Okay, my kitchen is your kitchen.
Take it away, school us.
Okay.
We're gonna do a little do-si-do
Do a little do-si-do.
Switchy aroundy.
Okay, so we're gonna come over here.
Can I be of help to anybody to do anything?
You wanna do some mashing?
Oh, that'd be great.
I love mashing!
(audience laughs)
So these are, you just open a can of chickpeas,
you start to mash 'em
while you're steaming some cauliflower.
We've got some cauliflower in here.
You got your little steamer.
Get them nice and steamed until it's a little soft--
I have the identical steamer--
And them mash it.
It's like $4 on all of Canal Street.
(laughs)
So, you mash up your chickpeas.
Right.
With some steamed cauliflower and that's our base.
And then we add a ton of vegetables.
Vegetables, red peppers, scallions.
Red peppers and scallions.
Can I grate in some garlic?
Oh, that would be perfect.
And then the spinach is just a box of spinach
squeeze out all, chopped spinach,
squeeze out all the excess--
Take out all the excess liquid.
Frozen spinach--
Gotcha!
Which makes it so easy, parsley.
We tend to, in our recipes,
we add a lot of parsley, which is one of like
the healthiest greens there is, and--
I love flat leaf parsley,
I put it in everything, everything, seriously.
Yeah, it's so good.
And then we spice it up with some cumin,
about a half a teaspoon,
and then, some turmeric.
And then some eggs.
And then we add our eggs, right.
And you mix that up well.
And then mix that up
and then about a half a cup of breadcrumbs,
and what you have then is this--
This gorgeous mixture.
This beautiful batter,
and we tend to take like a third of a cup.
And you just kind of just press it together.
Press it together, oops, sorry.
And that helps make them the same size and shape?
Can you pass over the, yeah.
And then we use a little extra breadcrumbs
just to firm them up.
And then what we do to make them--
Oh, coat the outside?
We coat the outside.
Gotcha.
Sometimes I just do it with my hands
like this too and then...
Dab it on there.
Yeah, and then you just make your patties.
Make all your patties, and then how do we cook them?
I'll bring them down here, sorry.
In olive oil.
My bad.
About two tablespoons of olive oil.
Okay, I'm comin'.
(laughs)
I'm gettin' there.
Okay, and then drop them gently into the olive oil.
Yes, and you cook them undisturbed for about
four minutes to let them kind of--
Let them kind of set.
Let them golden brown, yes,
and then you flip them.
Awesome.
Put them in the oven
and then cook them for about ten minutes
to get them good and hot inside.
So, you finish them off in the hot oven just to let them
gently finish cooking through.
Yes, exactly.
(audience claps)
So, what are we gonna do next, guys?
Here.
We're going to heat the oil.
And then, here, you wanna do the garlic?
Yes.
We just heat up some garlic and onions
and saute it until they get nice and softened,
and lightly browned.
And add the garlic.
Do you guys get an opportunity to cook together often?
Yes, we do, a lot, which is so fun.
It is so much fun.
And once that's softened.
Then this, the kale goes in.
Kale, yay!
(audience claps)
Kale goes in, woops.
And that softens up.
Yup.
And then we do a little salt.
And guys, is this for the nachos?
Yeah, this is the vegetable-loaded--
Topping, yes!
Vegetable nachos.
Yum!
And then that gets soft and then we add the corn.
Wow, you got everything in there!
Yes, it's very vegetable heavy.
Yes, very healthy.
(audience claps)
Now, what we do, is we just sort of
spread a little bit of the
refried bean mixture over.
When you're buying re fried beans,
just check the label,
some of them have lard in them
if you're trying to make a vegetarian dish of course,
you wanna make sure that they're vegetable based.
Yes, and organic whenever possible.
Yes, absolutely.
And then we-- And then you--
Top it with veggies?
Yes.
Aw.
Yes, so delicious.
Do we still get cheese?
Oh, yes.
Of course, we get cheese!
Yay!
(audience claps)
You've got to have cheese!
Of course, you can do vegan cheese
to make it vegan, if you want to.
And you can also, yeah,
there's a lot of great vegan cheese.
Really good, that melts and...
And then you sprinkle the cheese on top.
And you add a few of the--
If you like it spicy, the jalapeno peppers.
I love pickled jalapenos!
And then this goes in the oven.
(whooshing)
These smell amazing!
(audience claps)
Salsa, salsa, and the avocado.
(audience claps)
And some avocado, healthy fats, right.
Gorgeouso.
You're all gonna be eating mostly plants
'cause you're all getting a copy of the book!
(audience cheers)
Yay!
