This month we are reviewing the meal order service Blue Apron! Each week we’re going to review a new recipe, and in the last installment we’ll look at the service as a whole. Each week we’ll score on three key points: Quality of Ingredients, Ease of Instructions, and Taste. Each will have a five-point scale: 1-Poor, 2-Could be Better, 3-Okay, 4-Good, and 5-Excellent.
This week is the Greek-Style Feta Burgers with Tzatziki & Lemon-Oregano Potatoes.
Quality of Ingredients: The ingredients for this kit had a couple problems. To start the potatoes went bad pretty quickly. I wasn’t able to make this meal until about week after it was delivered. I’ve had potatoes in my refrigerator for a month and still be fresh, so it suprised me that these turned. The second problem is that the liquid in the feta cheese somehow leaked out. I replaced the potatoes, but the cheese and everything else was fine. Overall the meat was good quality and the buns were nice and soft, so I rated this as good.
Ease of Instructions: There were a number of steps to this recipe, despite being relatively simple. All of the instructions were clear and concise.
Taste: I really liked the flavor of these burgers. The cheese had a nice saltiness, and the tang of the tzatziki complimented it well. My only complaint is that the amount of lemon juice called for in the recipe left the potatoes with too much acidity. Luckily there was plenty of tzatziki left over which balanced it out well.
