00:12 I want to spend my life

00:24 Lord, let my words
00:30 Heal a heart that hurts
00:34 I want to spend my life
00:40 Mending broken people
00:46 I want to spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people
01:09 Well, hello, friends and family.
01:11 This is Idalia Dinzey.
01:12 And this is the day that the Lord has made.
01:16 We will rejoice and be glad in it.
01:18 Amen.
01:19 Today is the gift from God.
01:21 And during this prayer we will want to bless your life
01:24 through the ministry of LIGHT Ministries,
01:27 because we are presenting some special recipes
01:30 for you and your loved ones.
01:32 And we're doing some vegan recipes.
01:35 So if you are tuning in for the first time,
01:37 we invite you to just grab a pen or pencil,
01:42 grab something to write down some tips
01:45 that we're going to be sharing with you throughout this hour.
01:48 Well, our guest today is Carin Lynch,
01:50 and she's no stranger to you, so no stranger to me either.
01:54 So welcome back, Carin.
01:55 Thank you. Thank you so much, Idalia.
01:57 I appreciate it.
01:58 Are you having fun at LIGHT Ministries?
02:00 Oh, always.
02:01 We have a good time wherever we go.
02:03 Praise the Lord.
02:04 Wonderful. Tell us what is LIGHT Ministries?
02:06 Well, LIGHT is the Lay Institute
02:08 for Global Health Training.
02:10 And what we do is, my husband and I
02:13 are North American Division Directors for LIGHT.
02:16 And what we do is we, actually,
02:18 go to churches in the US, Canada, Bermuda.
02:21 If you're in Bermuda, we'd be happy to go to Bermuda.
02:23 How's that?
02:24 But we are...
02:26 What we do is we travel
02:27 and we do health emphasis programs.
02:30 We do cooking schools.
02:32 What we do is we try to excite the church
02:35 and get them on board to take health ministries
02:39 to reach people for the kingdom of God and their community.
02:41 And that is a great help to even our church members,
02:44 to our family members because sometimes
02:47 we are stuck in the same recipes.
02:50 So maybe your doctor has said,
02:52 "You know what, your cholesterol is too high.
02:54 You need to make changes."
02:55 That's right.
02:56 And once someone is diagnosed with a condition,
02:59 your world comes crumbling apart.
03:01 "But what am I going to eat?
03:02 You know, what am I going to prepare now?"
03:05 So we go in this frenzy, well,
03:06 the people that suffer of those illnesses.
03:10 So here, this is a tool for you.
03:12 We are...
03:14 We're wanting to mend broken people.
03:16 We want to bring peace to your heart
03:18 because the Lord has impressed the hearts
03:21 of the Ministry of LIGHT Ministries,
03:25 as well as your heart to set these recipes.
03:28 This is just not just any recipe.
03:31 There's a purpose here,
03:32 and the purpose is to help you along the way to make changes.
03:36 Small changes bring big results, right?
03:40 Exactly, and you know, it's a journey, Idalia.
03:42 It is...
03:43 You know, we start and we make these changes
03:45 and as we go along we continue to progress.
03:47 That's right.
03:49 So really it's...
03:50 But it's a journey for all of us always.
03:51 Amen.
03:53 Well, are you folks ready to find out
03:55 what the menu is for this hour?
03:57 I'm sure am. Are you ready?
03:58 I'm ready.
04:00 Very good.
04:01 So we're going to do a Mexican made simple menu.
04:03 That's right.
04:04 So what is the first recipe
04:06 that we're making out of a group of recipes
04:09 that we're going to be sharing?
04:11 As you can see on your screen,
04:12 our first recipe is going to be
04:15 this roasted tomato salsa.
04:19 As you can see it looks delicious
04:21 and you can serve it with your chips,
04:23 your favorite chips.
04:24 And we have another option for you,
04:26 which is the corn and black bean salsa.
04:29 Doesn't that look colorful?
04:31 Oh my, it looks so appetizing.
04:34 So we're going to follow up with some taco seasoning,
04:37 no MSG, no sugars, all natural, you're in for a treat.
04:42 Let's bring that flavoring in with this soy curl fajitas.
04:48 I know your mouth is watering by now.
04:51 And we are going to have fun during this hour
04:53 showing you how to make these delicious fajitas.
04:56 We continue on to accompany the dish
04:59 with cilantro lime rice.
05:02 Yes, I should say cilantro lime rice,
05:06 curious recipe and delicious.
05:09 We're going to accompany our rice
05:10 with some refried beans and these have no oil.
05:15 So if you are watching and listening,
05:17 yes, I said refried beans with no oil.
05:20 What are we going to do with that?
05:22 We'll show you.
05:23 And, of course, we're going to finish
05:25 with the traditional drink Mexican drink
05:28 with the famous horchata.
05:30 So this is the rice horchata that they make in Mexico,
05:34 and they usually accompany it with their meals.
05:37 So don't forget, grab your pens and papers
05:40 so you can write down some tips and information
05:43 that it's going to be very useful for you.
05:45 If you have a phone, take a picture of the screen.
05:49 But we're going to offer you the recipes
05:51 by going to our 3abn. TV website
05:55 or you can download our app, 3ABN+
05:58 and you will have access to all the programs there
06:02 and also the recipes.
06:04 But we're also going to encourage you
06:07 later on in the program
06:08 we're going to share the contact information
06:10 for our chef Carin Lynch
06:11 because she does have a cookbook.
06:14 That's right.
06:15 Tell me how exciting was this cookbook
06:17 to put it together?
06:18 Oh, it was... We had so much fun doing it.
06:20 I had a great team that worked with me
06:22 and we just had a wonderful time.
06:24 Amen.
06:25 Well, without further ado,
06:28 we're going to get our hands busy now in the kitchen,
06:30 so we're going to go to the first recipe.
06:32 Would you please read the recipe
06:34 for our viewers at home
06:35 and let's launch into the kitchen?
06:37 Absolutely.
06:38 Okay our first recipe is going to be the roasted tomato salsa.
07:01 Excellent.
07:02 Well, you just said one salt there
07:04 that is not common in some places.
07:07 Himalayan salt, where does that come from?
07:09 I mean we've heard of sea salt and table salt, iodine salt.
07:14 I mean, so many different types of salt.
07:16 Well, Himalayan pink salt is actually a sea salt
07:18 but it's a mined sea salt.
07:20 And I like to use Himalayan pink salt
07:22 because it's mined about 5000 below sea level.
07:27 And what happens is that, you know, we get a pure salt.
07:30 It's about 99.9% pure,
07:32 so it really has a lot of minerals in it.
07:35 It's got about 84 trace minerals in them
07:37 and then which trace minerals are what we need for our body,
07:42 we need to take from our foods.
07:44 Our body doesn't make minerals,
07:46 and so this is why it's important.
07:48 You know other salts,
07:49 you know I think about sea salt was very popular.
07:51 And traditional sea salt, you know, was...
