Have you ever wondered
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
exactly how to
prepare healthy food
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.10
that actually tastes good?
00:00:04.13\00:00:05.80
Well, stay tuned
while Evita Tezeno
00:00:05.83\00:00:07.84
and you're truly Nyse Collins
00:00:07.87\00:00:09.20
show you just how to do it
00:00:09.24\00:00:10.81
and give you something
better, A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:10.84\00:00:13.94
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:31.79\00:00:34.33
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:34.36\00:00:36.56
And today we're going to
be making Walnut Meaty Balls.
00:00:36.60\00:00:41.87
Similar to meatballs but
it has no diseases in it.
00:00:41.90\00:00:48.51
It's animal free,
and it's wonderful,
00:00:48.54\00:00:52.05
it's packed with nutrients.
00:00:52.08\00:00:54.35
You know regular ground meat
has so many different viruses
00:00:54.38\00:00:59.65
and things in it and this one,
00:00:59.69\00:01:02.19
recipe has nothing of that sort.
00:01:02.22\00:01:05.36
It's from the
earth and it's rich
00:01:05.39\00:01:07.80
and it's nutrient
dense and it's yummy.
00:01:07.83\00:01:10.90
So let's go to the recipe.
00:01:10.93\00:01:12.67
I love meatballs.
00:02:09.66\00:02:13.06
I really do.
00:02:13.09\00:02:14.43
And I have been
vegetarian for a very long time,
00:02:14.46\00:02:17.40
since the '80s.
00:02:17.43\00:02:19.27
And, of course, now we have
00:02:19.30\00:02:22.04
so many different products
out there that you can buy,
00:02:22.07\00:02:26.01
prepared and readymade.
00:02:26.04\00:02:27.58
But when I
started eating more raw,
00:02:27.61\00:02:29.84
I said, "What am I going to do?"
00:02:29.88\00:02:32.78
I don't want to use a lot
of different processed foods,
00:02:32.81\00:02:35.92
so I thought and thought
00:02:35.95\00:02:37.29
and came up with
this fabulous recipe.
00:02:37.32\00:02:39.59
And so we're using walnuts.
00:02:39.62\00:02:42.92
Again walnuts is a brain
food and it's so good for you.
00:02:42.96\00:02:47.76
And I told you before
that I soak a whole lot of nuts
00:02:47.80\00:02:53.27
and I dehydrate
them, so I have my stash.
00:02:53.30\00:02:56.81
And you have to dehydrate them
00:02:56.84\00:02:58.61
till they're really, really dry.
00:02:58.64\00:03:00.74
And you could
keep them in a cupboard
00:03:00.78\00:03:02.34
but I like to keep
them in the refrigerator
00:03:02.38\00:03:05.31
to keep them fresh.
00:03:05.35\00:03:06.68
So we're starting
out with the walnuts.
00:03:06.72\00:03:11.62
And that's one cup of walnuts
and this is one cup of pecan.
00:03:11.65\00:03:15.32
And I do the same with pecans,
00:03:15.36\00:03:16.93
I soak them and dehydrate them
00:03:16.96\00:03:19.03
and I keep them
in the refrigerator,
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.16
just because.
00:03:21.20\00:03:23.10
And this is marinara sauce.
00:03:23.13\00:03:25.57
Now if you had watched
season one and season two
00:03:25.60\00:03:29.14
of Taste of Paradise,
00:03:29.17\00:03:31.74
I have used this
marinara recipe several times,
00:03:31.77\00:03:35.01
and it also will
be on the website.
00:03:35.04\00:03:37.38
And this is a
raw marinara sauce,
00:03:37.41\00:03:40.45
which is loaded with
basil, fresh basil, oregano,
00:03:40.48\00:03:45.69
wonderful deliciousness.
00:03:45.72\00:03:49.72
And we're using
Italian seasoning.
00:03:49.76\00:03:52.13
This recipe is
very, very flavorful,
00:03:52.16\00:03:54.90
so we're using a lot
of ingredients in it.
00:03:54.93\00:03:58.87
We're using cumin,
00:03:58.90\00:04:04.11
some cayenne,
00:04:04.14\00:04:10.45
lots of garlic.
00:04:10.48\00:04:11.81
I love garlic.
00:04:11.85\00:04:13.28
Look, garlic is so good for you,
00:04:13.31\00:04:17.12
fresh basil.
00:04:17.15\00:04:18.65
I have a little
small little garden
00:04:21.76\00:04:25.09
where I have fresh basil
just growing on my windowsill.
00:04:25.13\00:04:30.57
So you can grow basil anywhere.
00:04:30.60\00:04:32.87
It's just so wonderful for you.
00:04:32.90\00:04:36.24
And these are nutritional yeasts
00:04:36.27\00:04:37.81
which is like yeast
flakes, a nutritional yeast.
00:04:37.84\00:04:42.08
Flaxseed, now I'm
using golden flaxseed today
00:04:42.11\00:04:45.45
because golden flaxseed
has more nutrients in it.
00:04:45.48\00:04:49.55
You can use the brown,
00:04:49.58\00:04:50.92
whatever you
have in your cupboard.
00:04:50.95\00:04:54.59
And don't buy the
already ground flaxseed
00:04:54.62\00:04:59.26
because you don't know
00:04:59.29\00:05:00.86
how long it's
been on the cupboard,
00:05:00.90\00:05:03.47
and you don't know a
lot of things about it.
00:05:03.50\00:05:07.17
So it's best when you
get ready to use a recipe
00:05:07.20\00:05:11.54
to grind it up
yourself in a coffee grinder,
00:05:11.57\00:05:14.18
that's all you need.
00:05:14.21\00:05:15.58
We have maple syrup,
00:05:19.51\00:05:25.29
Braggs Liquid Aminos.
