Blue Apron ~ Lemon-Butter Salmon

I am a big Salmon fan, so look forward to the fish dishes. Tonight was Lemon-butter Salmon with a creamy barley and zucchini salad. Another winner.

Blue Apron ~ Spiced Lamb and Beef Tagine

Tonight's meal was the North African dish of Spiced Lamb and Beef Tagine with Lemon-Garlic Couscous and Labneh.  I am not a fan of lamb, but hadn't cooked in a long time, so decided to try this recipe.  Tagline is a traditional North African dish of ground lamb, vegetables and Medjool dates.  It was served on garlic-infused couscous.  It was delicious!

Blue Apron ~ Greek Pizza

Tonight's dish was Greek Pizza with Kalamata Olives, Feta and Pea Tips.  The pizza dough was difficult to work with, so I feared how this pizza might turn out.  As it was, it was delicious.  I had never had pea tips before, but they really added to the dish.

Blue Apron ~ Crispy Cod Tacos

Crispy Cod Tacos with Chipotle-Cabbage Slaw.  The fish didn't turn out all that well, and I wasn't crazy about the flour tortillas, but the chipotle-cabbage slaw was delicious.

Blue Apron ~ Hoisin and Shiitake Burgers

These Hoisin and Shiitake burgers with Miso-Mayonnaise and Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges were the best burgers yet.  The Shiitake mushrooms were dried, but rehydrated in hot water then chopped and added to the ground beef along with the hoisin sauce, garlic and scallion whites.  The burgers were then topped with ribbons of bok choy and a savory-sweet condiment made with mayo and a miso paste.  

The roasted sweet potatoes were the perfect accompaniment (and I am not a sweet potato fan).

Absolutely fabulous.

Blue Apron ~ Provincal Chicken and Potato Stew

Tonight's dinner could have used a difference balance of chicken vs. potato.  The stew, which was influenced by southern France, was tasty as it combined the classic Herbes de Province with chicken, chard, tomato and potato.  There was far more potato to chicken, however, so Larry couldn't eat all that much.

I didn't make the Ailoi and garlic toast, but instead supplemented the meal with a Caesar Salad.
