We're going to use protein sources like 00:00:38.87\00:00:41.57 nuts, beans and lentils. Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice 00:00:41.60\00:00:47.38 and tie it altogether with produce, frozen vegetables 00:00:47.41\00:00:50.95 and lots of international herbs spices and flavors. 00:00:50.98\00:00:54.75 And the best part about Cook 30 food is you do not have to spend 00:00:54.78\00:00:59.15 hours slaving away in the kitchen to make it. 00:00:59.19\00:01:02.06 In the next 30 minutes I'm going to show you a delicious 00:01:02.09\00:01:05.06 meal that you can cook for your family that is healthy and they 00:01:05.09\00:01:08.86 will love it. Today on Cook 30 we are cooking a delicious meal 00:01:08.90\00:01:13.87 in 30 minutes. We have a Hungarian Goulash with Tofu 00:01:13.90\00:01:17.87 and we're serving this over lemon infused quinoa 00:01:17.91\00:01:22.11 We have an amazing sweet chili roast vegetable salad 00:01:22.14\00:01:26.21 and a fresh Mexican salad and to finish it off, 00:01:26.25\00:01:29.98 we have a banana date smoothie. 00:01:30.02\00:01:32.65 Ok to make meals in a hurry you've got to make sure your 00:01:32.69\00:01:35.39 kitchen is well set up. We've got the jug on, water boiled 00:01:35.42\00:01:39.53 oven's on at 350 Fahrenheit, that's round about 180 Celsius 00:01:39.56\00:01:44.53 Pot's on the stove hot, ready to go. Clear work space 00:01:44.57\00:01:49.30 Sharp knife, chopping board and the pantry and fridge 00:01:49.34\00:01:53.98 loaded with all the healthy and great ingredients 00:01:54.01\00:01:56.54 to make the meal. So first job off is roast vegetable salad. 00:01:56.58\00:02:01.55 And we're going to start with some roast vegetables. 00:02:01.58\00:02:05.99 I'm going to start with the hard ones first. We've got some 00:02:06.02\00:02:08.42 bassinet pumpkin and some sweet potato. Good fast way to use 00:02:08.46\00:02:14.00 bassinet is cut it in half. This in here is the seeds so just put 00:02:14.03\00:02:18.50 that away and use for something else. And we're just gonna chop 00:02:18.53\00:02:20.97 this end, it doesn't have the seeds. The skin is really soft 00:02:21.00\00:02:24.57 and beautiful when cooked. So we're going to keep that 00:02:24.61\00:02:26.68 and we're just going to chop it up into cubes. 00:02:26.71\00:02:32.48 Probably about an inch or two centimeters wide. 00:02:32.51\00:02:35.78 This pumpkin or butternut is delicious when roasted all the 00:02:40.46\00:02:44.09 the beautiful, sweet flavors come out of it. 00:02:44.13\00:02:46.59 Put them on a roasting tray 00:02:51.07\00:02:52.63 And now some sweet potato or kumar. You can choose whatever 00:02:55.00\00:02:58.34 color you want or combine some different colors 00:02:58.37\00:03:01.51 Again, just some cubes. Similar sizes. 00:03:05.91\00:03:09.95 This is one of the original sellers I put out in my Cafe 00:03:12.99\00:03:16.79 when I first started round about 10 years ago. 00:03:16.83\00:03:18.69 And it very quickly became one of the more popular salads 00:03:18.73\00:03:22.83 Again, a good sharp knife is good here. And again make sure 00:03:22.86\00:03:28.30 you're rocking the knife. We're not going down without rocking 00:03:28.34\00:03:31.67 to get the most use of the blade. 