Have you ever wondered exactly
how to prepare healthy food
00:00:01.33\00:00:04.03
that actually tastes good? Well
stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:00:04.07\00:00:07.64
and yours truly Nyse Collins
show you just how to do it
00:00:07.67\00:00:10.67
and give you something
better, A Taste of Paradise
00:00:10.71\00:00:13.84
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
My name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:30.63\00:00:34.86
and we're gonna
have Pizza today. Yes!
00:00:34.93\00:00:38.77
Gluten free raw pizza. And
let's read our ingredients.
00:00:38.80\00:00:44.87
So what we're
doing first is our crust.
00:01:25.68\00:01:29.25
And those were the
ingredients for our crust.
00:01:29.28\00:01:32.19
So these are the buckwheat
that have been soaked overnight
00:01:32.22\00:01:36.69
Sunflower seeds that
have been soaked overnight
00:01:37.99\00:01:41.33
And this is the soaking water
from the sun dried tomatoes
00:01:43.40\00:01:47.47
Sun dried tomatoes
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.91
One date. I always
use date for sweetener
00:01:51.94\00:01:56.04
I forgot to take the pit out
of the date. Remember to always
00:01:56.08\00:02:01.28
take the pit out of the dates.
00:02:01.32\00:02:03.08
Or you'll not be
happy with the results.
00:02:03.12\00:02:05.85
And then we have flax seeds
and we have brown flax seeds
00:02:07.29\00:02:11.13
that have been
soaked also overnight
00:02:11.16\00:02:14.20
this is our onion, chopped
00:02:15.43\00:02:18.50
Fresh garlic. This
has a lot of ingredients
00:02:19.37\00:02:24.01
but it is well worth
it. It is so delicious.
00:02:24.07\00:02:28.44
This is our dried rosemary
00:02:28.48\00:02:30.75
and our salt.
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.18
We're gonna get
these things out of the way
00:02:35.92\00:02:38.32
and we're gonna process.
00:02:40.02\00:02:42.86
And you want to
process it to a smooth mixture
00:03:16.16\00:03:20.00
Today we're using our dehydrator
again. The dehydrator is
00:03:23.47\00:03:31.24
I would say like a cool oven
but it really is not an oven,
00:03:31.27\00:03:34.81
it draws the moisture out.
00:03:34.84\00:03:37.65
So we want to take
some of our mixture
00:03:40.58\00:03:46.02
and we want to spread it
00:03:48.86\00:03:50.63
on the dehydrator sheet
00:03:53.96\00:03:56.63
and we want to
dehydrate this overnight.
00:03:56.70\00:04:03.41
And because of the
miracle of television
00:04:08.08\00:04:13.11
I have the finished product.
00:04:16.15\00:04:18.59
That's what's so
amazing about raw foods.
00:04:20.16\00:04:24.76
The smell is incredible.
00:04:24.79\00:04:28.96
And now we read the
ingredients for the veggies.
00:04:29.00\00:04:34.04
In a previous episode I
showed how to spiralize zucchini
00:05:14.48\00:05:20.82
and it's done with a spiralizer
00:05:20.85\00:05:23.08
So we have the
spiralized zucchini
00:05:23.12\00:05:26.35
The bell peppers and the onions
00:05:26.39\00:05:28.99
This is the
coarsely chopped spinach
00:05:30.96\00:05:33.93
Basil and oregano
00:05:37.83\00:05:40.50
Olive oil
00:05:43.24\00:05:46.44
The salt
00:05:46.47\00:05:48.78
and two cloves of minced garlic
00:05:48.81\00:05:52.55
and you want to make
sure you mince them well
00:05:56.35\00:06:01.29
and then you want to incorporate
all of the ingredients together
00:06:03.76\00:06:08.63
and you know what I like to do
00:06:11.10\00:06:13.37
I like to use my hands
00:06:13.44\00:06:16.00
so I can really get in
there and incorporate everything
00:06:16.04\00:06:21.64
And then what
we're gonna do next
00:06:26.25\00:06:28.72
is we're gonna put
them on a dehydrator tray
00:06:28.75\00:06:35.02
and we're gonna dehydrate them
00:06:35.06\00:06:40.30
for, I would say, about 2 hours.
