Quick and Delicious Family Meals with Riverford Organic Recipe Boxes

There is nothing like sitting down for dinner and enjoying a freshly made family meal at the end of a busy day, while chatting with your loved ones.

We enjoy trying new recipes and experimenting with different ingredients, so we were delighted to try Riverford recipe boxes. Riverford is well-known for their organic boxes of vegetables, fruit, herbs and meats. They have been growing organic vegetables in their farm since 1987.

Recently, Riverford has launched recipe boxes, with weekly deliveries of everything you need for three tasty organic meals for two people, including measured ingredients and step-by-step recipe cards. There are three types of boxes to choose from: vegetarian recipe box, original recipe box and quick recipe box.

We picked the quick recipe box with recipes to be completed within 30 minutes and we were impressed how the ingredients were arranged in the box. They were nicely packaged and arrived fresh to our door.

Our first meal was steak and roasted ratatouille with aioli, a delicious meal made with organic beef sirloin steak. The ratatouille complemented the steak beautifully,  and the whole family enjoyed it.

Our next meal was gnocchi and psb, served with pine nuts, sage and brown butter. I must confess I had no idea what psb was, it stands for purple sprouting broccoli.

Hubby loved the gnocchi and the brown butter sauce added a gorgeous flavour to it. Such a delicious dish!

Our last recipe was ham hock and lentils, served with watercress and root remoulade. The pulled ham hock comes ready, so it has already been soaked and slow cooked before pulled away. It was my favourite recipe, I’ve never made root remoulade before, but I will definitely be making it again.

Overall, we really enjoyed trying Riverford recipe boxes and tasting new dishes. The recipes are very easy to follow and having pre-measured ingredients makes cooking much quicker and more enjoyable. The ingredients were fresh and full of flavour, it makes such a difference when you are cooking with high quality ingredients.

The recipes change weekly, so you can check out the website to see which delicious meals you could be making with the recipe boxes next week. For more details, please check: http://www.riverford.co.uk/shop/recipeboxes