00:05:25.32\00:05:30.26
And this is the water
00:05:30.29\00:05:31.93
from the soaked
sun dried tomatoes.
00:05:31.96\00:05:38.13
Very, very simple recipe.
00:05:38.17\00:05:39.63
Lots ingredients, yes, but
it's really, really simple.
00:05:39.67\00:05:43.14
And then you just whiz it.
00:05:43.17\00:05:44.97
Now you have to keep whizzing it
00:05:51.55\00:05:53.25
until all the
ingredients are mixed.
00:05:53.28\00:05:57.99
So it's gonna
take a little while
00:05:58.02\00:05:59.35
you have to coax it along.
00:05:59.39\00:06:00.86
And what I'm using today,
I'm using a food processor.
00:06:14.97\00:06:18.54
You can't really use a blender
00:06:18.57\00:06:20.78
because a blender
will blend it up too much
00:06:20.81\00:06:24.91
and it'll be
really hard to maneuver.
00:06:24.95\00:06:26.92
So I'm using a
food processor today.
00:06:26.95\00:06:29.02
And whatever food
processor you have is good.
00:06:29.05\00:06:33.42
I am using a Cuisinart,
00:06:33.46\00:06:34.79
but it's whatever
you have in your home.
00:06:34.82\00:06:37.33
Okay, one more whiz.
00:06:42.93\00:06:45.33
Okay, that's ready.
00:06:52.97\00:06:55.21
Today we're using a dehydrator.
00:06:55.24\00:06:58.01
Now this recipe cannot be
used without a dehydrator.
00:06:58.05\00:07:03.15
I guess you can use,
you could make the balls
00:07:03.18\00:07:06.02
and you could eat
them without dehydrating,
00:07:06.05\00:07:08.69
but the flavor intensifies,
00:07:08.72\00:07:11.06
and you can also store
them in the freezer for later.
00:07:11.09\00:07:15.06
And you can get a dehydrator
00:07:15.10\00:07:16.87
from your local department store
00:07:16.90\00:07:18.90
but also you can
also order it online.
00:07:18.93\00:07:22.20
I'm using
Excalibur dehydrator today.
00:07:22.24\00:07:24.94
It's a nine tray,
00:07:24.97\00:07:26.31
it's one of my
favorite tools in the kitchen.
00:07:26.34\00:07:29.64
So you're gonna
take a dehydrated sheet
00:07:29.68\00:07:33.15
with Teflex sheet
and these sheets are...
00:07:33.18\00:07:36.02
'Cause they have the
this grey tray right here
00:07:41.22\00:07:45.19
and it keeps things
from seeping in, seeping out.
00:07:45.23\00:07:49.83
So you want to
just take the mixture
00:07:49.86\00:07:52.80
and just make meatballs.
00:07:52.83\00:07:57.87
You can make them large,
small, whatever size you want.
00:07:57.91\00:08:03.58
And I just wish that the
television had smellvision
00:08:03.61\00:08:09.32
because the aroma is amazing.
00:08:09.35\00:08:14.66
It is amazing.
00:08:14.69\00:08:16.02
I just wish you guys
00:08:16.06\00:08:17.39
could smell this
through your television
00:08:17.43\00:08:20.13
'cause I can
just eat the mixture
00:08:20.16\00:08:24.07
right out of the food processor.
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.40
Now you want to
take this mixture
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.97
and make all the
meatballs from this mixture
00:08:29.00\00:08:31.47
and you want to
dehydrate it for 12 to 16 hours,
00:08:31.51\00:08:35.18
basically overnight.
00:08:35.21\00:08:36.64
You could put it in
about 8 o'clock and go to bed
00:08:36.68\00:08:39.71
and wake up in the next morning
00:08:39.75\00:08:41.08
and you could
have these wonderful,
00:08:41.12\00:08:44.02
wonderful meatballs.
00:08:44.05\00:08:47.69
So because we're on television
00:08:47.72\00:08:51.59
and I have
dehydrated beforehand.
00:08:51.63\00:08:56.63
This is what they
come out to look like.
00:08:56.67\00:08:59.87
Don't they look good?
00:08:59.90\00:09:02.34
These meaty balls have
walnuts, pecans, and basil.
00:09:02.37\00:09:08.08
And they are so rich in
flavor, they're fabulous.
00:09:08.11\00:09:12.98
This has been Evita
Tezeno with a Taste of Paradise.
00:09:13.01\00:09:17.35
Live life fresh.
00:09:17.39\00:09:19.25
Mamma Mia Pita Pizza.
00:09:27.00\00:09:29.20
Now I know
you're all are thinking
00:09:29.23\00:09:30.57
like what in the world?
00:09:30.60\00:09:31.93
Yes, I said Mama
Mia but not pop a pizza.
00:09:31.97\00:09:34.14
I meant Pita Pizza.
00:09:34.17\00:09:35.50
Now I love Italian food.
00:09:35.54\00:09:38.51
Actually it's probably
like literally in my blood.
00:09:38.54\00:09:41.31
My dad actually is from Italy,
and my mom is from Tennessee
00:09:41.34\00:09:44.11
so you get that all mix
up, crazy stuff, we probably,
00:09:44.15\00:09:46.61
I mean we cook
everything in the house.
00:09:46.65\00:09:48.02
We cook lasagna, to
curry this and curry that,
00:09:48.05\00:09:51.52
and all of these things.
00:09:51.55\00:09:52.89
And matter fact, it
was such a confusion.
00:09:52.92\00:09:55.02
Sometimes we even
have like curry lasagna,
00:09:55.06\00:09:57.23
you know, don't
even try it at your home.
00:09:57.26\00:09:58.96
I'm not gonna
show you the recipe
00:09:58.99\00:10:00.33
or anything like that.
