all right so today's episode is
dedicated to the a ban animal rescue in
rabat a da n i've donated $20 to them a
friend a dill n is doing subtitles for
these YouTube videos and yes if I could
give them a shout-out and I gave them a
donation if this video gets 20,000 views
in its first day i will donate another
$20 we had 20,000 views on the video
yesterday so let's see if we could do it
again today we went to the soup can it
was raining so we got our collection we
didn't take any videos there but here we
spent a hundred dirham we still have
some veggies from last week left over as
well and we have a lot of questions
about the beet greens so today we're
going to be showing you how to prepare
beet greens as well as talking about
some of the benefits of beet greens so
join along on today's adventure with
Professor beets so the first step is to
rinse the beet greens of all sand and
dirt check the leaves for anything
that's not so nice discard the stems and
you just give them a little wash with
your hands beets grow in the ground so
they could be quite sandy so now I'm
waiting for the beet greens to dry a bit
before I cook on my chopped up some
eggplants and now we're doing some
garlic one of the benefits of beet
greens is that they're highly nutritious
full of vitamin K caution for people
that can't eat too much oxalates plants
often have compounds that are hard for
the body to digest so check if you can't
take oxalates so in addition to being
highly nutritious I like meat grains the
most because they're delicious they are
rare and Morocco to find this nice leafy
green in Europe in America we could
often find kale and other chards dark
leafy greens in supermarkets but a
Morocco leafy greens are not always
readily available so I appreciate these
beet greens here as it gives us a
opportunity to eat our dark leafy green
vegetables it's hard to grow them in the
desert and with such hot conditions and
little water leafy greens can be rare in
Morocco
all right then once your beet greens are
dry they stack them all up on each other
removing the stems and we're going to
cut straight down through them once we
stack them all up and now we cut them
into strips straight across there's a
little bit of stems maybe that first cut
removes a little bit of the extra stem
it's just not as tasty as the green part
and the texture could be a bit weird but
we cut them into thin strips as so and
medium heat now we're going to add some
olive oil to warm up and keep the beet
greens super simple today just add some
garlic to your taste I like a lot of
garlic so I add that in there and give
it a mix around so this week we'll be
using eggplants as a vegetable to
accompany our beet greens last week we
had mushrooms that was super tasty and
we're going to supplement it with
eggplant this week actually replace it
with eggplant and again we have our egg
yolks courtesy of onion today so it's
going to be a protein we're gonna throw
on top at the end garlic's just starting
to bubble here I'm gonna add the
eggplant we're going for light cooking
today one way to add more nutrition to
your cooking is to just cook it less
less fire less cooking time this is
gonna make sure your vitamins and
minerals are staying in your foods hit
it with the salt and let it cook a
little bit
so outside of our window here we have a
new dog came down from the mountain when
Karina was walking her dogs up there
smelled one he liked and now he's been
camping outside of the house I promoted
this association and rubato here in
Tamra we would also like support people
are always looking for houses for
puppies and donations for food for the
dogs so again the situation of animals
in Morocco is there's a lot of them that
need our help the eggplant is looking a
little dry so I'm going to add a little
bit more oil now I hit it with some
pepper on top of the eggplant mix it in
so if you see our Tomatoes this week not
so many Moroccan flags I think they got
wet and weird today so this week the
flag of Morocco is not a tomato all
right we tried it it was soft so it's
done but needs more salt followed by
we're gonna hit it with the beet greens
now the moment we have all been waiting
for when the beet greens answer the dish
so again you could substitute anything
you'd like here it could be mushrooms or
zucchini if you have no other foods and
you're just eating beet greens you would
skip this step and put the beet greens
directly in there and I hope you'd like
but all you have to eat is beet greens
set me up I'll do my best to send you
some food so here we have the strips of
the beet greens it's gonna add some
liquid to our dish as well now these are
gonna cook pretty quickly so to conserve
nutrients we don't want to cook them too
long just make some in there so they
begin to wilt down and turn into that
dark green color now here you can see
that the greens have cooked down
significantly they shrink down
just like spinach kale any of your other
leafy greens would and before they turn
to dark green or cooked I'm going to put
the eggs on top again optional animal
protein you cook this as a delicious
vegan dish as well let's add those eggs
on top this kind of solidify them
together a little bit so again we've
been eating these egg yolks from Chad
and Anja downstairs so we believe in not
wasting so much food and we'd love to
eat so if you got any food waste send it
to us and we'll cook it into a delicious
dish here I'm gonna cover it with lid
just so the top of that a covers a
little bit and of course can't forget a
little more salt on top of there and it
with the salt a flavor of the sea a
little bit of pepper and we let it cook
for just a moment here enough for the
top of the eggs to be farm eggs turning
yellow on top everything looking nice
and good egg yolk still runny and the
residual heat will continue to cook it
I've shut it off the heat make sure the
greens don't burn on the bottom I'm
gonna let that just set we have a little
salad here in the tomato mozzarella ham
lettuce all set up hey dude with you
right you know and a little olive oil
we're gonna have ourselves a meal here
make sure to check out Aidan to donate
down below so that those dogs and robot
may have a meal as well during this
co-ed quarantine time thank you
be green and egg yolk skillets with
eggplant in there as well company buy
our salad you tell the garlic's not to
brown yet and the greens aren't super
dark green eggs took a little bit of a
while to cook on there but it doesn't
look burnt or too overdone
hello hello yeah so I was asked to speak
how dogs and cats suffer here in Morocco
but I'm gonna let the most compassionate
person I know
towards the dogs and cats of Morocco to
speak on this can you share with the
viewers a little bit about your personal
experience okay so I do work with the
street dogs here it's more I mean I work
full-time and it's a kind of side
project there's a massive population of
street dogs and cats here and the
suffering is beyond comprehension you
have dogs and cats that are injured road
injuries and I left to die at the side
of the road litters of puppies that die
slow terrible deaths from viruses such
as parvo and distemper and we've just
I've just realized our kind of villa dog
that lives outside Maya she's been
vaccinated and sterilized but I've had a
bit of an inspection because she was
bleeding and realized that she's now got
stickler sarcoma which is a sexually
transmitted cancer so she's gonna need
our help
do you just personally outside her front
door already there's dogs that need our
help and especially in the big cities
again this video dedicated to the ADA in
Rabat but here we also have Tamra animal
aide which is in access which I really
good friend Lucy heads up and then
there's Muraki animal adoptions that is
as you can see in our other video where
you meet her and her six dogs you could
check that out but again this video is
to bring awareness to situation here in
Morocco as well as just show you how to
cook delicious beet greens so some
people with Karina's video like how
could she live with so many dogs Kareena
is an angel to these and
she is above and beyond what everyone
else is doing for these dogs and cats
here she has six dogs downstairs two
cats three cats three cats and a
tortoise if you're beet greens aren't so
good send them to the tortoise right if
they're not up to human standards would
give him to the tortoise but she tried
surround with dog and cat food in her
car giving it out when she sees strays
on the side of the road well I've got
yeah I've got like three packs as well
my beach pack my mountain pack and my
Tavor pack that I feed regularly so
we're talking up to like 30 dogs so this
is just a loan here in our villa the
work that we're doing here but again
check out Aden Moroccan animal adoption
and Morocco animal hey did Morocco

angel of a human being

greens help the animals in Morocco and