07:54 Probably about 20 years ago,
07:55 traditional sea salt became pretty,
07:57 you know, popular.
07:59 But what happened is that
08:00 these big companies started over-processing it,
08:03 and now they've really found out
08:05 something called microplastics.
08:06 Have you ever heard of microplastics?
08:07 Wow! No, I never heard.
08:09 Microplastics are actually plastic
08:11 that we ingest through either the environment,
08:14 or through eating foods.
08:18 And so what happens is that
08:19 there's a lot of dumping in the oceans,
08:23 and so we get these residual plastics in our body.
08:26 We eat about approximately a credit cards worth
08:30 of plastic a week.
08:31 Oh, wow!
08:33 And there's no funding in them.
08:35 No, it's not the credit card, sadly.
08:37 It is just the plastics worth, and so that's the hard part.
08:40 And we have to realize
08:42 and that's not good for our system obviously.
08:43 As you can see, we have a lot of information for you.
08:46 She is available to go to your community,
08:49 your church to teach you more and more about
08:54 different information about health and recipes.
08:56 But right now we're going to get our hands
08:58 to the plow here for the roasted tomato salsa.
09:00 That's right.
09:01 So what do we do?
09:03 Well, we're going to take...
09:04 First of all, we're going to take our tomatoes.
09:06 And we've just some chops tomatoes here,
09:07 and I'm just going to spread them out
09:08 on a baking sheet here.
09:10 Oh, it's interesting. You didn't...
09:11 When do you put the oil on here?
09:12 I'm just gonna... I'm actually going
09:14 to why dirty in extra bowl.
09:15 Usually, I just chop and throw them,
09:17 but here we have them already chopped.
09:18 Excellent.
09:19 So I, you know, I don't heat in...
09:21 It's my cookbook is Plant-Based Made Simple.
09:23 It is not just simple foods but it's simply prepared,
09:26 simple ingredients.
09:28 That's perfect.
09:29 So it's simple nutritious and delicious, my catchphrase.
09:32 All right, we're going to take some onions.
09:33 We'll just take an onion here,
09:35 and I'm going to mix that up, and some garlic.
09:38 We're going to roast these in the oven.
09:39 Oh, I love garlic.
09:41 And what I do is I'll just take about a tablespoon of oil.
09:43 Excellent, that looks so good.
09:46 And so vibrant, you know, the tomatoes are so good.
09:49 You know, the one thing nice about tomatoes,
09:51 we want to incorporate tomatoes in our diet
09:53 because they're a wonderful antioxidant,
09:55 especially because of the lycopene.
09:57 And so what I'm doing is
09:59 I'm just getting this all stirred up
10:01 and ready to go here.
10:02 And what we'll do is we'll stick this
10:05 in the oven to roast.
10:06 Okay so we're going to roast it and tell us what degree?
10:10 About 400 degrees, about 20 minutes or so.
10:13 You can just check.
10:14 You want to make sure that the onions
10:16 may be starting to actually, you know, just about...
10:19 You see them that they're soft
10:20 and that the tomatoes have started breaking down,
10:22 about 20 minutes to 25 you can do two.
10:25 So we're going to stick this in,
10:26 but I'm also going to take your hot made
10:28 because we already have...
10:30 The oven.
10:31 That's right. That's right.
10:33 Nice.
10:34 So this is a quick salsa.
10:36 I mean, when we go to the restaurants
10:38 and we're like, "Oh, this salsa tastes good."
10:41 But we can just prepare our very own at home
10:44 and it's got no vinegar, no sugars, no MSG.
10:48 What else do they put in there?
10:50 We need to learn to read the labels,
10:52 actually, you ask me.
10:53 You know in this day and age,
10:54 you really need to be a good label reader.
10:57 Right, I need to improve on that.
10:59 The nice thing about this though is that
11:00 everything is so completely fresh and it's so simple.
11:06 I mean, it's really just chop and blend.
11:08 So what we're going to do
11:09 is we're going to try to scoop some of this out here.
11:12 Grab the pan with here.
11:13 All right.
11:15 I'm going to scoop this right into our blender.
11:18 It's nice to have a high speed blender too.
11:20 When you're doing plant-based cooking,
11:23 your blender, I always say,
11:25 is your best friend in the kitchen.
11:27 Now, my husband,
11:28 on the other hand will argue that and say,
11:30 "Who's your best friend in the kitchen?"
11:32 And I have to correct that every time and tell people,
11:35 "It's my second best friend in the kitchen."
11:37 And let me tell you something, I have to tell you that
11:39 he is my best friend in the kitchen
11:41 because we couldn't do what we do on the road
11:44 and do all the programs that we do,
11:46 the health programs, not just cooking.
11:48 We do a lot of different programs,
11:50 disease and treatment and medical missionary work.
11:53 We do a lot.
11:54 Wonderful!
11:56 I'm glad that you brought that in
11:57 and you mentioned that because as you can see,
12:01 this is a family ministry so it takes the family.
12:04 If the wife is trying to make changes,
12:06 and then, you know your wife needs to make changes
12:09 for her health, support her.
12:11 And the wives at home they say,
12:13 "Oh honey, I'll just give you this.
12:15 You just so settle for that."
12:16 No, you're not going to settle for that.
12:18 You are investing in your family,
12:20 so please take this seriously.
12:22 We are a team.
12:24 And the Lord blessed you with the family
12:25 and you're responsible for your family.
12:28 So let's read labels and let's encourage each other
12:31 and support each other.
12:32 So my best friend in the kitchen
12:34 is my husband and my boys too.
12:36 All right so we have the blender.
12:38 What are we going to do now?
12:39 It's so easy.
12:40 So I'm going to ask you if you want to just take our cilantro,
12:42 we have our cilantro.
12:43 We can put that in here.
12:44 Ooh, cilantro!
12:46 Yes, and what is cilantro good for?
12:47 Cilantro is actually very helpful in taking heavy metals.
12:49 Exactly, I'm glad you mentioned that.
12:51 And this is fresh lime juice?
12:53 Fresh lime.
12:55 I'm hungry already.
12:56 And then some Himalayan pink salt.
12:58 Himalayan pink salt.
12:59 That's right.
13:00 One thing about Himalayan pink salt
13:02 though I do have to say is that
13:03 we have to be careful with our iodine
13:05 because Himalayan pink salt
13:06 although has a trace amount of iodine.
13:08 It does not have enough
13:09 to really support good thyroid health.
13:11 That's right.
13:12 So what I do is I actually buy a good quality
13:16 iodized sea salt and I mix that in.
13:19 So I mix in like about a quarter cup
13:21 to three quarters of a cup,
13:23 just to give myself enough iodine,
13:24 and I'm not iodine deficient, so praise God.
13:25 Wonderful!
13:27 So I want to make sure that this is on low
13:28 and we want to start.
13:30 Yes, it is on low.
13:31 And we're just going to blend this until we get it mixed.
