01:46 Oh, wonderful.
01:47 So, do you have a family?
01:49 Do you feed this wonderful healthy nutritious recipes

01:53 Yes, actually for me the little one is, you know,
01:55 he's 16 years old right now but in the beginning,
01:58 you know, in the beginning he was diagnosed with asthma
02:01 actually and now that's why we change, you know,
02:04 this food, you know, to the other one,
02:06 to regular food, you know, and--
02:08 plus after two months, you know,
02:11 that we changed this diet, you know,
02:13 and he completely gone, you know, all the asthma.
02:16 It's gone.
02:17 No more inhalers, no more anything like that.
02:18 So that would be great. Amen. Amen.
02:20 What a testimony.
02:21 Your son had asthma and you just simply changed a diet?

02:26 And that brought healing to your son.
02:28 Yeah. Wonderful.
02:29 Well, folks, you just heard a testimony,

07:28 As you can see on your screen, this is very appetizing.
07:33 And as Chef Javier suggested,
07:35 something to accompany this salad
07:37 would be a crostini, which is a bread,
07:40 Italian type of bread, right.
07:42 I'm learning with you guys at home,
07:44 so I am so thankful.
07:47 My mouth is literally so watery
07:49 because the smell and the aroma of the basil
07:52 is really making me want to eat this salad
07:56 right now and I think--
07:58 You know, one of the recipes that are literally have,
08:01 you know, this to make it easier free now for everybody.
08:03 Exactly.
08:04 You know, for everybody didn't have to spend no more--
08:06 you know, a lot of time in the kitchen.
08:07 Right.
08:09 So I just make it, you know, just to the point.
08:10 Quick and easy.
08:11 It is taken, you know, five minute to ten minute
08:13 not the most for ten minutes.
08:14 Wonderful.
08:15 Well, you know, another day
08:17 we have such a hectic life style,
08:18 you know, we have to go to work,
08:20 we have to go to piano recitals
08:21 and we have so many things happening.
08:23 And we long to share
08:24 healthy and nutritious food with our family
08:27 but sometimes our minds are overwhelmed.
08:30 So these simple recipes,
08:33 you can go to local grocery store
08:35 and get the ingredients and there you have it,
08:37 you don't have to go out of your way
08:39 or special trip have away, you know,
08:41 have a cross town to get the ingredients.
08:44 Well, you do have another recipe,
08:46 we'd like to share with you at this time.
08:48 And this recipe is the Italian,
08:53 I have to practice this name, Bucattini.
08:55 Bucattini.
08:57 Bucattini with Kalamata Olive Pesto.
08:59 What do we need for this recipe?
09:01 For the recipe we need...
09:20 That is right.
09:22 Okay, friends, I am going to learn
09:25 how to make the Bucattini with Kalamata Olive Pesto
09:29 by Chef Javier.
09:30 Okay, we have some pot here boiling.
09:33 What's going on in the pot?
09:34 So we have water, you know, to heat out the water
09:37 to hit it out of the pasta.
09:38 Okay, we previously washed or cooked the pasta.
09:42 But how do you store it and teach us
09:45 how to handle the pasta at home?
09:47 Yeah, the pasta, you know, it's better when you cook it
09:50 al dente, it's like a seven to eight minutes al dente,
09:53 so don't worry about it,
09:54 the pasta is not cooked all the way through.
09:56 But when you put olive oil, the olive oil cook,
09:59 you know, all the way through the pasta.
10:01 So you don't have to worry to cook the pasta
10:02 like a 15 minutes.
10:04 They are not gonna taste better.
10:05 Okay.
10:06 Now Chef Javier, I've heard that once we cook the pasta
10:09 and if we're gonna put it away that we should rinse it
10:12 after it's cooked with cold water
10:15 and then place it in a bowl.
10:16 And then when you're gonna warm it up again
10:18 just boil the water
10:20 and throw the pasta in till we heat it up.
10:22 Yes, yes.
10:23 So that just very simple
10:25 when you put the pasta under refrigerator,
10:27 so you don't have to worry about,
10:29 you know, heat it again.
10:30 You just heat it up, you know, the water
10:32 and just throw the pasta in there,
10:33 you just make the sauce and you through in there.
10:35 So you don't have to make the,
10:37 you know, the whole thing.
10:38 Very good, so we can do some prep work
10:40 prior to our dinner time, right.
10:42 Okay, well, take us to Italy?
10:44 Let's go.
10:45 All right, you know, this pesto is not traditional.
10:47 Okay.
10:49 The traditional pesto is that everybody knows that one.
10:53 Yes. That's right. So the basil one.
10:54 Well, this one I'm gonna--
10:56 I know little bit, you know, different.
10:58 So I'm gonna use the kalamata olive,
10:59 you can use the black, you know, the black olives.
11:02 So this one's a little bit salty.
11:04 Okay. That's the reason why--
11:05 But you can use the black olives
11:07 if you desire.
