Generally I get my deliveries on Tuesday but as I knew I would be going away I opted for a later Friday delivery so that I could bring my Plated meals with me to my cabin in Vermont. Honestly if you are renting a house somewhere in driving distance and not planning on eating out a lot, Plated is an excellent choice to bring with you.
So the first thing I made in my my very small not incredibly well equipped kitchen was the Sunchoke and Kale Hash.
I have only had sunchokes one other time and that was in another plated meal, and I wasn't that fond of them, so I was a little nervous that I wouldn't like this one, but I was wrong. Probably give this a 3 out of 5 stars.
What I liked - I liked the addition of the currents, I love a little bit of sweetness in savory dishes. The sunchokes were not overwhelming in this dish but were definitely a major component, maybe having the dressing and all the other flavors in together helped, or maybe I am warming up to sunchokes. Love getting my vegatables.
Could have been better - They say to drain the quinoa, I only had a standard colander that I thought the quinoa would just flow right through, so I just gently drained out the water trying to keep as much quinoa in the pot as possible, there was still a little water in there but figured it would be absorbed by the time I was done with the other ingedients. I felt there could have been more dressing, of course they are trying to keep calories low but at 590 I thought it could have the extra dressing and still be pretty low.
My modifications - They say to add as much onion as desired so I used half the onion, I felt it was plenty, my husband who is not an onion fan picked some out.
I promise to have more photos next time.
