Meatless meals 4

Making:

Veggie bowl with sun-dried tomato and Parmesan

1 serving prepared 

Here's what I have:


3 cups Kale
1.5 cups Potato
1/4 cup Baby corn
1 Shallot 
2 tbsp Sun dried tomatoes
1 tsp Chicken stock concentrate
1/2 tsp Garlic paste

Not pictured:
2 oz Vegetable stock
1 oz Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp Bacon butter

Preparation:

Using a hot non-stick pan I melted the bacon butter and add the potatoes. The potatoes were rolled in the butter to make sure they were well coated and the heat turn to medium. The light was placed on the pan and the potatoes allowed to cook for 10 minutes.

After they've been cooking for 10 minutes I return the heat too high and added the shallot, stock concentrate and garlic. These are cooked until the shallots were going clear. Next I added 1 oz of vegetable stock and sun-dried tomato. These were cooked until the liquids were reduced and the potatoes are able to be poked easily with a fork. I've been removed this mixture from the pan. 

The rest of the vegetable stock was then added to the pan along with the kale and baby carrots. These were mixed/cooked until the kale was wilted and the baby carrots were hot.

Most of the kale/corn mix was placed on one side of a bowl and the potato mix on the other I decided to add some Parmesan cheese as well.

The plate!

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 ...
