Welcome to the show! Cooking with me in the studio today are a pair of | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
chefs who are turning Birmingham into one of the country's top food | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
destinations. First, a Saturday Kitchen favourite with a shiny | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Michelin star and a very unique style of modern British cooking. | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
Glynn Purnell. Some amazing shoes there? They are for dancing. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
It say it is all! Next to him is a man making his debut on the show but | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
he's already cooked his way to the Great British Menu banquet with his | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
award winning Indian food. Aktar Islam. Good morning to you both. | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
Glynn, what are you cooking, then? We have salt baked potato with | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
chorizo mayonnaise. That sounds good and that is a | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
little pickle? Yes, a little pickle on them. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Aktar, follow that. I have some amaidsing lamb cut lets. | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
Cook Cooked as new season lamb cutlet's marinated with dates and | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
sultana spiced cardamom and cumin. Now you are doing this on the grill, | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
but a and it othery oven is what you would normally cook in? Well, I | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
could not find the oven, I had to improvise. So yes, this is a really | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
simple way that works. And great on the barbecue as well? | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
The weather is supposed to be getting warmer this weekend. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
We are hopeful So two very interesting dishes to look forward | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
to. And we've got a line-up of fantastic foodie films from the BBC | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
archive too. Today there are helpings from Rick Stein, Celebrity | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Masterchef, Ken Hom and Ching-He Huang. Now, our special guest today | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
was part of one of the most successful boy bands of all time, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Westlife. After 14 years, 12 world tours and an amazing 14 number ones | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
with the band, he's now going it alone with his first solo album. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Welcome to Saturday Kitchen, Kian Egan. Hello! That is a pretty | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
serious career, really? Yes but, really, you are not talking about | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
me! Most people recently would have known you from the jungle but what a | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
career you have had in the band? Absolutely. Everything that happened | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
with Westlife, I never expected any of that to happen in the first | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
place. So everything that happens now, I have had my cake, this is the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
cherry on the top. Tp is unbelievable. I never expected this | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
to roll from Westlife. I thought I was done. Are ready to go home an | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
open up a coffee shop! And the single is out? It is out on March | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
17th. So that is very exciting. We will talk about that a little | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
later on. Now, of course, at the end of | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
today's programme I'll cook either food heaven or food hell for Kian. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
It'll either be something based on your favourite ingredient - food | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
heaven, or your nightmare ingredient - food hell. It's up to our chefs | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
and a few of our viewers to decide which one you get. So, what | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
ingredient would your idea of food heaven be? I love curries. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Especially Indonesian curries. I have had some fantastic ones over | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
the years. Beef is my meat of choice. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
And what about the dread dreaded food hell? Anything to do with crab. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
I would have thought that a guide from Ireland, all of that shellfish? | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
I have never been a big fish eater in general, even though I did eat | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
fish eyeballs in I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! But fish has to | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
be plain for me to enjoy it. So crab is just... So it's either beef or | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
crab for Kian. For food heaven, I've got one of the great Indonesian or | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Malaysian curries in mind, a beef rendang. The beef is cooked in stock | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
and coconut cream with lemongrass, chilli, ginger and loads of spices. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
It's served with a pile of sticky rice and a home-made mango chutney. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Or Kian could be having his food hell, crab and some delicate crab | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
tortellini. The crab is mixed with cream, ginger and cayenne, made into | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
tortellini and blanched. It's served with spring veg and a sauce made | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
from the crab shells. The crab is mixed with cream, ginger and | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
cayenne, made into tortellini and blanched. It's served with spring | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
veg and a sauce made from the crab shells. If you'd like the chance to | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
ask a question to any of our chefs today then call: A few of you will | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
be able to put a question to us, live, a little later on. And if I do | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
get to speak to you I'll also be asking if you want Kian to face | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
either food heaven or food hell. Are you hungry? Very hungry. All I have | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