11:08 Okay. Okay.
11:10 Either use the black olives or the kalamata.
11:11 Oh, green olives you can use it too.
11:13 And we got to make sure that there are no seeds in it,
11:15 so it's pitted olives.
11:16 Yes, it's pitted olives that are no seeds in there.
11:18 So make sure, make sure that are no seeds in there, okay.
11:21 So we're gonna use the-- just to make the pesto.
11:23 Right.
11:24 So I used that olive oil.
11:26 Yes.
11:27 Actually the olive oil don't put it in right now.
11:30 'Cause you need to put at the last, okay.
11:31 Okay.
11:32 So we need to use to put the garlic.
11:34 Yes, the five cloves of garlic.
11:36 And it's ready, it's very easy. That's it.
11:39 It's very easy to make this recipe, very easy.
11:43 So--
11:50 We use this one a little bit slowly.
11:52 Oil.
11:55 The olive oil drizzling in.
12:03 Very good.
12:07 Ready to go.
12:08 Ready to go, that's it. It's ready. It's ready.
12:10 You didn't need the salt
12:11 because the olives are already salty.
12:13 The olives are already salty, yes.
12:15 Okay, very good.
12:16 So we need to use this one
12:18 when you move this one from here.
12:21 Use the spatula...
12:24 and mix it little bit over here, pretty well.
12:26 Wow, that does smell good.
12:27 Smell really good. Awesome.
12:29 This smell delicious.
12:30 But now we have the pesto ready.
12:31 Yes.
12:33 So we need to have this sauteed,
12:34 a little bit of garlic.
12:36 Okay. With the little bit olive oil.
12:37 Very good.
12:40 Put the garlic, some more garlic.
12:42 I love garlic. Yes, me too.
12:43 I love garlic.
12:45 That is the natural antibiotic.
12:47 So you don't have to cook, you know,
12:49 the garlic all the way to make it brown.
12:50 Okay.
12:51 So just throw the pasta in here.
12:54 Okay, throw the pasta into pot-- very good.
12:59 Now you have pot which just have the water.
13:00 Ready to go.
13:02 Oh.
13:04 Ready to go.
13:06 Oh, yeah.
13:08 Now you're a chef, you can flip that pasta in there
13:11 and keep it in the pan, I don't--
13:12 And you just put this, the olive garlic.
13:16 Okay.
13:17 All the pesto in here.
13:20 And you don't have to use a thing,
13:22 I just do it like that.
13:23 Yeah.
13:25 He can do it like that but in my house
13:26 I think all those noodles
13:28 it will be all over the counter.
13:31 You know, they say that you need to choose your friends
13:35 wisely they say that--
13:37 Just put the cherry tomatoes in there.
13:38 Oh, cherry tomatoes sauteed in there.
13:40 Just to make the color in there.
13:41 Contrast. And this is ready.
13:43 That's ready already. That's ready.
13:45 Oh, my. Okay. Wonderful.
13:47 So you see, I mean, you don't have to spend
13:49 so much time in the kitchen--
13:50 In the kitchen. That's right.
13:52 Just to make this thing here.
13:53 Yummy. Wow, wow, wow.
13:54 Okay, very good. So just to make it.
13:58 Just to make it easy, just a little bit, you know,
14:00 you can put the little parmesan cheese,
14:01 vegan parmesans I think especially.
14:03 Of course. And ready to go.
14:05 That's it.
14:06 Wonderful, guys, look at this amazing dish
14:09 we have the final product over here.
14:11 He chose to slice the basil, fresh basil for presentation
14:17 and for flavor of course.
14:19 You know, they say choose to your friends wisely.
14:22 You know, it's good to have a mechanic friend,
14:25 a doctor friend,
14:26 I say, it's great to have a chef friend.
14:30 Very good because we learn from you.
14:32 Now what why how that you come up with this idea,
14:35 the Kalamata Olive Pesto.
14:38 What inspired you?
14:39 You know, that was part of me because, you know,
14:41 something every time, you know, we make the, you know,
14:44 the basil pesto, the basil pesto.
14:45 So I said, no, you need to make something else,
14:47 so we come up with kalamata olives.
14:50 You know, to make the basil better than that.
14:51 Wonderful.
14:52 So we break the tradition, you know,
14:54 it's just thinking outside the box.
14:55 And that is what so fun about being in the kitchen,
14:58 it's a-- it's like a lab-- laboratory, right.
15:01 So anyhow, guys, are you ready for the next recipe?
15:04 I sure I am. Are you, Chef Javier?
15:06 I am ready. You're ready, okay.
15:08 This next recipe is a Linguine with Roasted Garlic.
15:13 What do we need for this?
15:14 We need...
15:34 That's right, guys.
15:35 So we are going to roast some garlic and the aroma
15:39 is going to meet your family at the door.
15:42 All right. Yes, yes, yes.