00:03:31.71\00:03:34.94 Here we go. Any bigger than that and they take too long to roast 00:03:34.98\00:03:38.11 It should comfortably become nice and soft and around about 00:03:38.15\00:03:41.62 probably 10-20 minutes. Just going to do a drizzle of oil 00:03:41.65\00:03:46.32 and I'm sure to salt my things when they're being cooked 00:03:46.35\00:03:51.53 so I am not putting salt at this stage. Just give them an even 00:03:51.56\00:03:55.16 coating, just like that. And we put them in the oven. 00:03:55.20\00:04:02.44 Now we've got some more vegetables and these are the 00:04:05.31\00:04:09.54 more slow cooking vegetables. I've got some red onion 00:04:09.58\00:04:12.28 some bell peppers or capsicum and some zucchini or corgette 00:04:12.31\00:04:17.32 And we're going to put these on a different tray. 00:04:17.35\00:04:19.35 These will probably take only about ten minutes or so to cook 00:04:19.39\00:04:22.06 We want to make sure we take these out first. 00:04:22.09\00:04:24.13 If we cook them together with the pumpkin and the sweet potato 00:04:24.16\00:04:28.86 they would overcook and the others will undercook. 00:04:28.90\00:04:33.34 And again we're going to cut them in similar sizes 00:04:33.37\00:04:37.77 put them on the tray just like that. 00:04:39.24\00:04:42.11 Bell peppers cut in half. I'm going to cut them in chunks. 00:04:42.14\00:04:46.65 You keep everything in similar size, not necessarily similar 00:04:46.72\00:04:51.19 shape, just a similar size which always goes well 00:04:51.22\00:04:54.12 in a roast vegetable salad. Some vegetables I generally don't 00:04:54.16\00:04:57.59 use, or a vegetable I don't use is potato. Potato is a great 00:04:57.63\00:05:01.30 vegetable but generally I find a roast vegetable salad is nicer 00:05:01.36\00:05:05.00 without potato. So just a general rule of thumb for you. 00:05:05.03\00:05:10.64 Make sure you economize on your cuts. Cut things fast. 00:05:20.88\00:05:25.39 Probably use only half a red onion. This is a massive one. 00:05:25.42\00:05:30.76 Cut the ends off and again just into chunks like this. 00:05:30.83\00:05:36.13 On the tray. Drizzle of oil. 00:05:38.77\00:05:42.40 I'm going to toss it around again. 00:05:43.94\00:05:48.44 And put that in the oven as well. 00:05:49.81\00:05:54.08 It's important to get that job out of the way because that's 00:05:58.72\00:06:01.26 one thing that can hold up your meal so get that in first. 00:06:01.29\00:06:04.93 I'm going to serve it with quinoa. It's my favorite grain 00:06:04.96\00:06:08.80 to use. It's so healthy, full of protein. And the best part 00:06:08.86\00:06:12.63 about it, it cooks in 12 minutes so if you want a good rice type 00:06:12.67\00:06:17.81 grain to use, quinoa is amazing. So we're going to use one cup 00:06:17.84\00:06:22.94 This cooker is not too hot, it's nice and warm 00:06:22.98\00:06:25.05 So one cup of quinoa, I'm using a big cup 00:06:25.11\00:06:29.02 to two cups of boiling water. I just boiled it recently 00:06:30.92\00:06:37.13 So one to two, same as rice 00:06:37.19\00:06:42.03 and a few rules for cooking quinoa or rice as well 00:06:44.60\00:06:48.70 number one rule is lid on. This is the absorption method 00:06:48.74\00:06:52.77 so we want the water to be absorbed into the quinoa 00:06:52.81\00:06:55.64 rather than escape at the top. So lid one. Second rule is 00:06:55.68\00:06:59.98 bring it to boil until it's bubbling and then turn it down 00:07:00.02\00:07:03.59 to a simmer where it's just bubbling and then that's where 00:07:03.62\00:07:07.52 your 12 minutes start. Another rule, third rule is resist the 00:07:07.56\00:07:11.79 temptation to stir your quinoa. Basically it forms air vents 00:07:11.83\00:07:15.23 and that's what cooks it. If you start stirring it interrupts 00:07:15.26\00:07:18.53 that process and it doesn't cook evenly. So quinoa is on. 00:07:18.57\00:07:21.74 That will boil in a few minutes and we'll turn it down to a nice 00:07:21.77\00:07:24.91 simmer. So these two jobs out of the way. Roast veggies done 00:07:24.97\00:07:28.04 quinoa underway and we can now focus on the easy parts. 