13:32 Yeah, go for it.
13:34 It's plugged in, and I put it very low.
13:35 Yeah, we're good.
13:36 And we...
13:38 Here we go.
13:40 Ooh, yeah.
13:44 We just want to make sure that the garlic,
13:46 you know, that's blended well.
13:51 Nice.
13:52 Here we go.
13:54 I love garlic, raw garlic.
13:55 You know there are some people that'll say,
13:57 "Oh, I don't want raw garlic."
13:58 Well, there are some benefits to the garlic
14:01 because it's the European antibiotic, right?
14:03 Yeah, exactly.
14:04 You know Allicin is the chemical
14:06 in, the phytochemical in...
14:08 So you're ready to pull it?
14:10 Here we go.
14:11 I'm left-handed so this worked out perfectly.
14:13 Oh, yeah, that's right, you are left-handed.
14:15 Is this good?
14:16 We got in there.
14:18 Now, if you want,
14:19 you know, you can put more tomatoes in it.
14:21 If you wanted a little more tomatoey, it's really...
14:24 And for people that don't like their cilantro,
14:26 can we put like pot flat leaf, parsley?
14:28 Well that's exactly what... Yeah.
14:30 I like to say any of the recipes
14:32 that we're doing today,
14:33 you know, cilantro is really an herb
14:35 that in Mexican cuisine,
14:37 you're going to see a lot.
14:38 So what I would tell you is, if you don't like cilantro...
14:42 And what they say is that it's kind of a hereditary thing
14:45 that you either love cilantro or you hate cilantro.
14:48 And so if you don't love cilantro,
14:50 like I love cilantro,
14:51 well then you can now add fresh flat leaf parsley.
14:54 You can do that.
14:55 Excellent.
14:57 And if you want to make the recipe and invite us over,
14:59 we'll be happy to send and check away.
15:01 Exactly, of course. Of course.
15:03 Well, we are ready for the next recipe.
15:06 It's a salsa.
15:07 So please, share the recipe with us.
15:09 Okay.
15:11 So our next recipe is going to be
15:12 the corn and black beans salsa.
15:14 This is almost like a salad, actually.
15:16 I know.
15:17 All right.
15:57 And that's all that we need for this delicious
16:00 salsa colorful and all.
16:02 You have protein, you have grain.
16:04 What do we have?
16:05 Well, we're going to start with some corn.
16:07 Now, the thing is that in the recipe say...
16:10 Or you can use fresh corn, which would be the best.
16:12 But is fresh corn always available?
16:14 Not.
16:15 It's seasonal. No, it's seasonal.
16:16 Exactly.
16:18 So I recommend, if you don't have the fresh corn,
16:19 obviously, to use like a frozen corn.
16:22 And the reason why is
16:23 because when you buy frozen foods,
16:26 they're flash frozen
16:27 at the peak of freshness, right?
16:28 And the second thing is that you can buy organic,
16:32 and you know, the sad part is that
16:34 corn is one of those vegetables
16:36 that basically is genetically modified
16:39 about 88% genetically modified.
16:42 So we're going to start with the corn,
16:43 we'll put that in.
16:45 Let's put some color in your life.
16:47 This is very festive.
16:49 I found Mexico...
16:50 I love Mexican cooking.
16:51 I love Mexican culture because it's so festive.
16:55 So we got our black beans and I'm going to put these in.
16:58 This is what I called the dumping recipes.
17:00 Yes, of course.
17:02 And our tomatoes, here you go and take those for me.
17:04 Yes, dump the tomatoes.
17:06 Very good.
17:08 So we have red, we have black, we have yellow.
17:11 Now, they call this red onion but it's purple in my book.
17:13 I don't know why they call it red onion, but it gives...
17:16 I know, I've been wondering that too, Chef Carin.
17:18 Why on the earth do we call it red onions?
17:19 I don't know.
17:21 Now, here we go with our green.
17:22 Oh, my, look at that color, beautiful.
17:25 All of it?
17:27 Yeah, put it all in.
17:28 I love cilantro.
17:30 So I am not Mexican, I'm Puerto Rican,
17:33 but we also use a lot of cilantro in our cuisine.
17:36 In Latino cooking, you find that a lot
17:38 and also in Asian as well.
17:40 But I find more in Indian,
17:42 but I find more in Latino culture.
17:43 This is beautiful. Very nice.
17:45 And then, of course, we're going to make our dressing,
17:47 which really just going to be some lime juice.
17:49 Just lime juice?
17:51 Yeah, this is fresh lime.
17:52 Oh, my mouth got watery and our friends at home
17:55 are saying the same thing.
17:57 All right.
17:58 And, of course, our Himalayan pink salt in,
18:00 so this is nice
18:01 and we're going to sprinkle that in.
18:03 And you can go ahead and mix that up.
18:06 Toss it. Very nice.
18:07 And then, I let this kind of marinate for,
18:10 you know, a couple hours in the refrigerator
18:12 to really get the lime juice and the salt
18:15 really getting melding those flavors together.
18:17 Well, because of the lime juice,
18:19 I just don't want to wait for it to marinate.
18:22 It's very nice and fresh.
18:23 I can dig right in.
18:25 You can do it.
18:26 But the one thing I do,
18:27 do at the end is I don't put my avocado.
18:30 I like avocado
18:31 and there's so many good health benefits about avocado.
18:33 Okay. But talk to us about it?
18:35 Well, avocado, the first thing is that it's actually a fruit.
18:38 It is not a vegetable.
18:39 And in a lot of...
18:41 In some cultures they actually eat it sweet.
18:42 I do when I do some raw cooking,
18:43 I will do like a carob avocado mousse.
18:47 And it's made with avocados and it's raw,
18:49 but that is sweet.
18:50 But this is going to be on a savory way.
18:53 The nice thing about avocado is monounsaturated fats.
18:56 Monounsaturated fats are good for heart health
18:58 and this so wonderful for that, lots of potassium.
19:01 Do you know avocados have more potassium in them
19:04 than a banana?
19:05 What?
19:07 Yeah, totally.
19:08 I never heard that before,
19:09 but thank you for letting me know.
19:11 Yeah.
19:12 And another thing that people don't realize
19:13 is avocados have so much fiber in them.
19:15 It's like 70 something percent fiber,
19:16 but it's insoluble fiber and soluble fiber,
19:18 so we got both.
19:20 So I like to just put this...
19:21 You're such a great teacher.
19:23 I'm so thankful the Lord brought us together here.
19:24 Amen.
19:25 Well, God is good.
19:27 I think you know. I don't...
19:28 I think that when I do cooking schools
19:29 and when I do programs,
19:31 I always put this on top and let people dip in.
19:32 Yeah.
19:34 It's more like a garnishing out.
19:35 Exactly, I should have probably waited
19:36 till I put it in our dish here.
19:39 But the thing about is, is I think that education,
19:41 we should educate, educate, educate.
19:43 It's never too late, Chef Carin,
19:45 if you allow me, please.