15:44 Yeah, this pasta actually, you know, everybody knows,
15:47 you know, to make a spaghetti with tomato sauce
15:49 with tomato sauce.
15:51 So this make a little different,
15:52 we just use olive oil and garlic.
15:53 Olive oil and garlic.
15:55 And that is true and sometimes we need--
15:56 like to read the label on the spaghetti sauces,
16:00 because it's got sugar, it's got vinegar.
16:02 And, of course, we want to avoid the sugar and vinegar.
16:05 And sometimes they have eggs too.
16:06 Oh, really.
16:08 Do got to check it out for that one too.
16:09 Yes. Oh, okay, guys.
16:11 And for this time, I'm gonna make this linguine pasta
16:14 not very popular but better tasted.
16:17 Okay.
16:18 It's one of my favorite pastas. Yes.
16:20 But this time I'm gonna make it with vegan shrimp.
16:22 Vegan shrimp.
16:24 I'm gonna introduce the vegan shrimp.
16:25 I'm glad you said vegan shrimp
16:26 because this is a vegan cooking program.
16:29 Yes.
16:30 So we are talking about shrimp
16:31 but, you know, it's incredible
16:34 because there are some people that just say
16:36 I cannot give up my shrimp.
16:38 I will not give it up, I'm addicted to shrimp, right.
16:42 But, you know, now there is provision I don't--
16:45 in somewhere in the health food stores,
16:48 if they have a frozen foods, well, that is an item
16:50 that you can purchase there but it is totally vegan.
16:53 And we need to find a creative way to reaching,
16:57 you know, the people that are they have not had
17:00 victory over that, that passion to the shrimp
17:04 or whatever animal product that they are consuming.
17:08 But we'd have this option available
17:10 and it's wonderful to see that we can have this
17:15 during the program today to have a linguini
17:17 with roasted garlic and vegan shrimp.
17:21 That's right, vegan shrimp.
17:22 Okay, take it away.
17:23 Let's do this. Yes.
17:25 So let's-- let's start and make this recipe.
17:26 Okay. So we're gonna need a--
17:28 I'm gonna throw the pasta in there
17:29 it can heat it up for a little bit.
17:30 Okay. So--
17:32 Let me turn this back on, I turned it off.
17:35 Okay. All right, thank you very much.
17:36 So we're gonna need olive oil.
17:38 Just put it into right here.
17:40 All right, the pan is nice and hot already.
17:42 Yes, so we need to use the garlic
17:44 get a little bit brown in this one,
17:45 in this recipe especially.
17:47 Okay.
17:48 After the garlic get brown, so you can add the shrimp.
17:52 So this just start making it.
17:53 Oh, nice and brown already. Yes.
17:56 Just be careful when you make this recipe
17:59 because the oil is gonna be hot,
18:00 so when you through the shrimp
18:02 that can make a flame.
18:03 Okay.
18:05 So just be careful don't try at home.
18:06 So it'll splatter all over. Yes.
18:07 It'll be burning you if you're not careful.
18:09 So you can throw a little bit of salt.
18:11 Okay.
18:13 And you throw this one right here.
18:15 Okay.
18:18 That is the--
18:19 You can throw the Pasta in there.
18:24 You know, like I said in the beginning of the show,
18:26 these recipes I'm making for you.
18:28 Yes.
18:29 You know, for everybody that's interested to
18:31 not to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
18:33 Right.
18:34 So this is-- this is perfect this recipe is ready now.
18:36 That is wonderful.
18:37 You know, I would love to be your neighbor
18:39 because that means that
18:41 you have some delicious nutritious vegan food
18:44 going on in your kitchen.
18:46 And if I were your neighbor I can just say,
18:48 "Hey, neighbor, how are you?"
18:49 I'll bring you some flowers or something, right.
18:52 I will share my food with the neighbors.
18:55 I always do.
18:56 Well, you know, what they say, food shared tastes better.
18:59 That's right.
19:01 So I'm as we shared with you earlier,
19:03 there was family need
19:05 to make a dietary change in the family
19:08 because of your son at age two fighting with asthma.
19:12 And it's incredible how so many of us
19:14 have a family member that is battling with asthma.
19:17 So was it hard for your family to adapt to a vegan diet
19:22 because the cheese looks so delicious and it's stretchy
19:25 and, you know, we're so used to that.
19:28 You know, it's gonna be, it's gonna be little hard
19:30 when we start doing it.
19:31 Right.
19:33 But because I'll be working in the restaurant business
19:35 of this-- they're making more for me more easier
19:37 to make this, you know, easy meals.
19:39 Right.
19:40 And one of those things that my son was two years
19:43 like I said in the beginning diagnosed with asthma.
19:46 So all these years, you know, we always do, you know,
19:49 treated with-- you know, those inhalers.
19:51 Right.
19:53 Or inhalers, inhaler for these everyday, everyday.
19:55 Wow.
