00:01 If you've just joined us on Cook:30 for Kids,
00:03 we are having such a great time in the kitchen. 00:05 We have Tony and Lachlan and Lily from Illinois, 00:09 and what is on the menu today, guys? 00:11 We have vegetable wraps 00:13 with crispy tempeh and classic hummus. 00:16 And for the dessert, 00:18 we have avocado chocolate mousse. 00:21 And so far, it's looking really good. 00:24 Excellent. 00:25 Chocolate mousse, it's chocolate mousse 00:26 but very close. 00:28 A lot of restaurants, they have chocolate mousse, 00:30 and they actually call it chocolate mouse. 00:33 He is the mustache guy, he has a chocolate mustache. 00:36 Excellent. 00:38 Make sure you wash your hands after you touch your mouth. 00:39 It's great. 00:41 So look at that, it's ready to go. 00:42 We'll give a little bit of a shuffle 00:44 and we'll keep that warm in the pan. 00:45 So we got all the vegetables done. 00:47 There is nothing else left, so that's great. 00:49 So we got two things to make now. 00:50 You want to get those in the rubbish, 00:52 that would be great. 00:53 So we're going to make 00:55 the chocolate mousse or the mousse. 00:57 So what we're going to do... 00:59 And this is really easy. We are gonna use avocado. 01:01 Now you're probably thinking, 01:03 what is avocado doing in a sweet dish? 01:06 There is no way I'm going to eat that. 01:07 But trust me, this is really delicious. 01:09 Avocado has got a really lovely creamy texture. 01:12 So, Lily, if you could kind of extract 01:14 the avocado from this, 01:16 and I will get the hard bit underway. 01:18 So just take the skin off and put the avocado 01:22 in the blender here. 01:23 Okay. 01:25 Just peel it? Just peel it off. Yep. 01:27 Oops, I've did it twice here. 01:29 And if, Tony, you can do the other one, 01:30 that would be great. 01:32 Just get rid of the skin, the stone. 01:34 So should I just put it in? Just put it straight in. 01:37 So we are going to add lots of lovely ingredients 01:39 to make this. 01:40 So we're going to add some carob powder. 01:42 And carob powder is kind of like cocoa powder. 01:45 There is no caffeine in 01:46 and it's much, much healthier for you. 01:48 So we're going to add some of this. 01:49 So, Lachlan, if you can add 01:51 quarter of a cup of carob powder? 01:52 Okay. 01:53 So just dip that in there and try and get most of it 01:55 in the blender. 01:56 Should we put this avocado in? Yep. 01:58 Everything in, except for the skins, of course. 01:59 Yep. 02:01 What is...? Sorry? 02:02 What is carob powder made of? 02:04 It comes from carob pod, 02:05 it's kind of grown similar to chocolate pod 02:07 except it's a different kind of a tree, 02:09 I guess. 02:11 So it's great. 02:12 Kind of looks like cocoa powder. 02:14 It looks very similar. 02:16 So I'm going to add half cup of almond milk. 02:19 So there is a half cup. 02:21 You're close so you can add that. 02:23 And we're going to add three tablespoons of honey. 02:26 You could use date puree 02:28 or agave or something like that. 02:29 So I would just add three tablespoons in here. 02:32 One, two, three. Oops. 02:35 We're also just going to add just a little pinch of salt 02:38 just to kind of, you won't even taste it, 02:40 but a little pinch of salt just kind of rounds off 02:42 the avocado in a nice way. 02:44 But that is all our ingredients 02:46 and all we're going to do now is blend. 02:47 So, Lachlan, if you want to push 02:48 the go button, the high button. 02:50 Ready, set, go. Which one? 02:52 No, the high button. 02:53 Oh. Yeah, go. 02:54 Awesome folks. They'll blend away nicely. 03:00 Might need a little more water. Give it a few seconds. 03:03 Lift up the lid here. 03:06 Whoa! 03:09 Put some water, stick it on. 03:12 Let's stop it. 03:14 Let's give it a little bit of a stir, 03:15 sometimes the blender stalls, 03:17 so we're just going to give it a little bit of a stir. 03:18 There is a little bit of air gap at the bottom 03:20 so letting bit more water 03:22 and a bit of a stir is a good way to fix this. 03:23 So put it on again. Now it should be away. 03:27 Here we go, look at that. 03:29 Looking delicious. 03:31 So we're going to use these things here. 03:37 I'm going to stir the mousse. 03:43 It should be done there, you can turn it off. 03:46 Okay, let's get it out. 03:48 That sort of looks like chocolate pudding. 03:50 Exactly. Well, it's a chocolate mousse. 03:51 So you guys want to try it? Yes, definitely. 03:54 Take your spoons there and have a little try 03:57 and let me know what you think. 04:00 Does it taste amazing? Umm. 04:04 That is definitely amazing. 04:06 And would you know avocado is in that? 04:08 No. Exactly. 04:09 So if you go to somebody who doesn't like avocado, 04:11 then just don't tell them, they won't even know. 04:13 So we're just going to... 04:14 Lily, if you can just spoon that into these dishes. 04:15 Okay. 04:17 So try and get it evenly among them 04:18 and try to get most of it in the middle 04:19 and kind of not down the sides. 04:21 So if you can spread into there, 04:23 that would be great. 04:24 I'm also gonna add some frozen cherries on top. 04:27 So ideally it would be nice to use fresh cherries, 04:30 but you can get really nice frozen cherries. 04:31 So add those on top so, Lachlan, when Lily finishes it, 04:34 you can put about three on top. 04:36 We need to be adding large, 04:37 large pieces of things to something like this 04:40 but you only want to add odd numbers 04:43 like three or five or seven. 