19:46 Oh, go ahead.
19:47 I'm just going to take a couple of these avocado pieces.
19:50 See, this will happen at home too.
19:53 We're very down to home here in the kitchen.
19:54 Of course.
19:56 And in our family and people come to visit,
19:58 we don't leave the kitchen table.
19:59 We're just visiting at the table.
20:01 That's right.
20:02 And if you come and I'm cooking,
20:03 I'm going to put you to work too
20:05 because it's fun to share recipes.
20:07 We're just going to put this right in our dish here,
20:10 and then we can...
20:11 Perfect! Look how beautiful that is.
20:13 The Lord is good.
20:14 Amen.
20:15 Is there, I mean...
20:17 He's given us so many...
20:18 And you know, the colors
20:19 of the foods are going to give us
20:21 so many different phytochemicals, phytonutrients.
20:24 So we're going to have all of those here
20:26 and then we can just put those avocados on top and...
20:29 Yes. Here we go.
20:31 And it's really good.
20:32 And, you know, I like to say this is great with chips,
20:35 of course, but you can eat this as a salad on the side.
20:38 You know, you can have a like a nice,
20:39 fresh salad before you get you meals started.
20:42 Wonderful.
20:43 Well, guys I'm so excited.
20:45 I'm learning with you and praise the Lord
20:47 that He has made provision for all of our needs.
20:51 We're going continue to our next recipe.
20:53 And now, what's the next recipe?
20:55 What are we making?
20:56 Okay.
20:57 Read the recipe.
20:59 Our next recipe is just going to be taco seasoning.
21:22 Let's put some flavor in your life, I would say.
21:26 This taco seasoning, is it a basic taco seasoning
21:29 that we multi use?
21:31 Yes, it is.
21:32 In fact, I made this and then I keep it in a little jar
21:34 so I can use it being right at home
21:36 because there's a few things.
21:38 When we're purchasing things outside, oregano...
21:41 When we're talking about reading ingredients, right?
21:43 Well, they're things like MSG,
21:45 high sodium and something that's in a lot of,
21:50 you know, taco seasonings
21:51 and seasonings like that of chilies.
21:53 Now, I'm not putting any kind of chili powder
21:55 or anything in here.
21:57 And the reason why is because chilies are really,
21:58 actually, can have an adverse effect
22:01 on like our stomach mucosa.
22:03 It can also...
22:05 It can affect our gastrointestinal system.
22:08 And so, basically, they've done a study,
22:11 actually, in Mexico City,
22:13 where they studied people and stomach cancer
22:15 is a high rate of people who eat a lot of chilies.
22:19 And so I don't put chili powder in my taco seasoning.
22:24 So now you said, "MSG."
22:26 What is MSG
22:27 and what's the big deal about MSG?
22:30 Monosodium glutamate, you know, our body actually...
22:33 A lot of foods have something called glutamate in it,
22:35 which is an amino acid.
22:37 But monosodium glutamate,
22:38 when they concentrate it like that,
22:40 is an excitotoxin
22:41 and it's dangerous for our health, really.
22:43 And so we want to stay away from that.
22:45 It's food enhancer and a lot of cultures use it,
22:48 but we really should stay away from it.
22:49 Okay, let's stay away from MSG.
22:51 That's right, and the chili, so we have no chilies in here.
22:53 Okay.
22:55 So we're going to start with...
22:56 This is smoked paprika,
22:57 but you could use regular paprika if you'd like.
22:59 I like a little bit of the smoky flavor in there,
23:01 so we're going to use a little smoky paprika.
23:04 I have some cumin.
23:06 Oh, yes, I use cumin a lot. Amen.
23:09 And some coriander.
23:11 Ground coriander.
23:13 And what is coriander?
23:14 It's the cilantro seeds all grounded.
23:16 That's right.
23:17 It's ground cilantro.
23:18 And we have the Himalayan pink salt again.
23:20 Yes, that's right.
23:21 And, of course, you can adjust your salt
23:22 if you're on a lower sodium diet, adjust the salt.
23:24 Very good. I'm glad you mentioned that.
23:26 I always say a recipe is a guide.
23:30 It works as a guide, really.
23:31 You look at that and you decide,
23:32 you make it with how your family would take it,
23:34 and what's best for you.
23:36 One on each side. That's right.
23:37 And here is some garlic powder.
23:38 Let's get this all ground up a little bit here.
23:41 Garlic powder.
23:43 I've some... You know, I have some friends
23:45 that really cannot tolerate garlic or onion.
23:49 Yeah.
23:51 So then you know what they said...
23:52 This is, actually, onion powder,
23:53 so we're going to use onion powder here.
23:55 But then again, if they can't tolerate that
23:56 or I don't know, sometimes people can't tolerate
23:59 the vegetable itself,
24:00 but they can tolerate the seasoning.
24:01 But if they can, this is something that
24:03 they can adjust with something else.
24:04 Wonderful.
24:06 And then I'm using some oregano.
24:07 Oregano.
24:08 Ground oregano.
24:10 And so let's put this in it.
24:11 As simple as that.
24:13 And we're done. Look at, just mix this up.
24:14 And this is great because it makes a good amount.
24:17 And you can put this right in a little...
24:18 I put it in mason jar, and I have it for any time
24:21 I want a little Mexican flair or just these flavors.
24:25 And you just want to mix that up.
24:27 So you can use it for your Mexican salad lasagna
24:29 with the tortillas and the fillings.
24:31 Exactly.
24:32 Your tacos and you can,
24:34 whatever, I put it in a lot of different things.
24:37 I do a Southwestern tofu scramble
24:40 and I just sprinkle it on top before I serve it.
24:41 That sounds good.
24:43 Oh, it's so good.
24:44 There it is.
24:45 All right, here we go.
24:47 And then here is our taco seasoning.
24:48 Well, this recipe is like a trampoline
24:50 into the next recipe.
24:51 That's right because we're going to be using this.
24:53 Yes, we're going to go in Southern cook.
24:55 We're going to get that pan out
24:56 and we're going to make some soy curl fajitas.
25:00 What do we need for that?
25:02 Okay.
25:37 Well, let's take our class on assembling some fajitas.
25:40 Let's make these delicious soy curl fajitas.
25:42 Sure.
25:43 I'm going to start with the soy curls.
25:45 Now, I don't know if you're familiar
25:46 with soy curls but soy curls are...
25:49 They're just dehydrated soybeans.
25:51 Just mashed soybeans
25:52 and the nice thing about these soy curls
25:54 is that you can use them in almost any kind of chicken
25:56 or meat alternative preparation, absolutely.
25:58 So we'll get them started.
26:00 I'm going to stick them in along with some water
26:02 because we need to rehydrate them.
26:06 And I'm going to season them right in the pan here.
26:09 I'm going to use some chicken style seasoning,
26:11 which is just basically some herbs
26:13 put together and some seasonings put together
26:16 to get almost like a chicken brothy kind of flavor.
