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.

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared  Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato  Kale  Italian chicken sausage mix  Chili flake  Yellow onion  Italian seasoning  Chicken stock concentrate  Parmesan cheese  Not used: Demi baguette  The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through.  Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