had is a banana, getting ready for this. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Well, it's time for some food. Right, cooking first is this fella. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
The Yummie Brummie, Glynn Purnell. So what are you making for us today? | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
I am going to get you cracking with the veg. That is all sliced thinly. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
And I'm going to crack on with the potatoes. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
So, I am salt baking the potatoes. So industrial rock salt. It is | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
heavy. It does not dissolve. So you would not make this out of | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
sea salt? No, not the fancy stuff. This is the industrial stuff. You | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
can put it on the driveway when it is frosty. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Now we have egg white to help bind. So this is salt baking. I have seen | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
other chefs doing salt baking potatoes. Tom Kerridge does it in a | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
salt crush, his potatoes? He does it is really nice. This is a little of | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
something that we do in the restaurant but also something that | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
we can do at home. Now, you have Purnell's but another | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
restaurant as well? Yes, we have the bistro. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
And the restaurant is doing really well. | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
I used to sing, Westlife, in my first house with my wife. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Is that really the type of thing that you should say? Are you a | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
singer? No, I will not upstage an international pop star! That is not | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
going to happen! Right, moving on to the recipe, what are we doing here, | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
then? We have mixed the salt with some cayenne pep pepper and paprika. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
That is to coat the outside of the potatoes. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
These are waxy potatoes? Yes it helps to hold with the salt. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Look at that, that will give a beautiful flavour and the skins will | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
be amazing. That is the reason to leave them on | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
there. There is a recipe that you can use | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
with the potatoes, the French call it the rat. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
Yes, that is beautiful as well. Right, here I have different types | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
of beetroot here, you want me to slice this? Yes, it is candy | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
beetroot and golden beetroot. They are nice and small and sweet it will | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
go well with the spiced mayonnaise that we are going to make. We put | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
that in there. You can do these tomorrow in salt and the egg for | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
your roast dinner. That will go great with a bit of pork or | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
something. And the paprika is in there to help | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
with the flavour of the chorizo? Yes. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Now that goes in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
If you poke a hole and stab in the knife, you can see if they are | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
cooked. Now to the mayonnaise, rather than | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
using an oil and flavouring it with the chorizo, we are making a chorizo | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
oil. So a lemon mayonnaise, you make a | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
lemon oil. So we have the chorizo. We are using this on the salad. We | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
don't want to throw anything away. To me, this is a little start. I | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
don't want to get too excited about the weather but for me this is like | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
the start of spring. Now, 2014 is looking busy for you. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
You have your first book out? Yes. It is amazing, really, as I really | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
spell! So, we have had a spellcheck on the computer. The first book, it | :09:16. | :09:27. | |
is called Crack Cracking Yolk and Pig's Tails. | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Unfortunately this dish is not in there, but there are also recipes | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
and stories of life in the kitchen. So not just a cook book but a cook | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
book with dishes from the restaurant and dishes you can cook at home. And | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
some stories. You can imagine where some of the stories are coming from. | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
That is out in May. So, this is on here. Basically you | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
want to do this first. You need the hot oil, so you would do this a day | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
in advance. So you cook the chorizo first and | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
then let it cool. Yes, we are going to make a lovely chorizo oil. Then | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
the veg that we have sliced. The little vinaigrette. That is 4-1 with | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
the vinegar. And you want me to make the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
dressing? Yes. It is important to use normal veg | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
oil? Plain veg oil. You want it to take as much flavour out as possible | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
if you use the olive oil you are wasting the maund you get too much | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
of the olive oil flavour. So, the chorizo have sweated off. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
And that has flavoured the oil that we have put in. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Remember if you'd like to put a question to either Glynn or Aktar | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
then call us now on: Calls are charged at your standard network | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
rate. Also the reason why we have put the vegetables into iced water | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
is they firm up and become crunchy. You can do it with salad leave, | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
iceberg salad leaves, you can put them out and they come out with a | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
