Thank you for joining me for this ASMR cooking session. As you know love to cook, but it can be difficult to prepare restaurant quality dishes at home. Many of us are simply short on time or don't have all the ingredients on hand. And for the convenience, having fresh ingredients delivered right to your door weekly can be great help.
That's why, I am very excited today to be sponsored by 'Blue Apron'. And if you'd love to give it a try, please check the link in the description and [the] first hundred viewers will receive three meals for free with your first order with 'Blue Apron'. Not all of us are gourmet chefs unfortunately, and this service provides you with step-by-step instructions, and exactly the right proportions for you to create delicious meal right at home, and impress your loved ones while saving time and money. They offer [a] two person plan and [a] family plan for you to choose from.
All menus are 500 to 800 calories per person and can be cooked in under 40 minutes. As you can see I have my box and we're going to take a look at it and start cooking. So let's take a look inside. "Happy cooking", how wonderful.
Usually, you would be receiving three menus per week, so you will be getting three sets of different ingredients. This time I'll be showing you just one for demonstration. You will see right away some cards inside. Let's take a look.
We get a discount gift card for their wines, so you can pair your dinners with wines. And we get instructions card with information about this recipe, all of its ingredients, and a recipe instructions on the back. Today we got a lemon, garlic crinkly garlic Then we got, crispy Brussel sprouts. All of their ingredients are farm fresh, and just the right amount for you, so you don't waste any food at all, plus the package is so crinkly.
We get little beads of couscous. Couscous, couscous, couscous And I get a bag of knick knacks. Usually it's spices and some other smaller ingredients. Nicely packaged all together, so it's easier for you to follow.
And... Also, what I really appreciate about 'Blue Apron' is their policy on recycling. You can either recycle everything, all the packaging, yourself or you can send it back to them. Which is great.
Then you get the meat. Chicken here and freezer bags on the bottom, so that everything you get stays fresh during delivery for you. So here's our recipe card with all the details about the recipe. First we wash and chop all our fresh produce.
So we have quartered our lemon; prepared it to be squeezed later into a recipe. [Mmm] So nice and juicy. Now we peel our shallot onion and then cut it, chop it into small pieces. [Mmmm] Wonderful.
Then we need to crush our garlics, but keep them whole. And we need to have our Brussels sprouts. And here's, the whole portioned out menu of ours. All ready to be prepared.
I'll be starting with cooking couscous for 16 minutes and then draining it. It will also hypnotize us. Then, we will spread out our Brussel sprouts, sprinkle salt and sprinkle some pepper on them. And add some oil, I prefer spray oil, for me personally.
And we'll put them in the oven, preheated at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Now, onto the chicken. You are provided with a spice and flour blend. So, we cover it in And then cook our chicken on both sides, until done.
[Hmmm] The aroma is so nice. I'll let the juices drip off and stain the pan, as it's going to be the base for our sauce. Adding garlic, our onion cooking it all that. And we'll add some thyme to this recipe, for a beautiful addition of fragrance and flavor.
Then we'll be squeezing the juice of all four pieces of our lemon. Such a beautiful sizzling sound. So satisfying. Smells just extraordinary.
We'll add a little bit of water and let it cook for a couple minutes. Until thickened . Now we'll add some butter. Always checking with our recipe card, trying to follow the directions.
So here we turn off the heat, let it melt and combine. I'll need a little fork, to take the thyme out. No pun intended And... Also pick out little garlics as well They've cooked enough.
And again following the directions just let it melt. And we'll combine our crispy cooked brussel sprouts. We'll add them to couscous. Add the almonds.
Mix it all up. [Mmmm] Looks and smells delicious. Then we add a little bit of salt and pepper, as always seasoning Just to your taste. Then we'll mix it all up.
It's going to be quite a crunchy and soft recipe. I can't wait to taste it, and we're going to serve. Do you now enjoy it? Ok time to sample everything, see how it all turns out. Have to say it looks absolutely delicious.
So how about we try... A brussel sprout with couscous right away. [Mmmmmm] I absolutely love brussel sprouts. I like that I paired my dish, and yours, with some dry red wine, tastes really good this way.
Let's try this piece of chicken. I think I got a tendon. Mhm, you like the fireplace in the back? I know that it really adds to a nice atmosphere. Let's try the chicken.
Perfect. I really like this umm... Sauce. That you create, with lemon juice, and onions, and garlic, and thyme.
Absolutely gorgeous. See it's quite a convenient way to cook. I really like it. I...
Can't wait to see what other recipes I'm going to get to make. Now let's just enjoy the evening. Thank you for watching..
