What is a "flexitarian"?
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.13
If you'd like to know
more, please stand by.
00:00:05.04\00:00:08.74
Hello and welcome
back to Let's Cook!
00:00:37.41\00:00:42.02
We're the Riedesels, I'm
Jeff, this is my bride Nancy
00:00:42.06\00:00:45.07
and we're going to
discuss flexitarian,
00:00:45.11\00:00:48.44
a term that I've just
recently learned about
00:00:48.48\00:00:50.96
and Nancy will
describe in more detail.
00:00:50.99\00:00:53.43
I was afraid,
you'd say that. (Aha)
00:00:53.46\00:00:54.99
Flexitarian is just a
term, that we've learned to use
00:00:55.02\00:00:58.59
as people are wanting
to become more adapted
00:00:58.62\00:01:03.44
to a healthier way of life.
00:01:03.47\00:01:04.94
Or flexible.
00:01:04.97\00:01:05.94
Flexible in their
eating experience.
00:01:05.95\00:01:07.63
They don't want to do all meat,
00:01:07.66\00:01:09.17
they want to do
vegetarian one day
00:01:09.20\00:01:11.73
meat one day, they
need to have an alternative.
00:01:11.77\00:01:14.38
Some people don't know
what to use for an alternative.
00:01:14.41\00:01:17.45
We have people
all around the world
00:01:17.48\00:01:19.05
that are looking for
a healthier way of life.
00:01:19.08\00:01:21.60
And they need an alternative
to the meat-eating diet.
00:01:21.63\00:01:25.06
That makes sense.
00:01:25.09\00:01:26.06
Well, we know that
meat-eating basically
00:01:26.07\00:01:28.51
is not a healthy way of living.
00:01:28.54\00:01:29.83
So we are going to show
some alternatives to the
00:01:29.86\00:01:32.82
meat eating diet by
using soy alternatives.
00:01:32.85\00:01:36.58
Okay, what we've done today,
is to take 5 or 6 standard
00:01:37.45\00:01:41.51
American recipes spaghetti and
meatballs, hamburger, meat loaf,
00:01:41.54\00:01:46.61
Chicken and rice,
chicken salad, things like that
00:01:46.64\00:01:51.28
and we are
converting them to a healthier,
00:01:51.31\00:01:54.77
non-meat style of a dish.
00:01:55.08\00:01:59.23
And so to start off,
let's go ahead and do
00:01:59.27\00:02:01.45
our spaghetti and meat balls.
00:02:01.48\00:02:03.04
Ok, let's see what
we are going to put in
00:02:03.07\00:02:04.86
the spaghetti and meat balls.
00:02:04.89\00:02:06.45
We'll read the
recipe on the screen.
00:02:06.48\00:02:07.63
In our spaghetti and
meatballs we're going to use
00:02:07.66\00:02:10.25
a cup of Grillnz and we'll
tell you more about that in
00:02:10.28\00:02:13.91
just a moment, and
one cup of cool water,
00:02:13.94\00:02:16.92
Your favorite spaghetti
sauce, And your favorite pasta
00:02:16.95\00:02:21.54
Okay, let's get started,
we're gonna use a product called
00:02:21.58\00:02:26.19
Grillnz, that's
an interesting name
00:02:26.22\00:02:28.22
This is a product, you
want to tell us about that?
00:02:28.25\00:02:31.46
Grillnz is something
we found about a year ago
00:02:31.49\00:02:34.66
and it's a
dehydrated burger type mix,
00:02:34.69\00:02:37.65
and I'm sure there
are many on the market,
00:02:37.68\00:02:40.57
but the thing I like about this
it is so simple and the spices,
00:02:40.60\00:02:43.76
the flavorings
are already in it.
00:02:43.79\00:02:45.59
It's a soy product, right?
00:02:45.62\00:02:47.15
Definitely soy...
00:02:47.18\00:02:48.15
And it's all dry so it's
very inexpensive easy to use,
00:02:48.16\00:02:50.58
all you do use is water.
00:02:50.61\00:02:51.71
We're going to show
exactly how easy to use.
00:02:51.74\00:02:53.62
Okay.
00:02:53.65\00:02:54.62
One part of mix to
one part of water...
00:02:54.63\00:02:57.28
And that's cool water,
00:02:57.31\00:03:00.10
and the reason why we
are doing cool water is:
00:03:00.13\00:03:02.52
Because warm water... it
doesn't stick together so well
00:03:02.55\00:03:06.36
Okay, it just
seems to go together
00:03:06.39\00:03:09.87
better with cold water
00:03:09.90\00:03:11.02
Well, we'll just let
that sit for ten minutes.
00:03:11.05\00:03:13.10
Okay, and you're
gonna get some here
00:03:13.13\00:03:15.20
that you have let soaked,
00:03:15.23\00:03:16.67
We have let soaked already
00:03:16.70\00:03:18.06
And we're going to
make meatballs now,
00:03:18.09\00:03:20.69
why people are
wondering how to make meatballs
00:03:20.72\00:03:23.78
if you're used to having
regular spaghetti and meatballs.
00:03:23.81\00:03:27.58
This is so simple.
00:03:27.61\00:03:29.09
It goes together
well, it holds together,
00:03:29.12\00:03:32.40
it's a great product
put out by Dressler foods,
00:03:32.44\00:03:36.39
I'm not sure, if
anybody wants to know
00:03:36.42\00:03:39.34
where can they get it
from, they can contact us.
