Well, we want to welcome you
back. And we're going to go to
00:00:01.40\00:00:04.66
the next recipe which is a
Sautéed Mock Ackee. It takes
00:00:04.66\00:00:08.43
Mock Ackee. Now, believe it or
not Ackee is one of those foods
00:00:28.63\00:00:32.76
that it's not very readily
found in the United States.
00:00:32.76\00:00:36.93
I understand you can
actually buy it in a can at
00:00:36.93\00:00:38.60
some of the, you know,
00:00:38.60\00:00:40.00
supermarkets that have the
ethnic foods. And so, I was
00:00:40.00\00:00:44.46
looking at the information
on Ackee, I was asking some
00:00:44.46\00:00:47.23
questions. While I was studying,
guess what I discovered?
00:00:47.23\00:00:50.53
I discovered it looks like
scrambled eggs. Now, you know
00:00:50.53\00:00:54.03
what I mean that was like.
Ok. You're thinking tofu. That's
00:00:54.03\00:00:57.56
right. ok. I knew it. Now,
already, Curtis I want you to go
00:00:57.56\00:01:01.43
ahead and put the onions in. Ok.
Let's get that sautéed and you
00:01:01.43\00:01:05.26
know, I got just, I could
not believe that. It was just
00:01:05.26\00:01:11.10
incredible. All right. Now,
what is ackee? I mean, is it a
00:01:11.10\00:01:15.83
vegetable? it's a fruit? it's
a fruit. ok. Go ahead and just
00:01:15.83\00:01:21.00
stir up a little bit. Ackee is
a fruit. It grows there, and let
00:01:21.00\00:01:26.16
me tell you right now: when it's
growing, it has a state, they
00:01:26.16\00:01:30.10
call it ripened state. ok.
When that bud gets ready to open
00:01:30.10\00:01:34.30
like a bulb, the yellow color
comes out of it. And then you
00:01:34.30\00:01:38.43
can cook it like a scrambled egg
ok. But, if you try to ripen it
00:01:38.43\00:01:43.53
ahead of time, not naturally,
on its own, it becomes very
00:01:43.53\00:01:46.50
toxic. Oh! And you cannot eat
it. Ok? So, you need to eat it
00:01:46.50\00:01:52.20
before gets too ripen. ok. So,
I'm going to just go ahead on
00:01:52.20\00:01:56.43
and take the tomato, or you're
going to take the tomato, Curtis
00:01:56.43\00:02:00.63
why don't you take the
tomato and begin chopping it up.
00:02:00.63\00:02:02.70
Meanwhile, because I said that
matched that of scrambled egg,
00:02:02.70\00:02:06.20
I'm just going
to just take my tofu
00:02:06.20\00:02:09.30
and we're going to
show them a little bit what
00:02:09.30\00:02:12.06
that looks like, just to
make it look like scrambled egg.
00:02:12.06\00:02:17.73
Let's put it on in. I know you
said to yourself that does not
00:02:17.73\00:02:22.30
look like scrambled eggs to
me. We're going to fix this up.
00:02:22.30\00:02:26.60
So it can look like scrambled
egg. How about that Curtis?
00:02:26.60\00:02:31.03
All right. We put tomatoes
together why don't you show them
00:02:31.03\00:02:34.53
when you get finished. I guess
I just hold on for half sec.
00:02:34.53\00:02:38.30
Tofu, or what? Show them
the tofu container for us.
00:02:38.30\00:02:41.66
So they can see what that looks
like. Ok. This is the Mori Nu
00:02:41.66\00:02:45.83
tofu container and this is the
firm. There are several other
00:02:45.83\00:02:49.76
types, soft and extra firm.
This is the firm Mori Nu tofu
00:02:49.76\00:02:53.63
silken tofu and that's
will be using now. This will be
00:02:53.63\00:02:57.23
purchased at any major grocery
store. That's right, throughout
00:02:57.23\00:02:59.90
the nation. yes. And matches
up very well, looking just like
00:02:59.90\00:03:02.53
ackee. Now I've also got
turmeric and I've also got a
00:03:02.53\00:03:05.83
little pinch of cayenne, because
the turmeric is very, very
00:03:05.83\00:03:08.66
necessary to turn this into
a yellow kind of a color, ok?
00:03:08.66\00:03:10.56
So we're going to
put that in next. Ok.
00:03:10.56\00:03:12.53
I am finished with the
tomatoes. Ok Let me get
00:03:12.53\00:03:15.96
all my turmeric out. all right.
I know this one thing too. They
00:03:15.96\00:03:19.90
like things that are hot. Lots
of cayenne pepper, of course
00:03:19.90\00:03:22.86
their cayenne is a little bit
even stronger than the one we
00:03:22.86\00:03:25.80
actually use, Curtis. Now,
their ackee there, the fruit,
00:03:25.80\00:03:29.63
it's the same type of texture?
Same texture. It's just like
00:03:29.63\00:03:33.20
scrambled egg. Now, I thought
about the recipes I already have
00:03:33.20\00:03:36.43
I have scrambled tofu in my
cookbook, so I figured, wait a
00:03:36.43\00:03:39.60
minute, I can do that. It looks
just like this, ok? and what you
00:03:39.60\00:03:43.93
are going to do, you're gonna go
ahead on and put those tomatoes
00:03:43.93\00:03:46.86
in with that. This is some kind
of delicious, ok? Put that in,
00:03:46.86\00:03:50.10
I'll find that out at the end
of the program. Yes, you will.
00:03:50.10\00:03:53.10
You will feed me all this.
Ok. And then of course we have
00:03:53.10\00:03:56.10
the chives also, that goes along
with this. It's ready to go in
00:03:56.10\00:03:58.86
now? we're going to just hold on
for one second. ok. let me just
00:03:58.86\00:04:02.30
stir this around, ok and we're
going to put the chives in at
00:04:02.30\00:04:05.43
the end not just this minute,
because I want this to simmer
00:04:05.43\00:04:08.53
for a few minutes. I'm going
to put the top on it. And what's
00:04:08.53\00:04:11.10
going to happen we're going
to go away and when we come back
00:04:11.10\00:04:13.60
you're going to get the
opportunity to see everything
00:04:13.60\00:04:17.66
we have fixed for some
serious Jamaica cuisine cooking.
00:04:17.66\00:04:21.16
Stay by!