00:10:00.36\00:10:01.70
But today I want to do
something very special,
00:10:01.73\00:10:03.16
you know, because I think
00:10:03.20\00:10:04.53
this is
something that we all love.
00:10:04.57\00:10:06.27
We all love pizza.
00:10:06.30\00:10:08.07
And matter fact, it's been
proven that we all love it.
00:10:08.10\00:10:11.01
Then you have all of
these chain pizza places
00:10:11.04\00:10:13.58
and they are like
billion-dollar industries,
00:10:13.61\00:10:15.71
it's like
everybody's eating pizza.
00:10:15.74\00:10:17.58
These days they're
almost giving it away for free.
00:10:17.61\00:10:19.95
And so I'm like, "Man,
00:10:19.98\00:10:21.32
that is good
and we all love it."
00:10:21.35\00:10:23.05
But a lot of people say, "Man,
00:10:23.08\00:10:24.42
we know it's probably
not the best thing for us."
00:10:24.45\00:10:26.45
Now it's not that pizza is bad
for you or anything like that,
00:10:26.49\00:10:29.02
you know, what we'd like to do,
00:10:29.06\00:10:30.39
we like to focus
on the good things,
00:10:30.43\00:10:31.76
you know, I mean
we want to give people
00:10:31.79\00:10:33.13
something better.
00:10:33.16\00:10:34.50
And so it's not that
pizza is bad for you,
00:10:34.53\00:10:35.86
it's just that
maybe some of the products
00:10:35.90\00:10:37.37
and stuff like
that is, you know,
00:10:37.40\00:10:38.77
probably not the best
thing to use, you know.
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.80
If it was so bad, then
nobody would be eating it,
00:10:40.84\00:10:43.00
and everybody would be
dead, if they did eat it.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.37
So it's not that
it's bad, it's just that,
00:10:45.41\00:10:48.18
you know, some
of the ingredients,
00:10:48.21\00:10:49.54
you know, you get that,
00:10:49.58\00:10:50.91
of course, number one you
start with the crust there,
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.71
and it's white flour
which does taste good,
00:10:52.75\00:10:57.55
and, you know, you
can even enjoy it there
00:10:57.59\00:11:00.32
you know, 'cause it goes in soft
00:11:00.36\00:11:01.86
but there is old
principle, if it goes in soft,
00:11:01.89\00:11:04.09
sometimes it doesn't
come out the best way.
00:11:04.13\00:11:06.09
So the rule is
if it goes in rough,
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.83
it normally comes out soft,
00:11:07.86\00:11:09.20
I know we don't
want to talk about that,
00:11:09.23\00:11:10.57
we're trying to
talk about pizza,
00:11:10.60\00:11:11.93
but I have to share with you
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.30
'cause that's what
white refined products
00:11:13.34\00:11:14.67
actually do for
us unfortunately.
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.77
It makes like
that gluey consistency
00:11:16.81\00:11:18.37
when that goes
into digestive tract.
00:11:18.41\00:11:20.14
And you wondering why you know,
to go to rest room number two,
00:11:20.18\00:11:24.11
sometime it may be a problem
00:11:24.15\00:11:25.48
it's because of those
white products as they goes in
00:11:25.51\00:11:27.68
and they start to stick along
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.05
the walls of
the digestive tract,
00:11:29.08\00:11:30.89
so that's one item
00:11:30.92\00:11:32.25
that they probably
say it's not good for you.
00:11:32.29\00:11:34.16
So what do we do?
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.52
All we do is we make a
whole wheat alternative.
00:11:35.56\00:11:38.89
And so today
we're gonna do that,
00:11:38.93\00:11:40.26
but I don't have time
to be making that stuff,
00:11:40.30\00:11:41.90
so I'm gonna show you
little quick shortcut.
00:11:41.93\00:11:43.80
Another thing that
goes on to that pizza is,
00:11:43.83\00:11:47.37
you know, you have
that delicious sauce
00:11:47.40\00:11:49.17
and then you have that toppings,
00:11:49.20\00:11:50.57
you know, then
that's the danger zone.
00:11:50.61\00:11:52.27
Sometimes we put
these toppings on,
00:11:52.31\00:11:53.88
you know, you have the cheese
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.24
and what are some other items,
00:11:55.28\00:11:57.91
maybe they put some chicken
or they do some ground beef
00:11:57.95\00:12:00.52
or some people, you know,
00:12:00.55\00:12:02.08
which is not
recommended, of course,
00:12:02.12\00:12:03.72
you know we may put pepperoni
or something like that.
00:12:03.75\00:12:05.92
And so all of
these different toppings
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.86
as well may cause another issue.
00:12:08.89\00:12:10.69
So now you have
the slice of pizza
00:12:10.73\00:12:12.33
which is probably depended
on what you do put on it
00:12:12.36\00:12:15.50
or maybe 1,000,
2,000 calories sometimes.
00:12:15.53\00:12:18.13
It's just like weird
and now these pizza slices
00:12:18.17\00:12:20.34
are getting bigger
and bigger and bigger.
00:12:20.37\00:12:22.30
And so it's really hard
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.57
sometimes I guess
for us to find temperance
00:12:24.61\00:12:26.27
but today we're
gonna show a simple way,
00:12:26.31\00:12:29.21
one of my favorites
to make a Pita Pizza.
00:12:29.24\00:12:32.61
Mamma Mia, you're
gonna enjoy it as well.
00:12:32.65\00:12:34.55
And it's real simple our recipe
00:12:34.58\00:12:36.99
and as I was telling
you about that crust there,
00:12:37.02\00:12:38.92
I want to show you
something that we'll use
00:12:38.95\00:12:40.86
because I myself,
I'm running to Yvonne.