frozen crunch to it, which is quite nice. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
So, that cools down there before we pass it off. | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
You are doing the egg yolkes, the vinegar together and then you will | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
also get some of the chorizo oil. Any particular white wine vinegar? | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
No, just everyday white wine vinegar. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
When you talk about the recipe for this, you would soak those | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
vegetables in a pickling liquid? This is a little quicker. You get | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the beautiful freshness of the vegetables. You can pickle them and | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
jar them up. It could be more of a classic escabeche. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
There is the fennel in there for some sweetness. | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
How long are the potatoes cooking for? About 30 minutes. | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Get the knife to poke it in the side, you can tell if they are | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
cooked. What is great, you can turn the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
plate out into the middle of the table and get somebody to smash them | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
it looks great. How can you tell if they are ready? | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
We will look now. Get a little knife... Find yourself a little hole | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
and poke it in there to see if they are cooked. | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
So we can turn that out. I will get you a bowl. Is this how | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
you serve it in the restaurant? Yes but don't eat the pebbles. And the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
best bit about this, there we go, they should fall out. So we have the | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
beautiful little salt potatoes. Nice and hochlt | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
Do you need waxy potatoes for this? Yes, these are called Apache | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
potatoes. They have a beautiful skin to them. | :13:38. | :13:49. | |
So use your fingers for the dish. Dip your potatoes in with the | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
mayonnaise and dress it with a few bits of the crunchy chorizo. | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
So we have the veg, the chorizo oil to finish. The potatoes, you scoop | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
up the mayonnaise and you eat this beautiful starter. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Easy as that. It looks delicious, what does it | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
taste like? You will have to dive into this one. Just grab the | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
potatoes and dunk them in. It is really simple to do but | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
effective. You would look weird going into the | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
supermarket to buy that salt. Yes. Raiding the salt bins. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
We need some wine to go with this. We sent our expert, Olly Smith out | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
to Berkshire on a beautiful spring day. So what did he choose to go | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
with Glynn's super spuds! I've come to the magnificent Cliff don House, | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
built in 1666 by the Duke of Buckingham, home to Lord and Lady | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
Astor. And made infamous by the Profumo scandal, but before we hit | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
the shops, let's have a nosey around. With Glynn's potatoes and | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
chorizo mayonnaise, you may be tempted to pick a white Rioja. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Normally a pretty good bet, but when I paired it with the dish at home, | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
the wine was great but the clash was epic. So I was delighted to find it | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
was the Voignier that came to the rescue. It deserves far greater | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
acclimate, this wine. So I am selecting a rising French star, | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
allow me to introduce you to the Elegant Frog Voignier 2013. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
This winery's motto is old world wine with a new world attitude. That | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
sense of fun spills into every bottle. It is leaping out of the | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
glass! All of that trademark Voignier exotic character, somewhere | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
between peach, apricot and pineapple. The sort of wine that | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
makes you think of summer holidays, before you have even sipped it! That | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
is a one-way tongue trip to dreamland. The thing that struck me | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
about cooking Glynn's desh is the role of the chorizo and the | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
sharpness of the vinegar in the salad. If you match a wine that is | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
sharp, there is a clash. You need the richness to balance out the zing | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
and the tang. Glynn's mayonnaise is fluffy and tangy. The creaminess and | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
softness pairs up with this wine that make it is a trut and think | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
about the vegetables and for that you need the roundness of Voignier | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
to round this up and unleash their fabulous flavour. Glynn, you Yummy | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
Brummie, this here is to your sensational dish, cheers! Cheers | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
indeed. This is going down a treat. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
I told you I did not have breakfast. It is chorizo, like sausage, | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
potatoes, mayonnaise it is great. What do you think of the wine? Yes, | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
I am happy with Voignier. Happy with that? Yes, I am also a fan. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
It is a great wine. Coming up, Aktar has a great recipe | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
using new season lamb, what are you doing with it? Once I clear my | :17:56. | :18:12. | |
mouth! That is full of potato. Kitchen pickers wear big knickers! | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
Told you! I am making a lovely piece of spring lamb with lovely cardamom | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
