>>> FOOD IS SPONSORED BY SILK. FEEL PLENTY GOOD. >> BACK NOW WITH “TODAY” FOOD, THE BIG GAME JUST DAYS AWAY. IT’S TIME NAIL DOWN YOUR SUPER BOWL MENU. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIGHTENED UP, SOME LIGHTENED UP VERSION OF GAME DAY CLASSICS,
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS. SO CHEF MOLLY YAY IS THE AUTHOR OF THE “NEW YORK TIMES” BEST SELLER, HOME IS WHERE THE EGGS ARE. SHE HAS THREE PERFECT RECIPES FOR THIS SUNDAY. ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU. SO YOU’RE GOING TO DO A GREAT
DIP WITH GARLIC AT THE CENTER. >> THIS IS MY ROASTED GARLIC WHITE BEAN DIP. IT’S SO FLAVORFUL, REALLY CREAMY AND MAKES THE HOUSE SMELL AMAZING. YOU START OFF BY ROASTING GARLIC. THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO EAT A WHOLE HEAD OF GARLIC. >> MAKE SURE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES, TOO.
>> THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT. YOU CUT OFF THE HEAD OF YOUR GARLIC HEADS, DRIZZLE WITH OLIVE OIL, SPRINKLE WITH SALT, WRAP IT UP WITH FOIL, TOSS IT IN THE OVEN, THE CLOVES CARAMELIZE, GET A LITTLE SWEET, AND THEY MEL IT OUT, AND IT’S SO SATISFYING TO
SQUISH OUT ALL OF THE — SO IN THE FOOD PROCESSOR, WE’VE GOT OUR WHITE BEANS, AND YOU CAN USE NAVY BEANS, CANNELLINI BEANS, ANYTHING TO GIVE IT THAT CREAMY BODY. IN GOES THE GARLIC AND ESSENTIALLY ALL OF GARLIC’S BEST FRIENDS. >> GARLIC’S BEST FRIENDS.
>> ROSEMARY, SMOKED PAPRIKA, SALT AND PEPPER, OF COURSE. AND TYPICALLY WHEN I MAKE A WHITE BEAN DIP, I LOAD IT UP WITH OLIVE OIL TO GIVE IT THAT LIQUID TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER. TODAY I’M CUTTING IT WITH HALF ALMOND MILK, WHICH GIVES IT THIS
PLEASANT FLUFFINESS AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN EAT MORE THIS WAY, TOO. >> THAT IS SO GOOD. >> OLIVE OIL AND ALMOND MILK GETS BLENDED IT’S SUPER SMOOTH AND FINISH IT WITH CHILI OIL. THIS IS BRIGHT RED FOR THE RED TEAM.
>> THIS IS VERY NICE. >> SILK ALMOND MILK GOES RIGHT IN HERE. WE LOVE ALMOND MILK IN MY HOUSE. YOU CAN EAT IT WITH A SPOON LIKE AL JUST DID. >> NOW WE’VE GOT SOME SLIDERS. >> NOW WE’VE GOT SLIDERS. THESE ARE MY TURKEY SPINACH MEATBALL SLIDERS.
I LOVE THESE LITTLE GUYS. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FLAVOR AND PACK A LOT OF MOISTURE, WHICH ISN’T ALWAYS A GIVEN WITH A TURKEY BURGER. AND PROTEIN. YOU START BY COOKING UP YOUR ONION IN SOME OIL WITH A LITTLE SALT. >> THAT SMELLS AMAZING.
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE BEST-SMELLING SUPER BOWL PARTY. GARLIC, MORE GARLIC, NO VAMPIRES AT THIS PARTY. AND THEN I LOVE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF FENNEL SEED, BECAUSE FENNEL JUST LENDS THIS SORT OF ITALIAN SAUSAGE ENERGY. AND THIS IS MY TODDLER MOM
TRICK, WHICH IS, I SHOVE A BUNCH OF SPINACH. AND YOU CAN USE FRESH OR FROZEN. THIS IS FROZEN. IF YOU START OFF WITH FRESH, IT’S — >> IT’S CRAZY HOW MUCH IT WILTS DOWN. >> IT REALLY WILTS DOWN. >> DO YOU WANT TO SQUEEZE OUT THE WATER? >> YES.
>> LET THIS COOL FOR A BIT BEFORE YOU ADD IT TO THE MIXTURE, AND WE HAVE THE GROUND TURKEY HERE. YOU CAN ADD BREAD CRUMBS SOAKSED IN MILK. YOU CAN USE ALMOND MILK, WHOLE MILK, ANY SORT OF MILK. >> WHY DO YOU SOAK THEM IN THE MILK?
>> IT ALLOWS THE BREAD CRUMBS TO ABSORB, SO IT HELPS THEM TO STAY TOGETHER. AND IT IS ALSO YOUR INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST A DRY BURGER. VEGGIES CAN GO IN, AN EGG WILL BIND IT ALL TOGETHER, SALT AND PEPPER. I LIKE TO ADD A LITTLE CRUSHED
RED PEPPER FOR A KISS OF HEAT AND LOADS OF PARMESAN CHEESE, ADDS SO MUCH FLAVOR. YOU CAN SHAPE THEM, AND THIS IS LIKE MY GO-TO MEATBALL RECIPE. YOU CAN DO MEATBALLS. HOW DO THEY TASTE? >> DELICIOUS! VERY MOIST. >> VERY MOIST. >> A LITTLE SALT —
>> SO THE SALT ON THE OUTSIDE HELPS YOU GET THAT CRUST, AND YOU CAN ADD THEM TO SOME HOT OIL. YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT SIZZLE. >> DOES IT MATTER WHAT KIND OF OIL? >> NEUTRAL OIL, OLIVE OIL. ANYTHING WITH A HIGHER SMOKE POINT. AVOCADO OIL.
MY MOM IS OBSESSED WITH AVOCADO OIL. >> I’VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO IT. >> I’M — I’M GETTING THERE. >> THAT’S HOW I FEEL, TOO. >> AND THIS CAKE LOOKS REALLY YUMMY. >> SOMETHING A LITTLE SWEET FOR THE PARTY. THIS IS A REALLY EASY ONE-BOWL CAKE.
THE BATTER COMES TOGETHER IN ONE BOWL. AN ALMOND BUTTER CAKE MADE WITH ALMOND BUTTER. KIND OF LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY. >> YOU CAN EAT THAT BECAUSE YOU — >> I DON’T LIKE PEANUT BUTTER, EITHER. I’VE NEVER MET — >> THE FIRST PEOPLE I’VE EVER
MET THAT DON’T LIKE PEANUT BUTTER. >> THE SMELL, EVEN. GOOD JOB ON THE CAKE, THOUGH. >> MOLLY, ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> YOU’VE GOT T
