Here's what you get:




Yellow onion
Cilantro
Lime
Ground pork
Chicken stock concentrate
Sour cream
Poblano pepper
Roma tomato
White wine vinegar
Southwest spice
Tomato paste
Chipotle powder
Monterey Jack cheese

Substitute:
Cauliflower

The cauliflower:

In a small saucepan the cauliflower was boiled with about a half cup of water first on high heat for about 2 minutes and then the heat was turned to medium low.

A little bit more water was added while the meat was cooking and at the end I used a potato masher to break up the cauliflower and then mixed it with some lime juice and cilantro.

The protein and veggies:

The ground pork with started first in a pan with a little bit of avocado oil Browning and breaking it up as I went. This was about 6 minutes per the directions. The meat was then removed from the pan. 

Next into the pan was the poblano and chopped onion these were cooked until soft before the ground pork was added backed into the pan. The Southwest spice, stop concentrate, half of the tomato paste, and 1/4 cup of vegetable broth was added. This was cooked on medium heat until the liquid was reduced.

The onions:

To make the pickled onions in a small bowl that slice onions was combined with the vinegar a quarter teaspoon of sugar and salt.

The crema:

To make the crema is sour cream half of the juice from the line and the Chipotle powder were mixed together.

The plate:


This was great as a bowl,  the pickled onions were a great addition adding a little bit of sweet to the dish. Note: I didn't use as much sugar as a recipe calls for.

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.
