1 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:05,830 Hi everybody, it's Natalia here. I hope that this video finds you well. I hope that you're 2 00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:12,769 all safe and sound at home. Maybe you get to spend a little time at least at a window 3 00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:19,550 or on a balcony, ideally outside if that's possible and safe. Yeah, and I hope that you 4 00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:24,530 and your families are doing well. Today I'm going to be making a video teaching you about 5 00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:29,769 something that I've been trying to learn a lot better during this quarantine time, which 6 00:00:29,769 --> 00:00:35,950 is cooking. So I've been doing a lot of different dishes on different days. I've been making 7 00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:43,350 soups and cooking meats and just really doing my best to try to learn a bit about cooking 8 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:48,670 in this time period to try to do something productive while I'm stuck at home. And I've 9 00:00:48,670 --> 00:00:54,950 been trying to find healthy foods that also are tasty. So I don't want it to just be, you know, 10 00:00:54,950 --> 00:01:00,770 spinach kale all these green things but I'm also not trying to just make french fries every night 11 00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:07,730 you know so trying to find something in between that's balanced um but also is a type of comfort 12 00:01:07,730 --> 00:01:12,129 food you know so today I'm going to talk with you about my favorite dish that I've discovered 13 00:01:12,129 --> 00:01:16,969 and perfected and I'm going to teach you how to make it so that you can try it at home if you 14 00:01:16,969 --> 00:01:22,450 want maybe you can make it for your parents for your family for your siblings who's to say um but 15 00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:27,129 yeah, I'm going to walk you through that today. So first things first, let's talk about the 16 00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:33,650 ingredients that you're going to need to make this. So you'll need olive oil, a little bit of 17 00:01:33,650 --> 00:01:41,269 garlic. You will need some chicken broth, quinoa. You can use any type of quinoa. It can be the 18 00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:46,730 mixed variety. It can be white quinoa. It can be brown quinoa. It doesn't matter. You're going to 19 00:01:46,730 --> 00:01:53,269 need black beans I got these in a can they're already cooked so that I don't have to cook them 20 00:01:53,269 --> 00:01:59,010 myself just because it's nice to be able to be a little lazy sometimes so you can grab those I got 21 00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:06,849 those at the Corte Ingles um you want some corn and some tomatoes and then if you want you could 22 00:02:06,849 --> 00:02:12,810 get some chips I like to crumble those on top after once I'm done making it and an avocado as 23 00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:18,909 well. Hello, I'm back. So I've done some of the boring work for you. What I've done is I've taken 24 00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:28,330 about four cloves of garlic and I have them just with olive oil in here and I'm heating them up 25 00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:34,889 until I can start to smell the garlic, until it starts to smell really garlicky, really delicious 26 00:02:34,889 --> 00:02:42,370 if you're like me and you love garlic. And I'm gonna add a bit of salt in here. You can add some 27 00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:49,870 other seasoning if you'd like so we'll do that all right so like I said it's starting to smell 28 00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:54,150 really good in here and the next thing you do is you basically add the rest of the ingredients 29 00:02:54,150 --> 00:03:00,729 so what you're gonna do is you're gonna grab your quinoa I've rinsed this so basically I just put it 30 00:03:00,729 --> 00:03:05,750 in cold water and then strange the cold water out but you don't need to do that yourself if you don't 31 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:12,490 want to. Some people think that it makes the quinoa taste a little bit better. I think it does 32 00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:21,150 but not everyone agrees with me. So you put that in. You take your tomatoes. Pour those in. You're 33 00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:29,650 going to take your corn. Do the same thing right in there. Mix it all up. It's going to hiss a bit 34 00:03:29,650 --> 00:03:35,469 like this. You put it all in the same pot which is nice. That makes it easier. And then I'm also 35 00:03:35,469 --> 00:03:42,729 going to get my beans, which I have rinsed just from the can. They're cooked already and you're 36 00:03:42,729 --> 00:03:49,729 going to pour those in as well. All right, so I've been waiting while I was waiting for my soup to 37 00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:55,129 boil. So you can see right now it's really boiling. Look at all those bubbles. It's moving very 38 00:03:55,129 --> 00:04:00,409 quickly. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to turn the heat down a bit. So I want it to be a 39 00:04:00,409 --> 00:04:05,610 little bit less and I want to bring it down to what we call a simmer so it's kind of like a boil 40 00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:11,030 there are still bubbles but it's not as intense and I'm gonna let it stay like this right here 41 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:16,550 for 20 minutes so I'm gonna put it oh gosh it's getting foggy I'm going to put a timer on for 20 42 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:21,889 minutes and I will show you what it looks like after hello welcome back it's been 20 minutes 43 00:04:21,889 --> 00:04:26,449 since I last talked to you probably I will edit this obviously so there's less time for you 44 00:04:26,449 --> 00:04:33,769 but after i think it was 22 minutes i was left with this you can see it's not really a soup 45 00:04:33,769 --> 00:04:41,430 or a stew it's kind of just something in between a stew and a quinoa dish so you can see the quinoa 46 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:49,670 in there it's moist but it's not um a soup at all so i'm gonna go ahead and plate it and i will show 47 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:54,569 you how i like to eat it but that's what it should look like when you're done with it perfect so i 48 00:04:54,569 --> 00:04:59,889 have my dinner in my bowl what I'm gonna do next actually we'll start with the lemon is I like to 49 00:04:59,889 --> 00:05:06,069 squeeze a bit of lemon on it just to give it some acid you can use whatever type of you can use a 50 00:05:06,069 --> 00:05:12,029 real lemon if you want but I'm just lazy and then I like to oh can I do this one-handed crush up 51 00:05:12,029 --> 00:05:20,029 chips to put in it so it's kind of like nachos uh it's really really delicious and that is how 52 00:05:20,029 --> 00:05:24,649 you make the dish. You can have leftovers. You can add avocado if you want. You can put whatever 53 00:05:24,649 --> 00:05:30,970 you think would be good as a topping, but it's really delicious. It's not too healthy, but it's 54 00:05:30,970 --> 00:05:36,029 not unhealthy either. And I hope that if you try it, you enjoy it. Let me know if you do. Okay. 55 00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:37,509 Bye everybody. Have a good day.