19:56 So I said, he don't even grow for nothing from then--
19:57 for the last four years.
19:59 Oh, so it affected his height.
20:01 Yes. It affected his height.
20:03 So after we said, we decided me and my wife
20:05 decided to change all his diet.
20:08 Right. So in this diet, vegan style.
20:10 So after two months I can say in the beginning.
20:14 No more asthma, no more inhalers.
20:16 Praise God.
20:17 So that's, you know, if we decided to eat
20:19 dairy products.
20:21 So this is consequences. Exactly.
20:23 It's a consequences and it can be, you know,
20:25 a lot of diseases, you know, out there but when you change,
20:28 you know, this diet it's gonna be better.
20:29 That's definitely true.
20:31 Okay, so we have the linguini.
20:34 We have the linguini.
20:35 With roasted garlic already for the plate.
20:38 Oh, wow, this is wonderful.
20:42 Look at this?
20:43 Yes, this is one of the most, you know,
20:44 my favorite recipes like I said.
20:46 I like this recipe especially with the--
20:47 have with the roasted garlic in there.
20:49 Yeah, yum, yum, yum.
20:50 That's my favorite. Yum.
20:52 This is wonderful and children love pastas.
20:55 Well, they like to dig into the little pasta
20:59 and if their linguini or spaghetti
21:01 they like the strings and have fun in them.
21:04 But I believe that in the vegan cuisine,
21:07 I think what is important is the flavor, you know,
21:10 because we don't want to serve bland foods.
21:13 We-- as you can see, he used fresh garlic.
21:17 And sometimes that makes a difference in the recipe
21:20 whether you use the garlic powder for them,
21:22 the garlic and powder for them or the fresh.
21:25 They're not gonna taste the same.
21:26 They're not gonna taste the same.
21:27 When you use the fresh product,
21:29 they're gonna taste really fresh.
21:30 They're gonna taste even better.
21:32 Okay, wonderful.
21:33 Well, I think that as you can see
21:35 we do have the finished product over here.
21:38 So, so, inviting to just grab a chair sit down
21:43 and share this meal with our family,
21:46 with our friends.
21:48 But we do have another recipe
21:50 that we would love to present to you
21:52 and this one is usually called
21:54 or served as chicken cacciatore.
21:57 But this time we're gonna go the vegan version
22:00 and this is the Tofu Cacciatore.
22:02 So what do we need for this?
22:04 Well, you know, for the recipe we need...
22:20 So we have some secret ingredients here,
22:23 grape juice in this chicken or tofu cacciatore.
22:28 So cacciatore, that's how you say it, right?
22:31 Yes, cacciatore. Cacciatore.
22:33 Okay, chef, I am learning thank you.
22:37 And show us what are the first steps to take.
22:40 Okay, first of all, this recipe we make out of the red wine.
22:45 Oh.
22:47 So the red wine associated with red grape.
22:49 Red grape juice. Red grape juice, yes.
22:51 Okay, now I understand.
22:53 So that's to make it, to make it this clear
22:55 because everybody gonna think, oh, red wine for this one.
22:57 So we really need block of tofu.
23:00 Okay.
23:01 So you can cut it, you know, whatever you like
23:04 whatever you decide it.
23:05 So but this time I'm gonna use this one
23:08 to cut it five pieces.
23:13 Okay, this is the water packed tofu.
23:15 Yeah, the water packed tofu, yeah.
23:17 This is actually, this is the super firm tofu.
23:19 Super firm
23:21 Yes, you can use firm or you can use extra firm, you
23:23 know, whatever you like.
23:25 But this is a super tofu cacciatore.
23:28 So we're doing super firm tofu.
23:31 Yes, so. Okay.
23:32 We need a, you know, very hot,
23:33 you know, pan over here.
23:35 Very good. You need to use--
23:37 This is olive oil?
23:39 The olive oil.
23:40 Very good. Yes, okay. Yes, olive oil.
23:42 So put it a little bit of olive oil.
23:45 Warm it up.
23:46 And you need to use a little bit of salt,
23:49 the tofu
23:50 and you can use place the tofu right here.
23:53 Okay, so we're gonna make it golden or brown it up.
23:56 Yeah, a little bit of golden,
23:58 little bit not too gold but, you know,
24:00 just a little bit, just to make a color.
24:02 Okay.
24:03 So by the time when the cooking-- you know,
24:04 the tofu is cooking we can cut it--
24:06 The onions. The onions.
24:07 Yes. Just cut in half.
24:09 Yes.
24:10 Make sure you cut it like this.
24:14 Julienne.
24:17 Okay. Well done, chef.
24:18 Oh.
24:21 Just be careful.
24:23 Yes.
24:24 Don't try this at home 'cause I know this kind of hard.
24:27 Yeah.
24:28 So this is the bell peppers, sometimes you know
24:30 we cut the peppers like this.
24:31 So this is very dangerous
24:33 to cut the bell peppers like this.
