- Hey dudes, I'm Hilah and today
on Hilah Cooking I'm here with
00:00
my friend Nataly Dawn from
the band Pomplamoose.
00:02
- Pomplamoose.
- And we are gonna make
00:06
empanadas to celebrate
her new album.
00:08
I'm really excited about this
00:12
and thanks for talking
about my album.
00:13
That's really nice of you.
00:16
- Well, you haven't heard
everything to say about it, yet.
00:17
- So we're gonna start
making some empanada dough.
00:31
- I'm gonna mash this together.
00:35
- What are these things?
00:37
- This is better
and cream cheese.
00:39
- I'm gonna hold the
bowl so I'm doing a thing.
00:42
- That's good, yeah.
00:45
- [Nataly] I'm gonna
spin it a little bit.
00:46
- [Hilah] Shake it up.
00:47
That bowl has flour and cornmeal
and salt and I like to add a
00:48
little cornmeal in
for some nice texture.
00:52
- I like texture.
- That's great.
00:55
It's also corn so it's a
00:57
vegetable so
you feel like you're--
00:59
- That's a good point.
- eating a little more veggies.
01:01
- Okay, so now you can
dump that stuff in here.
01:04
- [Nataly] Like altogether?
- [Hilah] Let's do half.
01:06
And I'm just gonna mix--
- I'm helping.
01:10
So, you can add the rest now.
01:14
- [Nataly] That
is looking great.
01:16
You know before it just looked
like butter and cream cheese and
01:18
now it's starting
to look like dough.
01:20
- Yeah.
- So, good work.
01:22
Take off my jewels.
01:24
It's easier just to get, oh God.
- Sorry, just wanna.
01:25
It's almost the same size.
01:34
- Okay, so you weren't really
watching but you can watch
01:39
the replay on camera.
- Sorry about that.
01:41
I was just combining rings.
01:43
Look, all of our
rings are there now.
01:45
Just in case you need
my hands at any point.
01:46
I just wanted to...
- Be ready.
01:48
Do you want to touch this dough?
01:50
It's kind of nice.
- [Nataly] Yeah.
01:52
Should I wash,
I didn't (groans).
01:54
- [Hilah] See, it's like soft.
01:57
- [Nataly] Oh, that
feels really nice.
01:58
- [Hilah] Cool.
- [Nataly] I like this.
02:00
- [Hilah] And solid but if we
tried to roll it out now it'd be
02:02
really sticky so I'm gonna put
in the fridge for a little while
02:05
we make the filling.
- Oh, great.
02:08
- Okay so our dough is
chilled and we just made our
02:10
black bean empanada filling.
02:13
If you want to see how to
make this I'll put the video on
02:14
Nataly's channel and I'll link
to that in a little card and
02:17
down below but you can use
like taco filling and I've got a
02:20
million taco filling
recipes on the channel already.
02:22
You can use shredded chicken.
02:24
You could just use cheese and
02:26
vegetables you can
use whatever you want.
02:26
- You could put a sock in it.
02:29
- So I'm gonna rolling this out.
02:32
- [Nataly] And how
thick do you want it to be?
02:34
- [Hilah] About a
quarter of an inch.
02:36
- I turned the fridge off so
02:40
it's not as cold
as it should be.
02:41
- Oh.
- I just realized that.
02:42
- And then you're flipping it.
02:46
- I want to add a
little more flour.
02:48
- [Nataly] And then
you're rolling it.
02:49
- [Hilah] So it doesn't stick.
- [Nataly] Oh.
02:51
- Then I'm gonna
flip it back over.
02:53
- You got it.
You got this.
02:56
- Hot Pockets.
- Hot Pockets.
03:00
- Has that song
been written already?
03:02
If not, we should write it.
03:03
- The Hot Pockets song?
03:05
- Yeah, that's
been taken I guess.
03:07
- This is beautiful.
03:11
- I've got this big cutter.
03:12
If you don't have on like this
you can use a smaller one and
03:13
make little empanadas.
03:16
- How many
empanadas does this make?
03:18
- Well, if the dough was colder
and I was able to roll it out
03:20
thinner you'd
probably get like six.
03:23
- But it's not rolling out that
thin because we (censored) up.
03:26
- [Nataly] Good. It's
good to be honest.
03:32
So make sure you don't turn
your fridge off before your
03:34
refrigerate your dough.
- Right.
03:36
- And I like to transfer the
dough circles first and then
03:38
fill 'em just 'cause it seems
like it gets a little tricky to
03:43
fill, to move them
once they're filled.
03:45
- You want to grab a
couple pieces of cheese.
03:49
- We're using a
Mexican Oaxacan cheese here.
03:52
You can use any kind of cheese
or you can leave the cheese out
03:54
but I don't know why
you'd want to do that.
03:57
- Then, you just
sort of fold it over.
03:59
Sometimes you might need
to sort of manipulate it.
04:01
- [Nataly] Oh my
gosh, that's beautiful.
04:04
- [Hilah] I should have let you
do this one because I think it's
04:06
gonna be easier than this one
04:07
but do you want
to try to do that one?
04:08
- [Nataly] Mhmmm.
- Don't mess up.
04:10
- Thank you for letting me
come into your kitchen.
04:11
- You're welcome.
I'm glad you're here.
04:13
- Congratulations
on your new album.
04:16
Thanks so much, it feels
so good to be done with it,
04:18
let me tell you.
- Yeah, I bet.
04:21
- Just a weight
off my shoulders.
04:23
- And you're going to be doing
some videos to go with it, too?
04:24
- Yeah, so many videos.
- Yay!
04:27
- Music video for every song.
- Wow.
