachos meal for Sombra that has been developed into a vegan alternative.
Mercy’s Zürcher Geschnetzeltes
A traditional Swiss meal for a Switzerland born Overwatch character, Mercy. Heroes will never die when eating this delicious meal!
Zarya’s Protein Ukha
A strong character like Zarya would enjoy this Russian dish: an Ukha soup with Quinoa added in to help boost the protein content.
