Balsamic fig chicken with roasted potatoes and mixed greens.

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:


Yukon Gold potato 
Rosemary 
Balsamic vinegar 
Chicken stock 
Lemon (not used)
Shallot 
Chicken breasts 
Fig Jam 
Mixed greens 

Additions:

Cucumber 
Cherry tomatoes

The potatoes:

The potatoes were tossed with olive oil, some of the Rosemary and salt then roasted in the oven for 25 minutes at 450

The sauce:

Like the lady recipe I decided to make this first. It went fairly quickly,  after heating up some oil and adding the shallot and rosemary I waited until the shallots were browned before adding the stock concentrate, vinegar, jam and a little bit of vegetable stock then reduced the sauce. 

The protein:

The chicken was started after the sauce was made. Adding a bit of pepper/salt then cooked for 7 minutes per side.

The salad:

I added some cucumber and cherry tomato to the salad and was unable to use the lemon in this bag because it was squishy and had a weird dent in it. I used the entire bag of salad because it's definitely a single serve amount. Apple cider vinegar was used as dressing.


The plate:


Because the sauce has vinegar in it, the salad being tossed with apple cider vinegar went really well. I don't think anything was missed by not using the squishy lemon.

Bonus: 

My fig tree is producing a fruit!

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