00:06:40.33\00:06:43.97
And you wanna make sure
they're spread out really evenly
00:06:48.30\00:06:52.24
and dehydrate them
00:06:56.31\00:06:58.71
Next we're gonna do our tomatoes
00:07:04.69\00:07:08.42
And we're gonna
thinly slice our tomatoes
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.67
Like so
00:07:20.47\00:07:23.51
You want to make
sure you get firm tomatoes
00:07:31.95\00:07:35.62
cause you don't
want them too soggy
00:07:35.65\00:07:37.89
you want to make sure
that they're very firm
00:07:37.92\00:07:42.09
You want to spread
them out in a Pyrex dish
00:07:43.83\00:07:46.46
and just combine the
ingredients the oil, the salt
00:07:54.24\00:08:01.01
the cayenne
00:08:02.28\00:08:03.68
and the seasonings, the herbs
00:08:03.71\00:08:06.51
and just mix them up
00:08:06.55\00:08:09.62
you wanna also take these
00:08:10.65\00:08:12.65
put them on a dehydrator sheet
00:08:17.79\00:08:20.03
and you want to
dehydrate them also
00:08:20.06\00:08:23.67
for a couple of hours
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.47
so we're gonna put
some more of the tomatoes on
00:08:28.54\00:08:32.84
and then stick
it in the dehydrator
00:08:33.98\00:08:36.58
And for our next recipe
00:08:38.91\00:08:42.28
Now we have our macadamia nuts
This is a very quick easy recipe
00:09:01.50\00:09:08.24
The spring onions
00:09:08.28\00:09:10.88
The nutritional yeast
00:09:10.91\00:09:13.68
The lemon juice
00:09:15.25\00:09:17.45
and the sea salt
00:09:17.52\00:09:18.85
And then we process it.
00:09:19.39\00:09:21.92
And after it's a
little grainy looking
00:09:29.63\00:09:33.27
you want to put
it in the dehydrator
00:09:33.34\00:09:35.44
for about four hours and
this is the finished product.
00:09:35.47\00:09:40.08
And now let's assemble the
pizza since we have all our
00:09:40.11\00:09:44.85
ingredients ready. You want
to start with. In the previous
00:09:44.88\00:09:50.29
episode I did a macadamia almond
cheese and you want to use that
00:09:50.32\00:09:54.26
as the base. You want
to put your tomatoes on
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.96
And these tomatoes are slightly
dehydrated and it has all
00:09:59.76\00:10:04.80
the flavors that we put on
it all the Italian seasonings
00:10:04.83\00:10:11.57
and the olive oil and the salt
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.44
and instead of using like a
pizza sauce, we're using these
00:10:14.78\00:10:19.18
tomatoes because
remember fresh is fabulous
00:10:19.21\00:10:23.75
and these are fresh tomatoes
00:10:23.79\00:10:27.32
Then you want to
put your veggies on
00:10:27.36\00:10:31.16
and last but not least
00:10:37.10\00:10:40.50
you want to put your feta cheese
00:10:42.07\00:10:47.44
Look at the colors!
00:10:47.51\00:10:50.58
Look how wonderful this is
00:10:50.61\00:10:53.25
Remember always
to live life fresh.
