A Delicious Meal from Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon
Our Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kits are so delicious, nutritious, and time-saving.
Yesterday, while I was busy shooting segments around my Bedford, New York farm for my upcoming television show on Roku, my housekeeper, Elvira Rojas, cooked one of the Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meals I selected from this week's menu - Sweet Chili Beef Meatball Lettuce Wraps with Pepper & Snow Peas. It was excellent and just the perfect size lunch for two. Plus, just as promised on the recipe card, the entire dish was done in less than 40-minutes. Our delivery meal service features so many inspiring recipes and cooking ideas, and you can customize the menu and choose the recipes that best fit your busy lifestyle.

-
- Every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon kit comes with a large recipe card complete with a photo of the finished dish on one side…
-
- … And on the other side, all the how-to, step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to match. We work hard to make sure every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kit recipe is time-saving, easy to make, and most of all delicious.
-
- Everything is pre-portioned, well-packaged and labeled, so there’s absolutely no confusion in the kitchen. The kits are designed to feed two or four people. It’s a superior, money saving meal kit delivery system. And look at the produce – so fresh and ready-to-use.
-
- For this recipe, the first step is to prep all the ingredients. We call this part of the process “mise en place,” a French term for having all the ingredients cut, peeled, sliced, grated, etc. before cooking. Here, Elvira cuts the red pepper into thin strips and then cuts the strips in half crosswise.
-
- Next, Elvira coarsely chops the peeled ginger. Because these meal kits can be modified to fit one’s personal taste, you can use a little less ginger or a little more. This recipe also calls for chopped garlic.
-
- Elvira also trims the scallions, and then slices them. This meal only needs 2/3 of the scallions – the rest can be used for another dish.
-
- Scallions, also known as spring onions or green onions, generally have a milder taste than most onions. Close relatives include shallots, leeks, and chives.
-
- The snow peas are sliced lengthwise and placed on the side along with the other cut ingredients.
-
- Next, the ground beef is placed into a bowl and sprinkled with the ginger-garlic mixture.
-
- Elvira adds 1/4 cup panko. Panko is the dried breadcrumbs made without the crusts. The word panko is Japanese for “pan” meaning bread and “ko” meaning flour. Panko has a light, airy, and delicate texture that helps meat crisp as it cooks.
-
- Then she adds the scallions, one egg, and salt. Our kits come with almost everything one needs to make the meals – all you need to supply is salt, pepper, olive oil and eggs.
-
- Finally, Elvira kneads the mixture until everything is well-combined.
-
- Next, Elvira forms 12 meatballs – she was able to make 14 – and places them all equally spaced on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
-
- In a measuring cup, Elvira stirs together the tamari, Thai sweet chili sauce and two tablespoons water. It is so convenient to have just the right amount of ingredients included in the kit – no need to buy separate bottles for one recipe.
-
- After heating two teaspoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, Elvira starts to cook the peppers, stirring them until tender and lightly browned – just about five minutes.
-
- She then adds the snow peas, remaining cut ginger and garlic, and half the remaining scallions. These continue to cook for another minute.
-
- Meanwhile, Elvira cooks the meatballs in a 350-degree oven until the internal temperature is 155-degrees Fahrenheit – about 10-minutes.
-
- Then she places them in the broiler until they are browned. One can also just broil the meatballs on the top rack of the oven and cook until browned.
-
- The vegetables are now perfectly cooked.
-
- The lettuce leaves are washed, dried, and separated.
-
- Elvira adds the sauce to the skillet and brings it to a boil over high heat.
-
- And then adds the meatballs and simmers, turning them over until heated through and completely coated with sauce. I wish you could smell them on this blog.
-
- The lettuce leaves are positioned in one layer on a plate. Here, Elvira puts three meatballs on each lettuce leaf.
-
- And then garnishes each serving with more scallions.
-
- Two Sweet Chili Beef Meatball Lettuce Wraps with Pepper & Snow Peas for each – the perfect size for lunch after a busy morning of shooting. This meal is so easy to make and so delicious.
