Savoury Braised Chickpeas from HelloFresh Canada

A blessed Sunday to you. For dinner, hubby and I prepared the Savoury Braised Chickpeas with Feta and Garlic Toum from our HelloFresh box, which arrived yesterday.



Savoury Braised Chickpeas with Feta and Garlic Toum

HelloFresh Description:

"Protein-packed chickpeas get a flavour boost from warm curry paste in this hearty and fragrant stew. You'll want to scoop up every last bite of this veggie-filled wonder!"


Savoury Braised Chickpeas from HelloFresh Canada
Protein-packed chickpeas get a flavour boost from warm curry paste in this hearty, fragrant stew. You'll want to scoop up every last bite of this veggie-filled wonder!


To start, the bulgur wheat is cooked to fluffy perfection. It provides a nutritious and satisfying grain that is perfect for filling you up without weighing you down.

Afterwards, you cut and cook for 4 minutes in 1 tbsp oil, the pepper, zucchini, and onion. Then, you add the chickpeas, which are braised in a mixture of vegetable broth concentrate and tomato sauce, along with a blend of fragrant spices like curry paste. The result is a rich and hearty base perfect for soaking up the flavours of the other ingredients.



What is bulgur wheat?

"Bulgur wheat is a whole grain that's commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It's made by boiling and drying wheat berries, then removing the outer bran layer and cracking the remaining kernel into small pieces. The resulting grains have a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture that makes them a popular ingredient in salads, stews, and other dishes."


But what really sets this dish apart is the garlic toum. So what is it, exactly? Garlic toum is a traditional Lebanese sauce made from garlic, lemon juice, and oil, emulsified together to create a creamy and tangy dressing that's perfect for drizzling over savoury dishes like these braised chickpeas.

To make HelloFresh's garlic toum, mix garlic minced garlic, mayonnaise, and water until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the chickpeas and bulgur wheat, then top with crumbled feta cheese for a delicious and nutritious meal that's sure to please.

My favourite part of the dish is the strong taste and unique flavour of salty feta cheese.

Turkey Thursday: Harissa-Spiced Turkey from HelloFresh

Happy Thursday! The last meal from our HelloFresh box is the Cal Smart Harissa-Spiced Turkey with Almond Pilaf which we are having for Thursday dinner.


Cal Smart Harissa-Spiced Turkey with Almond Pilaf from HelloFresh Canada

Cal Smart Harissa-Spiced Turkey with Almond Pilaf

HelloFresh Description:

You won't believe a meal this good is also calorie-conscious! A seasoned rice pilaf is accented with toasted almonds for some nutty crunch, while North African-spiced turkey and veggies bring warm, earthy vibes to complete the dish! Cal Smart is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's kilocalorie amounts.


Thanks to the Harissa, a North African chilli paste, the dish has a bit of heat and a smoky flavour. I remember seeing a portion of Food Wars (the anime) where I first heard of Harissa. Meanwhile, the basmati rice is perfectly cooked but has a nutty and slightly sweet flavour because of the almonds, which perfectly balances the spicy turkey. Lastly, the parsley adds a bright and fresh note to the dish.


Cal Smart Harissa-Spiced Turkey with Almond Pilaf from HelloFresh Canada

Overall, it is a flavourful and aromatic dish that balances the heat from the Harissa with the nuttiness of the almonds. It is such a delicious and satisfying weeknight dinner.

The beef is tender, while the lentils provide a nutty, slightly earthy flavour to the dish. Meanwhile, the cilantro adds a bright and fresh note to the comforting stew. Lastly, the Moroccan spices include warm and earthy notes, yet there's sweetness, most likely from the cinnamon. The flavour profile is quite complex.

Tex-Mex Tuesday: Mexican-Inspired Shrimp Tacos from HelloFresh

Happy Tuesday! We're changing things up for today's dinner and doing Tex-Mex Tuesday. This new thing offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a delicious chicken quesadilla for breakfast and lunch and a shrimp taco for dinner. We're preparing the Mexican-Inspired Shrimp Tacos with Crunchy Coleslaw and Garlic-Lime Crema from our HelloFresh box.


Mexican-Inspired Shrimp Tacos with Crunchy Coleslaw and Garlic-Lime Crema from HelloFresh

For all three meals, I opted to use the tortilla we got from Costco earlier this month. The smaller tortilla from the HelloFresh kit will go back to the fridge for a quick snack or breakfast this week.


Mexican-Inspired Shrimp Tacos with Crunchy Coleslaw and Garlic-Lime Crema

HelloFresh Description:

You can always rely on tacos to make the family happy, and these are no exception! Tender shrimp are dredged in enchilada-style spices for a hit of smoky, aromatic flavour. A super fresh cabbage and carrot slaw adds the perfect crunch to this mouthwatering dish! Yum!