00:07:28.08\00:07:31.11 Okay we start the goulash. First ingredient of any good 00:07:33.45\00:07:37.95 hot pot or a solid dish is a nice sweet brown onion. 00:07:37.99\00:07:42.46 Removing the skin is the most difficult part 00:07:42.49\00:07:45.66 And you're going to combine this with a bit of garlic 00:07:47.56\00:07:51.03 just to get the nice base flavors of the meal underway 00:07:51.07\00:07:54.80 You start a meal with a good base, then finishing off 00:07:54.84\00:07:59.81 tasting great is easy. Just going to roughly dice these 00:07:59.84\00:08:04.78 Put a bit of oil in the pan. 00:08:04.81\00:08:09.68 I am using a cast iron pot here 00:08:12.55\00:08:15.99 which is my favorite way of cooking. So if you can find 00:08:16.02\00:08:19.93 cast iron, it has a great even kind of heat surface to use 00:08:19.96\00:08:23.67 for cooking. So I recommend this. However, any kind of 00:08:23.70\00:08:27.30 non-stick pan, a good one or any kind of pot is fine, or wok 00:08:27.34\00:08:32.04 you can use any dish you want so find a good one, and again, 00:08:32.07\00:08:36.75 my preference for any kind of cooking kitchen equipment 00:08:36.78\00:08:40.65 is buy one really good item rather than buy 10 average 00:08:40.68\00:08:43.92 or poor items. So save up and buy something good that will 00:08:43.95\00:08:47.09 last you the rest of your life. It makes you enjoy your cooking. 00:08:47.16\00:08:49.99 Better get some cloves of garlic two cloves of garlic. 00:08:50.03\00:08:54.36 Just put the garlic in the crusher, squeeze it through 00:08:54.40\00:08:58.73 into the pan like that. 00:08:58.77\00:09:07.28 Now mushrooms, they're over here. These onions are strong! 00:09:12.01\00:09:16.28 I don't normally buy chopped vegetables but I was in the 00:09:16.32\00:09:19.42 supermarket last night and these are actually really fresh 00:09:19.45\00:09:21.96 So I thought why go to the bother of chopping them when 00:09:21.99\00:09:24.43 they're pre chopped. So we have 8 ozs or 200 grams of mushroom 00:09:24.46\00:09:29.66 some pre-sliced mushrooms. Yes you can occasionally find 00:09:29.73\00:09:37.14 some good sliced vegetables but make sure it's of good quality. 00:09:37.17\00:09:41.08 Just let it sit there and it will reduce down, flavors are 00:09:43.35\00:09:47.78 going to come out, the moisture is going to disappear and 00:09:47.82\00:09:51.79 come back to amazing flavors later. Meanwhile the quinoa is 00:09:51.82\00:09:56.52 bubbling away, we'll just turn this down to a very very low 00:09:56.59\00:10:01.26 heat so it's just bubbling. 00:10:01.30\00:10:05.87 Now Salad time. I've got a great Mexican salad 00:10:08.20\00:10:11.84 that's so quick. I want to use a Baby Spring Mix here 00:10:11.87\00:10:15.68 which is a mix of different lettuces and you've got beetroot 00:10:15.71\00:10:20.08 a really nice mix of lettuces that will form the base of it 00:10:21.72\00:10:25.92 and you get these at most super markets. Make sure they're fresh 00:10:25.95\00:10:28.26 baby spinach, that type of thing you could use watercress 00:10:28.29\00:10:31.59 just any kind of nice green leafy base for the salad. 