00:03:39.37\00:03:40.76
Contact us...
00:03:40.79\00:03:42.13
If you see, the
meatballs roll really nicely and
00:03:42.17\00:03:46.28
they hold themselves together.
00:03:46.31\00:03:48.52
We're going to use this product
00:03:48.55\00:03:50.65
to make the meatloaf and
some all-American burgers.
00:03:50.68\00:03:54.41
So, we are going to
have a lot of fun with that.
00:03:54.48\00:03:57.16
If you see that's
going together very nicely.
00:03:57.19\00:03:59.27
Now, this is a good
protein dish as well as low fat.
00:03:59.30\00:04:02.92
You can either fry it or bake it
00:04:02.95\00:04:05.38
And we prefer to bake it.
00:04:05.41\00:04:06.77
We're going to bake these...
00:04:06.80\00:04:08.12
uuuh... meatballs.
00:04:08.15\00:04:10.34
Now, after we bake them,
00:04:10.38\00:04:12.86
we're going to put
them in a Magic Oven
00:04:12.90\00:04:14.63
and bring them out
00:04:14.66\00:04:15.94
and we're going to make
some sauce with spaghetti.
00:04:15.97\00:04:20.72
We have today chosen to use
the colorful vegetable spaghetti
00:04:20.76\00:04:25.01
and while you are
making those meatballs,
00:04:25.04\00:04:28.81
I'm going to stir
the spaghetti sauce.
00:04:28.84\00:04:30.61
You can use any kind of
spaghetti sauce that you want
00:04:30.64\00:04:33.65
we can use homemade
spaghetti sauce which is what
00:04:33.68\00:04:36.68
we prefer whenever we
make it or if you don't have
00:04:36.71\00:04:39.31
home-made spaghetti
sauce, you don't have time,
00:04:39.34\00:04:42.03
get good healthier
version of store-bought
00:04:42.06\00:04:44.71
spaghetti sauce.
00:04:44.74\00:04:45.71
So, we've got
that ready, it's hot,
00:04:45.72\00:04:47.56
we've got our noodles already,
00:04:47.59\00:04:49.94
we've got these
beautiful colored noodles
00:04:49.97\00:04:51.31
and we're gonna put them
in the plate, in our bowl,
00:04:51.34\00:04:55.95
and with that we've got
some meatballs already made up
00:04:55.98\00:05:00.58
And since you're the one that
00:05:04.11\00:05:06.79
always loved
spaghetti and meatballs,
00:05:06.83\00:05:08.41
you go right ahead
and fix them together.
00:05:08.44\00:05:11.81
Don't those look
like real meatballs?
00:05:15.92\00:05:18.98
Okay, this just goes
right over the top...
00:05:19.13\00:05:22.56
Wow! That really looks good.
00:05:27.39\00:05:29.40
Put it all.
00:05:29.43\00:05:30.54
You want all of it on?
00:05:30.58\00:05:31.82
All of it on.
00:05:31.85\00:05:32.99
Ok.
00:05:33.02\00:05:33.99
A slight toss...
00:05:36.65\00:05:38.83
Serve this with the
salad and a little French bread
00:05:39.98\00:05:43.47
And for anyone not knowing
that this is not really meat,
00:05:43.50\00:05:49.03
It tastes for all the world
like a real meatless meatball.
00:05:49.07\00:05:54.59
Very nice. Ok.
00:05:57.41\00:05:58.61
We're going to show later
how to set that up with a salad.
00:05:58.64\00:06:01.23
Ok, lets get ready
to do a second recipe.
00:06:01.26\00:06:03.33
We've got a lot of
recipes to show you today,
00:06:03.36\00:06:05.23
so we're going to try
to do them real quick.
00:06:05.26\00:06:07.06
Next recipe coming up
is the All-American burger.
00:06:07.09\00:06:11.34
We're going to do two cups
of Grillnz Burger Mix again,
00:06:11.37\00:06:15.64
two cups of cold water,
00:06:15.67\00:06:17.90
a half a cup of diced
onions which is optional.
00:06:17.94\00:06:21.47
And from there we're
going to make a great burger.
00:06:21.50\00:06:25.39
Okay, let's make a burger.
00:06:27.40\00:06:29.10
Let's make a burger.
00:06:29.13\00:06:30.10
All right, we've
got the mix here,
00:06:30.11\00:06:31.61
that has already hydrated...
00:06:31.64\00:06:33.91
And that is how easy it holds
together it is really cool.
00:06:33.95\00:06:37.75
You know what's in
there that makes to do that
00:06:37.78\00:06:40.29
it's the flexi which is a
very beneficial thing anyway.
00:06:40.32\00:06:42.80
So it's high in
omega3 too, then...
00:06:42.83\00:06:44.87
Low calories, low carbs,
good protein, lots of fiber.
00:06:44.90\00:06:49.77
We'll pop that in there.
00:06:49.80\00:06:50.94
Okay.
00:06:50.97\00:06:51.94
And this only
takes about ten minutes
00:06:51.95\00:06:54.60
if you want to fry it or
if you put them in the oven
00:06:54.63\00:06:56.48
you can bake them. Right?
00:06:56.51\00:06:57.68
So, it's a very flexible recipe.
00:06:58.61\00:07:00.80
We've got one that
we've just finished,
00:07:00.83\00:07:02.78
so we're going to take
that out but this one's frying
00:07:02.81\00:07:06.46
and we're going to put
this in this in the burger.