26:18 Not all kind of flavor and when they absorb,
26:21 and we'll also mix that up here a little bit.
26:23 Oh, yeah.
26:24 And then I'm going to, actually,
26:25 put the taco seasoning right in.
26:27 Oh, yes.
26:29 So how long do you let it simmer for?
26:31 You know, you can...
26:33 What do you want to do, usually,
26:34 it takes about 10 minutes to hydrate
26:36 but you can, actually...
26:37 Since we're going to saute them a little bit
26:40 with our vegetables,
26:41 that we don't need to have them...
26:43 We'll just need 10 minutes.
26:44 We will just need to get them softened.
26:45 So I'm going to start them with our vegetables.
26:49 Veggies, yes.
26:50 And we have our red pepper.
26:53 Put that on there.
26:54 Our green and our white.
26:58 And you want to know why I chose these colors?
27:00 Why?
27:01 Because it's Mexican flag colors.
27:03 Yeah, she's got it.
27:04 You got it.
27:06 I'm on it.
27:07 And that's why. So I really get this.
27:08 But the funny thing is, as you notice,
27:10 I am not using any oil.
27:11 What I'm going to do is add some water.
27:15 And you know people always say,
27:17 "How are you going to saute with water?"
27:20 Well, I'm going to let you know that the interesting thing
27:23 is that I started not using oil
27:26 when I learned a little bit about what happens
27:29 when we raise the temperature of oil.
27:31 Okay, now you've created curiosity.
27:33 What happens when we raise the temperature of oil?
27:35 Okay.
27:37 Well, this is the thing.
27:39 Oil has a smoke point.
27:40 And every oil has a different temperature
27:42 of which it starts to smoke.
27:47 When we use oil, it molecularly breaks down
27:50 and what happens is that it becomes a carcinogen.
27:53 And so we want to...
27:54 We don't want to cause cancer causing agents
27:57 and free radicals in our body.
27:58 And so...
28:00 There's another thing too that's very interesting.
28:01 When we cook oil and it starts to smoke,
28:04 it's very toxic fumes.
28:06 And these toxic fumes are cancer causing as well.
28:09 In fact, they did a study in China.
28:11 And this study was women
28:13 who did a lot of cooking in a wok
28:15 and you know woks are very high temperature.
28:17 Yes, that's right.
28:18 And what happens is that when they did that,
28:20 they found that these women had extremely high lung cancer.
28:25 Wow!
28:26 And so there's a couple of reasons
28:28 why we don't want to do that.
28:29 Especially also too, when we fried foods
28:30 we get extra calories
28:32 and fat calories are higher than carbohydrates
28:35 or proteins.
28:36 That's right.
28:37 And plus, you at home,
28:39 you know, if you suffer of acid reflux,
28:42 it may be that the grease
28:43 you're putting your food is provoking some of that.
28:45 I'm not a doctor
28:47 and I'm not a health coach or anything.
28:50 But I do notice that when people eat greasy food,
28:55 I cannot eat greasy food
28:57 because it does not settle well with me
28:59 or my husband and even my children.
29:01 They're like, "Mom, this kind of food has too much grease."
29:03 And I say, "Don't eat it."
29:05 I prefer to make something else
29:07 or buy something else and eat healthy.
29:09 That's right.
29:11 So little changes, big results, remember that, small steps.
29:14 Don't be overwhelmed, be encouraged.
29:17 You're not alone in this walk.
29:18 We're all together and that's what 3ABN is for
29:21 to help you along the way
29:23 and that is why Chef Carin is here.
29:26 And don't forget she does have a recipe book,
29:28 so I will give you the information
29:30 later on in the program so remember that.
29:33 Okay, I'm done talking.
29:34 Let's go back to the frying pan.
29:35 No, that's great.
29:37 Now, the one thing that you have to notice
29:38 is that when you're learning to saute with...
29:40 I'm just stirring this...
29:41 With water.
29:42 When you're sauteing with water,
29:44 you have to understand that water absorbs and oil doesn't.
29:46 That's right, it evaporates.
29:47 You know, it evaporates, excuse me.
29:49 So, thank you.
29:50 And so what we want to do
29:51 is you want to make sure that you keep an eye on it
29:54 that it doesn't, you know, start to burn or anything.
29:56 You know I find out... Right.
29:57 While were you shaking like that,
29:59 it just when you see those special bean
30:00 tossing up like those.
30:02 Do you want me to do it?
30:03 No, well, I can.
30:04 But I will.
30:06 Just getting inspired here cooking with you.
30:08 That's right.
30:09 Well, you know the thing is
30:11 I've also wanted to say about the oil.
30:12 I learned, like I grew up in an Italian household.
30:14 Then my mother was...
30:15 I mean we grew up on garlic, olive oil, onions, pasta,
30:19 these are things that are, you know...
30:20 Mangia, mangia.
30:21 Exactly, all the time.
30:23 And so, but it's interesting because my mother
30:25 put the olive oil, glug, glug, glug.
30:27 She didn't, you know, didn't measure,
30:28 she just plugged it in.
30:30 And when I started realizing about the health benefits
30:33 of doing a little more natural and without the oil,
30:37 I've learned to do my vegetables in water.
30:40 I have a freshness, a crispness.
30:42 I also know that when you use the oil,
30:47 it just like, I said it weighed in things with too much oil.
30:51 But the olive oil flavor in some cooking is important
30:54 and so what I do is I added at the end.
30:57 Oh...
30:58 So I'm just going to add a little more water here.
31:00 Hear that sizzle.
31:01 Yeah, and we're just going to...
31:03 See and you just use your judgment when you're looking.
31:05 The Mexican and television coming to you is Melevision.
31:08 That's right.
31:09 So you can smell this delicious meal.
31:10 Don't you wish that they could smell this, right?
31:12 Yeah, well, in some channels, yes, of course, there you go.
31:15 That you can cook seeing it. Yes.
31:16 All right. It's delicious.
31:18 So if you see I've hydrated.
31:19 Oh, yes.
31:20 I've got this. So I'm actually going to stick them right in.
31:22 Hold down right there. Let's see that on camera.
31:24 Can you see it?
31:26 I want the people at home to make sure
31:27 they see how that soy curl is hydrated,
31:32 and it didn't take long at all.
31:34 No.
31:35 This is chicken, in the place of chicken, right?
31:38 Exactly.
31:39 Soy curl is a protein and it's a vegan soy protein.
31:43 You know you could use, actually,
31:45 a beef style seasoning and make this a more like
31:47 a beef fajita too.
31:48 You know what?
31:50 I am just ready to taste this, come on.
31:51 All right, we're working on it.
31:52 We're working.
31:55 All right, so I have this here and I just mix them in
31:58 with my vegetables
32:00 and then we have our everything put together.
