Giada's Chicken Parmesan

Male: What we’re going to do today is we’re going to put together a chicken
parmesan using stuff in your pantry. We got two onions chopped up, and
we got about three cloves of garlic here and you just get the olive oil right
there.

Female: Yes.

Male: Okay add some olive oil in the bottom of the pot. Just give a little --. Okay
so we got the onions, garlic, we will saute this stuff down. I’ll tell you, as
soon as you started putting onions, a little olive oil, the smell is great and
the kids start running.

We’ll get some fresh basil, right there. We’ve got that on your garden.

Female: Okay.

Male: I think, I probably ripped up, I don’t know maybe four or five leaves. Just
rip it out like that. Alright, so we’ve got some olive here right.

Female: You’re going to put them in whole.

Male: Yes. Put it as whole, just like that. You do not have to chop everything up.
I know it was kind of nice. I will just sauté this stuff down nice. This is
going to be the base of our tomato sauce.

Female: Great I will never put, thought I’d put olives in there, but I like that.

Male: Oh, this is going to be delicious. So we’ve got bay leaf here. Now one
maybe two like that. We will cook the onions down until they start to get
translucent. Nice and sweet, kind of developed their natural sugars. Then
we will toss the tomatoes in. Alright we will take our whole tomatoes and
then put them on the crusher.

Whole tomatoes, boom. Like that, now basically, I’m just stick my hand
on the bowl with clean hands right. Now as we got that sort of — we’re
going to come to the old crusher like that.

Female: Am I going too much?

Male: It is good. It is good. Okay so, we’re going to add this tomato whole at this
point right. So you got your whole tomato crush, hand crush right. Be
careful so like there’s nothing splashed like tomatoes.

Male: Then now, we are going to add a little bit sugar, there’s some sugar back
in someplace here, a little bit of sugar like that, salt. The secrets of good
marinara sauce, is you want to keep the flavors really kind of bright. It’s
not like we’re going to cook this down for long periods of time. So I want