00:07:06.49\00:07:10.06
And you can put on the bun
of course anything you want,
00:07:10.09\00:07:13.93
such as some vegan mayo,
00:07:13.96\00:07:15.80
some ketchup, and whatever,
00:07:15.83\00:07:17.99
and we're going
to do some lettuce,
00:07:18.03\00:07:20.17
we put that under here,
and just cutting up some onion
00:07:20.20\00:07:25.49
I mean some tomato.
00:07:25.52\00:07:27.02
And I'm going
to put on the onion
00:07:27.05\00:07:28.99
and some people really like
00:07:29.03\00:07:32.61
black olives so I'm
going to put some black olives
00:07:32.65\00:07:35.41
on the sandwich
00:07:35.44\00:07:36.51
and I've put some onion slices.
00:07:36.54\00:07:38.64
These are tomatoes.
00:07:38.67\00:07:40.21
That's right, this are onions.
00:07:40.25\00:07:42.93
But the colors are beautiful.
00:07:44.25\00:07:45.22
And this is
what we want to make:
00:07:45.23\00:07:46.20
beautifully colored food.
00:07:46.21\00:07:47.84
So that will go on like that,
00:07:47.87\00:07:49.50
and we have a lovely All
American Burger. I love it!
00:07:49.53\00:07:54.57
Okay. Let's go
to the next recipe.
00:07:54.60\00:07:57.33
We've got another one to do here
00:07:57.36\00:07:58.47
and it's going
to be really tasty,
00:07:58.51\00:07:59.61
using the same product.
00:07:59.65\00:08:01.80
This is going
to be our meatloaf.
00:08:01.84\00:08:03.49
For meatloaf I'm
using two cups of Grillnz,
00:08:03.52\00:08:06.25
two cups of water,
00:08:06.28\00:08:07.52
6 ounces of can tomato paste,
00:08:07.55\00:08:10.41
one large sweet onion,
00:08:10.44\00:08:12.45
diced up, one cup
of dried bread crumbs,
00:08:12.49\00:08:16.78
1 bell pepper, one
cup of diced mushrooms,
00:08:16.82\00:08:21.08
three tablespoons
of light olive oil
00:08:21.11\00:08:23.98
and 6 ounces can of tomato sauce
00:08:24.01\00:08:26.53
or your favorite spaghetti sauce
00:08:26.56\00:08:29.07
Okay, lets go and make
a meatloaf for them quick.
00:08:31.27\00:08:33.62
So this is really just
the dumping, pouring in it.
00:08:33.65\00:08:35.90
Basically, you've already soaked
the Grillnz in the cold water
00:08:35.93\00:08:38.90
and it holds together so
nice, that's why this product
00:08:38.93\00:08:44.14
is such a favorite.
00:08:44.17\00:08:45.14
And you can put anything in
it that you would normally put
00:08:45.16\00:08:49.76
in... I'm going to fix it
the way my mum used to fix it.
00:08:49.79\00:08:51.77
She did the bread crumbs,
she did all this other stuff,
00:08:51.80\00:08:54.06
so we're going to
do the way mom did it.
00:08:54.09\00:08:57.74
Ok.
00:08:57.77\00:08:58.74
She put a lot of onions in it,
00:08:58.75\00:09:00.96
because she was a
believer in onions.
00:09:00.99\00:09:02.87
And for if you don't care
for onions, leave them out.
00:09:02.90\00:09:06.20
She put in some diced mushrooms.
00:09:06.23\00:09:08.23
And put a bowl of mushrooms to
make a really nice flavor, too,
00:09:08.26\00:09:11.92
when you do this.
00:09:11.95\00:09:13.34
Another thing
nice about this product
00:09:13.37\00:09:16.01
is that it is inexpensive,
00:09:16.04\00:09:17.56
it's easy to
use, it's dry product,
00:09:17.59\00:09:20.01
so you can use it anywhere
to make it when you're camping.
00:09:20.04\00:09:22.57
She also use tomato paste
00:09:22.60\00:09:25.16
- sometimes
sauce, sometimes paste -
00:09:26.80\00:09:28.61
I don't know, what
the differences were.
00:09:28.64\00:09:30.10
Ok.
00:09:30.14\00:09:31.35
And she also used a lot
of different colored peppers.
00:09:31.39\00:09:36.08
Now the colored
peppers are so good,
00:09:36.11\00:09:38.21
because they have
more flavor in them
00:09:38.24\00:09:40.23
when green and green
peppers are not easy to digest,
00:09:40.26\00:09:43.24
which is why don't use
them, we like the incense,
00:09:43.27\00:09:46.17
the vitamins and the sweetness
of those colored peppers.
00:09:46.20\00:09:50.50
And plus, it makes
a pretty good dish.
00:09:50.53\00:09:53.00
So, mix that all up
with a little of oil...
00:09:53.03\00:09:55.75
... and finally she
put bread crumbs in it.
00:09:55.78\00:09:58.42
And I guess that made it
expand. We had a large family.
00:09:58.45\00:10:01.98
The oil can't be left out
because the product itself,
00:10:02.01\00:10:05.51
the Grillnz is a low fat oil.
00:10:05.54\00:10:07.51
She never did this
because the bowls were bigger.
00:10:07.54\00:10:11.52
Why did you put the oil in?
00:10:11.62\00:10:13.79
To hold it together a
little more because I've put
00:10:13.82\00:10:15.92
bread crumbs.
