0:00
- Hey y'all, welcome to my kitchen!
0:04
The last few videos I've done have been all
0:06
about air-frying, and I'm gonna be sharing some
0:11
more air-frying recipes with y'all, because you know what?
0:16
When summer gets here it is so hot,
0:18
what are they saying the heat index is out there?
0:24
- [Producer] Yeah, it's horrible.
0:26
- And I worry about our little children outside
0:29
playing in this heat because children, their bodies,
0:34
three to five times their temp moves up faster
0:38
than an adult, so y'all be careful.
0:42
And the last thing I, oops.
0:43
The last thing I want to do, y'all,
0:45
is turn on that big ol' jet aeroliner
0:49
over there and heat up this kitchen.
0:52
Well, when I use my air fryer,
0:54
I don't have to worry about the heat.
0:57
I don't have to worry about all
0:58
the electricity it's pulling.
1:01
So during the summer especially, especially,
1:04
I love taking advantage of this,
1:07
'cause there's so many pluses about it.
1:09
And more and more people are turning to the air fryers,
1:13
and I'll just tell you right now,
1:15
if you wanna check my particular brand out,
1:19
you can go to Amazon, it's Paula Deen Shop Amazon,
1:24
and you can get the details, should you be interested.
1:28
Personally, I couldn't do without mine.
1:30
I use mine, I have two sitting side by side,
1:33
and sometimes I got 'em both going.
1:36
But, you know, it's not hot in my kitchen,
1:38
and I love that, y'all.
1:44
we also get wonderful, wonderful tomatoes.
1:50
So I'm gonna share with y'all
1:56
a wonderful broiled, it's called broiled tomato.
2:00
And it too is in my air fryer cookbook.
2:05
And of course, this doesn't have a broiler on it,
2:08
but because of the intensity of the air blowing on it,
2:12
it appears to broil too because things get brown.
2:16
So, I'm gonna start by cutting this tomato
2:28
and look at that beautiful tomato, y'all.
2:33
That is one pretty tomato.
2:36
And, you know, I've gotten where all I wanna use
2:39
is heirloom tomatoes.
2:44
They've just got a flavor that's so intense.
2:50
This is just a green tomato.
2:50
- [Cameraman] That's a green.
2:51
- That's not an heirloom is it.
2:53
In fact, I've got to go to the store apparently
2:56
this was our last heirloom, but they are so good, y'all.
3:01
All right, so to start this recipe,
3:03
I'm gonna use a half of a sleeve
3:08
of a buttery cracker,
3:11
I've got blue cheese crumbles, let's see, one ounce,
3:16
won't this come up, will this recipe turn up for them?
3:20
- [Producer] Oh, yeah!
3:21
- Okay good, so y'all have this recipe.
3:24
And four slices of cooked bacon crumbled,
3:31
spring onion, green onion,
3:33
I think some people might even call them scallions.
3:36
But to us down here, we just call 'em green onions.
3:41
All right, and let's see, how much butter is that?
3:44
A tablespoon of butter melted,
3:49
and we're just gonna stir all this together.
3:53
And if your husband is cooking a steak on the grill,
3:58
this would be a wonderful side for it.
4:04
I'm gonna melt some more butter
4:08
because that's not sticking enough
4:11
for it to even hold the crumbs together.
4:15
- [Producer] That's why I put the butter
4:17
dish right by you, because I know you would.
4:20
- Yes, so I'm gonna pop some more because we want
4:23
it to be able to stick together.
4:28
So, that won't take but a second.
4:33
But according to the recipe,
4:35
you know, I work on so many things and I have
4:39
wonderful help that helps me come up with recipes
4:43
and tests and all that.
4:47
I've noticed sometimes I do have to come in and, y'know,
4:51
change things around a little bit.
4:53
But when I come up on that,
4:55
I try to tell y'all what my thoughts are.
5:10
That would probably be another heaping tablespoon maybe.
5:14
Okay, we may need some more, we may not.
5:18
But I think that that's gonna get it.
5:22
Now it's sticking together as it should.
5:30
Now, the recipe does not call for you to scoop any
5:35
of the tomato out, but because I want to get
5:40
a good bit of this filling in there,
5:42
I'm gonna scoop some out.
5:47
I'm gonna just try to do this with my small little scooper.
5:57
I may have to bring in the old knife.
6:01
Like I said, I'm scooping out just a little bit, y'all.
6:05
So give me more room for all our good stuff
6:11
like that bacon, (laughs)
6:18
like that bacon and them bread crumbs. (laughs)
6:24
So, before we put this in the oven, we wanna salt
6:30
and pepper it, and then I'm gonna just, oops!
6:36
Reach in here, and scoop some of this up,
6:43
and put it right on top of that tomato.
6:51
Almost wish I woulda dug out a little bit more, y'all.
7:06
So, we're gonna put this in our air fryer,
7:09
and we are going to bake it on 350
7:15
for I think 10 minutes.
7:17
- [Producer] I think it's actually 400.
7:19
- No, I think it said.
7:20
- [Producer] Does it say 350?
7:21
- I think, let me see. I got to put on my glasses.
7:27
- [Producer] I might be thinking of the chicken.
7:41
- 350 degrees for 10 minutes, y'all.
7:54
So, this is gonna be delicious.
8:02
And I'll see y'all back in 10 minutes, how's that?
8:12
So, it's been 10 minutes, y'all,
8:15
and I wanna show you this beautiful side dish
8:23
that is really on the healthy side.
8:27
You know, I tell you what,
8:30
I am very guilty of not using recipes,
8:36
and so it's hard for me to sometimes formulate a recipe,
8:43
because even my own recipes that I formulated,
8:48
You know, I tell y'all to use a recipe the first time,
8:50
go right by what it says, and then then next time,
8:53
dadgummit, make it your own.
8:55
Because you know what I woulda put in this now
8:58
that I'm opening it and looking at it?
9:00
I woulda put a little mayonnaise.
9:02
- [Cameraman] I thought you were going to say goat cheese.
9:05
No, I wasn't gonna say goat cheese. (gags)
9:09
There's very little things that make me--
9:10
- [Producer] The cure to anything is mayonnaise,
9:12
haven't you noticed that?
9:13
That's been the answer.
9:14
- Mayonnaise would have made a wonderful binder,
9:17
rather than adding more melted butter to it.
9:21
I was thinking diet, no I wasn't, I'm lying. (laughs)
9:24
I can't get away with that one.
9:26
But anyway, that would have given you the taste of a BLT.
9:31
You know, you've got your bacon, your tomato,
9:33
and you got your mayonnaise on your bread kinda like?
9:37
So, that's just a thought.
9:39
But I hope you like this recipe as much as we do,
9:43
because it's just perfect for a summer meal.
9:51
Put that on a nice salad,
9:54
and that could be your whole entire meal, right? (laughs)
10:01
- (laughs) Oh, you think that was sincere, y'all?
10:05
- You think those yeses were sincere?
10:08
- [Producer] They were.
10:09
- Well thank y'all very much,
10:10
I hope that y'all enjoy the videos using my air fryer,
10:14
because I'm certainly enjoying sharing them with y'all.
10:18
I love you, and I'm sending you, along with that love,
10:24
wishes for best dishes.
