Welcome to "A
Taste of Paradise",
00:00:15.41\00:00:17.39
my name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:17.42\00:00:19.85
And, you know, you
heard the story before,
00:00:19.88\00:00:21.75
I've grown up in the south.
00:00:21.78\00:00:23.50
And we used to have a
pecan tree in our backyard
00:00:23.53\00:00:26.51
and every fall I used
to go out and pick pecans.
00:00:26.54\00:00:31.35
And my
grandfather and my grandmother
00:00:31.38\00:00:33.38
and I would sit around
and we would peel pecans,
00:00:33.41\00:00:35.69
it was like a family thing.
00:00:35.72\00:00:37.20
It was so much fun
and I have never ever
00:00:37.23\00:00:42.80
lost my love for
pecans, I just love them.
00:00:42.83\00:00:45.72
So I try to come up
with different recipes
00:00:45.75\00:00:49.00
that contain pecans and I have
one for you today, honeychild.
00:00:49.03\00:00:54.29
I have a amazing ooey
gooey southern pecan bar.
00:00:54.32\00:01:01.70
That is fabulous and it is
going to set your mind on fire,
00:01:01.73\00:01:08.35
it is so amazing.
00:01:08.38\00:01:11.70
So let's read the recipe.
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.88
For the topping you need...
00:01:16.92\00:01:19.28
So we're going to
start with topping first
00:02:04.91\00:02:07.89
and we have our
pecans which I love, this is,
00:02:07.92\00:02:13.62
I think this is one
of my favorite nuts.
00:02:13.65\00:02:15.74
And we have our maple
syrup and if you don't have
00:02:18.57\00:02:21.63
maple syrup you can use honey.
00:02:21.66\00:02:23.43
But I love the
smokiness of maple syrup
00:02:23.46\00:02:27.46
I really, really like that.
00:02:27.49\00:02:30.42
And vanilla extract and
when using vanilla extract
00:02:30.45\00:02:33.30
make sure you read your labels
00:02:33.33\00:02:34.79
because a lot of the
vanilla has alcohol in it.
00:02:34.82\00:02:38.76
So you want to make
sure that you're getting
00:02:38.79\00:02:41.83
a pure variety of vanilla.
00:02:41.86\00:02:47.54
And then we have our salt.
00:02:47.57\00:02:49.55
And salt balances the
flavor and sweetening,
00:02:49.58\00:02:54.77
so I like to add a little salt.
00:02:54.80\00:02:56.96
But if you have
high blood pleasure
00:02:56.99\00:02:58.90
and you are on a low salt diet
you can not put the salt in.
00:02:58.93\00:03:03.36
It's just a little add.
00:03:03.39\00:03:05.39
So we're going to put
this aside for a minute
00:03:05.42\00:03:08.09
and then we're going
to go on to our crust.
00:03:08.12\00:03:12.19
So now we're going to use
cashew flour and cashew flour
00:03:12.22\00:03:16.08
is just cashews
ground up in the processor,
00:03:16.11\00:03:19.03
it's real simple
that's how you make nut flour.
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.89
And this is kind of
a flour so to speak.
00:03:21.92\00:03:26.16
But we're using
cashews it is a lighter nut
00:03:26.19\00:03:28.54
so it gives a light crust.
00:03:28.57\00:03:33.08
Then we have our
cardamom and our coriander
00:03:33.11\00:03:36.07
which is a
substitute for cinnamon.
00:03:36.10\00:03:40.79
And I like to
incorporate the flavors,
00:03:40.82\00:03:42.77
so I'm going to mix
that around a little bit.
00:03:42.80\00:03:44.59
And then our vanilla extract.
00:03:50.17\00:03:53.51
And while the processor is going
00:04:03.51\00:04:06.46
I am going to mix in the honey.
00:04:06.49\00:04:10.12
So here's our crust.
00:04:39.29\00:04:42.91
We get these out of the way.
00:04:42.94\00:04:44.50
And we're going to put
our crust in a Pyrex pan
00:04:53.86\00:04:57.80
and I have lined it
with parchment paper.
00:04:57.83\00:05:00.75
You can oil it
with a coconut oil
00:05:00.78\00:05:05.36
but what I found
out it still sticks
00:05:05.39\00:05:07.90
so I have lined it with
parchment paper to make it
00:05:07.93\00:05:10.97
a little easier to get--
00:05:11.00\00:05:12.98
To remove after you have
your, your bars finished.
00:05:13.01\00:05:17.04
So you have to use your
hands and just press this out.
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.22
And this is a
real easy quick recipe.
00:05:30.50\00:05:34.84
It is so good and so tasty.
00:05:34.87\00:05:39.52
Use this to smooth it
out a little bit more.
00:05:39.55\00:05:44.12
And it doesn't have to be
all completely at the bottom.
00:05:49.40\00:05:55.41
But you want to at least
have a good portion of it
00:05:55.44\00:05:59.18
spread kind of evenly.