00:10:31.63\00:10:35.53 We're going to start with the dressing. Let's make the 00:10:35.56\00:10:39.93 dressing in the bowl to save some washing up. So we've got 00:10:39.97\00:10:44.77 the juice of one lime and one lemon. Juice those in the juicer 00:10:44.81\00:10:49.58 I like lime because they don't have pits. But lemons do. 00:10:49.61\00:10:55.25 Pour it in there. Strain the pits through my fingers 00:11:00.82\00:11:06.56 Going to put in a tablespoon of good virgin olive oil 00:11:17.41\00:11:21.01 and two tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. 00:11:21.04\00:11:28.98 And a dash of salt. And I think that's all the dressing 00:11:30.65\00:11:37.86 ingredients. Just give it a stir around. You could make this 00:11:37.89\00:11:41.46 in a separate cup if you wanted to but it's easy enough just 00:11:41.50\00:11:46.27 making it in the bottom of the bowl. There you go nicely mixed. 00:11:46.30\00:11:51.04 Other ingredients we're going to add is whole kernel corn 00:11:52.57\00:11:55.48 from a can, drain the water out. 00:11:55.51\00:12:02.38 This is a great ingredient to have in your pantry, 00:12:02.42\00:12:04.69 adds color to any kind of dish. 00:12:04.72\00:12:10.26 And we're going to add some tomatoes. Baby cherry tomatoes 00:12:12.19\00:12:17.60 And we've got some yellow ones and some red ones. 00:12:19.40\00:12:24.37 Just for a bit of color, it never hurts. I'm going to slice 00:12:24.41\00:12:28.94 these in half. Again try and slice a couple at once 00:12:28.98\00:12:32.75 that way you're gonna do, I'm gonna aim for three. 00:12:32.78\00:12:37.55 That way you can have a third less time slicing. 00:12:37.59\00:12:42.36 And you can slice them any way you want. 00:12:44.09\00:12:46.43 Going to put some cilantro or coriander as well. 00:12:50.03\00:12:54.24 Just chop up some for extra flavor. 00:12:54.27\00:12:58.11 And a new ingredient you may not have used before is celery seeds 00:12:58.14\00:13:04.45 And these little guys are seeds you would normally plant 00:13:04.48\00:13:11.35 to grow celery. And they have the most amazing, vibrant celery 00:13:11.39\00:13:17.06 flavor that just bursts in your mouth when you eat it. 00:13:17.13\00:13:19.19 When you give it so someone who doesn't know what it is 00:13:19.26\00:13:21.30 they're like Wow, what is this? So I'm going to put some of them 00:13:21.33\00:13:23.80 in as well. Put in a teaspoon. They're pretty flavorsome. 00:13:23.83\00:13:28.17 I'm just going to mix this around. Get that lovely dressing 00:13:30.17\00:13:33.68 over these ingredients. 00:13:33.71\00:13:36.64 Just like that. Is that every thing? I think it is. 00:13:41.75\00:13:45.09 And we're going to put the lettuce on top like this 00:13:45.15\00:13:48.99 and what we're going to do is leave it like that 00:13:49.02\00:13:52.79 and just before we serve we're going to mix it around. 00:13:52.83\00:13:56.16 If we mix it now the dressing is going to wilt the leaves 00:13:56.20\00:13:59.37 but if we mix it before we serve it's going to be a lot 00:13:59.40\00:14:02.54 fresher. So we just need to mix it and the salad is finished. 00:14:02.57\00:14:06.37 On today's menu we have a delicious Hungarian goulash 00:14:09.11\00:14:13.01 with Tofu. We're going to be serving it on lemon infused 00:14:13.05\00:14:17.65 quinoa. We have an amazing salad - sweet chili roasted 00:14:17.69\00:14:22.19 vegetables. We have a fresh Mexican salad and to finish it 00:14:22.22\00:14:26.70 off a banana date smoothie. 