00:10:56.65\00:11:03.43
More peas if you
please, on brown rice that is
00:11:10.47\00:11:14.77
Now we all love some peas and
rice, some call it beans n rice
00:11:14.80\00:11:18.87
or rice and peas or
whatever you wanna call it
00:11:18.91\00:11:21.44
Just call it something, it's all
the same and they all taste good
00:11:21.48\00:11:25.08
and it's good for you. And a
lot of times you know, we would
00:11:25.11\00:11:28.88
like to make it and we would
like to make it a healthy choice
00:11:28.92\00:11:32.19
with it but sometimes we
just need to learn, you know
00:11:32.22\00:11:35.59
couple of extra dishes,
I remember a long time ago
00:11:35.62\00:11:38.96
we always loved some peas and
rice, whatever the pea it was
00:11:38.99\00:11:42.70
we just wanted pigeon peas,
kidney beans, garbanzo beans
00:11:42.73\00:11:47.40
I never really had garbanzo but
black eyed peas and just name it
00:11:47.47\00:11:51.71
we had it because sometimes
it was the cheapest thing
00:11:51.74\00:11:55.04
that we could buy you
know. You could buy a big bag of
00:11:55.08\00:11:57.98
beans, dry ones for a couple
dollars and that would last us
00:11:58.01\00:12:02.92
like the whole month, you
know what I mean. One time I got
00:12:02.95\00:12:05.59
tired of the beans so much, I
said, look mom enough is enough
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.09
I'm tired of these beans, I
think my kidneys are actually
00:12:09.12\00:12:12.03
looking like kidney
beans. It was just too much
00:12:12.06\00:12:14.73
Too much, too much would be
the cry if you eat it too much
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.73
but the key is to have
some variety and enjoy it
00:12:17.77\00:12:20.94
but then we also want to
do it with some good options
00:12:20.97\00:12:23.67
meaning the brown rice. A lot
of times we make peas and rice
00:12:23.71\00:12:27.38
we would use white rice ok.
I'm not here to say anything
00:12:27.44\00:12:30.71
is bad with the rice or anything
of that nature but we notice
00:12:30.75\00:12:33.52
there is a difference, there is
a difference. Yes it does taste
00:12:33.58\00:12:36.28
different but also we
wanna choose, yes we wanna get a
00:12:36.32\00:12:39.35
taste of that paradise but we
wanna choose better or healthier
00:12:39.39\00:12:42.36
alternatives or options. And
so that's why we wanna choose
00:12:42.39\00:12:45.86
some of that brown rice. And
that's what we're gonna actually
00:12:45.89\00:12:48.23
do today is make some of these
things but let's look at the
00:12:48.26\00:12:50.70
differences between these
rices here, if you can say that
00:12:50.73\00:12:54.70
There's the white
rice and brown rice, ok
00:12:54.74\00:12:56.67
We know the brown one is
a whole grain item which is
00:12:56.74\00:13:00.18
crucial because it
contains fiber. How can you tell
00:13:00.21\00:13:03.24
if a rice is good or not?
You just look at it closely
00:13:03.28\00:13:07.65
and when you look at it closely
you will see that it has like
00:13:07.68\00:13:10.89
some fiber, like some stuff
across it because there's a
00:13:10.92\00:13:14.26
lot of types of rice out there.
There's rice that looks brown
00:13:14.29\00:13:16.86
brown but is not brown. It's
really like white rice that has
00:13:16.93\00:13:19.46
has been treated. AKA
it's called parboiled rice
00:13:19.49\00:13:22.00
but then you wanna look at the
end of it you can see a little
00:13:22.03\00:13:25.47
clear, not clear but a little
white speck, its the germ ok?
00:13:25.50\00:13:30.27
Whole grains, we're trying
to focus on whole grains here
00:13:30.31\00:13:33.64
All whole grains in
general have three parts
00:13:33.68\00:13:37.21
there's fiber to it which
is those little specks there
00:13:37.25\00:13:41.82
then there's the germ at the
bottom and then the last part
00:13:41.85\00:13:44.79
is the endosperm or the white
rice. And that is what everybody
00:13:44.82\00:13:51.23
is used to that's what we
use to make peas and rice recipe
00:13:51.26\00:13:55.66
But what we wanna do is
use the brown one because it's
00:13:55.70\00:13:59.17
a healthy alternative. It's also
good for balancing the blessings
00:13:59.20\00:14:03.20
because of the fiber it keeps
things moving you know what
00:14:03.24\00:14:06.51
I mean. So when it's time
for number 2 you know, there's
00:14:06.54\00:14:09.14
number 1 in front and number
2 in the back, you know when you
00:14:09.18\00:14:11.48
have to go to the bathroom
there's no problem. You don't
00:14:11.51\00:14:13.52
have to be crying Lord help
me You know what I mean cause
00:14:13.55\00:14:16.25
there's strain and this and that
so we want to go ahead and use
00:14:16.28\00:14:20.26
brown rice cause it keeps things
rolling across nicely. A lot of
00:14:20.29\00:14:24.23
times we're afraid of the
brown rice. If you've ever been
00:14:24.26\00:14:26.46
to potluck before or where they
have a gathering and everybody
00:14:26.49\00:14:30.03
brings a dish, you ever notice
people will love to eat white
00:14:30.07\00:14:33.60
rice and they'll end up
calling for seconds, right?