00:05:59.21\00:06:01.35
So what I'm going
to do with this now
00:06:05.40\00:06:08.35
is stick this into freezer
00:06:08.38\00:06:11.49
and let it set for a little bit.
00:06:11.52\00:06:13.07
And gets a little more this out.
00:06:17.32\00:06:19.29
It is really gluey and sticky.
00:06:22.68\00:06:25.19
Okay, I'm going
to go to freezer,
00:06:30.77\00:06:33.97
pop it in the freezer.
00:06:34.00\00:06:35.27
And now we're going
to do our date paste
00:06:42.55\00:06:45.97
which is like the filling.
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.58
So we're going
to use our vitamix.
00:06:54.08\00:06:58.93
And we have my favorite
date is the medjool dates
00:06:58.96\00:07:03.62
and they have been pitted.
00:07:03.65\00:07:05.29
And we have some
more vanilla extract
00:07:10.04\00:07:12.50
this is loaded with vanilla
00:07:12.53\00:07:14.12
because it's loaded with flavor,
00:07:14.15\00:07:16.32
what really good flavor.
00:07:16.35\00:07:19.28
And we have our water.
00:07:19.31\00:07:20.75
And this is the filling so now
I am going to go get our crust.
00:08:13.58\00:08:20.74
And you really want the crust
to set for about 30 minutes.
00:08:27.40\00:08:31.21
But we don't have
that much time right now
00:08:31.24\00:08:33.96
so we're going to
pretend that has been
00:08:33.99\00:08:36.05
setting for 30 minutes.
00:08:36.08\00:08:40.24
And we take our date paste
00:08:40.27\00:08:43.66
and we just smooth
it out over the crust.
00:08:43.69\00:08:50.11
And if you don't have a blender
00:08:53.91\00:08:55.60
you can also use
a food processor,
00:08:55.63\00:09:01.04
it's much easier,
00:09:01.07\00:09:03.26
whatever you
have in your kitchen.
00:09:03.29\00:09:04.98
I love dates because
dates are natural sweetener.
00:09:08.68\00:09:12.89
So it helps you when
you have a sweet tooth.
00:09:12.92\00:09:18.61
Sometimes I eat a date just,
00:09:18.64\00:09:20.83
just for desert
instead of grabbing something
00:09:20.86\00:09:24.89
sugary sweet, I'd grab a date.
00:09:24.92\00:09:29.48
And that
satisfies my sweet tooth.
00:09:29.51\00:09:31.98
So after this is all
spread out in your pan...
00:09:37.91\00:09:44.81
Do a little bit more.
00:09:54.75\00:09:56.67
Then you take your pecans...
00:10:02.19\00:10:04.00
and I like to press
them down into the curst
00:10:17.16\00:10:21.29
and the date paste.
00:10:21.32\00:10:22.90
And then I stick this into
the refrigerator or freezer
00:10:34.06\00:10:38.14
and let it set for
about maybe an hour or so.
00:10:38.17\00:10:44.12
And then you cut them
00:10:44.15\00:10:45.18
and I have a
amazing finish product.
00:10:45.21\00:10:48.13
Look at these
bars, these are amazing.
00:10:56.31\00:11:01.11
And I can't wait, I
am going to eat one.
00:11:01.14\00:11:04.33
You see they are very
gooey, very ooey and gooey.
00:11:04.36\00:11:09.13
Let's see how they taste.
00:11:09.16\00:11:10.32
Wow, this is so good.
00:11:13.87\00:11:19.40
This incorporates pecans,
00:11:19.43\00:11:23.08
dates, cashews my favorite.
00:11:23.11\00:11:29.12
Oh, wonderful this has
been another fabulous recipe
00:11:29.15\00:11:33.58
from the kitchen
of Taste of Paradise.
00:11:33.61\00:11:36.21
And remember to live life fresh.
00:11:36.24\00:11:39.91
Welcome back A
Taste of Paradise,
00:11:46.53\00:11:48.38
you just had some
delicious ooey gooey
00:11:48.41\00:11:50.67
something down
there in the down south
00:11:50.70\00:11:52.42
that Evita does specially.
00:11:52.45\00:11:53.85
Well, we're going to
take it to the next level
00:11:53.88\00:11:56.93
or a little
further south all the way,
00:11:56.96\00:12:00.80
we're going to
fly all the way to JA,
00:12:00.83\00:12:03.48
yes, I said JA for
anybody know what JA is?
00:12:03.51\00:12:05.96
We're talking about Jamaica
and when you think of Jamaica
00:12:05.99\00:12:08.40
you think of the Caribbean,
you think of good food.
00:12:08.43\00:12:12.23
However when I think of Jamaica,
00:12:12.26\00:12:14.71
I think of some really
good items in particular
00:12:14.74\00:12:17.51
and I'm talking
about patties, yes.