04:46 Generally even numbers like two or four generally 04:47 don't look good. 04:48 Don't know why, it just kind of happens. 04:50 Wait until she has finished then 04:51 you could put it on as well. 04:53 That's looking very delicious. 04:57 Eat it if you want. 04:58 This is the joy of cooking in the kitchen, 05:00 you can eat it. 05:01 You guys, make sure you clean your hands 05:02 before you go anywhere else with stuff. 05:04 Oh, that's lovely. 05:05 And when you're putting stuff in, 05:06 what Lily is doing which is great, 05:08 is let it fall naturally, don't pat it, 05:09 just let it fall naturally. 05:11 Okay. 05:12 So give it a good dip in there, so get as much out as you can. 05:14 So the next recipe we need to do, 05:16 we are going to make our own hummus. 05:17 I've got another blender here which is very handy. 05:19 We're going to do a quick wash. 05:21 We're going to make our own hummus. 05:22 You can buy hummus in the supermarket 05:24 but it tastes 10 times better 05:25 when you make your own fresh hummus. 05:27 Do you know what a hummus is? I never tried it. 05:29 So hummus is like a dip that's made of chickpeas 05:32 or garbanzo beans, so it's really very nice. 05:34 So you got a mouthful there, Lachlan? 05:36 Yeah. It's very good. Excellent. 05:38 Cherries and chocolate go together well. 05:41 So we're going to start by adding some chickpeas 05:43 or garbanzo beans. 05:44 So, Tony, if you can open that with a can opener. 05:47 Here's one here. 05:48 You know how to use a can opener? 05:50 Oh, give it a go. 05:51 Put it here, see if you can work it out. 05:52 Bit of an IQ test. Umm. 05:56 I'll give you a clue. 05:58 Oh, not bad. 06:00 So basically open it up like this 06:03 and then just do down like that. 06:04 So hold that really tight and then turn the handle. 06:08 Look at that, a professional can opener. 06:11 It's great. 06:12 So the ingredients for hummus is basically five ingredients, 06:16 so the number one ingredient is chickpeas or garbanzo beans. 06:19 We're also gonna add 06:21 some four tablespoons of tahini, 06:23 which is sesame seed paste, 06:24 and it's just sesame seeds that have been ground up. 06:27 So get that in there. That should be nearly enough. 06:31 We're also gonna add some lemon juice. 06:32 So, Lachlan, I'll get you in charge 06:33 of the lemon juice. 06:35 You can put those cherries down. 06:36 And we're going to add two lemons. 06:40 So if you can squeeze these up with all your might, 06:43 then when you're squeezing them in, 06:44 I want you to squeeze them 06:45 through your finger to catch the pips, okay? 06:47 Okay. Into this hummus jar there. 06:50 I'm just going to get another spoon 06:51 because we didn't get quite enough tahini out of this, 06:53 it's nearly finished. 06:55 So we'll just put in some as well. 06:57 So you can drain the water out of it in this thing, 07:00 so just tip it out there. 07:04 How is that chocolate going there, Lily? 07:06 Is all out? Pretty good. 07:07 Almost. Keep going. 07:08 I think there is some more in there. 07:10 Yep. 07:11 So is a chickpea a bean or a nut? 07:13 It is actually more of a bean. It's kind of like a bean. 07:15 They're actually called, garbanzo bean is what 07:17 they are called as well. 07:18 Okay. So put those in there. 07:20 I'll give you a hand here with this. 07:23 Use all your strength, all that rugby strength. 07:25 That's awesome. So fire those in there, Tony. 07:27 Just gonna add some. 07:29 Yep, put it straight in the blender, 07:30 the chickpeas. Gonna add some water. 07:33 All of them? Sorry? 07:34 All of them? All of them, yep, definitely. 07:37 I'm going to add half a teaspoon of salt. 07:39 So this is your basic kind of hummus recipe 07:41 and it kind of is very versatile. 07:44 I'm also going to add some coriander, 07:48 or just coriander powder. 07:50 It is here somewhere. 07:52 And this coriander powder 07:53 will just add a little bit of extra flavor as well. 07:56 So it's probably right about half a teaspoon 07:58 coming out there. 08:00 And that's everything in there. 08:01 It's very hard. Yep, it's good that we're done. 08:04 So let's get it blending. Excellent. 08:07 And it's going high. 08:09 And we have made our own hummus, 08:10 look at that. 08:12 You may need to add a little bit 08:13 more water sometime 08:14 but I think we've got the right balance. 08:17 While it's just going around, just a little bit more. 08:19 So, Lachlan, got to wash your hands 08:21 with those cherries on that. 08:23 You got lemon juice here. 08:26 Just give this a little bit of a stir. 08:28 Okay. 08:29 And this will be right. Just need here. 08:31 Yeah, bubble at the bottom unblocked. 08:33 So, Lachlan, if you can put the cherries on the dessert. 08:36 Yes. 08:37 There we have our very own homemade hummus, 08:41 look at that. 08:43 So we're just gonna put this in here 08:45 into this bowl for hummus. 08:47 We're going to serve along side with it. 08:48 Do you think I can try it? Yeah, go for it. 08:50 Okay. 08:51 Put a spoon in and tell me what you think. 08:54 Is it good? Hmm. 08:56 It's really good. Homemade hummus is awesome. 08:58 So the hummus, we got the crispy tempeh here. 09:01 These vegetables are going to have 09:02 some whole meal tortillas 09:04 and we got the dessert and our meal is ready to serve. |