and salad. Lovely. Coming up, Aktar has a great recipe | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
using new season lamb to share with us. And don't forget you could ask | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
Aktar or Glynn a question if you call this number: Standard call | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
charges do apply of course. Now, it's time for another slice of Rick | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Stein's curry adventure through India. Today he's on the trail of | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
the king of spices, cardamom. Take a look. | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
Now for a lovely road trip to Kerala. | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
This is a lovely opportunity to visit remember Allah. The famous | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
hills are known as the Western Gats. Mile after mile of fertile | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
plantations, producing a great array of spices like vanilla and cinnamon. | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
We are travelling west, heading for the town of Thekade. Look at all of | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
the shops, cheek by outline. I am reminded of the Costa Brava in the | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
'60s. All shops sold the same thing, straw donkeys and Sombreros but here | :19:40. | :19:49. | |
is it -- here it is hot and spicy all the way. I have just driven | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
through there, and I am astonished by the number of shops selling | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
spices, about 30 of them. It is item to how important food has | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
become in tourism. You come to Kerala, somebody from Europe, now, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
and you don't go for the beach but for the trip into the hills and the | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
spices. Kerala is known to have the best cardamoms and pepper in the | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
world but I would not be surprised if it were not true for such things | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
as cloves and cinnamon too! Just outside the village here is a | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
plantation growing cardamoms and pepper. Do you know, I have been a | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
chef for over 30 years, I did not have a clue as to how cardamoms | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
grew. There is something tantalising and special about them. A sweet | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
scent that transforms all curries. Well, I was wondering when I came | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
here this afternoon, in the minibus, thinking I wonder what a cardamom | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
is? It must be like a tea bush. Probably hanging from under the | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
leaves but not a bit of it. These are cardamom, you cannot call them | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
bushes but they are like a ginger or a galangal or turmeric and the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
cardamom podz grow down near the ground. The flowers pollinate them | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
and the bees and they have these podz. They taste to me a bit like | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
galangal more than ginger but when they are dried it becomes more | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
subtle no wonder they call them the queen of spices. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Well, if cardamom is the queen of spices, then pepper is certainly the | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
king. It is what started the Portuguese quest to the east. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Beginning the Spice Route as we know it. Today these little corns are | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
said to outsell all other spices put together. The hills here provide a | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
perfect growing environment. Lengthy monsoon rain, high temperatures and | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
good shade. I mean look at that. It is not a pepper tree, there is no | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
such thing as a pepper tree it is a vine. Most of the heat in Indian | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
cooking comes from the chillies but there is nothing to beat pepper, | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
especially in the south of India. Pepper really matters. It really is | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
the king of spices. Thinking about it, that trade, boats coming from | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Europe, to India and back again it would have been worth in today's | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
values, billions. I had the chance to taste a local dish using the | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
freshly harvested spices from the plantation. Matthew, the owner, is | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
cooking me a pork curry, flavoured with spices. Almost growing outside | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
of the kitchen door! So here we are, then, the spices. They are mustard, | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
cumin, cloves, crushed cinnamon and of course a couple of cardamom podz. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Matthew has fried the pork with shallots, garlic cloves, green | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
chillies and sliced ginger. Tell me about the cardamoms, why are | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
they so important? It is a spice when used sparingly it is fantastic. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
It is subtle and nice. The moment you add a little extra, it can be | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
overpowering. So traditionally in Indian home cooking you add just one | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
or two podz, that is about it. Before serving, he brings the curry | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
to a simmer with water and finishes off by adding tamarind and crushed | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
coriander seeds. This recipe is from his grand mother, who Matthew says | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
is the best cook he has ever known. They all say that, don't they but | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
simply because she created delicious dishes out of very few ingredients. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
I am looking forward to this... It is totally delicious. What I really | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
like about it, it is very simple. It has this vigorous, this | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
fresh-tasting. It is what I liked about the dish, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