00:12:17.54\00:12:19.57
Some good Jamaican beef pattie,
00:12:19.60\00:12:23.02
but of course, you
know, on Taste of Paradise
00:12:23.05\00:12:25.36
we are not doing no beef
pattie and stuff like that.
00:12:25.39\00:12:28.90
We're going to
make a good healthy one
00:12:28.93\00:12:30.88
that you can try
for yourself today
00:12:30.91\00:12:33.30
and I wouldn't make
it, I would make it,
00:12:33.33\00:12:35.91
but I had to bring in
the Jamaican specialist,
00:12:35.94\00:12:39.12
our very own
consultant Donna Maria Lindsey.
00:12:39.15\00:12:42.77
Donna, what's going on?
00:12:42.80\00:12:44.41
Nothing much, nice to be here.
00:12:44.44\00:12:45.47
Everything
good? Everything irie.
00:12:45.50\00:12:47.87
Everything irie, all right.
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.50
For you, oh, you know,
that's just good patois
00:12:49.53\00:12:55.09
as they were saying.
00:12:55.12\00:12:56.52
So I have to get Donna will
come back fellowship with us
00:12:56.55\00:13:00.78
and make some good
patties and stuff like that.
00:13:00.81\00:13:03.24
You know, I could probably
do it I am from the island,
00:13:03.27\00:13:05.17
you know island I'm from right?
00:13:05.20\00:13:06.47
You could try nice
I wouldn't say that,
00:13:06.50\00:13:08.54
doesn't stretch if
you could probably do it.
00:13:08.57\00:13:10.33
We call our haters,
we call our haters, yeah.
00:13:10.36\00:13:12.65
I am from island of
Brooklyn and there are
00:13:12.68\00:13:15.27
so many Jamaicans in Brooklyn,
but you are not from Brooklyn?
00:13:15.30\00:13:18.90
No. Where you are from?
00:13:18.93\00:13:20.55
Well, I was living in
Arizona for several years
00:13:20.58\00:13:23.60
before I moved
over to Berrien Springs,
00:13:23.63\00:13:25.56
so right now in Berrien
Springs before I was in Arizona.
00:13:25.59\00:13:28.59
So nowhere near to Brooklyn.
00:13:28.62\00:13:30.41
So you're
talking about the island.
00:13:30.44\00:13:32.13
We are talking
about the states, Donna.
00:13:32.16\00:13:33.85
Of course.
00:13:33.88\00:13:35.04
What part of
JA, you are from JA?
00:13:35.07\00:13:37.94
Yes. What part?
00:13:37.97\00:13:39.28
Kingston.
Kingston, what watch it now.
00:13:39.31\00:13:41.71
You know, Kingston,
that's the serious area there.
00:13:41.74\00:13:44.64
I actually flew
to Kingston one time,
00:13:44.67\00:13:46.55
spent a little time there
went over the Spanish town
00:13:46.58\00:13:48.64
and stuff so...
00:13:48.67\00:13:49.77
But there is one thing
00:13:49.80\00:13:51.15
even if I'm not from
Jamaica, that everybody know
00:13:51.18\00:13:54.24
Jamaica is good for and
it's for the beef pattie.
00:13:54.27\00:13:56.99
Of course that is true.
00:13:57.02\00:13:58.56
We are known, well,
that's one of the things
00:13:58.59\00:14:00.49
that I love about, you
know, our food there in Jamaica,
00:14:00.52\00:14:03.44
beef patties.
00:14:03.47\00:14:04.50
All right.
00:14:04.53\00:14:05.56
And if anyone is watching
this they will probably be like,
00:14:05.59\00:14:07.52
yeah, I know she would be up
00:14:07.55\00:14:09.07
to some beef patties
or something like that.
00:14:09.10\00:14:11.13
Right.
00:14:11.16\00:14:12.19
You know, not at only beef
but, you know, it's good to find
00:14:12.22\00:14:14.88
a good way to make
some of your favorites
00:14:14.91\00:14:17.03
in a little healthier, a
little better version of it.
00:14:17.06\00:14:19.46
Good, good well,
you know there's--
00:14:19.49\00:14:20.62
There's beef patties and
then there's veggie patties
00:14:20.65\00:14:23.69
and spinach patties and
you fix up all kind of stuff.
00:14:23.72\00:14:27.22
But today we're going to
show you two simple recipes.
00:14:27.25\00:14:29.82
Hopefully we could
get to the second one.
00:14:29.85\00:14:31.12
But the first one maybe so good,
00:14:31.15\00:14:32.63
I may not even
do that second one.
00:14:32.66\00:14:34.07
But the first one we're
going to make some what?
00:14:34.10\00:14:36.32
Some vegan beef patties.
So we're going to try and do--
00:14:36.35\00:14:39.76
Use a little
substitute for beef.
00:14:39.79\00:14:41.62
All right.