32:05 And this will kind of also like
32:07 dry out the soy curls a little bit
32:11 because they're very moist,
32:12 because they've absorbed all that water
32:14 and this will kind of just give them
32:15 a little bit better texture
32:16 so that's why I put them right in the pan.
32:18 Right.
32:19 It looks great. It looks amazing.
32:20 It's so vibrant, right, the colors.
32:22 Like I said before, I love Mexico.
32:24 I love Mexican cooking.
32:25 Everything is so festive and colorful.
32:28 We need to add color to our life.
32:30 I love it when I'm in the kitchen
32:31 with Chef Carin because that means,
32:33 Carin, because that means I'm going to get to taste it
32:36 after the program.
32:37 That's right.
32:38 Delicious.
32:40 That's the blessing, right?
32:41 Yes. It's very nice.
32:42 Anyway.
32:44 So you don't want it to dry up too much.
32:45 No, we don't. We're going to...
32:46 And as far as the texture of the vegetable
32:48 is their personal preference.
32:49 Exactly, you could cook them a little longer.
32:51 I happen to like things with a little crunchy.
32:53 Do you want to bring me that bowl?
32:54 We're going to stick that right in there
32:56 and then we can assemble.
32:58 Thank you.
32:59 It's beautiful.
33:01 I have a friend who has this pattern
33:04 and his name is Bobby.
33:05 And he loves, he loves these bowls.
33:08 And so every time I tell him when I'm...
33:10 If I'm coming here and I have the bowls with me,
33:12 hey, I'm going to showcase the bowls.
33:14 So he likes the bowls.
33:16 Very nice.
33:17 That is beautiful.
33:19 And here's our thing.
33:20 Now, it's nice too because you can actually...
33:23 We have some condiments we can put with that here.
33:26 Yes, you got it right there.
33:27 And you got this so we can find a...
33:30 Put it so.
33:31 Now, we got some tortillas.
33:33 What I also did was I have some whole wheat tortillas,
33:35 and we just warm them and I, kind of, keep them moist.
33:38 I use a little paper towel to...
33:41 Yeah, I put a little wet paper towel in between them
33:44 after I warmed them up to keep them soft and pliable,
33:47 so that you can actually fold them over,
33:48 and make like the taco
33:50 or the fajita that you're doing.
33:51 So we're using some whole wheat sprouted ones,
33:54 and then we have some condiments
33:55 that we made our salsa, right?
33:57 So we have our salsa, you can make some guacamole,
33:58 and then some plant-based sour cream.
34:00 Guacamole, okay.
34:01 I have sour creams actually in the cookbook.
34:03 We didn't make it on the show today,
34:04 but it's in the cookbook.
34:06 Wonderful.
34:07 Okay, let's look at the extra fajitas,
34:09 so you're going to assemble?
34:10 Okay, you can.
34:11 Do you want me to assemble?
34:13 Sure.
34:14 You're our guest and our expert.
34:15 All right.
34:17 So we... If you haven't made a fajita,
34:18 you want you do as you want to taste.
34:19 Yeah, let's do that so you can see that.
34:22 And we're just gonna stick our vegetables and you can have...
34:26 Another thing, some people like mushrooms in here too,
34:28 so they like mushrooms.
34:30 What did you say out there?
34:31 I hear the people saying Idalia needs to have that.
34:33 You need to try this.
34:35 No, I'm just kidding.
34:37 We will after the program is over.
34:39 Yes, of course.
34:40 And then, you know, you can do this just like that
34:43 or you can pop it with some of these goodies
34:46 and this over here.
34:47 Now we're talking, come on now.
34:50 That salsa looks so great.
34:51 Oh, yeah, the salsa?
34:53 That was so easy, right?
34:55 Yes, there is vegan sour cream and you at home
34:59 can just find it.
35:01 That's another easy recipe in my cookbook.
35:03 Oh, wonderful.
35:04 The cookbook Plant-Based Made Simple.
35:07 Nice.
35:09 Well, look at that, Chef Carin.
35:11 Guacamole.
35:12 Nice, perfect.
35:14 And here we go and you can just fold that over and eat it.
35:18 There you go.
35:19 And there we go, it's our fajita fold.
35:21 Beautiful.
35:23 Well, while she's reading the recipe
35:25 and going for the rest of the program,
35:26 we're going to sit in the corner and eat that.
35:28 I'm just kidding.
35:29 Don't desert me in the kitchen.
35:30 No, I won't.
35:32 In your kitchen.
35:33 In our kitchen.
35:34 Well, we're ready for the next recipe.
35:36 And this coming recipe please, tell us what are we making?
35:39 Okay.
35:40 So our next recipe is going to be our cilantro lime rice.
36:01 Well, I have a one key word for you for this recipe.
36:06 This is the cilantro lime rice.
36:09 The word is Dexteronice.
36:11 That's right.
36:13 What did I say?
36:14 Dexteronice.
36:15 That's right. What does that mean?
36:17 What are you doing with that?
36:18 And why, right?
36:19 Yeah, where is the ingredient?
36:21 Where is the dexteronice?
36:22 Okay, well, we're going to start...
36:24 Our recipe starts with three cups of cooked rice
36:25 but there's a little trick to cooking rice,
36:27 especially when we're using whole grain rice.
36:29 We're using brown rice, and the reason why is
36:32 because we've got all that fiber,
36:33 all that nutrition.
36:35 You know what happens with whole grains,
36:36 when we have white rice or white flour like wheat?
36:39 What they do is they strip the husk.
36:41 They stripped the husk anyway,
36:42 but then they take the outer part,
36:44 which is the bran away and then they take the germ,
36:47 which is where all the nutrition is.
36:48 So we're losing the fiber and the bran,
36:50 we're losing the nutrition
36:51 and then we leave just the starchy part,
36:55 which is called the endosperm.
36:56 So what we want to do
36:58 is we want to get that whole rice.
37:00 And so if we're doing the whole grain,
37:02 sometimes we can find that
37:03 it takes a little longer to cook,
37:05 or it might be a little tougher,
37:06 but we have a little trick for that.
37:08 What I do is I take my rice in a regular saute pan
37:11 and I put it in the pan and I toast it dry
37:14 until it browns a little bit and pops a little bit.
37:16 You'll hear a little popping noise.
37:18 This is not only going to make your rice cook quicker,
37:21 but it's going to be softer and fluffier.
37:24 And the other thing is, which is exciting,
37:26 it's kind of easier.
37:27 Wait for it. It's easier to digest.
37:29 It's good for your health.
37:30 Exactly.
37:31 So for that reason, we dexteronice this rice.
37:33 You can see that this brown rice
37:34 is nice and fluffy.
37:36 So I'm going to stick that right in there,
37:38 and we're going to use a little lime
37:41 because this is a cilantro lime rice, right?
37:43 That's right.
37:44 We're going to add some lime juice, some salt.
37:48 Himalayan salt. Yes, and...
37:51 Oop, I'm gonna put the cilantro in next,
37:54 and then we'll have our optional ingredient.