00:10:15.95\00:10:16.92
I'm going to put a
little bit of water,
00:10:16.95\00:10:18.25
and then I'm going to
what my mom always did:
00:10:18.28\00:10:20.92
after she washed her
hands, she mixed it all by hand.
00:10:20.95\00:10:24.56
Another reason you did the oil,
00:10:24.59\00:10:26.72
because people
that generally eat meat
00:10:26.75\00:10:29.08
are used to oily flavors.
00:10:29.11\00:10:31.39
That's true.
00:10:31.42\00:10:32.39
And this is an
alternative, this is an option,
00:10:32.40\00:10:34.97
to add a little
bit of extra oil to it,
00:10:35.00\00:10:36.69
if you want a low fat
dish, leave the oil out.
00:10:36.72\00:10:40.08
Remind me to get a larger
bowl next time than this...
00:10:40.11\00:10:44.33
This really does
make a wonderful meatloaf.
00:10:44.98\00:10:47.78
Once you got it all mixed
up it goes into a loaf pan,
00:10:47.81\00:10:51.07
and then goes into the
other and bakes for 45 minutes.
00:10:51.10\00:10:54.32
Did I tell you I
went to culinary school
00:10:54.35\00:10:56.41
to learn how to do this?
00:10:56.44\00:10:58.44
By the way, you did
go to culinary school.
00:10:58.66\00:11:00.72
But I didn't
learn how to do this.
00:11:00.75\00:11:02.69
And many people don't
realize, that you did go
00:11:02.72\00:11:05.26
to a culinary school and
it was not for meat eating,
00:11:05.29\00:11:09.53
it was for vegan cooking
00:11:09.56\00:11:11.29
Vegan culinary school...
00:11:11.32\00:11:12.98
So, this is a good
alternative though.
00:11:13.01\00:11:14.99
Now it looks like
it's all mixed up.
00:11:15.02\00:11:16.96
Now normally we'd mix it up more
00:11:16.99\00:11:18.49
But for the sake of
time since we have so much
00:11:18.52\00:11:22.63
we want to show
you, we got one prepared
00:11:22.66\00:11:24.38
an we're going to show you
that at the and of the show.
00:11:24.41\00:11:26.89
But this will go in so
nice and it does expand,
00:11:26.92\00:11:30.24
and another nice
thing about this product is
00:11:30.27\00:11:33.00
it will expand and
not shrink like a lot
00:11:33.03\00:11:35.73
of the vegetarian products.
00:11:35.76\00:11:37.92
So once it's formed in
there, and it'll come out
00:11:37.96\00:11:42.84
and we'll put it
on top of a plate
00:11:42.87\00:11:45.14
after you get your hand clean.
00:11:45.17\00:11:46.63
This is totally embarrassing.
00:11:46.66\00:11:48.91
But you know what,
this what's so exciting
00:11:50.28\00:11:54.18
about working on camera,
00:11:54.21\00:11:56.56
because nothing's
ever perfect, is it?
00:11:56.60\00:11:58.91
No, it isn't.
00:11:58.94\00:11:59.91
And it's fun,
because they want you to see
00:11:59.92\00:12:01.75
how you can work
in your own kitchen.
00:12:01.78\00:12:02.99
I'll clean up if you
put that in the oven.
00:12:03.02\00:12:04.87
I will be glad to
put this in the oven.
00:12:04.90\00:12:06.72
To prepare for the next recipe.
00:12:06.75\00:12:08.15
Let's go ahead and read the
instructions on the next recipe.
00:12:08.18\00:12:11.69
Next thing we are going to
do is Chicky Chunks 'n Rice
00:12:11.72\00:12:15.23
And we're going to use
two cups of Soy Add-ums
00:12:15.27\00:12:17.93
another new product,
00:12:17.96\00:12:19.54
1 medium onion, diced,
00:12:19.57\00:12:21.35
1 clove of garlic, minced,
00:12:21.38\00:12:23.11
4 tablespoons of
chicken style seasoning,
00:12:23.14\00:12:26.41
half teaspoon of turmeric,
00:12:26.44\00:12:28.48
two cups of brown or white rice,
00:12:28.52\00:12:31.17
three and a half cups of water,
00:12:31.20\00:12:33.78
1-2 tablespoons of
Bragg's Liquid Aminos
00:12:33.82\00:12:37.18
and 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
00:12:37.21\00:12:40.07
Ok, this is the fun recipe that
00:12:41.14\00:12:43.96
we've done at many
camp meeting this year,
00:12:44.00\00:12:46.47
And we're going to use a
product called Soy Add-ums.
00:12:46.50\00:12:50.07
Now, we want to
explain what Soy Add-ums is.
00:12:50.10\00:12:52.03
Soy Add-ums is very simple.
00:12:52.06\00:12:53.81
It's basically a
dehydrated soy flour,
00:12:53.84\00:12:57.01
its flour out of soy bean and
add water to it again I guess
00:12:57.05\00:13:04.58
...to extrude...
00:13:04.61\00:13:05.58
And they extrude
it through the process
00:13:05.59\00:13:07.23
and it's just very good at
chunks, they have no flavor,
00:13:07.26\00:13:11.17
no basic color of
their own, no spices,
00:13:11.20\00:13:14.45
This a product that you
can flavor with anything
00:13:14.49\00:13:19.65
you want it to taste,
00:13:19.68\00:13:20.65
...it's like tofu that can take
on any flavor that you give it
00:13:20.66\00:13:22.45
...because it's a soy product
00:13:22.48\00:13:23.81
And because high protein
00:13:23.84\00:13:25.09
Relatively low, actually
this is a defatted product
00:13:25.12\00:13:27.61
so it's very low in fat.