24:34 Why it's dangerous to do that?
24:35 Because this-- it can slip the knife,
24:37 you know, either way.
24:38 Okay. They'll slide either side.
24:40 Yeah, so we can use like this.
24:41 You cut it like that.
24:43 Very good.
24:44 Just be careful with your fingers.
24:46 So you don't want your fingers getting the fry too.
24:50 We don't want any fingers in that food.
24:52 Yes.
24:54 We just want the tofu fingers.
24:55 Yes.
24:57 So you just put it like this. All right.
24:58 Put a little higher in this one.
24:59 Okay, here we go.
25:03 And you see it gets in a little brown in there
25:06 with brownish.
25:07 Yes, a little golden there.
25:10 So for now right there you can add all the veggies.
25:14 Peppers.
25:15 Yes, just put it to the side right here.
25:19 Very colorful, you have the orange pepper,
25:22 the red, the yellow.
25:23 You can use green bell peppers too you like,
25:26 you know, you like the green bell peppers
25:28 go for it, if you're able to do it.
25:30 Yeah.
25:31 I like that contrast.
25:33 I love those colors look at that.
25:35 Now the onions.
25:36 You can use the onions. Okay.
25:37 So you don't have to cook to--
25:39 the vegetables all the way through
25:41 because you want to-- when you eat the vegetables,
25:42 you want to eat a little bit crunchy.
25:43 Texture. Yes.
25:45 You want some textures to the food.
25:46 So a little bit of the crunch out of it,
25:47 that's what I like the vegetables,
25:49 when I eat it a little bit or crunch,
25:50 a little bit in the middle.
25:52 Okay.
25:53 Okay. So now this one right here.
26:00 We're gonna toss it in the pan
26:02 just making sure that we're not burning the peppers
26:05 or the onions.
26:07 Oh, that looks so good.
26:10 Beautiful, I love the contrast and the colors.
26:12 So in this one--
26:14 And that's our protein right there.
26:15 Yeah, that's the protein right there.
26:16 So you don't need no chicken, no beef or anything.
26:18 Yeah, so there's no meat product.
26:21 No meat products. Okay.
26:23 So now we're gonna put it this one to the side.
26:25 Okay.
26:26 The tofu.
26:28 Oh, take it out of the pan. Yeah, take it out of the pan.
26:30 Okay.
26:33 Very good.
26:34 And we're gonna make the sauce right now.
26:36 All right.
26:37 So friends at home, just remember,
26:39 these are very useful tips.
26:41 Write that down.
26:43 Wow.
26:45 Yeah, someday I'll be able to flip those veggies
26:48 and stay in the pan for a change.
26:50 With oregano.
26:52 Oregano, okay.
26:54 You can add--
26:57 This is the tomato paste. The tomato paste.
27:03 So don't worry about it, you have to, you know--
27:05 Dissolve. It'll dissolve.
27:06 It will dissolve when you put it the grape juice in there.
27:08 Oh, now the grape juice.
27:10 Oh, my, wow.
27:13 Now that is something I've never ever, every seen
27:16 or tried and I am so glad that I'm experiencing this.
27:21 And to make the sauce a little thicker in this one,
27:23 you don't have to add no more cornstarch or anything
27:26 because the tomato paste do it everything.
27:28 Okay, so the tomato paste
27:30 just makes a thicker consistency
27:32 once you let it simmer in the pan and so no worries.
27:36 Let's not rush into making the food thicker,
27:38 let that tomato sauce do it.
27:41 The tomato paste do its job.
27:43 Yeah, so let it over here,
27:45 let sit it over here for eight minutes.
27:47 But we're not gonna leave it over here for eight minutes,
27:48 so-- because I need more time.
27:51 But you see it constantly,
27:52 so this sauce gonna be reduce a little bit.
27:54 Right.
27:56 Maybe within three more minutes.
27:57 Okay.
27:59 But-- by the time we need to put it,
28:00 you know, you guys can accompany
28:01 with this one tomatoes or rice or any potato bread.
28:08 For this, you know, I'm gonna use
28:10 you don't like a hard polenta in here.
28:12 Oh, this is polenta. So I like polenta.
28:15 Okay. I like polenta a lot.
28:17 So polenta is gluten-free right,
28:19 because it's corn base.
28:21 Yes, it's a corn base. So very good.
28:23 Good to know.
28:24 So and during this program we've shared some vegan options
28:28 but also some gluten-free items or recipes which is good.
28:35 There are so many people that are allergic to gluten
28:37 or wheat these days.
28:39 So it's good that we have something for them as well
28:41 during this program, very good.
28:43 So we have the polenta, now you made the polenta
28:46 and what you said,
28:49 you can accompany this chicken cacciatore
28:52 with rice with pasta or--
28:54 With rice, pasta, or roasted potatoes
28:56 or mashed potatoes.
28:57 Or mashed potatoes. Okay. Yes.
