recipes for picky eaters uk

hey dudes! i'm hilah and today on hilah cooking i'm back with my friend tuany and we are makingmocqueca and caipirinha. - ooh, we are? - did i pronounce it good?- caipirinhas, yes.

recipes for picky eaters uk, - okay, so mocqueca is like a coconut seafood stew from brazil. it's super simple. it's like literally a fewingredients and like 15 minutes.

we'll barely have time to drinklike three caipirinhas before it's ready.- well, good. (upbeat music) - so this recipe kind of came from your mom. - mhmmm. - and then i read a bunch ofrecipes online and stuff too and kind of combined into one thati like but probably the most important and controversial ingredient, ooh, dendãª, right?

- dendãª, yes, dend㪠oil. - [hilah] it's an oil. it's red palm oil is another name for it. if you are up on saturated fatsor rain forest destruction then you've probably heard thisbecause it's like this is what's in nutella that everybody isconcerned about because there's a lot of rain forests destruction that happens in farming this. you can find ones that are like fair trade.

i don't know. i don't know how i feel aboutthis but it is important for the flavor so--- it does make it delicious. - yeah. - some people would use olive oil. like in my city they use oliveoil in sabado and people say it's more traditional to usedend㪠oil but if you really don't want to do you can useolive oil and still be good but with dend㪠it would just be perfect.

so, we're gonna use this to makeit the right way but you can use olive oil and then some cod which they probably, that's probably not what you'duse in brazil 'cause i'm pretty sure that's like iceland andalaska but any kind of white fish and some coconut milk and some vegetables. we'll start over on thestove we're just going sautã© the onions in some of the dendãª. - [tuany] mhmmm. it's flavor.- [hilah] yeah.

so get it kind of softened up a little bit at first. then we'll add a whole bunch of garlic. like so much garlic and somebell pepper and some tomatoes. - [tuany] it's a great dish for first dates. - [hilah] yeah.(laughs) it's like (exhaling). and then we'll add the coconut milk. a little bit of tomato sauce. add the fish.

smells so good already.- [tuany] yeah. - [hilah] and then just letit simmer for about 10 minutes until the fish is cooked. alright, while that's simmering, we're going to make caipirinhas. and so we've got two glasseshere and i've got half full of lime in each one that we cutinto quarters and then like trimmed off the white part 'cause they say that makes it too bitter.

that's what they say.- yeah. - alright, i'm gonna add some sugar to each one. i don't know, this is like personal taste, i think. - okay. - but i think, i'm gonna startwith like 2 teaspoons 'cause that's what it says on the bottle of the cachaã§a. - yeah, i think the sugar willmake it go down a little easier. - man, chris and i, there wasthis restaurant in austin called rio's, it's closed now but itwas brazilian but you could

bring your own bottle of cachaã§aand they would just bring you the limes and the sugar andthe set up and everything and i can't believe how much we would drink of this. like we would almost drink a whole bottle, i think. - oh my gosh. - [hilah] it was, yeah, a little out of control. (tuany laughs) so then we're muddling and you get all the juice out and you're alsogetting a lot of the fragrant

lime oils out of the rind. so rio's they would bring youlike a little mason jar with limes and sugar in it. - oh, that's a nice idea. - they would sit there at thetable and mash it for you and then you could add however muchcachaã§a you wanted and put the lid on it and shake it so yeah it was, seemed like a good way to do it. so do that if you have mason jars at home.

i don't have any so... - do it already in your cupso it stays everything there. - yeah.- that's nice. - you just dirty one cup.- yeah. - [hilah] okay. so then, once the sugar's prettymuch dissolved in the juice, okay we're gonnaadd 2 ounces each,-- - just like us.- this is a stiff drink. and this is one of the best brands

if you're looking to buy it. what is this made out of? is it sugar cane?- it's sugar cane. - it smells a little like tequila. - and you can find that at ralph's. - oh really?- really. - [hilah] awesome. that's good to know. - it's not that special specialty i guess. - yeah.- okay.

then we're gonna add a lot of ice. - smell it.- smells right. - maybe some more ice. - this has all the recipes for the... - except caipirinha.- except caipirinha. - the one that we need.- [tuany] damn. smells like carnival. (tuany and hilah laugh) - i bet with carnival there'salso a lot of smells of urine.

- oh yeah, yeah. that's one little thing missing. that was it, i think. (both laugh) - alright, let's try these i guess. - okay. cheers. - they don't look very proper.- did you just say, "good luck"? - i think, i don't know. (laughs) okay. - it's pretty good.- yeah.

it's not absolutely crazy alcohol. really good. - it is, you just can't taste it. - you can still still taste it. it's good, really good. - it's like limeade.- yeah. with a little... - alcohol in it.(laughs) - mmmm. mhmmm.

that's really good. - alright, let's check on our mocqueca. okay, everything timed out perfectly. so this is usually served served with rice. i didn't make any but--- and pirã£o. - with the same sauce, you justget a little bit on the side, and put in cassava flour and mix it up and you get pirã£o which is-- - porridge?- porridge.

it's the same, yeah. - yeah.- it's real good. - and you would serve this with this over it? like, on top of it? - on the side, you can put a little bit of mocqueca, rice and pirã£o. - [hilah] and then also your momserves this with boiled eggs. - yes. but then, i guess, everybody does it different a little bit.

and we can also, you could also use shrimp. - not for me. - but tuany is allergic.- yeah. - okay, so, let's give this a try. oh my gosh, it smells so good. - [tuany] i want to get some of the, little bit of every of the vegetables. - [hilah] oh, we've also did, we've done a few brazilian recipes together.

we did pã£o de queijo, the cheese bread, we did coxinha, which is like chicken fritters. - and brigadeiro! - and brigadeiro which sheactually cooked on that one. - cooked? (laughs) yes, i did.- you did. - okay, ready? - mmmm.- mmmm. just right.

really good.- yay! well, thank you.- this is my favorite dish. i was a very picky child, picky eater but four years ago, it was a late discoveryfor me, four or five-- - oh really? - yeah, four or five years ago iwent to savado and we had this and i ateeverything and it's just-- - you're favorite thing since then now.

it's one of my favorites 'cause it's so simple. it's literally dinners in like 15 minutes. - you can just have this. looks like a soup if you want to have it like that. - yeah, yeah. but yeah if you want to add somerice to make it more filling then by all means. well thank you so much. i'll put links to all the other

brazilian recipes you can watch there. cheers, tuany! - cheers.- cheers, bye! - wow, so good. everything.- yay!