00:14:33.64\00:14:36.07
No problem. But when it's
time for brown rice and they're
00:14:36.10\00:14:38.71
serving it out and the
sister comes with the brown rice
00:14:38.74\00:14:41.14
she's about to serve and
you say, wait sister don't put
00:14:41.18\00:14:43.21
too much. Because what
does the brown rice do?
00:14:43.24\00:14:46.35
Because of the fiber content
it does what? It expands in the
00:14:46.38\00:14:51.49
system, remember how it
keeps things moving? It expands
00:14:51.52\00:14:53.62
and gives you a
false sense of fullness.
00:14:53.66\00:14:55.76
That's the job of fiber ok. And
so as a result now when we have
00:14:55.79\00:15:00.96
the false sense of fullness
we actually eat what? Less.
00:15:01.00\00:15:04.77
You already know that, that's
why you only call for just a
00:15:04.80\00:15:08.17
little ma'am, just put a little
bit of that brown rice cause I
00:15:08.20\00:15:10.74
still want this and that
and all the rest of the other
00:15:10.81\00:15:13.24
desserts. And so what's
gonna cause the problem now
00:15:13.27\00:15:17.08
is we're gonna end up over
eating. That's why whole grain
00:15:17.15\00:15:19.38
is even better for us
because of the fiber content
00:15:19.41\00:15:23.22
And also when you look at
the white products alright
00:15:23.25\00:15:26.35
here's a simple rule of thumb
when we look at white products
00:15:26.39\00:15:29.96
if it doesn't come naturally
white stay away from it
00:15:30.03\00:15:33.50
Now what do I mean?
What comes naturally white?
00:15:33.53\00:15:35.66
You have the potatoes, yams, and
different items of that nature
00:15:35.70\00:15:40.14
different turnips and
stuff, they come white. So those
00:15:40.20\00:15:42.84
are fantastic. But while rice
in general is not grown white
00:15:42.87\00:15:46.31
it's grown as a whole
grain and then it's processed
00:15:46.34\00:15:49.18
and that's why when
you look at your white rice
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.65
you see a little cut on the
side that's where the fiber was
00:15:51.68\00:15:54.38
and then if you notice at the
tip at the end of the white rice
00:15:54.42\00:15:57.65
you'll see a little claw. Well
the claw wasn't always there
00:15:57.69\00:16:00.59
there was the germ
that used to stick in there
00:16:00.62\00:16:02.96
and so when we eat the white
rice, white bread, white flour
00:16:02.99\00:16:06.49
when it goes through digestion
it becomes like paste and
00:16:06.53\00:16:10.07
it hits the sides of the
walls of the intestine and
00:16:10.10\00:16:14.24
digestive tract, right? And
when it hits the sides it's like
00:16:14.27\00:16:17.21
almost like paste, like
glue. I have a quick question
00:16:17.24\00:16:20.38
Now you already know this.
A long time ago before glue
00:16:20.41\00:16:24.75
glue was always around,
but before we had free liberal
00:16:24.78\00:16:28.18
access to glue when you
tried to go and fly a kite, ok
00:16:28.22\00:16:32.09
what did you use to use to
stick the kite to the little
00:16:32.12\00:16:36.42
sticks, you know the little
flat thing, little paper that
00:16:36.46\00:16:39.03
goes on the to stick it. If
you didn't have glue you run
00:16:39.06\00:16:41.96
inside the house, Mommy,
Mommy can I get some white flour
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.80
and you take the white
flour and mix it with water ok
00:16:44.83\00:16:49.50
to make a little paste. You
put that there on the stick or
00:16:49.54\00:16:52.44
whatever you use and you
put the top part on it and you
00:16:52.47\00:16:56.21
let it dry a little bit and
you're out there flying the kite
00:16:56.24\00:16:59.31
because it works like glue.