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.12
I know you all don't have
time to be like making pizza,
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.76
get in the dough going,
then put it in the oven,
00:12:45.79\00:12:48.60
then wait for this time,
make sure it doesn't burn,
00:12:48.63\00:12:51.30
you know, you've
heard that before.
00:12:51.33\00:12:52.67
Is it cooked properly?
00:12:52.70\00:12:54.04
So I got the
simple way to do that.
00:12:54.07\00:12:55.77
And I'm gonna show you
something here real quick.
00:12:55.80\00:12:57.47
All you need for our
crust is a simple pita bread.
00:12:57.51\00:13:01.78
That's it, that's all we're
gonna use whole wheat Pita,
00:13:01.81\00:13:04.15
very nice, very simple and easy.
00:13:04.18\00:13:06.28
And then we're just
gonna make the sauce
00:13:06.31\00:13:07.88
which is really
cool as, you know,
00:13:07.92\00:13:09.92
growing up in
Brooklyn, we love pizza.
00:13:09.95\00:13:12.75
And we use to go to
this one place there
00:13:12.79\00:13:14.42
and man, the pizza was so good.
00:13:14.46\00:13:16.76
The key to a good
pizza is the what?
00:13:16.79\00:13:18.96
Is the sauce. So
then it tastes so good.
00:13:18.99\00:13:21.56
One day we
grabbed the lady's hand,
00:13:21.60\00:13:23.53
you know, we
call her Mamma Bona,
00:13:23.57\00:13:25.20
that was a name like Bona.
00:13:25.23\00:13:26.57
We took her hand and
we, your hands are amazing
00:13:26.60\00:13:30.21
'cause you make
such great pizza.
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.91
So I said, I spent a
little time with her,
00:13:31.94\00:13:34.74
and I said, let me look at
some of these little things
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.61
that she does, that
makes that pizza sauce
00:13:36.64\00:13:39.45
or, you know, special
sauce they call it are so good.
00:13:39.48\00:13:42.48
And so that's one of the recipes
00:13:42.52\00:13:44.22
that we're gonna do
here today is make that sauce
00:13:44.25\00:13:46.39
'cause, look, the
pizza dough is done.
00:13:46.42\00:13:48.59
So Mamma Mia, this
is gonna be really good.
00:13:48.62\00:13:50.63
And I want you all to get
your pens and papers ready
00:13:50.66\00:13:52.83
because here it is.
00:13:52.86\00:13:54.20
Catch it real
quick while you can,
00:13:54.23\00:13:55.63
how we can make our nice
Mamma Mia Pita Pizza sauce.
00:13:55.66\00:13:59.70
And here is the
simple ingredients.
00:13:59.73\00:14:01.40
All you need is...
00:14:01.44\00:14:02.77
Dried rosemary like
is that simple or what?
00:14:28.53\00:14:31.57
This is like
amazing for you to do.
00:14:31.60\00:14:34.20
So I'm going to put those
little items here together.
00:14:34.24\00:14:36.57
And I know you
can take the tomatoes,
00:14:36.60\00:14:38.67
you can do it from scratch.
00:14:38.71\00:14:40.04
I like the tomato paste.
00:14:40.08\00:14:41.41
It's really simple,
real easy to get that going,
00:14:41.44\00:14:43.18
you just get
that in your blender
00:14:43.21\00:14:45.41
or something simple.
00:14:45.45\00:14:46.78
You take your garlic as
you see here, drop that in.
00:14:46.82\00:14:50.05
If you like
garlic, put a extra one in.
00:14:50.09\00:14:52.19
Just don't talk
to me afterwards.
00:14:52.22\00:14:55.22
Then you go ahead,
you put a little bit of,
00:14:55.26\00:14:58.23
a little bit of sugar.
00:14:58.26\00:15:00.36
This is cane sugar.
00:15:00.40\00:15:03.20
This goes ahead and gets
that nice little kick there.
00:15:03.23\00:15:06.20
Oh, man, I put a little
extra it has to taste good.
00:15:06.23\00:15:08.50
This is the special sauce.
00:15:08.54\00:15:10.11
I'm gonna put a
little bit of olive oil here.
00:15:10.14\00:15:12.27
You all know the
recommendation me,
00:15:12.31\00:15:14.71
I just like to
have fun in the kitchen.
00:15:14.74\00:15:16.14
I don't know about you.
00:15:16.18\00:15:17.51
We got to have
some oregano leaves.
00:15:17.55\00:15:19.68
Oregano is crucial.
00:15:19.71\00:15:21.05
This is going to make
everything taste good.
00:15:21.08\00:15:23.05
If I could get
this top off though,
00:15:23.08\00:15:24.95
that would be very helpful.
00:15:24.99\00:15:26.32
So we have some oregano leaves.
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.12
Oh, man, and of course,
00:15:28.16\00:15:29.59
if you have it fresh, the
better, the better, always.
00:15:29.62\00:15:32.46
Always try your best
00:15:32.49\00:15:33.83
but sometimes
it's not available.
00:15:33.86\00:15:36.20
Then I have
rosemary, rosemary leaves.
00:15:36.23\00:15:38.57
I'm gonna put a
little bit of that there.
00:15:38.60\00:15:41.70
Look at me making a mess
00:15:41.74\00:15:43.07
but this is gonna
be good Mamma Mia.
00:15:43.10\00:15:44.71
And then you got
to have some sea salt.
00:15:44.74\00:15:47.08
Look at me going
ahead, this is sea salt.
00:15:47.11\00:15:50.05
I'm gonna take a little
bit of that it should be good.
00:15:50.08\00:15:52.91
Don't worry I'm not
gonna eat it all at once.
00:15:52.95\00:15:54.98
And then you would take the...
00:15:55.02\00:15:56.72
And let me get some water.
00:15:56.75\00:15:58.09
You got to put some
water to get the consistency.
