Here's what you get:


Carrot
Zucchini
Persian cucumber
Garlic
Lemon
Smoked paprika
Basmati rice
Chicken stock concentrate
Yogurt
Sour cream
Middle Eastern spiced steak
Sliced almonds
Chili flake

The roasted veggies:

The oven was preheated to 450 degrees.

The carrots and zucchini were tossed with olive oil paprika, salt and pepper and roasted for 22 minutes.

The protein:

In a non-stick pan with a tiny bit of oil was added. Cook time was about 5 minutes per side and then the meat was sent to the side to rest.

The rice:

In a small pot the almonds were toasted for about 2 minutes on high heat before setting aside.

In the same pot bit of olive oil was added at medium-high heat and most of the garlic was tossed and holding aside a bit for the sauce. This was cooked until fragrant. After this the rice, water and stock concentrate were added. 

The pot was brought to a boil before turning down to a low simmer and the rice was cooked for a total of 18 minutes.

The tzatzki sauce:

The tzatziki sauce was made using the yogurt, sour cream, half the Cucumber, juice from the lemon, garlic and salt. These were all stirred together until combined and set to the side.

The plate:


The rice was great in this dish.  The steak had great flavor too. I'd definitely reorder or try to recreate this one again.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
