600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
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.
Mediterranean Diet
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.

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.

Tonight’s recipe borrows from a favorite culinary tradition of Eastern Europe: pairing a hearty pork roast with sweet apples and red cabbage. To bring out the flavor of Junami apples (a particularly juicy, crisp variety), we’re glazing them and seasoning them with cinnamon—a classic touch. And as a base for our vibrant red cabbage, we’re cooking brown sugar with a bit of vinegar and water to make a delicious sweet and sour glaze.

1
Sear & roast the pork:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season all sides with salt and pepper. In a large, high-sided pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a foil-lined sheet pan. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until cooked through. (An instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork should register 145°F.) Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for at least 5 minutes.
2
Cook the barley:
While the pork sears, add the barley to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 25 to 27 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Off the heat, add half the butter. Stir to thoroughly combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside in a warm place.
3
Prepare the ingredients:
While the barley cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel, core and medium dice the apples. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Cut out and discard the cabbage core; thinly slice the leaves.
4
Glaze the apples:
Heat the pan of reserved fond on medium-high until hot. Add the apples; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 5 to 6 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the cinnamon and ¼ of the sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until well combined. Add ⅓ cup of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 6 to 7 minutes, or until cooked off. Stir in ¼ of the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat. Transfer to a serving dish. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
5
Braise the cabbage:
In the same pan, combine the remaining sugar and vinegar and ¼ cup of water. Heat on medium-high until the sugar has melted. Add the onion and remaining butter; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the cabbage. Cook, covering with foil, 9 to 10 minutes, or until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
6
Finish & serve your dish:
Find the lines of muscle (or grain) of the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Add any juices from the cutting board to the serving dish of glazed apples; stir to thoroughly combine. Transfer the cooked barley to a serving dish; top with the braised cabbage and sliced pork. Serve with the glazed apples on the side. Enjoy!
