This is a review of our 25th delivery from a weekly subscription box called Hello Fresh. This week we gave all three recipes four out of five stars. Calories ranged from 830 to 1000 and preparation time stated on the recipe cards ranges from 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Actual preparation time ranged from 50 to 57 minutes.
Balsamic Nectarine Duck Breasts with Zesty Rice and Watercress Salad
Anytime they offer duck, I order it since it's of high quality and so scrumptious. They always offer a delicious sauce with it also. The Balsamic Nectarine Sauce was incredibly scrumptious, I give it five stars! It's made with duck fat, shallot, nectarine, balsamic glaze, water, butter, mint, and stock concentrate. It had a chutney texture which I enjoy. The jasmine rice was really delicious with the addition of scallions, lemon zest, butter, salt, and pepper. Jasmine rice has a wonderful texture. The watercress salad had a very simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper which was tasty. While I enjoy watercress added to my salad or sandwich, I don't like it as much by itself. We gave this recipe four out of five stars. The duck and the sauce are given five stars, but the sides get three stars. It took 57 minutes for Hubby to prepare while the recipe states 60 minutes. It has 830 calories and it was a large and filling portion.
Grilled Chipotle Chicken Legs with Potatoes and Green Beans
Wow, the House of Webster Barbecue Sauce was incredibly yummy! I'm not a barbecue sauce fan so that's saying a lot. It was wonderful on the chicken leg. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Hubby is the barbecue fan, so I order it for him. The green beans were a bit unusual this time around. They suggested adding mustard, garlic, shallot, vinegar, butter, cilantro, salt, and pepper. At first bite, it tasted sour, but then it was really tasty and a really nice change since I'm not a big fan of green beans. This recipe took 50 minutes to prepare while the recipe card states 60 minutes. It has 860 calories and it was a large and filling portion.
Tuscan Sausage and Pepper Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Parmesan
We've ordered this recipe before and we really enjoyed it, so I ordered it again. Hubby was sent out of town on business at the last minute, so I made this one by my lonesome. I remembered that the last time there was too much food, so I used less spaghetti this time. It still makes three extra large portions or four large portions! I would have liked a bit more spice, so I gave it four out of five stars. The sweet Italian pork sausage is scrumptious. Anytime I see them offer it, I order it. I would have liked more parmesan cheese, but this one is already ringing in at 1000 calories. Mine was less since I split it into three portions instead of two. It took me 50 minutes to prepare at my slow pace while the recipe card states 45 minutes.
