Honey butter BBQ pork cutlets with mashed sweet potatoes & Lemony green beans

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Sweet potato 
Honey 
Sweet and Smoky BBQ seasoning 
Sour cream 
Lemon 
Pork cutlet 
Green beans 
Chili flake 

Extras:
Butter

The honey butter:

I made this first by slightly heating the butter and adding honey. This was placed in the fridge while the rest of the food was being prepared.

The mashed sweet potatoes:

I steamed the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes before mashing. These are easy to do you just add the sour cream and mix it well to finish it off.

The protein:
After seasoning the cutlets and heating up a nonstick skillet I cooked the cutlets for 3 minutes per side and then removed from the heat to rest

The greenbeans:

The green beans went into the same steamer basket used for the sweet potatoes and were left there for four minutes so they were cooked but still crunchy.

The plate:


Ok this plate is hilarious and the meat looks like a weird egg dish to me for some reason. The cutlets for this dinner were slightly bigger than ones I've gotten before and I was happy with that. At first I was a little weirded out by putting honey butter on the meat but it worked really well.

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

The bacon was placed on a wrap set into a baking tray and placed into the oven for 8 minutes.  While the bacon was cooking for the first 8 minutes I added the spices and veggie broth to a small pan and began to eat them up until I got a syrupy liquid.  Once the eight minutes were up I brushed one side with the sauce and placed back into the oven for three minutes.
