Based on the premium ingredients in your April 11th boxes, Chef Fresh has a new seasonal favorite for you. This dish is designed to be versatile—perfect for a light lunch or a hearty family dinner.

Chef Fresh’s "April Sunshine" Mango & Orchard Sauté 🥭🍎

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 12 mins

This recipe perfectly balances the sweetness of the Ataulfo Mangoes and Gold Delicious Apples with the savory crunch of Rustico Peppers and Zucchini.

🛒 Ingredients from your April 11th Box:

• The Crunch: Carrots, Zucchini, and Rustico Peppers (sliced into batons).

• The Sweet: 1 Gold Delicious Apple (sliced) and 1 Ataulfo Mango (cubed).

• The Aromatics: Red Onion and Celery (finely diced).

• The Freshness: A handful of fresh Strawberries (halved) for a tart finish.

• The Base: Serve over a bed of Fresh Lettuce or roasted Mini Potatoes.

👨‍🍳 Chef Fresh’s Instructions:

1. Sizzle: Heat a splash of oil in a pan. Sauté the onions, celery, and peppers until they are just starting to soften.

2. The Hard Veg: Add the carrots and zucchini. Stir-fry on high heat for 4 minutes to keep that signature "Fresh 4U" crunch.

3. The Orchard Hit: Toss in the apple slices and mango cubes. Let them warm through for 2 minutes until they start to caramelize slightly.

4. Glaze: Drizzle with a little honey and a squeeze of orange juice from your box. For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of Fresh 4U Homemade Hot Sauce.

5. Serve: Pile the sauté over a bed of fresh lettuce (for a warm salad) or alongside roasted potatoes/rice. Top with fresh strawberries just before serving.

💡 Pro-Tips for your Box Size:

• Mini Box ($25): This is the perfect portion for a cozy dinner for two. Use your Mini Cucumbers on the side for extra crunch!

• Small Box ($45): Add some extra onions and tomatoes to create a thicker sauce.

• Large Box ($75): Roast your Butternut Squash and Beets first, then toss them into the mix for the ultimate high-energy harvest bowl!

Based on the fresh arrivals for the April 18th boxes, Chef Fresh has put together a vibrant, family-style recipe that makes the most of your haul. Whether you’re using the Mini, Small, or Large box, this dish is a spring showstopper!
