0:04:21 > 0:04:27- Mackenzie Crook is under all - of that make-up as the archdruid...

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- We start with the onions...
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- ..and will build the flavours - in the frying pan.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10- There's some garlic.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Squash it and remove the skin.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- It's much easier than peeling it - as it releases the clove.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- That's a great way to do it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Finely chop it - or use a garlic press.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- You could also just use - paste from a bottle.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- In goes the garlic.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- The next stage - is to choose your chilli.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- There's a simple rule for this.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- The smaller the chilli, - the hotter it will be...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- ..as it's had less time to mature...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- ..but the large ones - can be spicy too!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- That was just a general rule.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- I'm using regular chillies.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- You can use a small Scotch bonnet - chilli which is very hot.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- You should wear gloves - to handle those!
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- There's smaller chillies - that have more of a kick.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Add as much or as little - to suit your own taste.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06- Do you like it spicy, Sian?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Do you like it spicy, Sian?- - Yes, but not too hot.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I like it to have some kick.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- I thought you would have removed - the seeds whilst chopping it...
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- ..but you've kept them.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Yes, these aren't very hot chillies - so don't worry about the seeds.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Does the heat come from the seeds?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- The seeds and the white membrane - in the middle.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- These contain the spores - that bind with cells in your tongue.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- They bind with the tongue - and give the spice.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Removing the seeds reduces the heat.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Yes, it's still hot but not as hot!
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- Next, we add some tinned tomatoes - to create the sauce.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Where would we be - without tinned tomatoes?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- They are fantastic and so useful.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- We need to add the dried spices - at the same time.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- I've got a cinnamon stick - and that can go in the pan.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08- There's also some dried cumin - and dried coriander.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- I'm also adding a touch of paprika.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- It's smelling wonderful now.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- I used a smoked paprika - as opposed to a spicy paprika...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- ..which is another flavour.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26- It's very similar to spaghetti - bolognaise but this is spicy.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- Yes, exactly.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Next, we add some red wine.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- This is brought to the boil - for ten minutes...
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- ..before turning down the heat and - being left to simmer for 40 minutes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- You get a better flavour if it's - cooked for longer so don't rush it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- The meat tenderizes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- The chilli in this other pan - has been cooking for about an hour.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- That one's hotter as I can see the - Scotch bonnets in it!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- You were quick at spotting that.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Those are Piquante peppers that are - very sweet but they look similar.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- It's another flavour.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- We'll finish the chilli - with some fresh coriander.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- It gives the chilli - a very flesh flavour.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- Scatter it over the top.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15- It's very colourful.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- Are those small peppers the ones - that are often stuffed with cheese?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yes, that's right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Oh, the ones stuffed - with a cream cheese.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- I'm going to serve this chilli - with a few tortillas.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Make them into pockets by - folding them in half and half again.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- This creates a little pocket.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- We're going to fill - some of the pocket with rice.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- This is quite a simple dish.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- It's very easy to prepare - and cheap to make too.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- This dish would cost about 10 - to feed a family of four.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Any leftovers could be frozen - and eaten at a later date.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Yes, or prepare it in the morning - and reheat it later.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Some dishes are better reheated and - eaten the following day like cawl.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Add the chilli.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16- We've got some guacamole - to serve with it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- If you've made a hot chilli...
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- ..you can have some sour cream - on the side.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Mmm, that looked delicious.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- The Royal Welsh Showground...
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- ..is the home - of the 2018 Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- We're aware - of a child's physical health...
0:34:14 > 0:34:19- ..but this is about making - a child aware of their feelings...
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- ..and boosting their concentration - skills in a classroom.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- We're very excited - about using this app.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51- ..they have a session - for a few minutes...
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- ..so it puts them in a good place - to concentrate when they start work.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- I feel relaxed when I do it - and forget what's around me.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- If I'm worried or something - has happened at break time...
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- ..I can't concentrate on my work - so it helps with that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- It's been a new experience - for most of our pupils...