37:57 I have a little olive oil there and I'm going to mix that in.
38:00 At the end, we talked about olive oil not cooking it.
38:03 So you know, the flavor of olive oil is again a good...
38:06 is a delicious flavor and so sometimes I like that
38:08 little bit of moisture.
38:10 And so I'm going to mix this all in.
38:11 That looks so good.
38:13 And I'm going to add... I'm going to add oil,
38:16 you don't have to but I like a little bit,
38:18 just a little bit in that flavor.
38:19 I told you I was Italian so olive oil.
38:22 You don't like to miss out on the olive oil.
38:23 There is very good quality of olive oil,
38:26 which is the cold pressed, right?
38:27 Extra virgin cold pressed.
38:29 Yes, and make sure that container
38:30 is in a dark container, right, dark glass.
38:32 Exactly.
38:34 You know the reason why
38:35 the cold pressed is because they...
38:36 You know they press olives like tons of time,
38:39 30/40 times to get as much oil as they can out of it.
38:42 And so the first press is the most pure,
38:45 delicious olive oil with the best vitamins.
38:47 Do you know the enzymes haven't broken down
38:49 and so we're getting the best quality,
38:51 and the best nutrition.
38:53 Excellent. All right.
38:54 And here we go.
38:55 We're going to just put that in there,
38:57 and this is our nice side dish.
38:59 Yes, nice side dish.
39:01 Got that lime juice in.
39:03 Yes, and its flavors again.
39:05 Just keeping with the theme, you want to, kind of,
39:08 when you're putting this meal together.
39:10 I, kind of, made a whole menu.
39:11 So that you had a whole meal, and that you're getting all,
39:15 you're hitting all the high notes
39:17 of Mexican cuisine, right?
39:18 That's right.
39:20 Plus nowadays, we're doing a lot of food prep,
39:21 so this is something you can prepare for your family,
39:25 you know, before you go to work on,
39:27 you know, prepare for the week.
39:29 So that is a great option.
39:31 All right.
39:33 So that was the cilantro lime brown rice.
39:36 And now, we're going to go to the next recipe.
39:39 What is it? What are we making?
39:40 Okay.
39:42 So our next recipe is refried beans.
40:17 That's right.
40:18 Those are the ingredients for the refried beans.
40:20 Yes, don't be alarmed.
40:22 I know we say we're not going to fry food and all,
40:24 we're not going to use the oil,
40:26 but there's one key ingredient
40:27 that we're going to use and that is... Water.
40:29 Excellent.
40:31 In fact, we're going to get those started now.
40:32 Let's get these onions right in.
40:34 I love to hear that, the sizzle.
40:36 Yes.
40:37 Get those and I'm going to add that water.
40:40 And we're just going to get this started a little bit.
40:43 I mean, put the whole water thing in there.
40:44 Nice.
40:45 And we're just going to soften them.
40:47 And that's really what we're doing
40:48 is just getting because it's going to...
40:50 Get the onion soft.
40:51 Get them nice and soft there.
40:52 Okay. Very good.
40:54 And what I'll do is I'm going to mix our beans now.
40:55 I took these beans and these were whole beans.
40:58 I put them in the food processor.
40:59 I happen to like my refried beans really mushy
41:02 and mashed up, but some people like them a little chunky,
41:05 so I did it halfway.
41:06 That's exactly how I make mine at home.
41:08 Oh, there you go.
41:10 So I'm going to just take this...
41:11 I want to stick this in a bowl real quick
41:12 because I want to add in our seasonings.
41:14 Oh, I see.
41:15 Okay, so these are already pre-cooked beans, nice.
41:18 Yes, these are pre-cooked.
41:19 And then I can mash them up even a little more in the pan.
41:22 But I'm going to take the taco seasoning
41:24 that we have that we made.
41:25 Excellent.
41:26 See, it's multipurpose taco seasoning.
41:28 Yes, I've seen that.
41:29 And we're not putting a ton in there,
41:31 but we're going to add some salt.
41:34 Then let me get this out.
41:36 Yes.
41:37 And we're going to mix that up.
41:39 Actually, you can let... You may mix that up all.
41:41 Keep an eye on it gently.
41:43 Gladly, expert made it work, Chef Carin.
41:46 Yes.
41:48 This is really nice because it's a recipe
41:51 that you can use
41:52 with different ingredients, many ingredients.
41:55 The taco seasoning that we're using in these beans.
41:58 All right, so is that mixed enough?
42:00 Sure, good, that's fine
42:01 because we're going to mix it also in the pan.
42:02 Okay.
42:04 So we're going to take that,
42:05 and once now that our onions are kind of soft in here,
42:07 so we're going to get these in.
42:08 Let me give, so I can use them.
42:10 And we're going to just put that right in our pan here.
42:16 We're going to let these beans heat up.
42:20 And I can actually have the multipurpose
42:22 potato masher in our...
42:25 That's right.
42:27 Here.
42:28 That's right.
42:29 Let's mash it up.
42:31 I use this for tofu.
42:32 I use this for mashed potatoes.
42:33 I use it for beans.
42:35 I use it for many, many things.
42:36 Very good.
42:37 It's one of those things that
42:39 you really can get a lot of use out of.
42:40 And so, you can just mash that up a little bit, and...
42:44 While you're mashing up, I'm cleaning up.
42:46 There you go.
42:48 That's a rule at our house, one cooks and one cleans.
42:51 And Ron always has me cook
42:53 so guess who does a lot of the cleaning?
42:55 Now, I'm trying to get these onions stirred in,
42:57 and I'm just going to...
42:59 I'm heating these beans,
43:00 but remember I'm not using any oil.
43:02 But I am going to get, I can get a light nice little,
43:05 warmth and crispiness actually even on the bottom a little bit
43:09 like a refried bean without even using any oil.
43:13 Now, if you like that again the taste of the oil,
43:16 as an option you can add a little oil,
43:18 but only add it at the end.
43:20 That's right because we're not going to fry this,
43:22 but we sometimes like that texture,
43:24 you know or that flavor.
43:26 So you can do that but if you want it oil free
43:28 and you want it that way...
43:29 That looks marvelous. I love the way those look.
43:31 It's so easy, you know.
43:34 Like I said, simple, simple is my middle name.
43:36 Simple, that's right.
43:37 No, simple is the name of your cookbook,
43:40 Plant-Based Made Simple.
43:44 Very good, so we have the refried beans ready to go.
43:47 And we are...
43:48 Almost ready, I'm going to add a little more water.
43:50 Adding a little bit.
43:51 Just. Okay, we're going to put it all.
43:54 It'll absorb, but I don't, I like it,
43:56 I don't like my beans a little softer
43:58 but you use your judgment as you like.
44:03 So we present to you the idea and you will...
44:06 It's like a laboratory.
44:11 Seriously, that's a great way to say it.
44:13 Okay, so we're going to...
44:15 See and there's my beans, they're done.
