Pork Chorizo Burgers

-

I got this recipe from Blue Apron - of all the blue apron recipes I've tried, this is definitely my favorite! It is incredibly easy to make and easy for a weeknight meal! Pair it with a salad for a delectable meal :)

Ingredients
- chorizo - we used about 1.3 lbs (this made about 6-8 patties)
- mayo - about 2 tablespoons
- fig spread - about 1 tablespoon
- panko crumbs - we used 1/2 cup or a little more
- red onions
- sliced red peppers
- bread: can do potato buns, brioche buns, or even wheat bread which is all I had
- +/- cheese: we used shredded white cheddar cheese because that's all we had in our fridge

1. Combine chorizo with panko crumbs. Depending on the amount of chorizo, you can add more or less panko bread crumbs. No need to add salt because chorizo is salty enough. Add pepper to taste.

2. In a pan over medium heat, add red peppers and onions and cook. Should be about 2-3 minutes. Remove onions and sliced red peppers.

3. In the same pan, add additional oil. Cook pork chorizo patties. Cover the pan. Cook each side about 4 minutes. Can turn heat from medium to low-medium if needed. Add cheese to top of the patty about 1 minute before patty is done and cover the pan.

4. Make fig mayo with 2 parts mayo and 1 part fig. We did 2 tablespoons of mayo + 1 tablespoon fig. Mix together.

4. On a potato bun (or even toasted wheat bread), spread fig mayo on bread. Add chorizo burger. Add peppers and onions over the patty.



Enjoy!

Add salt and vinegar to clean and lightly scrub. 2. Rinse 1 additional time with cold water. 3. In a large stock pot, boil water. Add bones to the broth. Boil for about 2-3 minuets to remove the impurities. 4. Dump the bones and water into a clean sink and rinse the bones with cold water to remove any residue. Best to also lightly rub off the residue with your hands.

Corn Potage Soup (a la Curry House!)

-
My boo LOVES corn potage soup at Curry House so I decided to try my hand at it. Very minimal amount of ingredients and very quick to make! Made the mistake of buying frozen sweet white corn and it came out a little too sweet. Next time will try just regular corn. And also set some corn aside (before you puree it) to give it a little more texture. My imitation of Curry House's Corn Potage Soup Ingredients: - 2 tbs unsalted butter - 1/2 medium onion, diced - 2 tbs flour - 2 cups frozen or fresh corn - 1.5 cup chicken stock - 1.5 cup milk - salt and pepper to taste - green onion for garnish 1. Heat butter over medium heat. 2. When butter has melted, add diced onion. Cook until unions are translucent and then turn heat to low. 3. Add flour and stir to mix - will look a like paste 4. Slowly add chicken stock and stir while adding to prevent lumps 5. After all the stock as been added, turn heat to medium high and bring to boil 6. Once broth is boiling, add corn and

Rau Muong Xao Toi (Stir-fried Water Spinach and Garlic)

-

There are a couple variations of this recipe. Rau muong (water spinach) is a simple vegetable dish that goes great with fried fish or meat. In Vietnam, this was once a staple vegetable of the poor. Now, it's present in many Vietnamese cuisines as a garnish, side dish, or main ingredient. No matter how you decide to stir fry your water spinach, you must start with blanching the rau muong. Food is blanched to soften, or to party or fully cook it, or to remove a strong taste. Blanching is the process in which you plunge food (can be done with fruit, veggies, pasta) into boiling water and then remove after a brief interval. Food is then submerged in iced water or washed under cold water. Placing it under cold water effectively haltens the cooking process. Ingredients: 1 big bunch of water spinach 2-3 cloves of garlic Oil Red bird's eye chili pepper (optional) sugar bot nem ga fish sauce (variation 1) maggi seasoning (variation 2) Blanching the water spinach 1.
