Sesame beef tacos, with quick pickled veggies and chili sour cream 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:

Radish 
Scallion 
Persian cucumber 
Cilantro 
Red cabbage 
Korean chili flakes 
Garlic powder 
White wine vinegar 
Sour cream 
Sesame oil  

Substituting:
5 oz Ground Bison
Baby level hot sriracha 
1/4 cup Rice
Tamari sauce 
Lime juice 

Not used:
Soy sauce 
Actual hot sriracha 
Flour tortilla 
Ground Beef 

The pickles:

Pickled veggies were very quick prep I would suggest adding the vinegar and sugar together and stirring them until the sugar dissolves. Once that was done I added the mixture to the sliced veggies and then did the salt/pepper. This prevents having granulated sugar dropping to the bottom of the bowl.

The protein:

I substituted the ground beef for bison in this recipe. Using 5 oz total. The cook on this was relatively easy. I was warned that the Sriracha sent in the pack was the much hotter version so I substituted it. Because I have a larger bottle of baby spicy sriracha I was able to add that to taste. 

The rice:

Since I can't have the flour tortillas I substituted for cilantro lime rice. This was the first thing I prepared and it was set to the side while I worked on the other portions of the meal. My ratio was 1/4 cup rice and 3/4 cup water, lime and cilantro to taste.

The sauce:

The sauce was very easy. You just take the sour cream, put some chili flakes in, add Salt and Pepper and you're done.

Extras:

To omit gluten product I had to switch out some components. The rice and tamari sauce were good substitutes for these items and I'm sure it didn't change the taste too much.

The plate:


Today I learned, I really like sriracha! I ended up using a good amount on this dish actually. The pickles were super good so all of those went into the bowl. 

The portion I made was rather large so there are leftovers. This is definitely one I would try again, maybe omitting the rice because the veggie meat mix along with the Pickled veggies were more than enough for one meal.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

Dinner on Spice Islands

Making: Sweet and spicy pork chops with caramelized onions, sweet potatoes and asparagus. 1 serving prepared  Here's what I have: 1/2  Cup Broth  6 oz Pork chops  1/2  Cup Sweet potato cubed 8 oz Asparagus  1/4  Cup White onion  ** 1 Tbsp Butter cut in half Spice Island sweet and spicy seasoning How to prepare: Since sweet potatoes take a while to cook in the oven I decided to steam them. While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside.   The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
