- Today y'all, I've got a special treat.
0:03
Jamie Dean's in the driver's seat y'all,
0:06
I have a lot of happy days,
0:08
but today day is an even happier day,
0:11
cause Jamie's in here with me
0:14
preparing some of his favorite recipes for y'all.
0:18
- So tell them what's up son.
0:19
- This is the south Western avocado and black bean salad.
0:22
You know, mama salad is one of my favorite foods.
0:24
- I know, I know y'all love salad.
0:27
- And I love that the Southwestern aspect of this.
0:29
So mama, this is the simplest, tastiest salad
0:32
that you can have, and it takes two minutes.
0:34
So if you want to help me get started mom,
0:35
just eyeball, a quarter cup of that extra Virgin olive oil.
0:38
- Well, you know, I see that you've got
0:39
my favorite ingredient up here and
0:43
- [Jamie] Yup. I've got some avocados in here,
0:45
- You can't go wrong.
0:46
- and we're gonna need, you're gonna
0:48
- Alright, about a fourth of a cup you said?
0:50
- and a couple of shakes of hot sauce.
0:52
- And to that, I'm going to add a half a cup of
0:54
fresh chopped cilantro.
0:55
- If you didn't like cilantro, though,
0:58
you could certainly, leave that out.
1:01
- You could leave it out. I mean,
1:02
some people like it and some people love it.
1:04
- [Paula] I've grown to love it over the years.
1:06
- [Jamie] The two tablespoons of lime juice
1:07
that we put in here kind of cuts
1:09
that flavor a little bit, and it just gives it an
1:11
earthy, South of the border flavor.
1:13
- I'm going to get the base of the salad
1:14
put together real quick.
1:15
- Where did the little g-
1:16
Oh, I can do it right here, can I?
1:21
- [Jamie] I'm going to do some runway
1:23
This may be the first time that my momma
1:25
corrects me on this show.
1:27
- What, what are you talking about?
1:30
- Cause how many times did you
1:32
chase me out of the kitchen
1:33
for cutting lettuce instead of tearing it?
1:40
She didn't want me to bruise it,
1:42
but it sure is quicker to cut it.
1:45
- So I've got a head of romaine
1:46
- I'm not as anal as I used to be
1:48
I've mellowed with age, Jamie.
1:53
- I've got a cup of cherry tomatoes
1:55
that I'm gonna just cut in half here.
1:57
- In the winter months, y'all I,
1:58
I turned to cherry tomatoes because they just,
2:03
they have a better flavor than the regular tomatoes do.
2:08
This is a juicy lime, Jamie,
2:10
cause you didn't want but, about
2:12
- About two tablespoons
2:14
Do you want me to put it in that oil and the cilantro?
2:18
- [Paula] Do you want me to start cutting
2:19
the avocados for you?
2:21
- [Jamie] Yes ma'am, you can do that.
2:25
Slowing down in your, in your seniority?
2:28
Now don't mess that up
2:29
cause we want to keep this and leave it,
2:32
- I ha-, I have slowed down.
2:35
Boy howdy, I used to be fast so,
2:46
- You know what it's hard for me to believe?
2:48
- That you were my age when we
2:49
started our business, doesn't that sound incredible?
2:54
- [Paula] I thought I was old.
2:56
- I thought you were too.
3:03
It's going to be beautiful.
3:04
- Oh, it's looking great already son.
3:07
- Okay, mom, let's put some of our other stuff up in here.
3:10
- [Jamie] We've got some fresh kernel corn
3:12
that we've thawed out.
3:14
- So, you've got fresh frozen then?
3:16
- Fresh frozen, yes ma'am.
3:17
If you were to put two cups right over here,
3:20
- We're going to toss all this,
3:21
but you're trying to make stuff look pretty is a hard habit.
3:23
- This is beautiful y'all.
3:28
And I love the fact that you're
3:29
just using the heart of the romaine.
3:33
- Just enough of the outside to
3:34
give us some deep green going
3:35
Now we got, this is two cans
3:37
of black beans that we've drained and
3:39
rinsed off and rinsed them cause you know,
3:42
- Yeah, they can get kind of sticky.
3:45
- That's a lot of black beans,
3:47
but that's what makes it such a hardy, filling salad.
3:49
- Yeah, this can be a one meal salad
3:52
because you've got your protein
3:55
from the black beans and you've got your cheese group,
3:58
you've got your vegetable group.
4:00
- If we throw a stick of butter in there,
4:01
it'd be the whole Dane family food pyramid just about.
4:05
- And we've also got kind of, staying with that,
4:07
that Southwestern flavor, we're going to
4:09
put some pepper Jack cheese up in here.
4:11
So momma, if you wanna just cube up, some of that cheese.
4:14
- How much of this cheese are we supposed to use sonny boy?
4:17
- As much as we want to, I want to chunk up about a cup.
4:24
This is probably very close to a cup.
4:27
Now would Jack eat this?
4:30
- He would, he loves beans and corn
4:32
and tomatoes and avocados.
4:34
He's, he's warming up to lettuce.
4:37
That's one piece too many.
4:41
That's perfect. Okay. Now let's, let's dress it mama.
4:46
I'm going to put just a little cracked black pepper
4:49
on that. It just looked so deserving of black pepper
4:53
and I'm going to just salt it a little for you.
4:56
That looks really, really delicious. Jamie.
4:59
- Yeah, it's important y'all
5:00
don't feel like you have to turn this to death.
5:02
We don't want to kill it.
5:02
We're just going to toss it enough
5:04
so that the dressing coats.
5:05
- Why don't you just toss some on your mama's plate
5:09
and don't be stingy with the avocado.
5:21
- Found this fabulous.
5:24
- Super simple too y'all.
5:26
You can believe this.