00:13:27.64\00:13:28.91
Right. And its no salt in
it no sugar, no colorings,
00:13:28.94\00:13:32.10
no flavoring, so
you add your own.
00:13:32.13\00:13:34.60
So, what we're going
to do with the Soy Add-ums
00:13:34.63\00:13:37.07
- if you don't know
where to get Soy Add-ums
00:13:37.10\00:13:39.50
you can contact us.
00:13:39.53\00:13:40.67
we'll be happy to
tell you where that is
00:13:40.70\00:13:42.90
What are you doing now?
00:13:42.93\00:13:43.90
I am putting a little
bit of olive oil in a pan
00:13:43.91\00:13:47.00
and the garlic and
onion and get those simmering
00:13:47.03\00:13:50.29
for those of you that
don't like onion and garlic
00:13:50.32\00:13:53.55
you don't have to.
and for the sake of time,
00:13:53.58\00:13:58.52
you have already...
00:13:58.55\00:14:00.00
Let's put the cover on
that that we can talk over that.
00:14:00.04\00:14:02.15
I can't hear you. Okay.
00:14:02.18\00:14:04.21
You have
already made up the rice
00:14:04.25\00:14:06.84
And your rice is yellow
00:14:06.87\00:14:08.82
Yes.
00:14:08.85\00:14:09.82
Okay. And why it is yellow?
00:14:09.83\00:14:11.71
I've put in saffron that
we got over in Israel about
00:14:11.75\00:14:15.98
six or seven years ago.
00:14:16.01\00:14:17.48
Okay.
00:14:17.51\00:14:18.48
If you don't have
saffron you can use turmeric
00:14:18.49\00:14:19.92
Okay. And that's
what we've done here.
00:14:19.95\00:14:21.44
and we got some peppers to go in
00:14:21.47\00:14:23.76
let's do that, get this one.
00:14:23.79\00:14:26.00
An we've also
taken the Soy Add-ums
00:14:26.03\00:14:29.15
in dry form, we have
soaked it in a flavored broth
00:14:29.19\00:14:32.70
this is chicken
flavored broth and we've used
00:14:32.73\00:14:35.62
Bill's Best Chickenish
00:14:35.65\00:14:37.29
in this one and you can use any
type of chicken type of broth
00:14:37.33\00:14:40.51
Vegetarian chicken broth
00:14:40.54\00:14:42.49
This we enjoyed in the summer
because I've from the South,
00:14:42.53\00:14:45.54
Sure, definitely and
southerners just love
00:14:45.57\00:14:48.53
chicken and rice.
00:14:48.56\00:14:49.53
That's why we're doing this one.
00:14:49.54\00:14:51.32
We're doing a
vegetarian for the flexitarians
00:14:51.35\00:14:53.76
that want to do an alternative.
00:14:53.79\00:14:57.52
Let's just add the rest of
it That'll go all the way in
00:14:57.56\00:14:59.64
you have the spoon.
00:14:59.67\00:15:00.96
I'm not getting my
hand in another bowl.
00:15:01.35\00:15:04.72
I love to do this. That's fine.
00:15:05.11\00:15:06.54
Let's put the rice in.
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.40
Okay. It'll just dump
in after the rice is done.
00:15:08.43\00:15:11.48
So, you can use left over
rice, or have some fresh rice.
00:15:11.51\00:15:18.25
We have done
this to a one pan dish
00:15:18.28\00:15:23.18
You can just put the water,
the rice, the chicky chunks
00:15:23.22\00:15:26.85
the veggies altogether
00:15:26.88\00:15:27.95
in one pan and just let it bake
or cook in an electric fry pan.
00:15:27.98\00:15:34.86
So, this works really
well as a one dish meal.
00:15:34.89\00:15:38.73
And then you serve this
with a salad or with some
00:15:38.76\00:15:42.01
other vegetables and it
really makes for a nice dish.
00:15:42.04\00:15:45.25
Let's just let it
simmer for a little bit.
00:15:45.28\00:15:47.30
That looks
great. That's wonderful.
00:15:47.33\00:15:48.95
Colorful...
00:15:48.98\00:15:49.95
Okay. Just simmer that down and
00:15:49.96\00:15:51.66
then we go right
into our next recipe.
00:15:51.69\00:15:53.75
This is fun, we
are having a good time.
00:15:53.78\00:15:55.77
Yes we are. What do
we have to come up next?
00:15:55.80\00:15:58.08
Next recipe is going
to be on the screen and we
00:15:58.11\00:16:00.60
are going to do a
Bar-B-Que Beef like product
00:16:00.63\00:16:03.08
this is also
using the Soy Add-ums.
00:16:03.11\00:16:04.86
You are using two cups
of Soy Add-ums, soaked in
00:16:04.89\00:16:07.99
4 tablespoons of beef style
seasoning, one large red onion
00:16:08.02\00:16:11.88
julienned, one large
green or red pepper, julienned
00:16:11.91\00:16:16.73
3 cloves of garlic, minced
00:16:16.76\00:16:20.19
4 cups of your
favorite bar-b-que sauce
00:16:20.23\00:16:23.53
Ok. This is one of
your favorite dishes
00:16:24.35\00:16:27.62
that you've made and
it's been the most popular
00:16:27.66\00:16:29.91
of any of the dishes that
we used with the Soy Add-ums.