00:16:59.35\00:17:01.42
What happens in the
digestive tract? Hello
00:17:01.45\00:17:04.12
Same principle. You eat it and
get the paste going and sticks
00:17:04.15\00:17:08.52
there and when its time to
go to the restroom, you're like
00:17:08.56\00:17:11.49
Lord help me. And so
watch we don't need that problem
00:17:11.53\00:17:14.36
any more if we start using
a little bit more brown rice
00:17:14.36\00:17:17.97
or different items of that
nature and so what's the rule
00:17:18.00\00:17:20.64
of the thumb? Here's the rule
of thumb again. If it doesn't
00:17:20.67\00:17:23.71
come naturally white leave it
out. Old saying, when in doubt
00:17:23.74\00:17:28.01
leave it out. I was doing a
program, it was the funniest
00:17:28.04\00:17:30.65
thing. We gotta get that recipe
cause I know y'all wanna eat
00:17:30.68\00:17:35.15
her hand. It was so funny
cause she was African American
00:17:35.18\00:17:39.65
she was a Black woman and
she waves her hand and she says
00:17:39.69\00:17:43.43
Nyse what should I do? I have a
little dilemma with this y'know
00:17:43.46\00:17:48.13
this white and brown and stuff
of that nature. Ma'am go ahead
00:17:48.16\00:17:51.73
and ask your question. The
funniest thing, she says my
00:17:51.77\00:17:54.70
husband is white, she says
do I need to get rid of him too.
00:17:54.74\00:17:59.87
I said Ma'am, Amen. Did
he come naturally white?
00:17:59.91\00:18:03.48
She said, yes. I said,
so go ahead and keep him.
00:18:03.51\00:18:05.61
Is that alright? So naturally,
it has to come naturally white
00:18:05.65\00:18:08.72
but if it doesn't come
naturally white leave it alone,
00:18:08.75\00:18:11.12
get rid of it. So what we gonna
do is we're gonna make this
00:18:11.15\00:18:14.22
simple, delicious recipe
that a lot of people enjoy
00:18:14.29\00:18:17.36
more peas with that brown
rice please and here we go
00:18:17.39\00:18:20.13
we're gonna go through
the real simple ingredients
00:18:20.16\00:18:21.80
Alright, I think that should be
pretty much easy for everybody
00:18:56.36\00:19:00.27
to do and watch this, a lot
of times I get this little buzz
00:19:00.30\00:19:04.54
people say, look I wish
I can make peas and rice
00:19:04.57\00:19:07.21
or rice and peas, I wish I
can make brown rice but it's
00:19:07.24\00:19:10.38
so hard for us to make. And the
reason why, sometimes we don't
00:19:10.41\00:19:14.38
get those measurements properly
and the next thing is they don't
00:19:14.42\00:19:18.12
know when we're cooking it or
boiling it they don't know when
00:19:18.15\00:19:22.72
to lower it down and it becomes
instead of rice it becomes mush
00:19:22.76\00:19:26.93
you know what I mean? We might
as well use chopsticks for it
00:19:26.96\00:19:29.33
instead. So what the simple rule
is, or a simple guideline is
00:19:29.36\00:19:33.34
for every 1 cup of brown rice
you wanna use at least 2 cups
00:19:33.37\00:19:38.74
of water OK? For every 1 cup of
brown rice, we just use 2 cups
00:19:38.77\00:19:43.78
of water and it's really simple.
Even better if you don't know
00:19:43.85\00:19:47.42
when to turn it off, when to
boil it, when to turn it down
00:19:47.45\00:19:50.49
and how to keep it going, we
found the easiest way to do it
00:19:50.52\00:19:53.56
why don't you just bake your
rice? Now y'all are thinking
00:19:53.59\00:19:57.33
what in the world, this man has
lost his mind, he's baking rice?
00:19:57.36\00:20:00.70
Yeah. Well if you don't know
how to do it let the oven do
00:20:00.73\00:20:03.33
do the hard work for you. And
so that's what we're gonna do
00:20:03.37\00:20:05.70
today, we're actually gonna
bake our brown rice and peas.