28:59 Give me other one. Okay, very good so--
29:01 So now I put the tofu back in the sauce.
29:03 Yes, okay.
29:04 So we put a back in the sauce and, you see, you know,
29:07 you see like this the sauce is a little--
29:08 getting little thicker right now.
29:10 Yeah, it's thickening up. So it's ready to go.
29:11 It's ready to go. Oh.
29:12 So only thing I guess, I will grab the plate,
29:14 I'm gonna put the tofu in here.
29:15 So you don't want it too thick then.
29:17 No.
29:18 Because that, the juice from that
29:20 is going to marinate the polenta.
29:22 Yes. Okay.
29:24 And make it palatable and yummy
29:26 and have these juices marinating.
29:29 Oh. Wonderful, very good.
29:32 So this one, this recipe,
29:34 this is to make maybe for eight people.
29:37 Eight people? Eight people.
29:39 Yes, eight people. Very good.
29:41 So you just see it.
29:42 This is a beautiful option, look at that presentation.
29:45 Very nice.
29:47 So this is something that you can make ahead, can you?
29:50 Yes, you can make it ahead,
29:51 you can make it like a casserole and, you know--
29:54 Oh, casserole too. Yes, you can make it casserole.
29:56 So you don't have to make it just like at the time.
29:59 Oh, look at that.
30:01 And then you sprinkle some greens on there
30:04 which is the parsley right.
30:06 Yes. This is parsley.
30:07 And parsley is usually served a lot with the,
30:11 with the Italian meals
30:14 and it's amazing how much vitamin A it has
30:17 and also it clears your breath.
30:20 And when we're eating this garlic,
30:23 I mean, people are like, oh, garlic,
30:25 you know, sometimes we don't eat that parsley
30:28 but that's the purpose of it.
30:30 And so it freshen up your breath.
30:32 So anyhow, here is the final product
30:34 as you can see.
30:36 And I've not gotten into it, so now you get a shot of it
30:39 before I dig into this dish.
30:42 I love tofu.
30:43 And you know what,
30:44 I love the idea of using the polenta to compliment it.
30:47 The polenta it's also used in Italy quite a bit.
30:50 Yes, yes. I've noticed.
30:52 We always used, you know, it kind of whatever to protein,
30:55 you know, dishes to the sides or where you can use
30:58 instead of switching to mashed potato
30:59 we used the hard polenta or creamy polenta.
31:01 Or creamy polenta.
31:03 Okay, it's good to know the options.
31:04 I hope you're writing all these tips down.
31:06 Well, we're going to the next recipe,
31:08 I hope you're ready for it because we're gonna learn
31:11 how to make a risotto rice, the chef Javier style.
31:16 What do we need for that? So we need...
31:41 Very good, so we have a little bit of contrast in color
31:44 for this dish.
31:46 I don't know if you guys at home
31:47 have tried the risotto rice, I personally love it.
31:51 It is so wonderful and of course,
31:54 this is Tour de Italia.
31:57 We're on a Italian tour
31:58 where through the cuisine talents
32:01 of our guest chef, Javier.
32:04 So let's follow these steps that he's going to show us now.
32:08 Yes, for this risotto actually, you know, this risotto
32:12 they take me to make this recipe months.
32:16 Oh, really.
32:17 Yes, because I mean, you're not gonna found
32:19 any vegan risotto no where else.
32:21 No where else.
32:23 But this that's what I want to share the recipe
32:24 will you guys, you guys can know.
32:27 So we're gonna need the brown short rice.
32:29 And through it right here, actually put it this one first.
32:33 Start heated up.
32:35 It's nice and hot,
32:36 you just want the pan, nice and hot.
32:38 Yes, so put this rice in there, put a higher little bit hard.
32:42 Very good. Okay.
32:44 So want it to simmer, right.
32:45 Yeah, these recipes very easy, very easy,
32:48 you'd gonna throw everything in the same pot, everything.
32:51 Okay.
32:53 I like those type of recipes just throw it together and--
32:56 The garlic especially garlic, little garlic.
32:59 Garlic in all recipes.
33:00 Garlic in on the entire.
33:03 And if you don't put the garlic in this recipe,
33:04 they are not gonna taste that risotto,
33:06 I'm telling you.
33:07 Okay, so the risotto I thought it was just the grain,
33:10 the rice risotto.
33:11 But risotto is a dish.
33:14 Yeah, it's a dish, it's a dish. Okay.
33:16 So it's like a creamy risotto
33:18 that's what they call when you go to the restaurant
33:19 you were looking to have a creamy risotto
33:21 but not even the people
33:22 they make a regular risotto to make it right.
33:25 Okay. Yeah, so I'm--
33:27 Well, I just buy that rice at home
33:29 and I eat with my beans and, you know,
33:32 but now I have a good new recipe for me
33:36 to try for my family.
33:39 You know, it's incredible how the garlic brings in
33:43 so many flavors and sun dried tomatoes.
