Kind: captions Language: en hey there dr will lee here back with five with dr lee i'm actually doing it tonight because i taped a video earlier and i um actually found some cool food i want to show you five with dr lou so i'm going to show you five ingredients but check this baby out i found fresh porcini mushrooms this is called bolitas edgeless it is a mushroom that is used prized for cooking absolutely delicious usually find it dry and i would cook with it in risotto or whatever but this is really a really cool find especially this time of the year fresh porcini mushrooms so i bought a a small bag of it and i want to show you what i cook it with but first i want to tell you what's in it all right so the thing about mushrooms is that they contain a natural bioactive called beta glucan beta glucan's a soluble fiber good for the gut microbiome boosts the immunity your immunity and that she's been shown to be cancer starving so this is part of the eat to beat disease kind of formula porcini mushrooms and these they taste really really great meaty nutty absolutely delicious so um where is the beta glucan it is in both the cap let me show you the cap here's the cap and it's in the stem and for porcini okay you want to make sure that you're actually eating the stem as well you just slice this by the side let me show you a bigger one right here all right so do not just eat the cap you want to eat both slice up the cap slice up the stem and you'll get your beta d glucan all right what else do i actually cook it with how do i prepare it so we slice it up takes me just a couple of minutes oh by the way you really kind of just want to wipe down the porcini with a damp cloth or towel you actually don't want to soak it you don't want to really do too much to it so brush off the dirt and what's the second thing i uh prepare i chop up some garlic garlic has allicin so i just take a couple of cloves peel them chop them up allison actually the garlic bioactive is a boost immune system now we're talking about porcini mushrooms with beta glucan and garlic both boost the immune system now let me show you what else that i have that's a second ingredient this is olive oil now i got this from a friend of mine um and this is a greek olive oil my friend is greek comes from a fancy peasant and this is an organic greek olive oil and what i love about greek olive oil is that you can get it with koranki olives that's a mono varietal of olives that has really high levels of polyphenols hydroxytyrazine that does what helps your immune system protects your stem cells anti-angiogenic cancer starving and tastes great so i cut up my mushrooms i chop up the garlic i've got my olive oil you can kind of see where i'm going with this let me show you another one now i was looking for parsley in my refrigerator i didn't have any so i'm just going to show you some dried parsley can also work really well for this now what's in parsley apogenin that's another bioactive that's actually been shown to be cancer starving okay so we got four ingredients they all so far each one of the machi boosts immune system and the final thing that i actually put in this dish is some black peppercorns okay just kind of twist them off now that's got piperine pipperine is another bioactive that can starve cancers by cutting off the blood supply so porcini mushrooms uh actually let me just tell you what you do so i take a pan like a cast iron pan i put some olive oil in it okay not too much maybe two tablespoons three tablespoons and then i take the chopped up garlic i saute it i let it kind of heat up over medium high until it's really fragrant and the garlic is actually turning kind of like a slightly golden brown don't do not let it burn that's the key that's the key sin of cooking with garlic is to let it burn so now you flavor the oil and then what i do is i take up the chopped up porcini mushrooms okay that this is a sliced up version of this and they just pop it right in there now here's what you do you let it just cook on one side do not stir it very much let the oil absorb the heat up the the heat up from the pan will actually cook the water mushrooms are about 80 water it'll rapidly cook it what i do with the pan i flip it just once or twice maybe just turn it over so the other side is actually being cooked same way the heat will cook it through you are done in two minutes now what i actually do is while you know it's kind of heating within those two minutes i'll put some parsley now if i had fresh parsley to use it but the dried was just as good with the apogenin and at the very end i squeeze a couple of rounds of fresh cracked pepper and then i'm done and literally in two minutes you actually just take a spoon scoop it up serve it in a dish and man you have an amazing fresh porcini dish that you can serve and it's so good you could actually have it just by itself with a salad you could put it on a salad or you could actually top a pasta you could do all kinds of things with porcini mushrooms i just wanted to share it with you guys dr lee out oh by the way you want to hear more about food and medicine come to my website
