00:00My name is Chris Comerford. I am the White House Executive Chef, and we are at the White House Main
00:06Kitchen.
00:09So I have in front of me five different ingredients that every millennial should have in their kitchen.
00:15Refinery29 picked these five ingredients for the First Lady's Give Me Five Challenge.
00:20We have broccoli, whole wheat orzo pasta, feta cheese, olive oil, and avocados.
00:26The dish that we're doing today is whole wheat orzo with pan-roasted broccoli in avocado oil, vinaigret, and garnished
00:34with a little feta cheese crumbles.
00:36Broccoli is such a wonderful vegetable. It works better when it's steamed as opposed to like cooking it raw.
00:43So you don't have to be like an expert chef to kind of do this, you know, just use a
00:47little paring knife, which probably most of you would have at home.
00:50Steam it or pan-roast it a little bit.
00:52If I am to choose the best green vegetable, for me it would be a broccoli.
00:58The whole wheat orzo pasta, whole grain versus white pasta is much better for you.
01:03And it kind of like emulates the same kind of texture of rice.
01:07So it gives me the same feel of a white rice, but it's not, and it's better for me.
01:12This is California avocado, which is a house avocado.
01:16Filipinos do actually use this for dessert.
01:18When I came here in the United States and then they used this for guacamole, I'm like, oh, a savory
01:23avocado, you know, which I didn't understand at the time when I moved here.
01:27Feta cheese.
01:28It could be made from sheep's milk.
01:29It could be made from goat cheese.
01:31So you only need a little bit, and it goes a long way.
01:34We are using extra virgin olive oil because this is not processed in heat.
01:38So it could be used for any dishes.
01:40This is the dressing, which is an avocado oil vinaigrette.
01:44The one thing that I assume millennials would not have in their home is like a nice blender that chefs
01:49kind of use.
01:50But this is a very simple dressing that you could make with a fork.
01:55As you can see, it's starting to get creamy already, so it's good.
01:59I'm just going to grab all of this broccoli from the stove and just kind of add it on, add
02:07our dressing.
02:09One cool thing about this dish is that you could kind of like, you know, serve it and eat it
02:13at a different temperature.
02:15It could be good like a warm pasta, or it could be good as a room temperature pasta, which is
02:21what it is right now.
02:22And it's actually not that much calories.
02:24You have all the nutritional value of the different five ingredients that you challenge me to make.