33:46 Usually we use the fresh or the paste
33:49 but now we're using a little bit of everything in your kitchen.
33:51 Yes, actually you can use and you can make this risotto
33:55 with any kind of vegetables.
33:57 Any-- whatever you like you can put zucchini,
34:00 you can put asparagus
34:01 you can put all different kind of,
34:02 you know, vegetables in this risotto--
34:04 Okay, very good.
34:05 So we want to simmer,
34:07 well, does it have to absorb all the--
34:09 They don't have to serve the whole water
34:10 because you want creamy.
34:12 Oh.
34:13 You want this risotto like a little bit creamy,
34:15 so 'cause you reduce this liquid all the way down,
34:18 you're not gonna be able to have a,
34:20 you know, a creamy risotto.
34:21 Okay, very good.
34:22 So this, you know, I'm gonna put everything drain out.
34:25 Okay. I'm gonna put the salt.
34:30 I put it the parmesan cheese.
34:32 Yes, even vegan parmesan cheese you can find nowaday.
34:38 Bit of the vegan cream cheese. Yes.
34:43 You see it. So far so good, chef.
34:47 It smell so good in the kitchen, yes.
34:51 Oh, yes.
34:52 And to make it creamy. Yeah.
34:55 This is the vegan butter. Okay.
34:58 And this is the non-hydrogenated vegan butter.
35:02 Actually it's the vegan butter.
35:04 Just put it right there.
35:07 All right.
35:09 Oh, yes, I see how creamy it's getting.
35:14 So the best place to start this is in a bowl
35:19 or is it thick enough with consistency what do you say?
35:24 I would say put 'em in a bowl or you put 'em in a,
35:27 you know, doesn't matter that you see it.
35:29 So you got to make sure that
35:30 it's got a little edge on the plate,
35:32 so the cream doesn't run off your plate.
35:36 Wow, it smell so good in here.
35:39 I'm tempted to grab a spoon and dig it in, but I won't.
35:41 You know, you can put Arugula.
35:43 Or you can put a baby spinach
35:45 or you can put any green colors in there.
35:47 Okay.
35:49 And you want to put the leaves in there,
35:50 the whole leaves.
35:52 Yes, you can put the greens and leaves in there.
35:53 And you can see that's the reason why I said,
35:57 just leave the liquid and you guys see it.
35:59 Perfect. This is ready to go.
36:01 It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
36:03 So you just kind of blanch the leaves,
36:06 you don't really cook it.
36:08 Yes, now don't cook it. It just blznching.
36:10 Actually any green thing here, they cook it by themselves
36:13 when you throw in here, you can see it.
36:14 The steam, the heat will.
36:16 It has to be nice and creamy, you guys see it?
36:18 Oh, yes, look at that.
36:20 All right, guys, I'm fine. That's what I looking for.
36:22 I'm gonna go sit down and eat now.
36:25 They have risotto. Beautiful.
36:26 Yes, yes. Risotto.
36:28 Don't worry about it come into the whole thing the plate
36:30 but this is supposed to be like that.
36:32 We have the final product here, guys, you know.
36:35 Sometimes we wonder
36:36 how are we gonna present this dish.
36:38 And, you know, the smell opens up our appetite
36:41 and what we see is what we want to again to,
36:45 the presentation of course, has lot to do with it.
36:49 I've met people whom not known,
36:53 not knowingly are tasting vegan cooking, vegan food.
36:57 And at the end of the day,
36:58 I was just talking to our friend actually
37:00 and it happen to her as well.
37:02 She had some people came over to this some carpet work.
37:05 And her husband just felt like inviting them
37:09 to stay for lunch.
37:10 And she served him a totally vegan meal.
37:13 Didn't say that it was vegan, just invited them
37:16 and then when they were getting ready to leave,
37:19 "by the way," her husband says, "my wife prepared a vegan meal.
37:23 That's what you had, vegetarian meal."
37:25 they said "What?
37:27 I never had vegetarian food before but that was amazing."
37:31 So, you know, be encouraged, you know, share a little dish
37:34 and encourage others so they can explore
37:38 because this is an adventure in the kitchen
37:41 and we don't realize how much there it is out there
37:43 and that we can adapt and we can just enjoy.
37:48 God is so good, He's is giving us so much.
37:50 So why tell us before we go to our last recipe.
37:54 I want to know why Chef Javier,
37:56 why did you choose cooking as to be an executive chef?
38:01 You know, I mean, I didn't choose the cooking.
38:03 The cooking chose me. Oh.
38:05 Yes, I mean, you know, I mean, I have a--
38:07 you know, my master chef.
38:10 So I used to go with him, you know, and talk with him.
38:13 You know, to reveal me, you know, to a newer recipes,
38:15 you know, and he does.
38:17 He always do that. He always do that.

38:27 Your master chef is in heaven.
38:29 So when you were young,

38:54 Very good.