the freshness effect. It is not what we would call mass masala-fied. It | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
is what Indian home cooking is all about. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
It is dancing food. It dances off the plate. I am getting a bit | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
carried away but that is how I feel! Seeing all of the cardamoms gave me | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
an idea for what is probably south India's most popular dessert, | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
payasanne. It is a very simple dessert and after many sticky | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
desserts, I found this a delight. Firstly, you have to reduce a lot of | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
milk down to a little. While that is happening, in another pan, add a | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
teaspoon of ghee. And then some vermicelli added to it. Cashew nuts | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
and a handful of raisens are also fried in the ghee to garnish the | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
dish. Once the milk is boiled, add the fried vermicelli and a good | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
amount of sugar, but the main point is the cardamom. Green ones, never | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the black. That would give it a smoky flavour. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
One of the things that I really like to do filming here in India and | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
collecting recipes, is to find things that I actually want to cook | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
at home. This is one of them. It is a lovely, lovely sweet. Just a | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
little bit of ice cold cream, beautifully flavoured with cardamom, | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
yum. Cardamom is such a great ingredient! | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
Do you agree Aktar? I do. Rick used his in that milky dessert. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
I like to use it in sweet things too and I am going to show you how to | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
make a brilliant cardamom and coffee cake. We take sugar, throw it in | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
with some butter and then I have cardamom that I will add. Now the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
coffee and the cardamom, firstly, there are the cardamom pods, that | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
you grind up in a grinder. Then I add coffee essence. Then we add the | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
eggs and the flour. I will serve this with a peanut ice-cream and | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
some popcorn to go with it. It is really a simple pudding or | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
dessert, but you want the butter at room temperature, otherwise you | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
can't incorporate the eggs into it. I don't know if you are a keen | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
baker? Baking is not my thing. I do a lot of the cooking at home, my | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
wife has recently done some baking but we were shocked at the sugar and | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
the butter, we were like, man, the calorie count! Don't worry about the | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
calories! I don't know how many calories this has got in but, you | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
know. Having a six-pack is not a must on this show! I once wrote a | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
recipe for a magazine, they called me back questioning the calories per | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
potion, I looked through it and figured out that we had forgotten | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
the ice-cream as well, so there was even more calories! In goes the | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
flour. If you do this by the machine it s. Up the kick mixture. Firstly, | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
congratulations on the album. Thank you very much. | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
You were saying earlier it was unexpected. And that everything | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
after Westlife was a bonus. Was that really the case? Oh, yeah. | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
Absolutely. Westlife ended in 2012. I had an amazing career with | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
Westlife, 14 years at the top. I was doing a small bit of TV work. I was | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
doing the Voice of Ireland. Do you enjoy that? I really did, but apart | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
from that, I did a tiny bit of TV presenting. I thought that was it. I | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
thought, that is cool. I have had an amazing time at the top. Grateful | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
for everything that I had. I was asked to do I'm A Celebrity, Get Me | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
Out Of Here! Two years in a row. I said yes the second time. I thought | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
it wus just be a bit of fun. Often, when people do that, they | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
want to progress forwards? But it was not the case for you? No, the | :29:04. | :29:11. | |
jungle was just the experience. I like doing outdoor activities. So | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
that is what it was for me, a cool experience. I came out and got | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
offered a record deal. I thought, wow! Okay! I thought that has to be | :29:21. | :29:28. | |
fun for one of the non-singers of Westlife. Now it is ready to rock | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
and coming out in a week-and-a-half. It is scary. | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
It is coming out on St Patrick's day as well? It was more like coming out | :29:39. | :29:45. | |
near to Mother's Day. And it is personal, your wife is on | :29:46. | :29:53. | |
track five? She is. I know normally, you get the cheese board out when | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
you think of a husband and a wife singing together. | :29:58. | :30:11. | |
Is it is yan -- Bryan Adams song? That was Run To You. This is I Run | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
To You. It was close. | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
Well, when you listen to the song it is not that cheesy. My wife is an | :30:23. | :30:30. | |
amazing singer. I had to tell her to keep the vocal vocals simple, not to | :30:31. | :30:38. | |
get too trily and frilly. She is an amazing singer, but I never expected | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
it. It is a real bonus. So, it has been busy? It has been | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
manic. I thought, let's just do that, and see where it goes from | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