04:29
How many songs are on it?
04:32
- I hope that's
true, by the way.
04:35
- That's a (laughs).
04:36
Approximately nine.
04:39
- There are eight songs,
there are 10 songs on the album.
04:40
Now you have options depending
04:44
on how many
songs are on the album.
04:46
(Hilah laughs)
Two.
04:49
- Two songs.
- Two songs on the album.
04:51
- But they're really long.
- Really long songs.
04:53
- [Hilah] Oh look,
we didn't do too bad.
04:57
- [Nataly] You did a
great job on those.
04:58
- Proud of that.
- Yeah.
05:00
- Now I normally don't like
to make videos that are this
05:02
unprofessional with dough that's
too warm to roll out properly
05:04
but I think that--
- With people like this.
05:08
- I think that you can just
learn something from our mistake
05:11
and make sure you refrigerate
your dough really well.
05:16
- Anyone, even a musician.
05:21
- Notoriously flaky.
- That's what empanadas have
05:24
in common with musicians.
05:27
I'm going to apply
this cheese carefully.
05:29
- [Hilah] Here we go.
05:33
I'm gonna scooch this one.
05:33
- [Nataly] You're
really good at that.
05:36
- Well this one, this one
definitely is not gonna
05:37
be our pride and joy.
(Nataly laughs)
05:39
We're gonna do a little egg wash
05:41
on top because it'll
make a nice and shiny.
05:42
- Oh, that's a great idea.
05:46
- And it will cover
up all our mistakes.
05:47
- That's a great idea.
05:48
- Okay, now I'm also gonna
use the fork to sort of.
05:52
- [Nataly] (gasps).
- [Hilah] Go around the edges.
05:55
- [Nataly] Oh my goodness,
you're making them pretty.
05:57
- [Hilah] Yeah,
well, I'm trying.
06:00
It's the same thing I do
with my face everyday.
06:02
Try to make it pretty.
06:04
With a fork and some raw eggs.
06:06
- Might want to try
a different tools.
06:10
- Have you been
to the beauty bar?
06:13
- [Nataly] I really want one
of those things because
06:17
my brushes get all gross.
06:19
- Oh, like a silicone one?
- Yeah.
06:22
- Do you have the
natural fiber ones?
06:24
- Yeah, I think that was fine in
the pioneer days but like guys
06:26
we have plastics now.
06:31
So then just to make sure
they don't burst open any more,
06:32
I'm gonna do a little
hole in the top.
06:35
That one probably doesn't need
06:40
it 'cause it's got
holes all in it but...
06:41
It's okay, we love you anyways.
- You're still gonna be tasty.
06:44
- The ugly empanada.
- That's a good kids book.
06:47
- So then we'll put these in the
06:51
oven at 375 for
probably 15, 20 minutes.
06:52
- Okay, while they
cool, I'm gonna make a dip.
07:09
- With mayonnaise because I know
07:13
that mayonnaise
is your favorite food.
07:14
- I love mayonnaise.
- I love mayonnaise.
07:15
- My second favorite food group.
07:18
- [Hilah] So I've got a little
minced garlic in there already.
07:19
- [Nataly] Ooh, sneaky.
07:22
- [Hilah] And I'm gonna do a
little bit more orange zest.
07:23
- [Nataly] Orange zest.
- [Hilah] Mhmmm.
07:25
- [Nataly] That looks great.
07:27
- Then we're gonna
add some orange juice.
07:28
- [Nataly] This is
beautiful, by the way.
07:29
- [Hilah] Thank you.
07:31
Oh, don't get the
seeds in there.
07:32
- [Nataly] No bueno.
07:34
- [Hilah] But I do find that
oranges with seeds taste better.
07:35
Do you agree with me?
07:38
- So not eating the seeds but
the fact that they contain the
07:39
seeds makes them taste better.
07:42
- [Hilah] Yeah.
- [Nataly] Got it.
07:45
- [Hilah] Sweeter.
I mean doesn't it smell good?
07:45
It smells like super fresh.
07:46
- It looks perfect and
smells perfect and
07:47
everything is perfect.
07:50
- [Hilah] And a little
bit of lime juice, too.
07:52
- [Nataly] Oh my gosh.
07:53
Isn't that, don't they say that
the smell of oranges is supposed
08:00
to make you in a
good mood or something?
08:02
- Feeling happy?
- I feel great.
08:06
- Okay, so be sure to check
out Nataly's channel, A, for the
08:08
filling recipe and also B, for
new music videos that are coming
08:11
out really soon if they're
not already out right now.
08:14
- Yeah. This is really fun.
08:17
- This is so fun
to cook together.
08:18
- Should we eat
some empanadas now?
08:21
- I would love that.
- Okay.
08:22
Oh yeah, the
cheese has cooled off.
08:23
- That's a nice little
cheese flab on there.
08:27
- (laughs) Cheese flab.
08:29
- Put some dip on that flab.
08:32
Sorry, that's disgusting.
08:34
- [Hilah] There's a
little dip for you.
08:36
- [Nataly] Mmmm.
- [Hilah] I'll have a little dip.
08:38
- Oh God, I love the orange.
08:43
- Yeah, right.
- Mhmmm.
08:46
I love the orange and the butter
and the cheese and the beans.
08:48
- Alright, we should probably
continue this weird empanada
08:52
Thank you so much for watching.
08:56
We should like, we should
do a song together sometime.
08:59
- That'd be really cool.
- Yeah.
09:02
- In fact, let's do a song and
let's do a music video and let's
09:03
have it be about food and let's
put it out in like two weeks.
09:06
- Sounds like a plan, man.
09:09