00:16:29.94\00:16:32.55
You have to understand,
00:16:32.58\00:16:33.74
I was a southern boy at
heart and also by birth and so
00:16:33.77\00:16:36.47
bar-b-que is something that
we've had forever in our family.
00:16:36.50\00:16:39.99
Of course, it was usually pork
or chicken or beef bar-b-que.
00:16:40.02\00:16:43.47
Right.
00:16:43.50\00:16:44.47
So this is - I tell you what -
00:16:44.49\00:16:46.22
this is realistic enough as far
00:16:46.25\00:16:47.89
as my taste-buds are concerned
to bring me right back home.
00:16:47.92\00:16:51.75
Okay.
00:16:51.78\00:16:53.14
Now you've already
soaked the Soy Add-ums and...
00:16:53.18\00:16:55.29
What we did here?
00:16:55.32\00:16:56.58
We took the dry product
like that and we soaked it in a
00:16:56.61\00:17:00.02
beef-like broth and we didn't
00:17:00.05\00:17:03.29
actually have a beef
flavoring so we made our own.
00:17:03.33\00:17:05.47
We used a little bit
of Bragg's Liquid Aminos
00:17:05.50\00:17:07.31
which has kind of a beefy
flavor and I used cardamine
00:17:07.34\00:17:11.21
coriander, cumin,
garlic and onion powder.
00:17:11.24\00:17:14.85
We kind of made it on
our own we marinated for
00:17:14.89\00:17:18.53
kind of 15 minutes.
00:17:18.56\00:17:20.04
It has changed color now
quite a bit and now it's chewy
00:17:20.07\00:17:25.23
just like meat and
has a texture in it.
00:17:25.26\00:17:27.29
And that's the nice thing about
Soy Add-ums that it has that
00:17:27.32\00:17:30.12
soft chewy texture of
meat for the flexitarian people
00:17:30.15\00:17:32.86
that want to have something
different besides the meat dish.
00:17:32.89\00:17:35.45
People have asked us many
times in schools and things:
00:17:35.48\00:17:38.84
Why, why do we try to
make things taste like meat?
00:17:38.87\00:17:42.15
Why I do is because I came
from a family of meat-eaters.
00:17:42.18\00:17:46.32
Most of my life, for 45
years I was a meat-eater.
00:17:46.35\00:17:49.52
And so I still frankly
miss some of the textures.
00:17:49.55\00:17:52.69
And that's why.
00:17:52.72\00:17:53.93
And also for people that
are trying to make a bridge.
00:17:53.96\00:17:57.32
Right. And that's what we
are teaching is this bridge.
00:17:57.35\00:18:00.68
The bridge comes form crossing
00:18:00.71\00:18:04.98
the standard American
diet to God's ultimate diet.
00:18:05.02\00:18:07.81
What did you just put it in?
00:18:07.84\00:18:09.19
I've just put in some of
you famous bar-b-que sauce.
00:18:09.22\00:18:12.07
Now, we have a recipe for our
famous bar-b-que sauce in our
00:18:12.10\00:18:15.27
cook-book, and we did not
put it on the screen today
00:18:15.30\00:18:18.98
because there is just not enough
time to do everything so for
00:18:19.01\00:18:22.50
those of you there who are
00:18:22.53\00:18:24.30
wanting a bar-b-que
sauce a really good one,
00:18:24.33\00:18:25.95
contact us and we will be
happy to get the recipe for you.
00:18:25.98\00:18:29.42
What we did here, we just took
a relatively healthy commercial
00:18:29.45\00:18:32.85
bar-b-que sauce and added onions
00:18:32.88\00:18:35.32
and some peppers and
some mushrooms to it.
00:18:35.35\00:18:37.15
Uhum.
00:18:37.19\00:18:38.75
And simmered it
for an hour or two.
00:18:38.78\00:18:41.56
So you can use any kind of
bar-b-que sauce that you want
00:18:41.60\00:18:44.50
and just let that go.
00:18:44.53\00:18:45.97
Boys! That were good.
00:18:46.00\00:18:47.37
You can put it
over rice or a bun.
00:18:47.40\00:18:48.96
I prefer to put it over a
bun and just get sloppy with it.
00:18:48.99\00:18:51.87
Okay.
00:18:51.90\00:18:52.87
We've got one more recipe to do
00:18:52.88\00:18:54.27
and this is
going to be a cold dish
00:18:54.30\00:18:57.14
Right, because this product is,
00:18:57.17\00:18:58.79
this Soy Add-ums product
does not have to be cooked.
00:18:58.82\00:19:01.28
Okay?
00:19:01.32\00:19:02.71
As it is, it is virtually
cooked in the processing.
00:19:02.75\00:19:04.56
So we are going to do another
dishthat was a fun dish to make
00:19:04.59\00:19:09.52
and this one is called:
00:19:09.55\00:19:11.72
Add-ums Chicky Salad.
00:19:11.76\00:19:13.88
For the Chicky Salad we will
use two cups of Soy Add-ums,
00:19:13.92\00:19:17.16
two cups of water,
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.02
3 tablespoons of
chicken style seasoning,
00:19:19.06\00:19:21.89
3/4- 1 cup of Vegenaise or
your favorite vegan mayonnaise.