there. If there enough people interested in doing a tour, I will | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
do a tour. It is as simple as that, really. | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
Now, to recap, we now have popcorn in here. | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
I love popcorn. If I go to the cinema, it is a mix of sweet and | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
salt. You get a handful of sweet and a handful of salt. | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
You don't want salty popcorn. I like the contrast of the two of | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
them in the same box is so nice. Is it? You have never done it? No! | :31:23. | :31:31. | |
It's got to be sugar on it! No! Now, mix this and pour it over the top. | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
There is a little bit of oil there. I was going to use butter but I was | :31:37. | :31:43. | |
not allowed to! Too many calories. We did not mention the title of the | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
album? It is called Home. It is the lead track of the album it is a song | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
that had been sitting on my iPod for a while. It is a great track. It | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
resonated with me with everything going on, being away from my family, | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
doing I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! You realise it is what we care | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
about the most. It is getting home to your family, and to your little | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
boy. I have a little boy who is two years and three months. He is | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
probably watching. Hi, buddy! Is there a temptation to | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
think, put your feet up, after 14 years? Yes and no. | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
You can't live your life like that, just doing nothing. | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
You can't turn down these opportunities. They are amazing to | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
be given them. So, yeah, when somebody is asking me to release an | :32:35. | :32:40. | |
album, I never expected that to come in my lifetime so, why not? It is | :32:41. | :32:46. | |
not about how well it does, or how successful it is, I get the | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
opportunity to do it. If people buy it, I am blown away. | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
And the temptation, it must be to look at what Take That has done, to | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
reform. It is something to go back to. For me, I would find it strange | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
if Westlife never stood on a stage again, but that is not to say that | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
it will or will not happen, but it has been just two years. You don't | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
know what will happen in the next five to ten years. Some may decide | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
it is a thing of the past, had an amazing time doing but let's not go | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
back there, or we could all say, let's do it. So, it is really early | :33:26. | :33:31. | |
for me to think about that. We are all only finding our feet as | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
individuals. We have been together since 16 and 17 years of age. | :33:36. | :33:44. | |
The original band, Simon Cowell did not have many good things to say | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
about it? Excuse me! I interviewed him a few weeks ago and pulled him | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
up on that. He said he was not talking about me! I knew he would | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
say that! But, Simon, I think, we were pretty ugly, I will give him | :34:03. | :34:08. | |
that much when he first met us, but he got his hands on us with a good | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
stylist and dresser and glammed us out. | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
Do you miss it at all? I miss the boys. Doing things on your own is so | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
different. It is such a different experience. So I miss that. I miss | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
bouncing around the country with the lads, having a laugh. And I miss the | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
performing, being on stage, but in front of an audience. Hopefully if | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
the album does well, you will be back. | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
Fingers crossed. With a brummy backing singer! | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
Birmingham is great. The brummy fans are amazing. Have the boys heard | :34:50. | :34:57. | |
your album yet? I have been text messaging them and tweets. We are | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
all genuinely good friends there. Is no nasty rivalry. And everybody is | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
doing well since it all finished so it is quite good. | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
Great. So what will I be cooking for Kian | :35:13. | :35:16. | |
at the end of the show? It could be his food heaven, beef and an Asian | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
style beef rendang curry. The beef is cooked slowly in stock and | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
coconut milk along with chilli, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass and | :35:24. | :35:25. | |
loads of other spices. It's served with sticky rice and some home-made | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
mango chutney. Or Kian could be facing food hell, crab and crab | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
filled tortellini. I'll mix the crab with ginger, cream and a little | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
cayenne pepper, make my tortellini and gently blanch them. They're | :35:36. | :35:38. | |
served with a few seasonal veg and rich sauce made from the crab | :35:39. | :35:40. | |
shells. and gently blanch them. They're | :35:41. | :35:41. | |
served with a few seasonal Some of our viewers and the chefs in the | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
studio get to decide Kian's fate today. But you'll have to wait until | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
the end of the show to see the final result. Happy with that? It is | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
amazing. The amount of flavours in here is incredible. | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
About 1200 calories, is all it is! I lost a lot of weight in I'm A | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! But I can put some of that back on. | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
There are a lot of flaifs here, which is great but you can pick them | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
out as you go along. I suppose that is why you are on | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