00:14:41.65\00:14:42.68
I'm using some
vegan crumbles and then,
00:14:42.71\00:14:44.86
you know, usual
seasoning of course I have my
00:14:44.89\00:14:46.90
special secret ingredient.
00:14:46.93\00:14:48.64
You have a secret ingredient?
00:14:48.67\00:14:50.07
Yes I have a secret ingredient.
Have mercy, have mercy.
00:14:50.10\00:14:52.14
But we're going
to get to the secret
00:14:52.17\00:14:54.64
special
ingredient here for you all.
00:14:54.67\00:14:57.57
And here is the simple
recipe for the fly away
00:14:57.60\00:15:01.37
to the JA beef
pattie, here is the recipe.
00:15:01.40\00:15:04.48
All you need is, as you
see this is for fillings.
00:15:04.51\00:15:08.11
You just need...
00:15:08.14\00:15:09.19
So here it is
simple-- I would say simple
00:16:16.84\00:16:19.85
but it's quite a few items.
00:16:19.88\00:16:21.12
How do we get this
beef pattie started?
00:16:21.15\00:16:23.17
You said what.
00:16:23.20\00:16:24.33
Yes, so what we're
going to do is we want to turn
00:16:24.36\00:16:26.73
the flame on of course.
00:16:26.76\00:16:27.79
Okay.
00:16:27.82\00:16:28.85
Right and what I
want to do first,
00:16:28.88\00:16:31.30
can we put a little
oil there in the pan.
00:16:31.33\00:16:32.82
So we're going to put
some oil here in the pan here
00:16:32.85\00:16:35.85
and then you said we
have some vegan crumbles here.
00:16:35.88\00:16:38.74
Some vegan crumbles. Okay.
00:16:38.77\00:16:40.63
So go ahead and
put that in there.
00:16:40.66\00:16:42.32
All right, and you wanted
to add anything else here?
00:16:42.35\00:16:45.28
We can start with
this. So we have some onion.
00:16:45.31\00:16:49.02
So you chopped up the
onion and stuff there,
00:16:49.05\00:16:51.04
you sure there is no garlic?
00:16:51.07\00:16:52.10
No, there is no garlic in there.
00:16:52.13\00:16:53.23
All right, so we have
some onion and what else?
00:16:53.26\00:16:55.03
Right, we also have
some-- Let's add our seasonings
00:16:55.06\00:16:59.97
going with
starting with our thyme.
00:17:00.00\00:17:02.20
All right, so we're
going to have our thyme.
00:17:02.23\00:17:03.79
So you want to
put that in there.
00:17:03.82\00:17:04.85
I'll just go ahead
and keep mixing up.
00:17:04.88\00:17:06.62
So we have thyme, when
do I put in the crumbles?
00:17:06.65\00:17:09.18
When it starts to
sizzle a little bit.
00:17:09.21\00:17:10.83
So let's start to--
Let it to cook down some.
00:17:10.86\00:17:13.44
So we're going to mix
in, you have the onion
00:17:13.47\00:17:15.42
and garlic powder, what else?
00:17:15.45\00:17:17.38
Onion powder.
00:17:17.41\00:17:18.67
All right.
00:17:21.34\00:17:22.99
So we have that going.
00:17:23.02\00:17:24.10
Well, nothing is
going on nice, is it on?
00:17:24.13\00:17:25.81
Wait, wait, do you
know, this stove taking time.
00:17:25.84\00:17:30.13
Take time to be
holy, sister Donna, amen.
00:17:30.16\00:17:34.05
All right, okay.
So, you know what?
00:17:34.08\00:17:35.46
Let's just add it
because it's taking for forever,
00:17:35.49\00:17:37.79
so let's just mix it all in.
00:17:37.82\00:17:39.36
All right, all right.
00:17:39.39\00:17:40.56
This stove can't believe
that it's making beef pattie.
00:17:40.59\00:17:44.30
So here it is so
we got that going,
00:17:44.33\00:17:45.84
it's coming along.
00:17:45.87\00:17:47.39
And then we're going to
add some of the veggie crumble.
00:17:47.42\00:17:50.56
Yes, go ahead
and add some of that.
00:17:50.59\00:17:52.28
So we're going to
have the veggie crumble.
00:17:52.31\00:17:54.85
Now do I have to crush it up or?
00:17:54.88\00:17:56.55
Yes, you want to break
it up so that, you know,
00:17:56.58\00:17:59.41
it's completely
mixed together the onions
00:17:59.44\00:18:01.84
and all the little
seasonings there are, you know,
00:18:01.87\00:18:04.46
well mixed together.
00:18:04.49\00:18:05.59
Okay.
00:18:05.62\00:18:06.65
So they are try
and get the onions
00:18:06.68\00:18:07.98
into the crumbles there.
00:18:08.01\00:18:09.62
All right, let me throw this,
00:18:09.65\00:18:11.17
you want to throw that away?
