Not only is Tia Mowry one of my favorite childhood celebrities and a fashion icon, she's also an ace in the kitchen. In fact, her new show, Tia Mowry At Home, is set to premiere later this month on the Cooking Channel. I got a sneak peak at her culinary chops when I got to cook with her as part of Refinery29's #GimmeFive challenge.
Transcript
00:03Here we are with Tia Laurie and Refinery29 has picked five ingredients that we think every
00:10millennial should have in her kitchen for healthy versatile meals and you chose broccoli. Yes,
00:15so tell us about it. Well I chose broccoli mainly because it's delicious and kind of
00:21like what you just said it's it's versatile you can use broccoli in almost every dish.
00:27Just cut them into I like to say nice bite-sized trees put them all into a pot steaming water
00:38let
00:39this steam for about five minutes. So you don't you want to steam them so they're cooked but you
00:44don't want to steam them to death. It smells so good right? They smell good. Broccoli, broccoli. We need
00:52to get ice in here. Yes we are going to blanch these. Which basically just means you like stick
00:57it in an ice bath for like a minute or less really. I mean it's just kind of to stop
01:01the cooking. And I
01:02love that you're like using your hands. I feel like I do that too at home. Oh yeah. It's important
01:07to
01:07like get in there and touch your food. Make sure that we get all of the water off the broccoli
01:13because
01:13you don't want the water in the pan with the oil when we saute them. I'm gonna add some olive
01:19oil
01:20because we're gonna saute these bad boys. And I want them to get nice and crispy.
01:26Yum. It smells good. I love hearing that sizzle brown the edges or the tips of the broccoli. So
01:34what spices are these that you're adding? Um this right here is garlic powder and a pinch of chili
01:40pepper flakes. When would you serve this this broccoli? How would you use it? How? As a side dish. Smells
01:47so good. Drizzle some lemon juice on top. And why are you putting your hand there? Just for the seeds?
01:53Yes so the seeds don't. Zest my lemon. You start from the top. And you just want to get the
02:02super yellow
02:03part right? Yes the super yellow part. Let's see if I get your approval. It's really good. It's really good.
02:13And the lemon does like. Right? It gives it a really nice kick to it. Before it was just broccoli.
02:20Now it's
02:21broccoli. Broccolay.
