The Six Best HelloFresh Recipes

BY: Sarah Gorr |Jan 19, 2018

If you've been stuck in a dinnertime rut, it can be hard to break yourself out of it. After all, whipping up another pot of spaghetti with sauce from a jar is a lot easier than getting creative. Enter, meal-delivery kits like HelloFresh. HelloFresh recipes are not only inventive and delicious, but they'll get delivered right to your doorstep, including all the necessary ingredients. To get your mouth truly watering, we took a look at some of the very best HelloFresh recipes to inspire you (heck, there's even a HelloFresh Groupon to make it easy)!

1. Figgy Balsamic Pork with Roasted Green Beans and Rosemary Potatoes

This dish is so good, it made it into HelloFresh's Hall of Fame (a collection of their most-loved recipes of all time). With a combo of sicky sweet fig jam and tangy rich balsamic vinegar, it's no wonder. It's also just one of a trio of pork recipes that made it onto the list!

2. One-Pan Pork Carnitas Tacos with Lettuce, Onion, and Lime Crema

The top taco recipe on the site, this recipe gives you the smoky, savory flavor of carnitas minus the three- to four-hour braising time. That means it's weeknight friendly as well as delicious. The lime crema even gives it a little extra brightness and zip.

3. Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken over Truffle Mushroom Risotto

Talk about a confidence builder! Something as elegant looking as saltimbocca is hardly considered standard dinner fare, but this recipe makes it easy. The addition of truffle oil adds some upscale flair without forcing you to buy a bottle of the stuff, which can be $15 or more for just a few ounces!

4. Crushed Peppercorn Steak with Creamed Kale and Potato Wedges

This recipe brings your local steakhouse to you. The richness of the creamed kale will make munching on your veggies a decadent experience, while the hand-crushed peppercorns pack in a ton of flavor. At its heart, it's a one of the simple HelloFresh recipes, but it's still anything but boring.

5. Chickpea-Powered Mediterranean Couscous with Zucchini and Heirloom Grape Tomatoes

Veggie lovers, rejoice! Get a taste of the Greek islands with this dish that lets the flavor of roasted tomatoes and zucchini shine. Chickpeas are tossed in a bold spice mix and roasted, which will give your bowl some crunch.

6. Pork and Thai Basil Stir-Fry with Bok Choy, Basmati Rice, and Sriracha Lime Sauce

The final pork dish on our list might just be the most daring. The recipe is inspired by the Thai dish pad bai horapa and combines the heat of sriracha with the brightness of lime and basil. Though cooking Southeast Asian cuisine at home might seem intimidating if you're not familiar with it, this recipe can be whipped up in just 20 minutes.

I love the food, the recipes and the convenience. Not only do I not have to worry if I have everything I need to make dinner, I also dont have to make that quick trip into the grocery store.