00:18:11.20\00:18:12.69
Now this crumble you
can find them at many,
00:18:12.72\00:18:16.79
at many markets,
many super markets, yeah.
00:18:16.82\00:18:21.76
Local places the
coolest thing is a lot--
00:18:21.79\00:18:24.60
A lot of super
markets are carrying
00:18:24.63\00:18:27.62
vegan veggie products though.
00:18:27.65\00:18:28.75
Right, so your
local grocery stores
00:18:28.78\00:18:31.64
usually you'll find it
in the refrigerated section
00:18:31.67\00:18:33.81
along with the
tofu or those items
00:18:33.84\00:18:38.22
there is usually
right next to it.
00:18:38.25\00:18:39.76
So you'll find it and you can
actually find a vegan version
00:18:39.79\00:18:42.72
it will say right
there on the label vegan.
00:18:42.75\00:18:44.65
So you can definitely
find that option there
00:18:44.68\00:18:47.94
it's easy is find.
00:18:47.97\00:18:49.03
All right, so that,
00:18:49.06\00:18:50.47
so that's getting
along there nicely
00:18:50.50\00:18:52.51
so we have the vegan crumbles.
00:18:52.54\00:18:53.89
All right, we can
add the beef style
00:18:53.92\00:18:57.27
and the tomato.
00:18:57.30\00:18:58.86
All right, so the
beef style and tomatoes.
00:18:58.89\00:19:00.66
Man, I don't remember...
00:19:03.05\00:19:04.28
That's going to help too.
When I used to eat beef pattie.
00:19:04.31\00:19:06.60
Well, guess what,
there is a little story
00:19:06.63\00:19:08.76
about these things
here because usually we have
00:19:08.79\00:19:10.99
traditional just the beef pattie
00:19:11.02\00:19:12.48
and there is a little
company of those in Jamaica
00:19:12.51\00:19:14.59
they know what's going on
00:19:14.62\00:19:15.72
and that kind of
weren't doing so well.
00:19:15.75\00:19:17.88
Well, they made a
comeback using, you know,
00:19:17.91\00:19:20.32
one of my key
ingredients here a little cheese
00:19:20.35\00:19:23.54
and then they
started to doing all these
00:19:23.57\00:19:25.96
different verities of pattie.
00:19:25.99\00:19:27.42
So we don't just have, you know,
00:19:27.45\00:19:29.26
straight beef but
we have, you know,
00:19:29.29\00:19:31.38
different things that add to it.
00:19:31.41\00:19:33.16
You know, weather it's tomatoes,
00:19:33.19\00:19:35.28
the lettuce, cheese.
00:19:35.31\00:19:36.68
They call it's a
full house pattie,
00:19:36.71\00:19:38.18
so we're trying to
like full house thing here.
00:19:38.21\00:19:40.61
So I used to be in
empty house pattie?
00:19:40.64\00:19:43.70
Well, I didn't say all of that,
00:19:43.73\00:19:45.65
but you can read in between.
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.08
So this is a full house
pattie we're making here.
00:19:47.11\00:19:48.99
Full house pattie.
00:19:49.02\00:19:50.36
Taste of Paradise, the
vegan pattie, all right.
00:19:50.39\00:19:53.51
So you want to
add some beef style
00:19:53.54\00:19:55.83
and you can
probably pour that in there.
00:19:55.86\00:19:59.60
You can probably
get a little water
00:19:59.63\00:20:01.14
it's a kind of help that to...
00:20:01.17\00:20:02.30
All right, so we'll
grab some water there.
00:20:02.33\00:20:03.88
So watch this I am
getting the full house.
00:20:03.91\00:20:06.47
They used to server me
half house, empty house,
00:20:06.50\00:20:09.87
one bedroom house patties,
now we're getting a full house.
00:20:09.90\00:20:12.79
How many bedrooms?
00:20:12.82\00:20:13.85
And we can begin to
smell all the flavors
00:20:13.88\00:20:15.78
coming together right now.
00:20:15.81\00:20:17.36
I mean, I was like, man,
00:20:17.39\00:20:19.99
this tastes like
there I say beef, but...
00:20:20.02\00:20:23.85
This is the real deal here, huh?
00:20:23.88\00:20:25.80
Right. Very nice.
00:20:25.83\00:20:27.58
So its coming
together very nicely
00:20:27.61\00:20:29.10
you want to make sure
00:20:29.13\00:20:30.16
it's cooked down
well and let's go ahead
00:20:30.19\00:20:34.04
and add...
00:20:34.07\00:20:35.54
All right, well, I got
to make sure, you know,
00:20:35.57\00:20:37.18
how the seasonings
and stuff usually stick
00:20:37.21\00:20:39.30
to that, all right.
00:20:39.33\00:20:40.65
So, go ahead--
What else we got here?