00:20:05.73\00:20:10.07
alright. And it's really simple.
All we need is this casserole
00:20:10.11\00:20:13.11
dish. So we have the casserole
dish here. We have our brown
00:20:13.14\00:20:17.21
rice. We're gonna line
up our brown rice in there.
00:20:17.25\00:20:20.48
We're gonna pour our brown rice.
Sometimes what people do with
00:20:20.52\00:20:26.02
the brown rice is they
dextronize it, what that means
00:20:26.05\00:20:28.96
is they kind of cook
it a little bit in advance
00:20:28.99\00:20:31.16
and if you're doing it on a
stove top what that means is you
00:20:31.19\00:20:34.36
take a saucepan, a non-stick one
or something of that nature and
00:20:34.40\00:20:37.40
you take the rice you put it
on there and you keep moving it
00:20:37.43\00:20:40.37
without adding anything and what
that does is it kinda applies
00:20:40.40\00:20:43.27
the heat and helps with
it. Makes it nice and crunchy
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.41
as well if you like that.
Then we're going to go ahead and
00:20:46.44\00:20:49.98
we're gonna take the kidney
beans. We use kidney beans
00:20:50.01\00:20:53.55
today but use any bean of
choice you know what I mean
00:20:53.58\00:20:56.92
peas or anything of that nature
this one I grabbed out of the
00:20:56.95\00:20:59.89
can here, so you can buy them
in a can. I kinda like keep a
00:20:59.92\00:21:05.16
variety of the dried ones around
you know, in big bags to save
00:21:05.19\00:21:08.86
some money and I also use the
can. Sometimes you're in a quick
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.87
bind, friends come over
and they're like we're hungry
00:21:11.90\00:21:14.84
and I'm like you have to wait
overnight till I soak the beans
00:21:14.87\00:21:18.11
and then cook them. No, no
we don't have time for that
00:21:18.14\00:21:20.54
So I like to have a couple
of cans and don't worry about
00:21:20.58\00:21:25.41
salt if you just go ahead
and rinse it off, should be fine
00:21:25.45\00:21:29.18
and enjoy it. I like to get
the generic brands as you know
00:21:29.22\00:21:32.52
we do a program called "Pinch
Your Pennies" and we gonna pinch
00:21:32.55\00:21:35.42
the penny, not let the penny
pinch us. I like the generic
00:21:35.46\00:21:38.19
brand cause if you
really notice I've researched it
00:21:38.23\00:21:40.06
a lot these are stored, not
stored, packaged and processed
00:21:40.10\00:21:44.13
in similar facilities. But when
they leave they look different
00:21:44.20\00:21:47.17
Why? One that comes with
the generic marking or labeling
00:21:47.20\00:21:50.77
and one comes with a ton of
colors and stuff of that nature
00:21:50.84\00:21:54.04
and so what happens to
the price, you're in the store
00:21:54.11\00:21:57.18
you're looking at the shelf and
you see one and it looks really
00:21:57.21\00:22:00.25
nice. You're like man, this one
must taste better. But they were
00:22:00.32\00:22:03.49
packaged in the same facility
and all it does, one has a lot
00:22:03.52\00:22:07.92
of color and one doesn't. So
if you wanna pay a little extra
00:22:07.96\00:22:10.53
for some more ink, the
product inside is the same.
00:22:10.56\00:22:14.46
Remember rule of thumb,
when in doubt leave it out?
00:22:14.50\00:22:17.67
You're not sure then grab
your own big bag of dry beans
00:22:17.70\00:22:21.84
stuff of that nature, soak them
overnight and I've shared before
00:22:21.87\00:22:25.41
couple of times, soak them
overnight then next morning
00:22:25.44\00:22:27.48
what do you do? Change
the water, wash it properly
00:22:27.54\00:22:30.35
so we don't have excess
flammable material in the
00:22:30.41\00:22:36.25
internal system. Y'all know what
I'm talkin about. Some call it
00:22:36.28\00:22:38.55
wind, some call it gas I
just like to say stay away from
00:22:38.59\00:22:42.29
flammable areas and I'm
talkin about the beans as well
00:22:42.32\00:22:45.13
and then you should be fine.
