On this week's Dinner SOS episode, Chris Morocco and Shilpa Uskokovic assist George, a chef who struggles with cooking plant-based proteins following his diabetes diagnosis. Despite his culinary training, George finds cooking quinoa challenging, often resulting in underwhelming dishes. To help him, Morocco and Uskokovic provide guidance on preparing quinoa effectively and introduce him to other protein-rich plant options like lentils. They share appealing recipes that could help George embrace plant-based cooking, emphasizing its benefits and tastiness. The episode explores the journey of transitioning from traditional cooking to creativity in plant-based cuisine.
George explains, 'Quinoa is my nemesis. I cannot cook quinoa to save my life.' This highlights the challenges he faces in adapting to plant-based cooking post-diagnosis.
Test kitchen director Chris Morocco and editor Shilpa Uskokovic team up to provide practical tips to George, emphasizing the potential of plant-based proteins beyond just quinoa.
They suggest recipes like Soy and Scallion Tofu Bowl and Glazed Sweet Potatoes and Lentils to inspire George and help him diversify his culinary repertoire with plant proteins.
Morocco’s approach aims to not only solve George's quinoa problem but also to introduce him to the broader, flavorful world of plant-based cooking, making it more appealing.