00:15:58.12\00:15:59.55
I'm gonna show you
how to make really quick,
00:15:59.59\00:16:02.09
my chef, one of my buddies.
00:16:02.12\00:16:03.83
He showed me a
simple way to do it.
00:16:03.86\00:16:05.26
You take the tomato
paste whatever the ounce is.
00:16:05.29\00:16:07.80
If it's 6 ounces or something,
00:16:07.83\00:16:09.26
you do one to one, so you
add that much amount of water.
00:16:09.30\00:16:12.27
Okay, so if you
have one, 12-ounce can,
00:16:12.30\00:16:15.07
and you want to make a big pizza
00:16:15.10\00:16:16.44
or something like that,
00:16:16.47\00:16:17.81
then you just add
12 ounces of water
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.41
like anybody can do that.
00:16:19.44\00:16:20.84
And if you want a put a
little extra ingredients,
00:16:20.88\00:16:22.54
don't worry, I won't
tell anybody, do that.
00:16:22.58\00:16:24.61
So I'm just gonna
approximate here about 6 ounces.
00:16:24.65\00:16:29.82
It depends on a
consistency you want here.
00:16:29.85\00:16:32.62
And you put those all together,
00:16:32.65\00:16:33.99
and I'm just gonna blend it
00:16:34.02\00:16:35.36
real quick for
you all, all right.
00:16:35.39\00:16:36.73
So hold tight.
00:16:36.76\00:16:38.09
All right.
00:16:51.77\00:16:54.08
So if you have a good blender
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.44
that will
actually help you as well.
00:16:55.48\00:16:56.91
And now have our pizza sauce.
00:16:56.95\00:16:59.25
I don't know if you
all can take a quick look
00:16:59.28\00:17:01.05
at that there.
00:17:01.08\00:17:02.62
This is a nice
little pizza sauce
00:17:02.65\00:17:04.69
that everybody can enjoy.
00:17:04.72\00:17:06.35
That thing is tasty.
00:17:06.39\00:17:07.79
If you want to add
some extra ingredients,
00:17:07.82\00:17:09.46
go ahead and do it yourself.
00:17:09.49\00:17:11.93
As well if you like a
different consistency,
00:17:11.96\00:17:14.03
then you just add a
little more water, okay?
00:17:14.06\00:17:16.63
But we're gonna make it
nice and thick because this
00:17:16.67\00:17:19.50
because we have our pita here.
00:17:19.53\00:17:21.00
We don't need as
much time in a oven
00:17:21.04\00:17:23.00
going ahead and baking
it and all of that stuff.
00:17:23.04\00:17:25.31
So that's gonna cook really fast
00:17:25.34\00:17:27.28
but what we're gonna do now
00:17:27.31\00:17:28.64
because it doesn't
stay in oven as long,
00:17:28.68\00:17:30.68
15, 20 minutes or
something of that nature
00:17:30.71\00:17:32.81
and it cooks much faster
within like 5 to 7 minutes,
00:17:32.85\00:17:36.75
what we're gonna do is
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.12
we're gonna do
saute some of our toppings
00:17:38.15\00:17:39.99
to get it a head
start because to bake it
00:17:40.02\00:17:43.16
and get it ready is
like really, really easy.
00:17:43.19\00:17:46.43
So what we want to do is
00:17:46.46\00:17:47.80
we want to get
that sauce pan ready
00:17:47.83\00:17:49.53
and then we
have some ingredients
00:17:49.56\00:17:50.97
for our toppings that
everybody can truly enjoy.
00:17:51.00\00:17:54.24
So here it is,
the simple ingredients
00:17:54.27\00:17:55.80
that you all love.
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.31
All you need is the...
00:17:57.34\00:17:58.67
Like really that is it.
00:18:25.93\00:18:28.30
It's that
simple, it's that easy.
00:18:28.34\00:18:30.67
Me, I'm just
looking for my ingredients
00:18:30.71\00:18:32.41
so I'm all over
a place here today.
00:18:32.44\00:18:34.21
But it's really,
you put what you like.
00:18:34.24\00:18:36.21
You like pineapple,
well, you put pineapple.
00:18:36.24\00:18:37.98
You like something else spinach
or something of that nature,
00:18:38.01\00:18:41.15
you could put that as well.
00:18:41.18\00:18:42.52
And so what we're gonna do
just to expedite the process,
00:18:42.55\00:18:44.65
we're going to saute
00:18:44.69\00:18:46.02
all of these
items here together.
00:18:46.05\00:18:47.76
And so I'm gonna start sauteing
00:18:47.79\00:18:49.39
and I'm going to
turn stove on real quick.
00:18:49.42\00:18:51.79
And you could put it on
medium heat, high heat, me,
00:18:51.83\00:18:54.46
I want this thing to hurry up,
00:18:54.50\00:18:55.83
so I'm put on high heat.
00:18:55.86\00:18:57.20
Then I'm gonna take
some of my ingredients,
00:18:57.23\00:18:58.57
if you like the red ones
you could put that there.
00:18:58.60\00:19:00.77
I'm going to
put the orange ones.
00:19:00.80\00:19:02.60
I love my onions,
00:19:02.64\00:19:04.44
so I know we
asked for certain amount
00:19:04.47\00:19:06.27
but I'm but I'm sorry,
00:19:06.31\00:19:07.64
I think I may have
put a little bit more.
00:19:07.68\00:19:09.88
And let me get a little bit
of olive oil, just you know,
00:19:09.91\00:19:12.51
if you want to saute in water
00:19:12.55\00:19:13.88
or something like that.
00:19:13.92\00:19:15.25
Now because as you notice
here we use a very little cheese
00:19:15.28\00:19:19.15
or the cheese that we're
doing as a healthful cheese.
00:19:19.19\00:19:21.26
A little additional oil
is not gonna hurt anybody,
00:19:21.29\00:19:24.43
all right.