00:14:26.73\00:14:29.63 We've made really good progress. The roast vegetables are in the 00:14:30.70\00:14:34.04 oven, they're probably nearly ready. The Goulash has been 00:14:34.07\00:14:37.44 started. The quinoa is probably finished half way through. 00:14:37.47\00:14:40.68 Salad is finished and now we're going to finish the goulash. 00:14:40.71\00:14:43.85 So this is getting all nicely fried here. Look at that. 00:14:43.88\00:14:48.02 Everything is reducing down and becoming nice and sweet. 00:14:48.05\00:14:51.82 We might just turn it up a little bit. 00:14:51.85\00:14:53.29 And we're going to add thyme which goes well with mushrooms. 00:14:53.32\00:14:57.16 You can use dried thyme but I found fresh thyme here today. 00:14:57.19\00:15:01.53 For fresh thyme pick off the heads of it in big clumps 00:15:01.56\00:15:10.21 If you get some stalk that's fine as long as it's the stalk 00:15:10.24\00:15:13.48 at the end which is nice and soft. Get as much as you can 00:15:13.51\00:15:17.78 Pick a couple of those nice soft tips, avoid the hard, woody 00:15:17.81\00:15:22.12 stems. Pull off like that. If the stalk comes off on the end 00:15:22.15\00:15:26.42 it's soft enough anyway. Chop it up. Give it some extra 00:15:26.45\00:15:32.49 I'm going to put it in here to add a little extra burst of 00:15:33.93\00:15:39.57 fresh thyme flavor. Okay, we're going to add canned tomatoes 00:15:39.63\00:15:45.21 So we just open these. Two 400 gram or 12 oz cans 00:15:45.24\00:15:51.75 And you can use chopped tomatoes or whole tomatoes 00:15:51.78\00:15:55.42 but if the tomatoes need water you might want to think about 00:15:55.45\00:15:58.52 blending them. Here we go. Look at that, nice and smooth. 00:15:58.55\00:16:02.59 So put that in there. 00:16:02.62\00:16:06.73 And I'm going to add some salt. 00:16:08.56\00:16:12.50 Teaspoon of salt. Just a touch of cayenne pepper. 00:16:12.53\00:16:15.87 Again leave it out if you want but just a touch of heat 00:16:15.90\00:16:19.71 Not necessary to make it hot just kind of rounds out the dish 00:16:19.74\00:16:24.41 somehow makes it delicious. Tablespoon honey or date puree 00:16:24.45\00:16:28.58 And that's pretty much nearly it so stir that together 00:16:32.02\00:16:37.13 Those are the and flavor some ingredients. 00:16:37.16\00:16:41.06 and the main protein for this dish is Tofu 00:16:41.10\00:16:47.57 So for Tofu we've got 16 oz or 450 grams 00:16:47.60\00:16:52.91 the quantity doesn't need to be exact. Drain the water out 00:16:52.94\00:16:57.68 It's really great. You can find Tofu pretty much in all 00:16:57.71\00:17:01.08 supermarkets these days and of course in Asian stores as well. 00:17:01.12\00:17:05.89 And we're going to cube it up into cubes. Again, economize 00:17:09.29\00:17:14.16 your cuts so you only have to cut things a minimum amount 00:17:14.20\00:17:17.40 of time just into half inch or one centimeter cubes like that 00:17:17.43\00:17:23.04 I'm going to stir that in like that 00:17:23.07\00:17:27.58 So the good base of the garlic and the onion and mushrooms 00:17:33.42\00:17:38.15 and probably just another five or ten more minutes on this dish 00:17:38.19\00:17:42.02 and all those flavors will start to mingle. 00:17:42.06\00:17:43.83 And we'll just finish it off in the end with a garnish 00:17:43.86\00:17:45.83 and some coconut cream. Ok, those roast vegetables are 00:17:45.86\00:17:48.86 smelling amazing. We'll just check if they're done yet 00:17:48.90\00:17:52.80 Ah look at that. I'll pull out the shorter cooking time ones 00:17:52.83\00:17:56.91 and these guys I think need a couple more minutes 00:17:56.94\00:18:00.54 So we've got those that are out and ready to go 00:18:00.58\00:18:03.88 we'll put them on the bench just to cool down 00:18:03.91\00:18:05.95 and we'll wait till the other vegetables are finished 00:18:05.98\00:18:08.32 and then we can make the roast vegetable salad. 