- Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon delivers everything fresh, pre-portioned, and well-labeled. The first thing we do is take out all the ingredients, place them on the counter where everything is easy to see, and check what we have and what we may need. This recipe also calls for salt, pepper, sugar, all-purpose flour, olive oil, two eggs, and butter.
-
- Each box contains a large recipe card that shows a photo of the finished dish on one side…
-
- … And each of the six main steps on the other, with more photos to help show each stage of the process. What’s also great – these recipe cards can be collected and saved for future use.
-
- To start, Elvira halves and finely chops a half-cup onion, which is provided in the meal-kit.
-
- In a medium bowl, she then combines the pre-portioned and packaged cranberries with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, 2/3 cup water, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
-
- In another bowl, Elvira whisks together the broth concentrate, mascarpone, water, and flour.
-
- Next, over medium-high heat Elvira cooks half the chopped onions with oil in a skillet. It takes just a couple of minutes to cook them until softened.
-
- She adds the cranberry mixture and cooks until the mixture is thick and jammy. She also mashes the cranberries with a fork.
-
- While the cranberries simmer for about five to seven minutes, Elvira combines the panko, remaining onions, and two large eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.
-
- She adds the beef to the bowl and gently kneads the ingredients to combine and then forms about 16 meatballs.
-
- She places the meatballs into the skillet and cooks over medium-high heat.
-
- Elvira turns each one once or twice until browned, but not cooked through. This takes about six to eight minutes.
-
- She removes the skillet from the heat, spoons out any fat, and then returns the skillet to the stove and pours the mascarpone mixture over the meatballs and brings it all to a simmer.
-
- Meanwhile, Elvira roughly chops up the dill – also included in the kit.
-
- Here are the meatballs simmering nicely in the skillet. Elvira bastes them with a spoon until the saice is reduced and the meatballs are cooked through.
-
- The noodles are cooked in boiling water until tender.
-
- Next, Elvira adds the peas and cooks them with the noodles.
-
- Then both the noodles and the peas are well drained.
-
- She returns the noodles and peas to the pot and cooks them with 1/4-cup butter and 1/2 of the chopped dill for about five minutes.
-
- Finally, the noodles are spooned into a plate and then topped with four meatballs.
-
- The meatballs are garnished with a sprinkling of the remaining dill and served with some pf the cranberry relish. So easy to make and looks exactly like the photo. It was delicious and just the right amount – each serving is enough to fill the hungriest of eaters. Please go to the web site to learn how you can order your Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal-kits.
