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.

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

To make a deliciously rich topping for our patties (which feature smoky gouda cheese) we’re caramelizing onion with brown sugar, savory worcestershire sauce, and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes for flavorful contrast.

Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Remove any husks and silks from the corn, then wash and dry the cobs. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater; place in a medium bowl. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Halve the buns.

Cook the patties & caramelize the onion
2 Cook the patties & caramelize the onion

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties to one side of the pan. Add the sliced onion to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is slightly softened and the patties are browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter); evenly top with the grated cheese. Continue to cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is browned and the patties are cooked through (the center will still be red or pink). Leaving the onion in the pan, transfer the cooked patties to a plate. To the pan, add the sugar, worcestershire sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer the caramelized onion to a bowl. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

5 Finish & serve your dish

In a bowl, combine the creamy mustard sauce and half the spice blend (you will have extra). Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, cooked patties, and caramelized onion. Serve the burgers with the cooked corn on the side. Evenly top the corn with the spiced mustard sauce. Enjoy!