00:19:21.92\00:19:27.04
and for the vegetables
00:19:27.07\00:19:29.84
we're going to have
half a cup of sweet onion,
00:19:29.88\00:19:31.64
diced small, half a cup of
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.74
celery, diced small and a
quarter cup of pickle relish.
00:19:33.77\00:19:38.22
All right, this a
really super, simple,
00:19:39.09\00:19:41.51
easy, quick recipe
using the Soy Add-ums.
00:19:41.54\00:19:43.87
We're going to use the
food processor this time,
00:19:43.90\00:19:46.15
because, of course like
normal we took the dry chunks
00:19:46.18\00:19:49.12
and we marinated them or
soaked them in a broth of
00:19:49.15\00:19:51.63
chicken flavor like we
did for the other chicken...
00:19:51.66\00:19:53.92
Chicken 'n Rice
00:19:53.95\00:19:55.08
There are several
different chicken flavorings
00:19:55.11\00:19:57.62
and seasonings...
00:19:57.65\00:19:58.62
You can make your own,
you can by a commercial one,
00:19:58.63\00:20:00.87
there's a lot of
things on the market...
00:20:00.90\00:20:02.85
So this is what our
finished product looks like.
00:20:02.88\00:20:05.22
Now those chunks are kind
of big for a chicken salad,
00:20:05.25\00:20:07.75
so what I'm going to do and
00:20:07.78\00:20:10.52
what we learned is
kind of a neat little trick.
00:20:10.56\00:20:12.22
We're going to put
them - it's one other step -
00:20:12.25\00:20:13.83
we're going to put
them in the food processor.
00:20:13.86\00:20:15.41
Not necessary
but you can do that.
00:20:15.44\00:20:17.53
Not, you can have it
large chunks, it's fine.
00:20:17.56\00:20:19.69
Or you can chop it
up with a chopper, too,
00:20:19.72\00:20:21.82
if you don't
have a food processor.
00:20:21.85\00:20:23.48
We just happen to
have a food processor.
00:20:23.51\00:20:25.92
We're going to add
all the other things.
00:20:25.95\00:20:28.32
Now what is this here?
00:20:28.35\00:20:29.36
That's the
chicken sauce seasoning
00:20:29.39\00:20:30.63
that you've already used, so...
00:20:30.66\00:20:32.23
I'll put it in there.
00:20:32.26\00:20:33.23
Ok. These obviously
are onions diced up.
00:20:33.24\00:20:35.76
Which are optional for
those who don't like onions.
00:20:35.79\00:20:38.04
The celery is what really helps
00:20:38.07\00:20:40.22
to make it flavor
like the chicken salad.
00:20:40.25\00:20:42.02
Celery has a
high sodium content.
00:20:42.05\00:20:44.66
Now this is like a Pa's pickles
or like a lemon flavored pickle.
00:20:44.69\00:20:50.27
We are not using any vinegar.
00:20:50.30\00:20:51.48
Okay, and then we're going
to put a little bit of that
00:20:51.51\00:20:55.22
Vegenaise in.
00:20:55.25\00:20:56.87
Now the Vegenaise is a
non-animal product mayonnaise,
00:20:56.91\00:21:01.57
it's no eggs in there and
is a very tasty mayonnaise.
00:21:01.61\00:21:05.43
You don't need much,
just enough to get it going.
00:21:05.46\00:21:08.67
I will put the top on
you will have to back off...
00:21:08.70\00:21:11.87
That's good, I'm just...
00:21:11.90\00:21:13.09
Never know when
you are in the kitchen.
00:21:13.12\00:21:17.51
I didn't think when the
safety's off this one will work.
00:21:17.55\00:21:21.12
Let me just pulse it
until I think it's just chunked
00:21:21.15\00:21:24.02
small enough, I don't
want to make it into a paste.
00:21:24.05\00:21:26.89
Okay.
00:21:26.92\00:21:27.89
Okay!
00:21:27.90\00:21:28.87
But I do want to make
it a little bit smaller.
00:21:28.88\00:21:32.29
You can use it for sandwiches or
if you want to stuff a tomato,
00:21:35.47\00:21:38.87
put it on a bed of lettuce...
00:21:38.90\00:21:40.54
It makes a nice
high-protein, low-carb dish.
00:21:40.57\00:21:44.03
That looks really good.
If you can take that out
00:21:44.06\00:21:47.75
of the way we
can just serve it...
00:21:47.78\00:21:50.66
This is a very likable dish
00:22:00.69\00:22:02.00
and once you got it made up
you can keep it in refrigerator
00:22:02.03\00:22:05.18
and let it meld the flavors
overnight or within a few hours
00:22:05.21\00:22:09.38
you can us it again,
00:22:09.41\00:22:10.38
put it on a bed of lettuce serve
it as a salad or make sandwiches
00:22:10.39\00:22:13.95
with it, it's really a
very tasty dish people that
00:22:13.98\00:22:17.98
eat it because chunks
that's in it, they don't realize
00:22:18.01\00:22:21.81
it's not real meat.
00:22:21.84\00:22:23.10
So it's a good dish for a
flexitarian or someone that
00:22:23.13\00:22:27.62
doesn't want to do the meat
dish, they want to do something
00:22:27.65\00:22:30.32
different and find out that
it's a whole lot healthier, too.
00:22:30.35\00:22:34.24
That looks really nice.
00:22:34.27\00:22:36.11
A variation to this, we have
a very interesting variation
00:22:36.14\00:22:39.10
to this and it is
to use... we can make
00:22:39.13\00:22:41.65
a tuna salad out of this.
