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.

From the Test Kitchen

At the heart of this dish is our savory tomato chutney (made with ingredients traditional to Indian cuisine like tart tamarind, mustard seeds, and more), which helps create the vibrant sauce used to simmer our spiced beef, chickpeas, and vegetables until deliciously tender.

This recipe was created in partnership with the wellness experts at WW. To learn more about WW and SmartPoints® visit ww.com

tips & techniques
Prepare the ingredients & season the yogurt:
1 Prepare the ingredients & season the yogurt:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice into rings. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, combine the yogurt and 1 tablespoon of water; season with salt and pepper. 

Cook the beef:
2 Cook the beef:

Pat the beef dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the curry powder to coat (you may have extra). Toss to thoroughly coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned and just cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. 

Cook the vegetables:
3 Cook the vegetables:

Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan of reserved fond; heat on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chickpeas and sliced peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped garlic, tomato paste, and tomato chutney. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Add the demi-glace (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and 1/2 cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the chickpeas with the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
