Maybe $0.90 or so. It doesn't cost that 02:31 much and on top of the you can also buy the dry 02:35 like I said before you can buy the dry black bean 02:38 and cook them in your crock pot. Okay. And you get 02:40 the same thing, oh! You smell that, have mercy, 02:42 mercy. Okay, why don't you get that plastic off 02:45 of there for me, honey. I am going to go ahead 02:47 and put the orange juice in, that's 2/3rd cups of 02:51 orange juice. Now how do you, 02:52 what you look for when you're purchasing 02:55 the plantain? Any particulars. 02:58 You want to make sure that they're already yellow, 03:00 I mean if you're going to do this particular 03:01 they need to be yellow, okay. Alright. 03:03 This is going to go ahead and stir for a few minutes, 03:04 put that cilantro and so we put that lid on. 03:06 Okay. And then put a plantain, 03:08 you want to make sure that they, like I said, 03:10 yellowish color, yellow. More yellow the more sugar. 03:13 And it starts getting real dark, 03:15 the skin itself it starts getting that black color, 03:17 it's even more sugar in it, you know we're going 03:19 to be talking on our show as we continue in 03:21 this area of diabetes. We're going to be talking 03:23 about the fiber. The importance of fiber 03:26 and the natural sugars, that are actually 03:28 occurring in the foods. So you go ahead 03:30 and put those plantains in. Okay, So you are just going 03:34 to brown those on both sides Oh! On both sides, 03:36 okay, oops! Oops! Oops! one jumped in there. 03:42 And you're gonna put the plantain in with the black 03:45 bean after the... No, no, no at the end of the show 03:47 you're gonna see these two in two separate dishes.. 03:49 Oh! Two separated dishes. What a combination 03:51 of how they both can look good as a trio. 03:54 There's a third item coming in as well 03:57 Oh! I see, okay. Now, we're just going to brown 04:02 them like I said on each side, let's check on... 04:04 Want to go ahead on I see the black beans are doing 04:06 well, and you got that lime why don't you go ahead 04:10 on and put the lime in. It's ready. 04:12 Wow! It's going to be a good combination, 04:16 orange juice and lime juice together. 04:17 Got quite a bit of it.

We got few minutes, Okay 04:42 So what we're gonna do, I don't want all the juice 04:45 to go out of this because I want a little bit 04:46 to be left over but what's going to happen is, 04:49 it's going to cook down I guess about a good maybe 04:53 10 minutes or so. You're gonna cook it, 04:55 make sure you keep it on simmer and then while 04:57 that's going on, let's just see what happening 04:59 to our plantains over here. Oh! It turned that. 05:02 As a pretty golden color, now you used canola oil. 05:05 No, no I use olive oil. Oh! Olive 05:06 because that's the flavor. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. 05:09 And you can use canola also as well, okay, on this. 05:14 Every thing is looking good and we're gonna be like 05:17 I said before we are going to be talking about the importance 05:20 of fiber, the importance of natural sugars, 05:23 the importance of which we're gonna get from 05:25 a different kingdom as you going to see that 05:27 when we get to the next part of our program 05:28 which is the continuation where we've left off. 05:31 How about that?

That plantain. 05:56 The more natural sugar comes out. 05:59 It will be nice and sweet, you don't have to add 06:00 anything else to it. 06:01 If you have, people say sometime me to 06:03 what about the cholesterol issue. 06:05 I said them you can spray your pan, 06:07 just spray your pan and you can still do the 06:08 exact same thing with the cooking spray. 06:10 Okay.
