She's started eating already.
Now look, it's time for a delicious
holiday appetizer thing.
The author of the "Latin Comfort Foods Made Healthy."
Is this healthy?
Of course it is, it's about balance.
Chef Ingrid Hoffman, back on the show.
How're you doing? (audience cheering & clapping)
Thank you honey.
(speaking in foreign language)
Talk about it. Come on.
Party boards. So this is easy,
this is the rage on instagram, and they're so easy to make.
A couple tips, very simple. You need to anchor your board.
The first thing we do is we put bowls, different heights,
different depths, so that you can fill it up.
I love everything here!
Doesn't it look beautiful? Yeah!
People get intimidated. They're very easy,
as long as you anchor your bowls.
So there's another great tip.
Pick different texture cheeses.
You want cow cheese, you want goat, you want sheep,
different shapes, then you just start filling in.
The meats need to be cut very thin,
so that they're easy to chew.
And you need to roll them up, fold them up.
We want texture, and then it's just a question of
seasonal ingredients. She's loving this.
(audience cheering) I love it! Okay, so.
But I've got a very easy recipe that I made,
that you can premake.
So come, and I'll show you how to make my Spanish tortilla.
(audience cheering and clapping)
And, and here's where things is about balance.
This is supposedly the classic--
Are you at the Kabbalah? We were just talking about that.
You were just talking about?
Lots of love in my life honey.
But I see the red string.
Yes. Okay.
We got to do, we've got to keep it all this--
Now you're in New York right now,
but it's Art Basel this weekend.
Are you going back to party?
No, I am here for work, and I had "Wendy".
What more important than "Wendy"?
(audience cheering and clapping)
Who cares about Art Basel?
There you go. Thank you Ingrid.
So, you were worried--
What is that?
This is potato-- Potatoes!
Only one potato, and the rest is cauliflower.
Oh my God. Oh really?
Now generally, a Spanish tortilla is all potatoes.
And this is where things get healthy,
and that's about balance.
Instead of having all the carbs, I only did one potato.
We do egg whites with only three full yolks.
Okay.
Instead of the six full on.
Okay.
That's where things get healthy.
This is the healthy part.
We're going to do a bit of herbs,
a little bit of rosemary, a little bit of salt.
Okay. A little bit of pepper.
We're going to mix that up, and then--
What is this? Are these hot or sweet?
Those are sweet roasted peppers that we're going to use.
Peppers. What the salami is going on?
Look at her! (audience laughing)
She's loving it!
So then we let this cook for six minutes,
then we stick it in (laughs).
(audience laughing and whooping)
Go ahead.
We stick it in the broiler.
The finished part is right here.
And I want you to try this Wendy, try this.
This little piece.
Well that's it? Tell me what you think.
That's it! It's already cooked, it's cut up.
It's a Spanish tortilla made the healthy way,
from my new book.
And now I'm going to take on,
I know you like castelvetrano olives,
a little fairy told me.
Oh they're really good.
So I'm going to make you, (laughs)
(audience laughing)
I'm going to make you a tapenade.
Green olives, castelvetrano, if you guys like black olives,
do whatever.
I know you don't like blacks, so for you especially--
Okay, I don't mind black olives,
but the green ones are more flavorful.
They are, and they're spicy like you and me.
And even better if you stuff them with blue cheese
or garlic.
Exactly. Shallots, some acidity with red wine vinegar,
a little bit of olive oil.
Now we're going to cover this, and we're going to do
vroom-vroom.
And practically that's going to be it.
And that (mumbles).
And that's it! It's done and I want you to try it,
and tell me what you think.
Now the nice thing with this is we do--
Oh my gosh, I'm in heaven.
(audience laughter)
(laughs) Between the sweet, the savory, the salty,
you are a happy camper, my love. Right?
Mm-hmm, oh my gosh. Thank you Ingrid.
(audience laughing and whooping)
Happy Holidays!