Because I used a 10-inch tortilla, we had to eat one giant taco instead of three more miniature tacos using a 6-inch tortilla. It was messy and fun to eat. The slaw had a slight bitterness, and I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. The shrimp was succulent, and I loved the tartness of the lime.

Meatless Monday: Mixed Mushroom Risotto from HelloFresh

It's my first time cooking risotto, and I am pleased that HelloFresh makes it accessible. I only know risotto from watching Master Chef, where they need to make it, or maybe I remember a different show.


Mixed Mushroom Risotto with Fried Sage Leaves from HelloFresh
This dish takes flavour inspiration from your favourite trattoria! Hearty broth plumps up each grain of rice to create an irresistibly creamy risotto. A sprinkle of fragrant, crispy sage leaves will make you feel like a top chef!

Risotto is an Italian dish made with short-grain rice cooked in broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. The dish originates from northern Italy, specifically the Lombardy region, and is considered a staple of Italian cuisine.

I love the fried salted sage, and it's such a filling dish.

Fiery Lentil Spaghetti Arrabiata from HelloFresh Canada

#MeatlessMonday is my conscious effort to eat no meat on Mondays. However, since we're Catholic and it's lent, we abstain from eating meat on Fridays too. So, for today's dinner, we enjoyed the vegetarian Fiery Lentil Spaghetti Arrabiata with Spinach and Roasted Red Peppers from our HelloFresh box. It's the last meal from the box that arrived last Saturday, and we're expecting our new box tomorrow.


Fiery Lentil Spaghetti Arrabiata with Spinach and Roasted Red Peppers from HelloFresh Canada
There's nothing boring about this dinner! Lentils and tomatoes are the base of a sauce that's jazzed up with garlic, chili flakes and chili sauce. Spaghetti acts as the perfect pasta to capture all the sauce!

Replacing the usual beef or pork in the Arrabiata sauce are lentils. They provided an unexpected creaminess to the dish. I also like the freshness of the parsley. Overall, a satisfying meatless meal.

Smart Hoisin-Glazed Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Thursday! This is the first HelloFresh meal I told myself, hey, I can buy this from the ingredients from the grocery and have a low-calorie delicious meal in under 30 minutes. I only need hoisin sauce for the Smart Hoisin-Glazed Shrimp with Stir-Fried Sesame Veggies.

Simple but fantastic. This delicious chili is filled with beans, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Each bite is ternder and comforting. We suggest using the tortilla chips to scoop up and enjoy every last drop.

The Veggie Chili was spicy because I added all the chipotle powder. The tortilla chips included are thicker and perfect for scoopinng up the wholesome vegetable-based chili.

Smart Mexican-Inspired Albondigas Soup from HelloFresh Canada

Soup Sunday! We're having the Smart Mexican-Inspired Albondigas Soup with Rice-Stuffed Chicken Meatballs and Cilantro from our HelloFresh box for dinner.

It was sweeter than expected, most likely because we used a whole onion instead of just half. However, I do like freshly made chicken meatballs. The warm soup is perfect for this rainy Sunday evening.

Homestyle Turkey and Dumpling Soup from HelloFresh

I failed to make this dish correctly. Maybe I used the wrong type of mil because the dumplings disintegrated and were basically non-existent in the soup. Don't get me wrong, it's still a hearty soup, but I need more instructions to do the dumplings better.

After visiting Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe, we checked out Value Village Boutique on Granville Street. Then, I got angry at my hubby, so we stayed home instead of visiting Fufú Café.

Salmon Saturday: Scandi-Style Salmon from HelloFresh

Happy Saturday! We had pancakes for breakfast today. Then, had salmon for both lunch and dinner.

  • Lunch: Cal Smart Caper-Dill Dressed Salmon with Couscous, Tomatoes, and Spinach
  • Dinner: Scandi-Style Salmon with Apple and Pickled Onion Salad

The Caper-Dill Dressed Salmon is my favourite dish from HelloFresh, and I ordered it again in the box that arrived today.


Scandi-Style Salmon with Apple and Pickled Onion Salad

I surprisingly enjoyed the Scandi-Style Salmon too. Although, my heat was too hot, and the skin browned too quickly. I enjoyed the balance of the salad with crunchy apples, bitter arugula and spinach, and sour pickled onions. The buttery potatoes with fresh chopped dill are perfect. I'm willing to have it again.

Both our salmon meals today include dill, which I surprisingly love fresh but abhor in potato chips.

Scandi-Style Salmon with Apple and Pickled Onion Salad

HelloFresh Description:

Summer flavours, made cozy! Dilly buttered potatoes are paired with honey- and mustard-glazed salmon, and pickled red onions are the perfect salad topper for a tangy, puckery pop!