00:19:24.46\00:19:25.79
So you go ahead.
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.16
You mix those items up.
00:19:27.20\00:19:28.53
If you want to
put in the olives,
00:19:28.56\00:19:31.27
the black ones, the green ones.
00:19:31.30\00:19:32.73
Oh, let me tell you
something about these olives.
00:19:32.77\00:19:36.30
Olives are also very good.
00:19:36.34\00:19:38.81
Of course, you know, I
work as a doctor for individuals
00:19:38.84\00:19:41.58
dealing with like, you know,
00:19:41.61\00:19:44.41
kidney problems or
whatever it actually helps deal
00:19:44.45\00:19:47.02
with the
restoration of the kidney.
00:19:47.05\00:19:49.05
So, you know, as
a little treatment
00:19:49.08\00:19:51.02
like five olives a day
will keep kidney problems away.
00:19:51.05\00:19:55.19
But, of course,
we have to find out
00:19:55.22\00:19:56.56
what is causing
the kidney problems.
00:19:56.59\00:19:59.06
So 'cause you eat all
the olives in the world
00:19:59.09\00:20:01.70
but if we're still doing things
00:20:01.73\00:20:03.06
that maybe
provoking a situations,
00:20:03.10\00:20:04.80
then it's not
gonna help, you know.
00:20:04.83\00:20:06.57
So we get that ready,
that thing is smelling good.
00:20:06.60\00:20:10.61
Oh, man, I'm loving it.
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.34
So you let that go till
it's nice and tender there.
00:20:12.37\00:20:16.28
And then we also have
00:20:16.31\00:20:17.88
as you see over
here the tomatoes,
00:20:17.91\00:20:19.55
we're gonna put those
directly on with the pizza here.
00:20:19.58\00:20:26.25
So this is Mamma
Mia's Pita's pizza.
00:20:26.29\00:20:29.49
And so as that gets
going I'm gonna go ahead
00:20:29.52\00:20:32.09
and I'm gonna get
this other stuff rolling,
00:20:32.13\00:20:34.20
my delicious, delicious
as we say in Italy delicioso,
00:20:34.23\00:20:40.14
I think, something
like that, I don't know.
00:20:40.17\00:20:41.74
Anyway it sounded good, yeah.
00:20:41.77\00:20:43.64
So you have that, you
take some of your sauce.
00:20:43.67\00:20:46.24
Matter fact, if you have
friends and family coming over,
00:20:46.27\00:20:49.31
you just make a little
extra, just take the recipe,
00:20:49.34\00:20:51.58
double it, triple it.
00:20:51.61\00:20:52.95
You put it nice
and heavy on there.
00:20:52.98\00:20:55.02
You're making your own pizza
00:20:55.05\00:20:56.38
so you don't have to
worry about anybody else.
00:20:56.42\00:20:59.09
Sometimes, when
I go to the pizza,
00:20:59.12\00:21:01.89
of course, as you know,
I don't use regular cheese.
00:21:01.92\00:21:05.93
So sometimes,
I'm stuck out there
00:21:05.96\00:21:07.86
and I try to make a
little pizza on the streets
00:21:07.90\00:21:11.83
and I tell them, "Can you
make my pizza with no cheese?"
00:21:11.87\00:21:15.37
And they look at me like, "What?
00:21:15.40\00:21:17.37
Pizza without cheese,
00:21:17.41\00:21:18.74
have you lost your mind
or something like that?"
00:21:18.77\00:21:20.54
And I said, "No,
make it without cheese."
00:21:20.58\00:21:22.78
But now when you make it
without the cheese I say,
00:21:22.81\00:21:24.95
please, put a
little extra sauce on it.
00:21:24.98\00:21:27.42
Go heavy on the sauce
00:21:27.45\00:21:28.98
because I need something
else to make up that flavor.
00:21:29.02\00:21:31.02
So I do a veggie
lovers' no cheese pizza.
00:21:31.05\00:21:33.92
So if you ever
get caught out there,
00:21:33.96\00:21:35.29
hey, you should give it a try.
00:21:35.32\00:21:36.66
And a matter
fact, one time I did it
00:21:36.69\00:21:38.49
and the guy at the
back he felt so sorry for me
00:21:38.53\00:21:41.03
because I didn't put cheese.
00:21:41.06\00:21:42.40
He says, "You know,
what? Just keep it, take it."
00:21:42.43\00:21:44.57
I say, "How much I
owe you?" He says nothing.
00:21:44.60\00:21:46.27
Free of charge.
00:21:46.30\00:21:47.64
So you don't know you may
get a little extra blessing,
00:21:47.67\00:21:50.21
not this blessing but
the financial blessing.
00:21:50.24\00:21:52.27
I'd have been favor in taking
care of your body as a result.
00:21:52.31\00:21:55.11
But when I'm
home, I like some cheese
00:21:55.14\00:21:56.71
so I'm gonna go ahead
and put this on heavy there.
00:21:56.75\00:22:00.95
And this is a cheese veggie
more fruit lover cheese pizza.
00:22:00.98\00:22:07.19
So what I'm gonna do I'm
gonna take some vegan cheese
00:22:07.22\00:22:10.39
as you see right here
00:22:10.43\00:22:12.09
and I'll show you
where I get this from.
00:22:12.13\00:22:13.63
So a little much mozzarella,
00:22:13.66\00:22:15.00
I'm gonna sprinkle it over
00:22:15.03\00:22:16.40
so I'm gonna put a
little double coat on this.
00:22:16.43\00:22:19.60
And this recipe
is gonna go very well
00:22:19.63\00:22:21.60
with those nice little meatballs
00:22:21.64\00:22:22.97
that you all had there.
