Two New Meals from Martha & Marley Spoon
I just love Martha & Marley Spoon, our time-saving meal-kit delivery service featuring so many of our delicious recipes and cooking ideas. After a busy day at work, it’s nice to know we can go home and prepare a beautiful and healthy dinner without the added stress of shopping for the ingredients.
Yesterday, while I was out of town for business meetings, I asked my executive assistant, Shqipe Berisha Lulanaj, to test two new Martha & Marley Spoon meal kits - Fried Chicken on a Biscuit with Pepper Honey & Cabbage Slaw and Asian Steak Salad with Charred Onions & Mint. Shqipe, who is newly married, enjoys trying new recipes and was glad to take on the task.
Both these recipes will be available for the week of June 11 - just click on any of the highlighted links to find out how to order. Enjoy these photos.
-
- Here is Shqipe in my kitchen ready to prepare the meals. All our kits include pre-portioned ingredients. I brought these two kits home from the office, but our service sends the kits to the home complete with everything needed to make the meal for two or four. It’s a superior, money saving, time saving meal-kit delivery system.
-
- This is the kit for making Fried Chicken on a Biscuit with Pepper Honey & Cabbage Slaw. All the ingredients are sourced to local quality purveyors and growers – just choose the dishes the week before, and pick the day of delivery – it’s that easy!
-
- Shqipe begins by making the mix for the biscuits. The recipe calls for one cup of flour, which is provided in easy-to-open pouches.
-
- Everything is fresh, and clearly labeled.
-
- The recipe also calls for butter, which is melted and stirred into cold milk.
-
- Shqipe mixes the milk and butter until the butter solidifies into clumps.
-
- Here, Shqipe adds the butter and milk mixture to the flour and combines.
-
- The dough is divided into two mounds and placed on a baking sheet – so easy to do. Now the biscuits are ready to go into the 400-degree Fahrenheit oven.
-
- Next, Shqipe removes the core of the cabbage. The cabbage is so fresh and colorful.
-
- Then she slices the cabbage into thin pieces.
-
- And mixes it with vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
-
- The remaining flour and milk are poured into separate bowls. All the ingredients are used, so nothing gets wasted in the cooking process.
-
- Both the flour and milk are also seasoned with a little salt and pepper.
-
- The meats are carefully chosen – this chicken is antibiotic free.
-
- Shqipe patted the chicken dry, and then coated it in the flour, then the milk, and then the flour again.
-
- The chicken is then cooked in a half-inch of oil in a medium pan or skillet and cooked over medium heat.
-
- Meanwhile, here are the biscuits ready to come out of the oven – they look perfect.
-
- Shqipe combines the honey and 1/4-teaspoon coarsely ground pepper in a small bowl.
-
- The chicken is cooked until it is golden brown.
-
- The chicken, biscuit and slaw are plated, and the pepper-honey sauce is drizzled over the chicken.
-
- Shqipe, and my housekeeper, Sanu, both enjoyed their lunch. And, it was all prepared in less than 30-minutes.
-
- This steak salad is a great light meal with a Vietnamese twist. And all the ingredients are fresh and proportioned for two full meals.
-
- Shqipe starts by slicing the Fresno chile crosswise into rings.
-
- After the chile rings are chopped, she places one teaspoon into a bowl and adds vinegar – already pre-measured and included in the kit.
-
- The recipe also calls for sugar and salt before it is all whisked together to make the dressing.
-
- Next, the onion is peeled and sliced into half-inch thick rounds.
-
- Then brushed with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.
-
- Here, Shqipe cuts the snow peas. The snow pea is a variety of pea eaten whole in its pod while still unripe.
-
- Everything is now cut and prepared for the salad. The only ingredients Martha & Marley Spoon ask you to provide is the salt, pepper and sugar.
-
- These steaks are seasoned and ready to cook.
-
- For this recipe, Shqipe used a cast-iron skillet.
-
- The onions are cooked on medium-high heat until they are lightly charred – about four minutes each side.
-
- The steaks are also cooked until lightly charred to medium – another three to four minutes per side. Once they are cooked, they are transferred to a cutting board to rest for two minutes.
-
- The steak is then thinly sliced.
-
- And the fresh spinach is plated.
-
- And here it is – a mouthwatering salad topped with steak, sliced Fresno, peanuts and mint and then drizzled with the flavor-filled dressing.
-
- My property director, Fred Jacobsen, was glad to get the call to taste – he ate every morsel, and brought the other serving home for dinner. An easy to make meal that’s healthy and so delicious.