00:18:08.35\00:18:10.25 So I think the quinoa is finished, let's have a look here 00:18:13.39\00:18:16.86 Oh look at that. As you can see it's beautiful and fluffy 00:18:17.93\00:18:22.33 So just fluff it up and it's beautiful and fluffy quinoa 00:18:22.36\00:18:29.40 there's no moisture at the bottom and it's ready to go 00:18:29.44\00:18:32.64 I've cooked probably about twice as much and there's some 00:18:32.67\00:18:34.54 purpose. Especially when you cook this type of thing put it 00:18:34.58\00:18:37.95 in a plastic container or any kind of container 00:18:37.98\00:18:41.48 and store it in the frig. You can use it next morning as 00:18:41.52\00:18:46.02 breakfast or couple days later in a stir fry or something 00:18:46.05\00:18:48.82 like that. So here you go, put it in the fridge and 00:18:48.86\00:18:52.33 just something to keep to make the next meal easier. 00:18:52.36\00:18:55.50 The remaining quinoa we're going to flavor. We promised 00:18:55.53\00:18:59.13 lemon infused. so I've got a nice lemon zester here. So 00:18:59.17\00:19:03.61 we're just going to zest the lemon into the quinoa and 00:19:03.64\00:19:08.48 the pot that it's in. And this will make lovely shards of 00:19:08.51\00:19:13.01 beautifully fragrant lemon citrus kind of flavor. 00:19:13.05\00:19:17.35 You probably want to use about two lemons and try to avoid 00:19:19.82\00:19:24.76 your finger because it generally doesn't taste good in quinoa! 00:19:24.79\00:19:28.10 Okay, there we go. Look at that on the back of it. 00:19:44.31\00:19:48.22 All that beautiful lemon zest that we can now sprinkle through 00:19:48.25\00:19:51.19 the quinoa. Okay to add to that oops its hot. Some lemon juice 00:19:51.22\00:19:59.73 so we juice some more lemons put the lemons in as well 00:19:59.76\00:20:03.83 Strain it through the fingers to catch the pits 00:20:10.74\00:20:15.44 and this will definitely be lemon infused. 00:20:15.48\00:20:20.02 Just a sprinkling of salt. 00:20:20.05\00:20:23.75 And a touch of oil. And then we'll just stir that up. 00:20:23.79\00:20:31.86 Present it in a nice bowl. 00:20:31.89\00:20:36.13 And that is ready to serve. 00:20:36.16\00:20:40.50 Now it turns quite an ordinary dish into something that's 00:20:45.27\00:20:48.51 just more beautiful and fragrant 00:20:48.54\00:20:51.81 I'm going to make a lovely dressing now for the sweet chili 00:20:53.15\00:20:56.72 roasted vegetables. Pan on the stove here. Nice and warm 00:20:56.75\00:21:01.19 Just going to add some lovely ingredients to this 00:21:01.22\00:21:02.92 Just going to make this dressing very special. 00:21:02.96\00:21:05.56 So again going to lemons. Lemons are a great ingredient to 00:21:05.59\00:21:10.27 really add zing to any kind of dish or dressing. 00:21:10.30\00:21:16.67 So the pan I'm going to add the lemon juice. 00:21:20.41\00:21:24.15 Hope it won't spatter too much Pips are in my fingers. 00:21:24.18\00:21:28.48 I'll get those pips out later. 