00:22:41.68\00:22:43.12
Basically doing the same
things except we add Nori sheets
00:22:43.15\00:22:48.40
that's been crunched
up and that's basically
00:22:48.43\00:22:49.77
the sea weed or
some dolts, or kelp
00:22:49.80\00:22:51.90
or some other seaweed
type flavorings and it becomes,
00:22:51.93\00:22:55.91
certainly becomes tuna fish.
00:22:55.94\00:22:57.06
Now do you use the
celery with the tuna fish?
00:22:57.09\00:22:59.18
Sometimes I do,
sometimes I don't.
00:22:59.21\00:23:01.75
I guess you probably wouldn't if
you're going to have tuna fish,
00:23:01.78\00:23:03.83
'cause you
generally wouldn't have
00:23:03.86\00:23:05.70
celery and tuna fish salad.
00:23:05.73\00:23:06.70
Okay.
00:23:06.73\00:23:07.70
We've done a lot of
recipes today. Oh, a lot.
00:23:08.42\00:23:10.43
And I feel like we've
gone real quick but we wanted
00:23:10.46\00:23:13.44
everyone to know that there are
so many alternatives out there
00:23:13.47\00:23:16.35
and not just using these
two products since there are
00:23:16.38\00:23:18.10
a lot of products, these we
found are easy, quick, simple
00:23:18.13\00:23:23.12
inexpensive and we are excited
about being able to share those
00:23:23.15\00:23:28.10
with you.
00:23:28.13\00:23:29.22
If you are not familiar with
where you can get these products
00:23:29.35\00:23:32.93
from, please contact us or 3ABN.
00:23:32.96\00:23:35.18
We are also going to put the
recipes back on roll, so that
00:23:35.21\00:23:39.00
you can catch what you missed
when we first went over them
00:23:39.03\00:23:42.42
and if you don't get
them the second time, you can
00:23:42.45\00:23:44.70
contact us or 3ABN and we'll
be happy to get them for you.
00:23:44.73\00:23:48.32
It's been a lot of fun we've had
some great time with the recipes
00:23:48.35\00:23:52.59
...and some messy times.
A man... definitely messy.
00:23:52.62\00:23:55.37
But we've given some
protein alternatives today.
00:23:55.40\00:23:58.48
And using the standard
American diet we still have
00:23:58.51\00:24:02.34
alternatives that you
can make at home very easily
00:24:02.37\00:24:05.66
and if you're wanting to
exchange your family over
00:24:05.69\00:24:08.24
and just have a day in which you
just don't do the meat products
00:24:08.27\00:24:11.56
you have an alternative.
00:24:11.59\00:24:13.35
Could have a flexi...
...flexitarian day once a week.
00:24:13.38\00:24:17.41
Okay.
00:24:17.44\00:24:18.41
Let's roll the recipes across
the screen ad we're going to
00:24:18.42\00:24:21.44

the recipes as we made them
00:24:21.47\00:24:24.79

Now back to the show.
00:26:38.49\00:26:40.26
Hi and welcome
back to Let's Cook.
00:26:44.27\00:26:46.20
I hope you now have a
little better understanding
00:26:46.23\00:26:48.85
about this flexitarian
thing and Nancy, I'd like you
00:26:48.88\00:26:51.89
to describe the
food now we prepared.
00:26:51.92\00:26:54.00
We've made a lot
of good stuff here.
00:26:54.03\00:26:56.06
First we made the Spaghetti and
Meatballs, using the Grillnz,
00:26:56.09\00:26:59.46
a Burger Mix and the from making
the Meatballs we went to make
00:26:59.49\00:27:04.98
this All-American Hamburger
- boy, does that look good -
00:27:05.01\00:27:07.95
then we made an incredible
meatloaf using the same product
00:27:07.98\00:27:11.95
and that looks for all the
world just like an All-American
00:27:11.98\00:27:15.03
Meatloaf, then we also
made the Chicky Chunks'n Rice
00:27:15.06\00:27:19.85
using the SoyAdd-ums
and yellow rice and that's a
00:27:19.89\00:27:23.56
really pretty dish, we also
used the chicken salad to make
00:27:23.59\00:27:28.97
the chicken salad sandwich
and the bar-b-que sandwich was
00:27:29.00\00:27:33.36
also made with SoyAdd-ums
- - doesn't that look tasty?
00:27:33.39\00:27:36.72
Ah, there's so many different
ways of making a flexitarian
00:27:36.75\00:27:40.56
have alternatives.
00:27:40.59\00:27:42.17
Yes, it is. We have
so many alternatives,
00:27:42.20\00:27:44.53
that look and taste
00:27:44.56\00:27:45.83
and act like the real thing
there's really shouldn't be any
00:27:45.86\00:27:48.62
problems to people
who are wanting to do that
00:27:48.65\00:27:50.08
once or twice a week.
00:27:50.11\00:27:51.33
That's right.
00:27:51.36\00:27:52.33
And we've shown you some
alternatives, we'll have some
00:27:52.34\00:27:55.30
more on upcoming shows,
we hope that you'll joins us.
00:27:55.33\00:27:57.92
Thank you so much for
joining us for Let's Cook today
00:27:57.95\00:28:00.80
and we hope that
you'll have a blessed day
00:28:00.83\00:28:04.02
and enjoy good health.
00:28:04.05\00:28:05.92