44:17 And I'm going to just turn this off and then that's
44:19 when I will add my little bit of oil.
44:21 When the food is done.
44:23 And that is the cold pressed olive oil.
44:24 Olive oil.
44:26 I want to tell you though something about oil
44:27 really quick that I didn't mention before.
44:29 A lot of times people say, "Oh,
44:32 but do you use oil in like baked items
44:34 and things like that?"
44:35 Because they'll say, "Oh you said not to heat the oil."
44:37 The interesting thing is if you use the oil
44:39 in something like a loaf of bread or a cake
44:41 or cookie, right?
44:42 You're using the oil.
44:44 Do you know the moisture of the other foods
44:45 when we keep the oil from,
44:47 you know, going to the smoke point.
44:49 Toxic. Oh, wow.
44:50 Yeah, so that, so it will never get,
44:52 they'll never reach out, so it won't molecularly change
44:54 and it won't have that carcinogen effect.
44:57 So, just so you know.
44:59 So it will not molecularly, did I...
45:02 Molecularly change.
45:03 So it won't become a carcinogen.
45:05 How is that?
45:07 Excellent!
45:08 So you can use it when you're baking in things,
45:10 like you know, sometimes we oil our pan.
45:12 The moisture of that food
45:13 should keep the temperature down enough.
45:15 Excellent.
45:16 But when we have our beans,
45:17 we can stick that right in a little serving bowl here.
45:20 Let me just do it this way.
45:22 Yeah, all right. Go ahead.
45:24 Very nice, so as you can see she's pouring out
45:27 those refried beans with the lime,
45:31 cilantro lime rice.
45:33 Also on the fajita, soy curl fajita we made, salsas.
45:38 Oh, we are in for a treat.
45:40 You're going to surprise your family
45:42 when they come home today.
45:45 One day, try to make these recipes at home.
45:48 We're going to share the contact information
45:50 for our guest Chef Carin later on in the program,
45:53 but we're going to go to our last recipe.
45:55 Yes, I said the last one sadly.
45:57 This hour has gone by too fast.
45:59 How quick, right?
46:00 Yes, but we're going to share the recipe
46:02 for the famous Mexican horchata.
46:05 What do we need?
46:32 Well, this is a very popular drink
46:34 in Mexico, the horchata.
46:36 But it's also famous in Central America
46:40 and South America.
46:42 These are drinks that I was not familiar with growing up,
46:45 but it's great to have this option
46:48 because at the restaurants,
46:49 it's got the dairy, the sugars and et cetera.
46:53 So we're going to present to you
46:55 a healthier, a healthy alternative.
46:58 Now, I want to tell you
46:59 that we should not eat and drink, right?
47:01 No, actually, you don't want to mess up your digestion
47:04 by diluting those acids.
47:06 But this is great to have, I almost...
47:08 because it has a sweetness to it,
47:10 I like it like a dessert almost.
47:11 So we can have it, you know, we can settle
47:13 a little bit after our meal and maybe enjoy that.
47:15 Or even before.
47:16 Sure, why not.
47:18 So we want to wait at least an hour or half hour?
47:20 It's half hour before or an hour after?
47:22 An hour after.
47:23 Very good, thank you so much.
47:24 You're welcome.
47:26 All right, take it away.
47:27 Okay, so we're going to start again with our brown rice.
47:29 So we're going to use that,
47:30 you know, we got a lot of good fiber in there.
47:33 That's right.
47:35 So here we go.
47:36 Okay, let's do that.
47:38 And we have some water.
47:39 Okay.
47:40 You can use five cups of water.
47:42 Five cups of water.
47:44 It seems I'm spilling it a little bit, right quick.
47:47 So at this point, what do we do?
47:50 Keep dumping that?
47:51 We usually pour everything in the blender. Okay.
47:52 Everything in the blender.
47:54 So we also have some coconut sugar.
47:57 Now, I'm using coconut sugar first of all,
47:59 because it's tropical, right?
48:01 It's from the coconut palm, it's like the sap of the palm,
48:03 and it's really like one of the least processed sugars.
48:07 It's a little less sweet than regular sugar.
48:09 It's probably one of the healthy alternatives.
48:11 Nice.
48:12 But if you don't want to use this,
48:13 you can also use dates too.
48:15 Oh, wonderful.
48:16 Put some dates in there, and dates are again high fiber
48:17 and very sweet and a little bit lower glycemic
48:21 than other type of sugars.
48:22 Just make sure it's seeded dates, okay?
48:24 I've seen that happen before.
48:26 If you don't take the pit out of there,
48:27 it sounds like popcorn.
48:29 And it doesn't, it does not grind up
48:30 you will break a tooth.
48:32 So we don't want that to happen.
48:33 I'm using some coriander
48:36 and I'm going to use a little bit
48:37 of cardamom as well.
48:39 This is going to be in place of cinnamon
48:41 because cinnamon is actually a spice
48:43 and we talked about the chilies.
48:44 Well, cinnamon also too has a,
48:47 an adverse effect on our stomach lining.
48:50 So we're going to put that, wait, we're not done yet.
48:52 Oh, here we are.
48:53 The students wants to go ahead of the teacher.
48:55 That's okay.
48:56 And our last thing, I'm using some coconut milk.
48:58 Oh, coconut milk.
49:00 But you could use any plant-based milk you choose.
49:02 Ready...
49:03 Okay, we're going to blend.
49:04 Ready, teacher?
49:06 We're going to blend.
49:07 You can take care of that for me
49:09 because you're over there.
49:10 Yes. Look at this here, ready to go.
49:11 Let's make some noise.
49:13 That's right.
49:43 Alrighty.
49:45 All right, now we're going to strain this
49:46 because sometimes the brown rice will,
49:48 you know, have a little bit of sediment in there.
49:50 So I'm kind of...
49:52 Do you want to pour it? I will, sure.
49:53 Put it through the strainer there
49:54 and I use a spoon to kind of work that through.
49:57 Okay.
49:58 I'm going to pour it out so you guys will...
50:01 I'll try not to spill.
50:02 You're good.
50:08 Do I keep pouring or...
50:09 Oh, yeah, I'm just going to go like this.
50:10 I want to do that kind of.
50:12 Let's see, I'll let that go for a minute
50:14 and we'll just see.
50:15 Sometimes we have a little bit of that rice.
50:17 This is a pretty thin, I mean, very fine strainer there.
50:21 So this is what you do.
50:25 Just in case you don't want it lumpy but it's cooked,
50:28 so that's not like.
50:30 It just makes it a little more...
50:32 That's right, a little more, you know, smooth.
50:36 So they usually just pack up
50:38 the ice and drink it like that instead how...
50:41 Yes, you can pour...
50:42 We're gonna pour this over ice.
50:43 Oh, okay.
50:45 Very good.
50:46 So you already know,
50:48 this is our horchata as we mentioned.
50:53 We're going to come back and we're going to share
50:55 the recipes that we prepared.
50:58 But first we're going to go