You change the water and then
00:22:45.16\00:22:49.30
you make the same recipe.
So we gonna take those beans
00:22:49.33\00:22:51.70
We're gonna pour them in
here we just have a couple
00:22:51.73\00:22:55.97
just about that can there. We're
gonna mix that up, then what
00:22:56.00\00:22:59.94
we're gonna go do, we gonna
take the rest, we want our rice
00:23:00.08\00:23:02.61
to have some flavor so we're
gonna go ahead, we're gonna
00:23:02.64\00:23:06.51
take some chopped onions,
we have some garlic over here
00:23:06.55\00:23:13.46
let me get a spoon, we're
gonna put some garlic in there
00:23:13.49\00:23:16.96
Look at this, this looks good
already and its totally not even
00:23:18.09\00:23:20.60
cooked and then we're going
to go ahead and we're gonna add
00:23:20.63\00:23:27.34
some of the spices, well
not spices, as you see here
00:23:27.40\00:23:30.71
just the herbs, we'll add the
herbs, a little bit of salt yeah
00:23:30.77\00:23:34.58
You're all like what it
this guy doing? He hasn't even
00:23:34.61\00:23:37.55
added the water. I'm trying to
leave that for the last so I'm
00:23:37.61\00:23:40.08
not like splishin and
splashin the whole place there
00:23:40.12\00:23:43.02
Ooh, I just remembered. Do you
know even with the brown rice
00:23:43.05\00:23:47.92
you can make what is
known as brown rice milk
00:23:47.96\00:23:51.43
anybody ever try brown
rice milk? It's little different
00:23:51.46\00:23:54.86
I think everybody should
give it a try. Brown rice milk,
00:23:54.93\00:23:58.23
all you have to do is when
you're cooking your brown rice
00:23:58.27\00:24:00.57
just make a little extra,
you take a cup of that with some
00:24:00.64\00:24:03.34
water blend it up with a little
bit of honey and a sprinkle of
00:24:03.41\00:24:05.51
of salt and you have brown rice
milk. I need to call a time out
00:24:05.54\00:24:08.81
You can't use this rice to make
brown rice milk cause your milk
00:24:08.84\00:24:13.42
is gonna be tasting like beans
and onions and garlic and you're
00:24:13.45\00:24:16.28
trying to eat sweet cereal I
hope. But that was just a little
00:24:16.32\00:24:19.39
tip for everybody there. Then
here it is. Now I come into the
00:24:19.42\00:24:23.66
real stuff ok? And if you have
access to fresh coconut, you
00:24:23.73\00:24:29.40
take that, grate it up, blend it
up nicely and put that in there
00:24:29.43\00:24:32.87
that is probably your best
option ok? This is where the
00:24:32.90\00:24:38.17
the flavor comes. Extra
flavor from the coconut milk
00:24:38.21\00:24:43.91
as we've been learning
through out does coconut have
00:24:43.95\00:24:47.08
cholesterol Yes or no? Not quite
because it doesn't have a liver
00:24:47.12\00:24:52.29
This doesn't actually have any
cholesterol. Look how nice and
00:24:52.32\00:24:55.69
thick that is. One person's
like, you should just cook it
00:24:55.72\00:24:57.66
like that. But it's not gonna
cook properly because brown
00:24:57.69\00:25:00.26
rice needs proper cooking and
then you remember our conversion
00:25:00.33\00:25:03.80
Two cups of water for every
cup of rice and you pour that
00:25:03.87\00:25:12.41
in there. So we have two cups
of rice so what do we have here
00:25:12.44\00:25:16.34
we have 4 cups of
water. And then voila!
00:25:16.38\00:25:20.02
Y'all are like man,
what in the world is that?
00:25:20.05\00:25:23.79
That's just how it starts ok?
What you do is you take this now
00:25:23.82\00:25:27.26
Remember we're gonna do
this in the oven, you take this
00:25:27.29\00:25:30.13
you get a, where's my stuff
at? You take some aluminum foil
00:25:30.16\00:25:34.00
You're gonna
cover that nicely there
00:25:34.00\00:25:36.83
and we're gonna put
this in the oven, alright?