00:20:40.68\00:20:42.40
A little cheese.
00:20:42.43\00:20:43.46
So this is the last
thing and then we're going
00:20:43.49\00:20:45.26
to move it from
the flame because--
00:20:45.29\00:20:46.58
Okay.
00:20:46.61\00:20:48.11
Yeah, and then I have
to get maybe the veggies...
00:20:48.14\00:20:50.72
So, we need to
make our other filling.
00:20:50.75\00:20:53.79
Can I pour it? Yeah.
00:20:53.82\00:20:56.32
So this is the daiya cheese,
00:20:56.35\00:20:58.21
this is the vegan cheese
it's made for what cassava?
00:20:58.24\00:21:01.43
Yes, some tapioca. Oh, tapioca.
00:21:01.46\00:21:04.26
Right. Go ahead.
00:21:04.29\00:21:05.32
And then its-- I don't
think there is any soy in it.
00:21:05.35\00:21:07.85
So it's very, you know,
for persons who are trying
00:21:07.88\00:21:09.61
to stay away from the
soy and stuff that it that
00:21:09.64\00:21:11.65
I'm trying to say if you want--
00:21:11.68\00:21:12.89
You trying to go
in that direction.
00:21:12.92\00:21:14.04
Okay.
00:21:14.07\00:21:15.10
Not to say that anything
is wrong with the soy but,
00:21:15.13\00:21:17.12
you know, some persons
are trying to, you know,
00:21:17.15\00:21:20.24
cut back on, you
know, the soy part,
00:21:20.27\00:21:21.94
it's that they come sealed.
00:21:21.97\00:21:23.00
Well, 'cause, you
know, usually the cheese is
00:21:23.03\00:21:26.15
as usually soy cheese,
everything soy, soy, soy.
00:21:26.18\00:21:29.36
Nothing wrong with it
in general but if you are
00:21:29.39\00:21:32.06
trying to stay away from
that then you can do this.
00:21:32.09\00:21:36.77
All right next step.
00:21:36.80\00:21:38.03
All right, so we want
to move that from the flame
00:21:38.06\00:21:39.72
because we're going
to use that as a filling.
00:21:39.75\00:21:41.15
So we want it to kind of cool.
00:21:41.18\00:21:44.31
All right. All right.
00:21:44.34\00:21:45.95
Then I am going get
this other one going.
00:21:45.98\00:21:47.45
What's this? So
basically veggies?
00:21:47.48\00:21:49.26
So now-- Veggie
pattie. Same thing.
00:21:49.29\00:21:50.98
Same thing, we're going to try
00:21:51.01\00:21:52.44
and saute it cook
it down and stuff.
00:21:52.47\00:21:55.65
This is another
option as a filling.
00:21:55.68\00:21:57.84
You have beef
patties but, you know,
00:21:57.87\00:21:59.56
in Jamaica more persons are
becoming more health conscious.
00:21:59.59\00:22:02.90
Not everybody
likes beef or chicken.
00:22:02.93\00:22:05.69
They do you have a
soy patties, they do have,
00:22:05.72\00:22:08.51
you know, vegetable patties.
00:22:08.54\00:22:10.93
So this is one
option here that we can do,
00:22:10.96\00:22:12.91
how you can make your
own vegetable patties.
00:22:12.94\00:22:15.08
Because they do
vegetable beans, you name it,
00:22:15.11\00:22:18.47
you can, you know,
choose whatever it is
00:22:18.50\00:22:20.98
that you like as a
filling and you can actually,
00:22:21.01\00:22:23.39
you know, put it together.
00:22:23.42\00:22:24.70
So you can make
your own filling here
00:22:24.73\00:22:27.71
you can just mix and match
basically you saute it down.
00:22:27.74\00:22:30.34
So we're trying to get
00:22:30.37\00:22:31.42
a lot of little
bit colors there.
00:22:31.45\00:22:33.07
We're trying to
look like a rainbow.
00:22:33.10\00:22:34.42
Oh, man, veggie, veggie pattie.
00:22:34.45\00:22:37.35
All right. The
more colors the...
00:22:37.38\00:22:39.21
Then we add the-- Right.
00:22:39.24\00:22:40.59
All right, now
what's happening with the--
00:22:40.62\00:22:42.20
So I am going to work on this.
00:22:42.23\00:22:43.56
What's happening
with the pastry here?
00:22:43.59\00:22:45.04
All right, for the pastry,
now this is where things go--
00:22:45.07\00:22:48.57
And then you add
00:22:48.60\00:22:49.63
a little braggs
liquid amino as well, yeah?
00:22:49.66\00:22:51.47
Yeah. It's a
little braggs in that.
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.34
So usually people
trying to figure out
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.40
when I do this what am I
going to do for the pastry.
00:22:55.43\00:22:57.87
Okay.
00:22:57.90\00:22:58.97
Because how do we
get that nice, you know,
00:22:59.00\00:23:00.96
flaky crust.