00:22:23.00\00:22:24.34
You know, how when you go out,
you go off a pizza and wings
00:22:24.37\00:22:26.57
so now we have
pizza and meatballs.
00:22:26.61\00:22:28.21
I guess that works,
00:22:28.24\00:22:29.58
maybe I don't
know, give it a try.
00:22:29.61\00:22:30.95
And so this
cheese is a vegan cheese
00:22:30.98\00:22:32.71
and I'll show you here.
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.88
We have to be when we go out
and we buy like vegan cheese,
00:22:34.92\00:22:37.82
you have to, not vegan cheese
or just vegetarian cheese,
00:22:37.85\00:22:40.36
you have to read the
ingredients very closely.
00:22:40.39\00:22:43.12
I remember other day I went out
00:22:43.16\00:22:44.69
and I'm buying
like vegetarian cheese
00:22:44.73\00:22:47.33
and before I know it, I
started reading the ingredients
00:22:47.36\00:22:49.63
and I was like, oh, we
put also casein in here.
00:22:49.66\00:22:53.00
And I'm like casein?
00:22:53.03\00:22:54.54
What is casein? Milk protein.
00:22:54.57\00:22:56.84
I said that's just
defeated the purpose.
00:22:56.87\00:22:58.77
Why am I gonna
have vegetarian cheese
00:22:58.81\00:23:00.41
and then you put in
a milk protein in it?
00:23:00.44\00:23:02.31
I didn't understand that one.
00:23:02.34\00:23:03.68
I might as well just eat cheese.
00:23:03.71\00:23:05.21
So when you go and you
look at these special cheeses,
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.95
you know, these
alternative cheeses,
00:23:07.98\00:23:09.32
please read the
ingredients very closely
00:23:09.35\00:23:11.95
and make sure it's good.
00:23:11.99\00:23:13.46
And these are pretty good.
00:23:13.49\00:23:14.82
There's many
different brands out there.
00:23:14.86\00:23:16.19
Go ahead and try.
00:23:16.22\00:23:17.56
However, when
you have other people
00:23:17.59\00:23:18.93
making food for you,
00:23:18.96\00:23:20.30
healthy food is gonna cost you.
00:23:20.33\00:23:21.66
So once in a while
I said you know, what?
00:23:21.70\00:23:23.03
A lot of times I'm
here trying to be cheap
00:23:23.06\00:23:24.50
and stuff like that.
00:23:24.53\00:23:25.87
Why don't I just
enjoy a good healthy meal?
00:23:25.90\00:23:27.87
So I buy this to
celebrate, today is my birthday.
00:23:27.90\00:23:30.54
I don't know, I
celebrate everyday in life.
00:23:30.57\00:23:32.14
So here you go. So
go ahead and try that.
00:23:32.17\00:23:34.28
If you don't want to do that,
00:23:34.31\00:23:36.41
then you can just make
the cashew cheese sauce.
00:23:36.44\00:23:38.28
We made out on
numerous occasions,
00:23:38.31\00:23:39.68
I'm sure you all
may have been experts.
00:23:39.71\00:23:42.42
You just look at a
previous show or something,
00:23:42.45\00:23:44.19
and you can blend
that out with some cashews,
00:23:44.22\00:23:46.05
and some nutritional
yeasts, and different items,
00:23:46.09\00:23:47.96
and little sea salt, and
some onion and garlic powder.
00:23:47.99\00:23:51.93
And you can
sprinkle that over as well.
00:23:51.96\00:23:54.23
So what I'm going to do
now is I'm gonna go ahead,
00:23:54.26\00:23:58.07
I'm gonna take my
sauteed items here.
00:23:58.10\00:24:01.54
I'm gonna put that on
00:24:01.57\00:24:02.90
but you remember
that nice little tomato
00:24:02.94\00:24:07.31
that we went ahead and cut here?
00:24:07.34\00:24:09.18
I'm gonna go ahead
and lay that on as well.
00:24:09.21\00:24:12.05
This pizza is
gonna be like literally,
00:24:12.08\00:24:14.28
dangerously good for you.
00:24:14.32\00:24:15.65
And so I lay
that on here nicely.
00:24:15.68\00:24:17.85
So I have the cheese there,
00:24:17.89\00:24:19.22
I put the sauce,
I put the cheese.
00:24:19.25\00:24:20.86
Now I'm gonna put
my sauteed items here.
00:24:20.89\00:24:25.43
And look at me making a mess
00:24:25.46\00:24:26.80
but who cares,
we're in a kitchen.
00:24:26.83\00:24:28.56
All right.
00:24:28.60\00:24:29.93
This is the fruit
veggie lovers, you name it.
00:24:29.96\00:24:33.37
This will be good for you.
00:24:33.40\00:24:34.74
And then as you can tell,
00:24:34.77\00:24:37.87
as you can tell
I'm hungry, right?
00:24:37.91\00:24:39.24
'Cause you see I am
loading the heavier.
00:24:39.27\00:24:41.34
So now I have that,
00:24:41.38\00:24:42.71
then I'm gonna
go back to my what?
00:24:42.74\00:24:44.81
To the cheese and I'm
gonna put a little extra
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.75
and here is the
cool thing about this.
00:24:47.78\00:24:49.78
When you're eating good food,
00:24:49.82\00:24:51.35
you can go ahead
00:24:51.39\00:24:52.72
and you can celebrate
with a little extra, okay.
00:24:52.75\00:24:55.02
We don't want to
overdo it, of course, but hey,
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.69
this thing is good for
you and it tastes good.
00:24:57.73\00:25:00.80
So go ahead and enjoy.
00:25:00.83\00:25:02.20
So what we're gonna do
is we're gonna go ahead.
00:25:02.23\00:25:04.87
Put that aside here.
00:25:04.90\00:25:06.23
I'm gonna clean
up my little mess.