00:25:37.83\00:25:40.50
So hold tight. You
gonna put this on low heat
00:25:40.54\00:25:43.67
Not low heat but you're
gonna get the oven to 350F
00:25:43.71\00:25:46.74
Before I get that rolling
there I'm gonna grab my finished
00:25:49.18\00:25:51.85
product. You put that at
350 and in about 1.5 to 2 hours
00:25:51.88\00:25:55.32
y'all are like, it's just
too long that's why I don't like
00:25:55.35\00:25:57.45
brown rice cause it takes
too long to cook. But actually
00:25:57.49\00:26:00.42
it's a good thing
because it's whole grain, right?
00:26:00.49\00:26:02.56
And these whole grains
need proper cooking. So I wanna
00:26:02.59\00:26:05.29
encourage you to do that and
for those who didn't like the
00:26:05.33\00:26:07.60
brown rice cause whoever cooked
it undercooked it, so you're
00:26:07.66\00:26:10.67
trying to eat it and you're like
you know you're struggling there
00:26:10.70\00:26:13.94
cause the brown rice is
so hard. But it needs proper
00:26:13.97\00:26:16.47
cooking and there's the old rule
of thumb, if you wanna learn
00:26:16.50\00:26:19.54
how to do something just follow
the people who are successful
00:26:19.57\00:26:21.88
in it. Who eats the most rice
in the world, who are like the
00:26:21.91\00:26:25.05
kings of rice? Then you go
to far east Asia and they're the
00:26:25.08\00:26:28.55
kings of rice. How do they
eat their rice, do they eat it
00:26:28.58\00:26:30.49
grainy and stuff? Not quite.
They eat it kinda like mushed up
00:26:30.52\00:26:34.36
together or whatever because
the starch or grain has been
00:26:34.39\00:26:37.79
properly cooked. Now I'm
not saying we should all have
00:26:37.83\00:26:40.50
sticky rice or whatever. But
hey maybe we can learn something
00:26:40.53\00:26:44.03
from them. So keep that in
mind and then let me pull out my
00:26:44.07\00:26:47.70
other one here. This one
has already been done for you
00:26:47.74\00:26:52.14
Ok, this is what it looks
like when it comes out ok?
00:26:52.17\00:26:56.85
And what I like to do I like
to fix it up nice because I know
00:26:56.91\00:27:00.55
I have some friends and family
they're like brown rice, you
00:27:00.58\00:27:04.05
and this brown stuff all
the time. They're complaining
00:27:04.12\00:27:08.32
now but God forbid if something
happened, they're gonna call
00:27:08.36\00:27:10.39
back. They always call me
a rabbit. You just eat like a
00:27:10.46\00:27:12.99
rabbit, just brown stuff.
And green stuff, but that's fine
00:27:13.03\00:27:17.30
Let them make fun of you. Don't
worry they'll come knocking
00:27:17.37\00:27:20.34
on your door, God forbid
some thing happens to them
00:27:20.37\00:27:22.20
So you have to really make
it look nice. What you do is
00:27:22.24\00:27:26.01
just take that there,
put it in a nice little dish
00:27:26.04\00:27:28.38
sprinkle a little, what do
we have here, uh some parsley
00:27:28.41\00:27:31.15
and stuff of that nature. Just
sprinkle some parsley over it
00:27:31.18\00:27:35.05
What else do I like here? I
wish I had some, you can even
00:27:35.08\00:27:38.29
put some paprika or something.
Just sprinkle it over there
00:27:38.32\00:27:43.32
and before you know it, they're
like what, look at the chef
00:27:43.36\00:27:46.56
man, we didn't know you could
cook up a storm and stuff of
00:27:46.59\00:27:49.70
that nature and you know what, I
really can't so I just stick it
00:27:49.73\00:27:52.83
in the oven, I let the
oven do the cooking for me
00:27:52.87\00:27:54.57
Well go ahead, give
yourself some more peas,
00:27:54.60\00:27:56.87
with that brown rice, please.
00:27:56.91\00:27:58.74
And enjoy it!
00:27:58.77\00:28:00.21