00:21:32.22\00:21:34.42 We're going to add some sweet chili sauce, about 2 tablespoons 00:21:34.46\00:21:40.93 A tablespoon of oil, 00:21:40.96\00:21:46.10 a half teaspoon of salt, 00:21:46.13\00:21:49.54 and two tablespoons of grainy seeded mustard 00:21:49.57\00:21:54.34 We're just going to stir that around and that is going to 00:21:58.15\00:22:02.25 create a lovely little dressing. We're going to add some water 00:22:02.28\00:22:06.92 So you probably want about a quarter of a cup 00:22:06.96\00:22:09.22 just to give it some extra liquid as well. 00:22:10.56\00:22:13.60 Just turn the heat up a bit. 00:22:13.63\00:22:16.80 Get those naughty lemon pips out 00:22:19.97\00:22:23.41 Okay, that is better. 00:22:28.18\00:22:30.81 I think that's all the ingredients. Let it just bubble 00:22:30.85\00:22:33.85 and thicken slightly to a nice dressing. Meanwhile we 00:22:33.88\00:22:40.99 better check how the other vegetables are going in the oven 00:22:41.02\00:22:43.56 Aha, look at that. They are looking gorgeous. 00:22:45.93\00:22:51.47 So just push them down. They're nice and soft. 00:22:51.50\00:22:54.30 So what we're going to do is to put them on a platter 00:22:54.34\00:22:57.47 where we serve from. It's all very hot so make sure you use 00:22:57.51\00:23:04.05 a good tea towel or an oven glove. 00:23:04.08\00:23:07.95 And these ones here as well. They've cooled down here 00:23:14.26\00:23:16.62 Again we could mix them in a bowl but you'll damage the 00:23:16.66\00:23:21.00 ingredients every time you use a different bowl or receptacle 00:23:21.03\00:23:24.03 try to minimize handling all of your items 00:23:24.07\00:23:29.57 Look at the beautiful colors here. Looking wonderful. 00:23:29.60\00:23:34.81 I'm going to take this dressing and just drizzle it over 00:23:34.84\00:23:39.45 drizzle it over just like that 00:23:41.22\00:23:43.25 and that's a beautiful dressing. 00:23:46.52\00:23:50.03 And on top of that I've got some Italian parsley 00:23:50.06\00:23:52.83 I'm going to slice it up to give it a bit of green on top 00:23:52.86\00:23:57.07 Sprinkle it over and the salad is now ready. 00:23:58.97\00:24:04.54 Doesn't that look beautiful? 00:24:04.57\00:24:06.54 Ok let's make this quick and really healthy dessert. 00:24:08.84\00:24:11.41 I've got a banana date smoothie. 00:24:11.45\00:24:13.95 I'm going to start with a cup of milk. There it goes. 00:24:13.98\00:24:18.52 It goes in the blender. I'm using Almond milk. You can use 00:24:18.55\00:24:22.39 any healthy milk you've got. Two bananas. Put them in there 00:24:22.42\00:24:27.56 I'm going to use ten dates. I've only got chopped dates 00:24:27.60\00:24:30.43 so I'm going to add ten worth of chopped dates. 00:24:30.47\00:24:34.27 Gives it sweetness and a couple of cubes of ice. 00:24:35.94\00:24:38.67 Just to add a bit of coldness as well. 00:24:38.71\00:24:41.78 And I'm going to put that there and I'm going to blend. 00:24:41.81\00:24:44.68 While that's going on we'll add coconut milk over here 00:24:51.65\00:24:53.99 And this will finish off our goulash nicely. 00:24:57.03\00:25:03.26 Stirring the coconut milk or coconut cream 00:25:03.30\00:25:08.40 It comes out beautifully nice and creamy 00:25:08.44\00:25:11.44 I'll just put the garnish before we put on the table 00:25:11.47\00:25:14.08 and there, it's all finished. 00:25:14.11\00:25:15.51 Let's mix this up here. 00:25:15.54\00:25:22.68 You see the beautiful colors coming out here. 00:25:22.72\00:25:25.39 Try to land all the yummy ingredients on top like that. 00:25:25.42\00:25:29.26 There you go, bring out all the color. 00:25:29.29\00:25:34.36 There, it's nicely dressed.

And just to finish off a pinch of nutmeg 00:26:04.33\00:26:09.70 Just to give it a bit of interest. 00:26:09.73\00:26:12.17 Just a bit of sprinkle. 00:26:12.20\00:26:17.91 And the dessert's finished.