television, as you are pretty good. I would give it up but they keep | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
inviting me back again! Right, let's get more action from Celebrity | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
Masterchef. The three hopefuls are cooking a meal for some former | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
finalists. Afterwards one of them will have to leave the competition. | :36:24. | :36:25. | |
Let's see what happened! Today, you are not just cooking for | :36:26. | :36:43. | |
John and I, we have three previous MasterChef finalists, including two | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
winners. It is your food. Do it well, you stay in the competition. | :36:48. | :37:04. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, let's cook. The contestants have one hour and 15 | :37:05. | :37:15. | |
minutes to cook a . -- to cook a two-course meal. They | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
will have to impress three outstanding former finalists, and | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
show that they are worthy of progressing in the competition. | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
Today it is about potential. I want to see a serious plate of food. | :37:31. | :37:40. | |
Emma, hello! This is a nerve-wracking round. I remember it | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
so well, but I'm hungry, and I don't like eating rubbish food! I'm hoping | :37:47. | :37:53. | |
to see some nice food. I want to see a little bit of character and I want | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
to see that they have care bad what they have cooked. | :37:58. | :38:05. | |
You look like you are focussed today. What are you going to cook? I | :38:06. | :38:14. | |
am doing a version of mussels with smoky bacon and cream. | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
OK. For the second course it is a salt-crust baked sea bass with a | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
confit of potatoes, tomato and basil and a fennel and lemon mayonnaise. | :38:27. | :38:37. | |
You wowed us yesterday, are you going to continue to wow us? I am | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
going to do as well as I can. Denise, I am looking at your | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
ingredients, you are not doing a dessert? I am doing a starter and a | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
main. What are you cooking? Haka chicken? | :38:52. | :39:01. | |
Is that from New Zealand? No it is with ginger and garlic, so it feels | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
a little bit like Chinese food. And what is the other dish? Squid | :39:08. | :39:14. | |
with Sichuan pepper and spiced rice. Where is your confidence level? It | :39:15. | :39:20. | |
is amazing when your are praised, your confidence soar soars, but I | :39:21. | :39:28. | |
have to get with it. As we are all aware, things can go wrong on the | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
day! Phillips, you have made amazing progress in the competition, can you | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
continue to progress? I hope so. I am confident with the dish I am | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
making. I hope that you like it. What are you cooking for us? I have | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
minted lamb chops and spring onion mash. And I have a creamy garlic | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
mushroom starter. Tell me about the mushrooms, I don't | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
understand them? It is creamy garlic mushrooms. | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
Served? In a bowl with topped grated parmesan. | :40:05. | :40:15. | |
Ade's menu leaps out and says to me, here is a man with ambition and he | :40:16. | :40:28. | |
wants to produce tasty, tasty food. You have about seven minutes left on | :40:29. | :40:38. | |
the first course, Ade. It smells great, Ade. I like a lot, | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
mate. I like, I like, I like. Good lad. | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
Sorted. Thank you very much, off you go. | :40:48. | :40:55. | |
But hurry back, you have work to do! Well, hello! How are we all doing? | :40:56. | :41:04. | |
Very well, please, we are hungry. It is my version of mussels made | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
with smoky bacon, cream and white wine. It looks beautiful. | :41:11. | :41:18. | |
The combination of mussels and garlic, to me is heaven. I just | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
adore it. He's got the balance, I think, | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
beautiful. Not too much cream but enough. You can taste the mussels. | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
For me, the mussel has to shine through. Fantastic. I would happily | :41:34. | :41:39. | |
pay for that in a restaurant. This is delicious. Under normal | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
circumstances, I would lap it up, but as we have more to come, I | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
won't, but I will just have another spoonful. It is a really lovely bowl | :41:50. | :41:58. | |
of mussels. The sweetness of the tarragon with the rich stock and the | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
touch of cream. It is not the most challenging dish | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
but it is faultless. What do you have left to do? I have to get the | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
sauce into a consistency that works and I have to get the fish out of | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
the salt. You have Fife minutes, Ade, you have | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
to portion both of the fish. Yes, I may be late. Come on, little | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
fish. Very good indeed. That is a pretty | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
thing, Ade. That has taken seven minutes to do | :42:34. | :42:40. | |
the first two plates. It looks amazing. The sauce and the | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
potatoes. You are five minutes over now. We | :42:47. | :42:54. | |
really need to push you mate, we have to get you out. Happy? Yep. | :42:55. | :43:01. | |
The chef does apologise for the slight tarrediness! Thank you. We | :43:02. | :43:11. | |
have a sea bass, cooked in a salt crust with the confit of potatoes, | :43:12. | :43:18. | |
tomato and basil with a fennel and lemon sauce. It sounds yummy. | :43:19. | :43:29. | |
Yes, I hope it is. The sea bass is cooked beautifully. | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
The lemon and the fennel sauce is incredible, and beautiful. My sea | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
bass is beautiful it is moist it is tender, it tastes lovely, with the | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
sauce, with the lemon coming through. I really, really like it. | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
I love that fish. That fish is so soft, but those potatoes are not | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
cooked. But the flavours on the plate are | :43:54. | :43:56. | |
stunning. The whole thing works perfectly. I think it is delicious. | :43:57. | :44:06. | |
