Reviewing:

Sweet chili pork bowl with bell pepper and peanuts

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Bell pepper 
Yellow onion 
Cilantro 
Lime 
Peanut 
Ground pork 
Sweet Thai chili sauce 

Not used:
Sweet soy glaze 
Jasmine rice 

Substitutes:
Honey/Tamari 
Cauliflower

The peanuts:

These are cooked using water and a little bit of sugar for the instructions until all of the liquid was dissolved in the pan. Once this was finished the peanuts were set to the side while I prepare the rest of the meal.

The onions and peppers:

These were cooked with a small bit of butter until the onions were going clear and everything had a nice color to it. This took around 8 minutes to complete.

The protein:

After the vegetables were done I have removed them to separate Bowl and began browning the ground pork. Once it was cooked through I added the onion and pepper mix back in and then continue cooking adding the tamari/honey mix and the sweet chili sauce. The lid was placed on the pot (heat on low) while I prepared the cauliflower.

Extras:

I replaced the rice with cauliflower, it was steamed for 12 minutes and then broken up with a potato masher.  The cauliflower was then prepared like the rice using the lime zest, juice and a bit of salt.

The plate:


Replacing the rice with cauliflower here was a great trade-off. The meal was still filling but less carb heavy. The peanuts, I think they would have worked a bit better if I had run them through a food processor first to break them up. That way I could have used less sugar, they were pretty good as is though.  I also enjoyed how colorful the plate was. I'd like to try this again with Cilantro Lime shrimp sometime.

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.
