Carb Conscious

Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.

Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.

Plant-Forward

Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

From the Test Kitchen

A bit sweet and pleasantly herbal, fennel seeds are the key to tonight’s gourmet meal. We’re using them both whole and ground to season our steaks, along with rosemary and sage: in a hot pan, the blend forms a delicious crust. The dish comes together with roasted potato, tossed with aromatic garlic oil, and a sophisticated salad of crisp green beans, shaved parmesan, marinated shallot, and almonds.

Cook Along

1 Prepare & roast the potato:

Preheat the oven to 475ºF. Heat a small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the potato. Halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer.Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and transfer to a medium bowl.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the garlic oil:

While the potato roasts, wash and dry the remaining fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Place in a bowl with the vinegar. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Roughly chop the almonds. Peel the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester). Place in a bowl. Top with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

3 Cook the steaks:

While the potato continues to roast, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend on both sides. In a medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes.

4 Blanch & shock the green beans:

While the steaks cook, fill a medium bowl with ice water; add a pinch of salt. Set aside. Add the green beans to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly softened. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, immediately transfer to the bowl of ice water. Let stand until the green beans are completely cool. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a medium bowl.

5 Make the green bean salad:

While the steaks rest, to the bowl of shocked green beans, add the marinated shallot (including any marinating liquid), almonds, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6 Finish & plate your dish:

Add as much of the garlic oil as you’d like to the bowl of roasted potato. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Divide the finished potato, green bean salad, and sliced steaks between 2 dishes. Garnish the salad with the cheese. Enjoy!