38:55 So it is important to expose our children,
39:00 our young people to be everyday living whatever it takes,
39:03 have your kids help you balance a check book or bank account.
39:07 Have your kids do laundry with you.
39:09 Have your kids in the kitchen?
39:11 It's very rewarding because when I'm sick
39:13 my kids cook for me in, I love it.
39:16 So now we have Chef Javier testifying of the blessing
39:21 and the benefits that constitutes
39:24 or comes with vegan vegetarian diet.
39:28 Now because of health reasons
39:30 many of you are seeking new recipes and new ideas
39:35 and that is why we have Chef Javier here.
39:38 So we want to thank Javier for being here
39:41 and sharing these recipes from the heart,
39:44 very comforting recipes.
39:45 It's my pleasure.
39:47 And talking about comforting recipes.
39:50 We have one last recipe and this is very comforting,
39:53 it is a dessert.
39:55 Yes.
39:57 So we want to share this recipe with you
40:00 and this is a Fruit Tart.
40:02 And what do we need for this?
40:04 For this recipe we need...
40:23 So we have new option for our table
40:26 for our dessert needs,
40:28 you know, something about desserts
40:30 that we look forward to at every meal, right.
40:33 So please show us which steps to follow and your tips.
40:38 All right, we're gonna use to marinate the fruit
40:41 with the sugar we need to do this one first, okay.
40:44 Oh, okay.
40:46 Because we need to get it serve the juice
40:48 when you put it the brown sugar they're gonna come the juices
40:50 from the peaches from the blackberries too.
40:53 So add the sugar. Okay. Yes.
40:54 You put the peaches. And the peaches as well.
40:57 Okay, here we go. Very good.
41:00 And you noticed that there-- no juice right now, right.
41:02 So after you put-- when you mix well
41:05 and they take like eight minutes maybe less
41:10 and you can-- the juice come out of the fruit by itself.
41:14 So you just leave it in here for a little bit.
41:16 Okay, we set it a side for now.
41:18 Yes, we need to make the dough. Let's make the dough.
41:20 We make the dough, but we need to make this one first, okay.
41:23 So don't worry about it,
41:24 we need to transfer this one right here.
41:28 So transfer right here.
41:32 All right.
41:33 So in a separate bowl, that's what we would need.
41:37 In a separate bowl to do it all.
41:38 Yeah, you can use the separate bowl,
41:40 you can use the same bowl.
41:41 I mean, it's up to you. All right.
41:43 I'm only using this this time.
41:45 All right. So I use the cup of flour.
41:48 There it goes, the whole wheat flour.
41:49 Yes. Use the brown sugar.
41:52 A brown sugar.
41:54 A pinch of salt. Salt.
41:58 We can put the butter. And butter.
42:02 And you can put the water in the last, okay.
42:04 You just mix it together first. Okay.
42:09 So make sure, you know, the--
42:11 you do it very well in this one,
42:13 you know, dissolve the butter and the flour.
42:14 Dissolve the butter with the flour. Exactly.
42:16 Otherwise it will be harder to do it
42:18 once you incorporate the water.
42:19 Yes. Right.
42:21 So, yeah, you know, they have a different kinds of
42:23 make these tart.
42:25 But this tart, you know, I used to making this time
42:26 with this kind of-- only two fruits
42:29 you can add more fruits if you like.
42:31 So but this one and just only two fruits,
42:33 you know, just the peaches and blackberries.
42:35 And it's a really nice contrast that you have.
42:37 You have the bright color, you have the dark, yes.
42:41 And it's good that we're making it a home
42:44 because we know exactly what ingredients are in that,
42:48 in that recipe, very good.
42:50 And you see they had a little more butter--
42:52 I mean, more flour in here.
42:55 But and I don't have to worry about it, okay.
42:58 Okay.
43:00 So we need to use--
43:01 So we're gonna have to let on the dough rest, right.
43:02 Yes, so we need to let the dough rest for a while,
43:06 ten minutes.
43:08 Ten minutes. Ten minutes.
43:09 And we can put it, set a piece of paper.
43:11 Yes, plastic wrap.
43:14 Okay, rest in there for ten minutes.
43:17 Very good. In the oven.
43:19 So end--
43:21 We will wrap it, right.
43:24 It wrap it, there we go.
43:27 And we put it in the-- there for ten minutes.
43:28 And we got in the refrigerator all right.
43:31 Because I already have it, ten minutes,
43:32 I already have it in here. Okay.
43:35 Now we let it rest for 10 minutes
43:36 in the refrigerator.
43:38 And you noticed that. See that. Here we go.
43:39 Oh, yeah, I see that the texture
43:42 because the butter, you know, it seems the texture once again
43:47 once it cooling.
43:48 And you see the, the other one, you know,
43:49 I don't know you guys saw, you know, it's like a very--
43:53 didn't have enough flour.
43:54 But they come out just like this after ten minutes.