00:23:00.99\00:23:02.69
So I have a little shortcuts
so to speak, you want it?
00:23:02.72\00:23:06.43
We all like shortcuts,
I don't know about you,
00:23:06.46\00:23:08.65
but I don't have
all day to be cooking
00:23:08.68\00:23:10.08
and stuff like that.
00:23:10.11\00:23:11.16
Because you never know
00:23:11.19\00:23:12.22
sometimes you just can't get it,
00:23:12.25\00:23:13.76
just, you know, the way
that we like to have it.
00:23:13.79\00:23:16.30
When we're, you know,
getting it nice and flaky like
00:23:16.33\00:23:18.76
we get it from the store
in Jamaica or from wherever.
00:23:18.79\00:23:22.12
So what I use is
phyllo dough it comes out
00:23:22.15\00:23:24.41
really flaky and--
00:23:24.44\00:23:26.33
Phyllo dough. Phyllo dough.
00:23:26.36\00:23:27.93
Like
F-I-L-L-I-N-G or F-I... P-H-Y.
00:23:27.96\00:23:32.41
P-H, P-H, this
thing look like paper.
00:23:32.44\00:23:35.76
Right, it's very thin
so you have to take time
00:23:35.79\00:23:38.18
because it will rip on you.
00:23:38.21\00:23:40.09
Take it, be very gentle with it.
00:23:40.12\00:23:42.33
Right.
00:23:42.36\00:23:43.39
So what I'm going to do is--
00:23:43.42\00:23:44.85
Now is this going
to be in every store
00:23:44.88\00:23:47.10
or it looks like I never really
00:23:47.13\00:23:49.40
in general seen
a the Phyllo dough.
00:23:49.43\00:23:50.64
You can find it in the
same in whole food stores,
00:23:50.67\00:23:55.44
natural food stores.
00:23:55.47\00:23:57.48
It's kind of like a specialty.
00:23:57.51\00:23:59.00
But if you're trying
to find a good vegan one
00:23:59.03\00:24:01.53
because sometimes you
can get versions of it
00:24:01.56\00:24:05.56
that may have some,
what do you call like,
00:24:05.59\00:24:09.52
animal based
products than about this,
00:24:09.55\00:24:11.28
you can get a good
vegan based that doesn't have
00:24:11.31\00:24:14.02
this is all plant
based pretty much.
00:24:14.05\00:24:15.89
Okay, cool, cool so we
take the phyllo dough next step.
00:24:15.92\00:24:18.83
So right, so you have to put--
00:24:18.86\00:24:20.81
When you're using phyllo dough
00:24:20.84\00:24:21.90
you definitely want to
have it defrosted because--
00:24:21.93\00:24:25.99
It's usually in the
frozen food section.
00:24:26.02\00:24:27.58
Okay.
00:24:27.61\00:24:28.64
So you want to
have it defrosted,
00:24:28.67\00:24:30.70
sometimes you take it
out of the refrigerator
00:24:30.73\00:24:32.85
or a freezer.
00:24:32.88\00:24:34.05
How much do I put?
Oh, just a spoon full.
00:24:34.08\00:24:36.19
This much? No, that's too much.
00:24:36.22\00:24:38.07
Too much, too
much I will be to cry.
00:24:38.10\00:24:39.82
All right. Where do I put it?
00:24:39.85\00:24:40.97
Wait a second
can we get some oil
00:24:41.00\00:24:42.89
we needs to put a little.
00:24:42.92\00:24:43.95
Oh, you got to put oil again.
00:24:43.98\00:24:46.17
Just a little bit
though, not too much.
00:24:46.20\00:24:49.21
I am just gonna
drizzle a little.
00:24:49.24\00:24:51.56
What's the oil do?
00:24:51.59\00:24:53.07
That's going to help
it to get more flaky.
00:24:53.10\00:24:55.77
Okay, and then.
00:24:55.80\00:24:57.17
Put it right in the corner,
00:24:57.20\00:24:58.59
the top corner
because what we're going to do
00:24:58.62\00:25:00.87
is make kind of
like triangles with it.
00:25:00.90\00:25:05.69
So sometimes when you need
to go to the stores in Jamaica
00:25:05.72\00:25:09.14
to get patties we call this
is the gourmet version of it.
00:25:09.17\00:25:13.28
The gourmet.
00:25:13.31\00:25:14.99
Yeah because the
patties are have usually biggie,
00:25:15.02\00:25:17.72
big, big and thicken,
yes it's stuff like that.
00:25:17.75\00:25:22.37
But this is
looking like a triangle.
00:25:22.40\00:25:23.79
All right.
00:25:23.82\00:25:24.85
So this is what I
am going to bake it on
00:25:24.88\00:25:26.27
just grease this pan a little.
00:25:26.30\00:25:27.85
Okay.
