00:00:00.276 --> 00:00:05.033
The best cook that I've ever known
00:00:05.033 --> 00:00:07.533
is my wife Silvia making breakfast.
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:07.533 --> 00:00:08.522
It's amazing.
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:08.522 --> 00:00:11.829
I've had breakfasts in hotel, brunch,
00:00:11.829 --> 00:00:13.726
on a cruise,
00:00:13.726 --> 00:00:16.551
and so far, nobody has made
a breakfast like Silvia's.
00:00:16.551 --> 00:00:18.375
At some point, I'm going to convince her
00:00:18.375 --> 00:00:20.975
to join us here to show you
how to make breakfast.
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:20.975 --> 00:00:23.474
But today will be my turn
and I'm going to teach you
00:00:23.474 --> 00:00:25.619
how to make one
of the best Venezuelan dishes
00:00:25.619 --> 00:00:27.776
typically served for breakfast:
00:00:27.776 --> 00:00:28.778
Empanadas.
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:28.778 --> 00:00:34.108
There are empanadas in Bolivia,
Argentina, Chile, Galicia...
00:00:34.108 --> 00:00:36.939
Now it's time for the Venezuelan empanada!
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:37.449 --> 00:00:38.868
Empanadas stuffed with fish pisillo
-- shredded fish--
00:00:38.868 --> 00:00:40.288
Avocado and garlic sauce
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:40.378 --> 00:00:44.437
So we're going to start making
Venezuelan empanada with corn flour
00:00:44.437 --> 00:00:47.501
stuffed with fish pisillo and sofrito,
00:00:47.501 --> 00:00:50.934
served with a guasacaca,
00:00:50.934 --> 00:00:55.616
which is how Venezuelan call
this wonderful avocado sauce.
NOTE Paragraph
00:00:55.616 --> 00:00:58.632
First, to make a good empanada
we'll start with the dough,
00:00:58.632 --> 00:01:04.074
which is made with a wonderful invention
that Venezuela gave to the world:
00:01:04.074 --> 00:01:06.907
Pre-cooked cornmeal.
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:06.907 --> 00:01:09.243
This cornmeal is very easy to use
00:01:09.243 --> 00:01:10.842
because is pre-cooked
00:01:10.842 --> 00:01:13.404
and this is how you start:
00:01:13.404 --> 00:01:14.648
Here you have water--
00:01:14.648 --> 00:01:16.300
don't be too worried
about how much water
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:19.594
because you'll start adding the cornmeal
until you get the desired texture,
00:01:19.594 --> 00:01:21.761
and to that water, you'll add some salt.
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:21.761 --> 00:01:23.119
Here's my salt.
00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:24.301
How much salt?
00:01:24.301 --> 00:01:28.109
Well, that will be up to you.
00:01:28.109 --> 00:01:30.478
I eat low-sodium,
00:01:30.478 --> 00:01:32.900
so mine's usually not very salty
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:36.277
but I like to concentrate
on the flavor of my stuffing.
00:01:36.277 --> 00:01:39.676
It should taste the way
you'd like your soup.
00:01:39.676 --> 00:01:41.160
Up to your taste.
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:42.078
Let's try it.
00:01:42.842 --> 00:01:43.856
Perfect.
00:01:43.856 --> 00:01:45.994
I'm going to wet a clean kitchen towel.
00:01:45.994 --> 00:01:47.120
Why?
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.713
Because I'm going
to leave this dough to rest
00:01:49.713 --> 00:01:51.713
and I need to cover it with a wet towel,
00:01:51.713 --> 00:01:54.293
so I'm going to have it ready.
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:54.293 --> 00:01:55.377
Here's my cornmeal--
00:01:55.377 --> 00:01:57.659
We always have this argument
00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:01.582
because some people say we should
add the water to the cornmeal,
00:02:01.582 --> 00:02:03.814
while there's an opposite group of people
00:02:03.814 --> 00:02:06.426
who say we should be adding
the cornmeal to the water.
00:02:06.426 --> 00:02:09.560
To be really honest, I think it's the same
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.296
because if you knead well this dough,
00:02:11.296 --> 00:02:12.859
you won't have any lumps at the end.
NOTE Paragraph
00:02:12.859 --> 00:02:17.323
You'll start adding
the cornmeal to the water
00:02:17.323 --> 00:02:20.125
and, as you can see,
I'm not measuring it,
00:02:20.125 --> 00:02:25.133
until you get a dough
very similar to a play-doh.
00:02:25.133 --> 00:02:27.088
Do you remember playing with play-doh?
00:02:27.088 --> 00:02:28.423
That's what we're going to do.
NOTE Paragraph
00:02:28.423 --> 00:02:30.577
This dough needs to be well hydrated
00:02:30.577 --> 00:02:33.642
because being a pre-cooked cornmeal,
00:02:33.642 --> 00:02:35.759
if you don't let it rest,
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.177
you might get a sandy texture.
00:02:38.177 --> 00:02:41.130
Hence, I have this wet towel,
00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:42.890
we'll cover it,
00:02:42.890 --> 00:02:45.360
and we'll let it rest
to get the hydration it needs.
NOTE Paragraph
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.745
This cornmeal is gluten-free,
is amazingly healthy,
00:02:49.745 --> 00:02:51.744
and you can use it for a myriad of dishes,
00:02:51.744 --> 00:02:53.772
which you will be learning for sure,
00:02:53.772 --> 00:02:57.618
but today I'm going to teach you
how to make Venezuelan empanada!

The next step for our recipe
is to prepare anatto-infused oil.
00:03:06.185 --> 00:03:07.522
What is anatto-infused oil?
00:03:07.522 --> 00:03:10.188
This wonderful thing you see here
00:03:10.188 --> 00:03:13.556
