Welcome! We're Dave and Steve from The Happy Pear. We're all about health,
happiness, and community! So today we brought our kids we got Maisy and Elsie,
ah no, Elsie and May.
And today, what are we cooking Steve?
We're gonna cook chargrilled vegetable kebabs and we're gonna cook really easy, tasty flat-breads.
A great one to get the kids involved in and to get the family cooking and eating really well.
First step we're gonna soak our skewers in water.
Right so that was first step we're going to soak our skewers in some water.
Good. So the reason why we're doing that
is so once the skewers go on the heat they don't break and burn and go and
fire. Once they soak the water they're not gonna go on fire. First off
we start with our halloumi. We have a block of 150g of halloumi.
So there we are, our halloumi is in.
Next step we're gonna chop our veg.
So we're just going to chop them into 2 centimetre squares. Nice work guys you're doing great.
And last we're gonna chop the courgette. No stealing the vegetables girls! We need them!
So see we've got some really cool mixed colour tomatoes, doesn't matter if you
just have all red it doesn't matter at all, but the more colour you have just the
more interesting they are. So normally this recipe would have a chilli in it but because
this is for the kids, and the kids don't like chilli, we're gonna leave it out.
Next up we're gonna season this with lemon zest and some mint.
So first step we're gonna smell it, do you like it? That's mint. The fairies grew this!
Okay we're gonna pick some off. Pull the leaves, just the leaves off. Good job team.
There's mint in your hair.
Okay let's whack her all in. Let's whack her all in! That's it. Doesn't that look pretty?
Do you like the colours? Look! Looks nice and pretty!
Okay last step we're gonna zest in the zest of one lemon. Try to get an organic
lemon cause it'll be unwaxed, so there won't be any plastic-y kind of roughness on it.
So we're just using any old grater, you know, we've got one here, in it goes.
We're gonna add in two tablespoons of olive oil, pinch of black pepper, and let's add in
a pinch of salt, and let's mix it all through you guys. Mix, mix, mix!
So now it's skewering time! Vegetable skewering time!
Be careful with them now. Yes, be careful. So I'll do one first then you copy me.
So first, look look watch! So first step you're gonna start with the white bit, the halloumi.
We're gonna put that down the bottom and be careful that it doesn't break,
and then like go let's go with tomato. So think about pretty colours. What would
look nice? A bit of the white stuff, might be enough Maisy, yea that's it. Just be
careful that it doesn't break. Beautiful work!
Mind your fingers. Do you wanna do another one Maisy? Good job! So while the girls
are skewering up all the skewers, doing a beautiful job, I'm gonna get our griddle
pan, I'm gonna turn on high heat and we're gonna get ready to char these.
Look at that, beautiful! So while the girls are finishing off the last two I'm just
gonna put them. So you see they look really really pretty on they
go onto our pan, nice bit of sizzle. So these are chargrilled, so you want this
really high heat, you want the pan hot so they do char. You don't want a low heat,
you want them where, you know, they are just starting to brown already we want brown, we want char.
Okay dudes, who's ready to make some flat breads? Me! Hands up! Elsie you
ready for flat breads? Me! Okay so we got two master bakers here,
while Dave is charring our kebabs we're gonna make some real easy
flat breads. So now we're gonna add in 350g of buckwheat flour if
you don't have buckwheat you could use white flour, but buckwheat is less refined
than white flour, it's a whole grain. In we go! And it's also gluten free. In it
goes into the big bowl. Oh nice. Sleeves up, sleeves up! Next we've
got two tablespoons of baking powder, in it goes, this is just gonna help them
puff up a little bit. Guys mix that through as well as you can. So next
we've got three 350g of yoghurt, we're using soy yoghurt, cause May is
allergic to dairy, but you could use any yogurt you want. In it goes, you ready.
You know it's kind of cool, the kids love getting involved, and you know the more they get
involved, the more likely they are to eat it .
And lastly we're gonna add in a good pinch of salt.
So I'm gonna roll them into little squash or golf ball sized balls, you see that little fella there?
So we're gonna use rapeseed oil we're gonna infuse it with garlic and
some black parsley. You can use any herb you want that you've grown in your
garden. Okay so I've prepped 2 cloves of garlic, I've diced
them up nice and fine, I've prepped a small bunch of black parsley, that's what
I had grown in our garden here, and I've got some rapeseed oil. So here we go I'm
just gonna add it all in and just allow it to infuse. Nice. Okay so we've rolled
out our flat breads, you'll see we've got 12 little golf ball sized balls, and we
have two little eager girls to flatten them. Yes? Yah! Okay one for May, one for Elsie.
I'll show you what we do, wait let me show you. Okay wait, this is what you do look, ready?
Ready. Ready 1, 2, 3, boom, flatten it.
Just cut a few lines in 'em. Why? Cause it just looks cool when they're
cooked. Okay so it's just for coolness is it? Absolutely. Just for the cool factor.
Okay so I'm just gonna oil them up with our infused, our garlic and flat parsley
infused rapeseed oil. So if you can't get rapeseed oil, olive oil will work fine.
We just have local rapeseed oil here so we tend to use that on a lot of things.
So they take about three minutes on each side, something like that, until they're nice and crispy
and crunchy. Ooh looks good doesn't it. Beautiful!
See the consistency of that one, it's very nice. Okay so here we are
look at these beautiful kebabs, they look gorgeous! What do you think May and Elsie?
Do you prefer the kebabs or the breads? The bread. No way! Okay I'm going straight for the
the kebab. Bread, bread! Yummm! Nice.
So thanks for watching. Easy to make, it was chargrilled kebabs
and real easy flat breads. Again by getting the kids involved it just gets them eating
more, participating, enjoying food. It's a fun practical dinner, really good dinner.
Thanks again for watching. We're wishing you health and happiness!
Cheers! Can you say bye girls? Bye!
