Reviewing:

Mexican pork and street corn tacos with lime Crema

2 servings prepared

Here's what you get:

Shallot

Lime

Tex-Mex paste

Ground pork

Chicken stock concentrate

Jalapeno

Sour cream

Corn

Southwest spice blend

Flour tortillas (not used)

Addition:

Mission gluten-free spinach herb wrap

Pickle veggies:

This was another quick pickled veggie item. The shallot, lime, sugar and jalapeno was added and set aside. Per instructions I occasionally stirred the veggie mix.

The crema:

For the crema sour cream pepper lime zest, veggie stock and a pinch salt were combined.

The protein:

A nonstick pan was used, after draining and drying the corn I charred with a little bit of avocado oil. After charring that was removed from the pan to a separate Bowl.

The pork was cooked with a little bit of avocado oil with salt and pepper until completely browned and then they spice mix and paste were stirred in. A quarter cup of stock was used to finish it off and the mix was reduced.

Extras:

Since I have to omit gluten I'm using a Gluten free tortilla. Unfortunately I was unable to get plain so hopefully this plays well with the rest of the flavors.

The plate:

This one was pretty awesome. The meat was flavorful and my tortilla substitute didn't get in the way. I'd definitely like to try this with beef at some point.

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

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 ...