00:25:06.27\00:25:07.97
But before I do that,
I'm gonna take this now
00:25:08.00\00:25:10.24
and I'm gonna
put this in the oven.
00:25:10.27\00:25:12.34
And it only, you
only should bake it
00:25:12.37\00:25:14.21
for about five to
seven minutes or whatever.
00:25:14.24\00:25:16.48
Remember, you don't
need to bake it very long.
00:25:16.51\00:25:18.21
Why because the crust
already has already been made,
00:25:18.25\00:25:21.65
that's the pita bread.
00:25:21.68\00:25:23.72
And if you're
doing like a regular one,
00:25:23.75\00:25:25.09
you're gonna end up with like,
00:25:25.12\00:25:26.45
charcoal pizza
Mamma no Mia, you know.
00:25:26.49\00:25:30.66
So we take that, we're
gonna put that in the oven.
00:25:30.69\00:25:33.73
Get that ready.
00:25:33.76\00:25:35.10
And then I'm gonna get
you like the finished product.
00:25:35.13\00:25:36.90
But I got to tell you
a little something else
00:25:36.93\00:25:38.90
about that pizza,
00:25:38.93\00:25:40.70
that is actually
good for you now.
00:25:40.74\00:25:42.34
Because we put all
of those ingredients,
00:25:42.37\00:25:44.11
we found out that the what?
00:25:44.14\00:25:45.54
That the olives is good
for the kidney function.
00:25:45.57\00:25:48.78
Also it's a good item to always
fill in the meals and stuff.
00:25:48.81\00:25:52.55
I enjoy olives,
it's phenomenal, the red,
00:25:52.58\00:25:55.58
not the red, but the black ones,
00:25:55.62\00:25:57.32
the green ones,
00:25:57.35\00:25:58.69
you name it all
of them, just good.
00:25:58.72\00:26:00.06
Just make sure they haven't
been stored in like vinegar
00:26:00.09\00:26:02.46
or they haven't per say
been treated even though,
00:26:02.49\00:26:05.33
quite a bit of them are
treated, so that is good.
00:26:05.36\00:26:07.63
What else do we have in
there? We had the onions.
00:26:07.66\00:26:09.33
Onions is very good for
the upper respiratory system.
00:26:09.36\00:26:12.20
So look at this
pizza is not only as good,
00:26:12.23\00:26:14.70
taste good, but
it's also good for you,
00:26:14.74\00:26:16.30
we also put some bell
peppers if you do the red ones,
00:26:16.34\00:26:18.61
the red ones are like
booming with vitamin C.
00:26:18.64\00:26:21.28
Like who know that
you when eat a pizza
00:26:21.31\00:26:23.75
and get your vitamin C
supplement for the day.
00:26:23.78\00:26:25.95
And so like
everybody truly enjoys that
00:26:25.98\00:26:28.58
and what else?
00:26:28.62\00:26:29.95
You got the tomatoes
and stuff with the Lycopene,
00:26:29.98\00:26:32.69
good for the man, good
for everybody, you know.
00:26:32.72\00:26:34.72
It's just, you decide.
00:26:34.76\00:26:36.93
And so it's phenomenal.
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.49
But let me do this
because my time is running out.
00:26:38.53\00:26:40.60
I'm getting hungry here.
00:26:40.63\00:26:42.16
I already made a little batch
00:26:42.20\00:26:43.67
so I'm gonna go
ahead and grab that here,
00:26:43.70\00:26:45.93
as I clear up the way.
00:26:45.97\00:26:48.20
And we did a little decoration
for you to show you that
00:26:48.24\00:26:51.31
this stuff it is
good and it tastes good.
00:26:51.34\00:26:54.84
So we went ahead
and made two, you know.
00:26:54.88\00:26:58.51
I'm a healthy eater, you know,
00:26:58.55\00:27:01.02
I don't overeat
but I eat healthy,
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.35
so I went ahead and
I made two of those.
00:27:03.39\00:27:05.35
I'll have a big salad with this.
00:27:05.39\00:27:07.46
At the beginning,
00:27:07.49\00:27:08.82
I'll eat that or may finish
off with a handful of nuts.
00:27:08.86\00:27:11.83
And so, man, you
are, this is buon appetito
00:27:11.86\00:27:16.10
like enjoy your meal
or something like that.
00:27:16.13\00:27:18.07
As you see that my dad
didn't teach me Italian
00:27:18.10\00:27:20.24
but in Spanish, you know,
00:27:20.27\00:27:21.60
they would say,
you know buon in French
00:27:21.64\00:27:23.10
buon appetito or something.
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.47
This is phenomenal.
00:27:24.51\00:27:25.84
We call this stuff
Mama Mia Pita pizza
00:27:25.87\00:27:29.01
but this is the personal one,
00:27:29.04\00:27:30.55
the personal one
that you can enjoy.
00:27:30.58\00:27:32.01
And you can invite
friends and family over,
00:27:32.05\00:27:33.72
make about five or
six, seven of them.
00:27:33.75\00:27:36.22
I mean, you can just go ahead
00:27:36.25\00:27:37.92
and use like the whole
bag of pita bread, you know.
00:27:37.95\00:27:41.16
And it's really
simple, really easy.
00:27:41.19\00:27:43.73
And you decide like
00:27:43.76\00:27:45.09
how you want to
make that sauce there,
00:27:45.13\00:27:47.76
whichever way it works best
for you is good for everybody.
00:27:47.80\00:27:50.60
So that one is good.
00:27:50.63\00:27:52.13
Hey, I don't know about
you, but I'm gonna go ahead,
00:27:52.17\00:27:54.40
and I'm going to
start by an end to this day.
00:27:54.44\00:27:57.31
If you want any more,
00:27:57.34\00:27:58.77
come and see me
but it may be done.
00:27:58.81\00:28:00.38