00:25:27.88\00:25:28.91
And I am gonna
place it on one side.
00:25:28.94\00:25:33.01
I also have,
because if you, you know,
00:25:33.04\00:25:36.49
patties in Jamaica they usually
have this yellowish look.
00:25:36.52\00:25:39.37
Yellowish color to it.
00:25:39.40\00:25:40.88
So what I have is just
a little turmeric in water
00:25:40.91\00:25:44.50
and I'm gonna paste
it on top to give it
00:25:44.53\00:25:46.97
that nice yellow
color that we're used to.
00:25:47.00\00:25:50.39
So they trick us,
I thought that was
00:25:50.42\00:25:52.69
the just yellow, yellow dough
or something of that nature.
00:25:52.72\00:25:55.66
So let's go one more
time quick as I get hungry.
00:25:55.69\00:25:58.65
Okay, okay, all
right let's hurry it up,
00:25:58.68\00:26:00.63
let's hurry it up.
00:26:00.66\00:26:01.69
So I have the veggies here.
00:26:01.72\00:26:02.75
All right.
00:26:02.78\00:26:06.08
And then you do
the same thing again.
00:26:06.11\00:26:07.62
So I'm just going to
fold it put a little oil.
00:26:07.65\00:26:11.33
All right, just in the corner.
00:26:13.16\00:26:16.43
All right, very
nice. Is that corner okay?
00:26:16.46\00:26:21.74
We will make it
work since it's there.
00:26:21.77\00:26:23.75
We have to mix it up.
00:26:23.78\00:26:25.26
And then we're just
going to keep folding
00:26:25.29\00:26:28.11
in the form of a triangle.
00:26:28.14\00:26:30.47
Very nice.
00:26:30.50\00:26:31.90
All right. And then you're
good so you put that on there.
00:26:35.25\00:26:38.07
Put that on there.
00:26:38.10\00:26:41.72
And so yes it has that nice,
00:26:41.75\00:26:43.57
that nice color there.
00:26:43.60\00:26:44.72
Man, patties I
remember we used to order two,
00:26:44.75\00:26:48.39
three, four of them at a time.
00:26:48.42\00:26:50.05
Just eating, eating, eating,
00:26:50.08\00:26:52.18
just sitting down
and eating good pattie.
00:26:52.21\00:26:53.94
And it's for--
00:26:53.97\00:26:55.00
And now once I became
total vegetarian vegan
00:26:55.03\00:26:57.99
and stuff, I hold off on it.
00:26:58.02\00:26:59.94
So now I'm going to
take this and do what?
00:26:59.97\00:27:01.43
You going to put
it in the oven 350
00:27:01.46\00:27:03.61
and you wants to have
it there 18 to 20 minutes
00:27:03.64\00:27:07.65
until it's golden brown
00:27:07.68\00:27:10.64
and what you'll find
00:27:10.67\00:27:11.96
is that it will
come out very flaky like
00:27:11.99\00:27:16.67
we're used to when we
get it from the stores.
00:27:16.70\00:27:20.33
So it's really
simple for all of us
00:27:20.36\00:27:22.41
to be able to do this.
00:27:22.44\00:27:23.48
All you have to do you and even
00:27:23.51\00:27:25.80
if you don't have the soy meat
00:27:25.83\00:27:27.75
or something of that nature
00:27:27.78\00:27:29.17
then what you can do is
you can just use some crumble,
00:27:29.20\00:27:32.18
some pecans and walnuts
00:27:32.21\00:27:34.01
and different
items of that nature.
00:27:34.04\00:27:35.47
Or you could just stick
with the original veggie,
00:27:35.50\00:27:38.50
veggie pattie.
00:27:38.53\00:27:39.69
And you just put it
together in a nice phyllo dough,
00:27:39.72\00:27:43.43
if you don't have
phyllo dough sometimes
00:27:43.46\00:27:45.09
I've seen people go with
some heavy whole wheat dough.
00:27:45.12\00:27:47.87
Yeah, you can
make your own dough
00:27:47.90\00:27:49.56
and then you know how
to form it like a circle.
00:27:49.59\00:27:52.64
And then you put it in
center you're going to close it
00:27:52.67\00:27:54.33
and then you press that edges
00:27:54.36\00:27:55.39
so you can have that little,
you know, usual pattie shape.
00:27:55.42\00:27:57.97
But this is a good alternative
if you don't have time
00:27:58.00\00:28:01.04
and you want to
do something quick
00:28:01.07\00:28:02.62
and you want it to
taste you don't want
00:28:02.65\00:28:04.39
to get that back home feeling,
you know, quite in Jamaica
00:28:04.42\00:28:07.53
or you want to make it at
home and can't run to the store
00:28:07.56\00:28:10.17
you can actually
make it yourself.
00:28:10.20\00:28:11.58
So you have patty the
thing nice and soft and break.
00:28:11.61\00:28:14.90