Nice work, Ade, and you can see how the others get on in about 20 | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
minutes or so. Still to come this morning on Saturday Kitchen Live, | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
Ken Hom and Ching-He Huang are up in the mountains of China. Ching's | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
fishing with the village women, then helps Ken cook a feast of chicken, | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
pineapple and baked fish for the village chief. Aktar and Glynn will | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
be relieved to know that after last week's pancake EGGs-ursions we're | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
back to normal and making omelettes again. Hooray! I don't think the | :44:30. | :44:52. | |
chefs need any more EGG-ing on as they battle it out to claim the | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
SMASHING title of omelette king of Birmingham! And will Kian be facing | :44:57. | :44:59. | |
food heaven, a classic beef rendang with sticky rice? Or food hell, crab | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
tortellini? Right, let's cook our next dish and at the hobs is a new | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
face to Saturday Kitchen. It's Aktar Islam. So what are you making today | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
Aktar? . James, lamb cutlets. It is a great celebration of this product. | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
Fantastic. Can you explain how they are made? Those go under the grill, | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
a couple of minutes to colour them, but the lamb, we have two stages of | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
marinade. The first things first is to go in with the garlic and ginger | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
piece. And can you slice that lime for me, | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
chef. So we put in the piece, followed | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
by... So you say this is the first stage of the marinade? Yes, so all | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
of the mar United States that we do, we always have a first stage with | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
garlic, ginger, lime juice and salt. So that is like the preseasoning. | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
So is this everything that goes on the and it other? That is right, yes | :45:56. | :46:07. | |
-- Tandoor. . And what is that? Ginger, garlic and | :46:08. | :46:14. | |
salt and lime, water to get it moving. | :46:15. | :46:27. | |
Then you coat the lamb with it. So, tell me about the restaurant, | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
then. You have had it in Birmingham for a while? Lasan has been open | :46:33. | :46:40. | |
since 2002. We are coming up to the 12th birthday. It has been a | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
phenomenal success. Last year I opened another restaurant, I opened | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
an Argentine. It has been fantastic. It is about the great British | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
produce, combining it with the Indian flavours. So the second stage | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
of the marinade is simple. Everything goes into the special | :47:00. | :47:01. | |
spice grinder. This is from India? It has. All of | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
the way from India. It is fantastic. I don't leave home without it. | :47:07. | :47:13. | |
But we have sultanas, dates, brown onions which we deep fry and dry | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
out. Then we put garlic. You can buy the onions? Yes. | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
Are they the Kibble onions? That is a little dry by comparisons. | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
You can't buy them, then! Just make them, chef. | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
The blender has an alarm clock on it? It did have. I had it installed. | :47:37. | :47:45. | |
In rehearsal, while blending, his mobile phone fent off! So this is a | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
normal food processor? It is, yes. It gets a really fine piece out of | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
it the garlic and ginger going in. Can you check the lamb, chef. A bit | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
of chilli to counteract the sweetness from the date and the | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
sultanas. There is lime going in and some cream. | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
So the reason for this is to get the tandoor appearance. You could | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
barbecue this? But if the marinade sticks to the bars it burns on to it | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
that is why we suspend it so it stays on to the lamb as opposed to | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
going on to the tray. OK, so you cannot barbecue it, then. | :48:30. | :48:38. | |
What I do is get some foil and make rolls out of it and use them as | :48:39. | :48:44. | |
ledges. But the method of the secures on the | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
tray is brilliant. That is genius. Yes. | :48:50. | :48:59. | |
It's not very quiet this machine? ! It debts the -- it gets the job | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
done. Now we have a smooth piece. This is | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
the yoghurt. I have strained it in cheese cloth to get rid of the | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
excess moisture. So a thick yoghurt. | :49:16. | :49:25. | |
Yes. How is that looking, chef? They are | :49:26. | :49:35. | |
fine! Cool. So the marinade is nearly there. | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
We want to take it until it is smooth. So I would take it a little | :49:40. | :49:46. | |
further but... For now we will just deal with it as it is, but it is | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
almost there. So are the two restaurants different | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
in terms of the menu? One is fine dining and one is not? Yes. The | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
Argentine restaurant that we opened that is about great quality produce, | :50:02. | :50:09. | |
good beef. Whereas Lassn is about the experience, to come in, spend | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
the entire eefenning with us, as we are lovely! But it is all about | :50:15. | :50:21. | |
different takes on Indian food and an alternative approach to India, | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
but two different ends of the spectrum. I have also another | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
restaurant we have done, that is all about Indian street food. | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
So the lamb is marinaded in the lovely marinade. | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
People have seen you before on TV. It is not your first appearance but | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
you have been on the Great British Menu? Yes, I have done that. | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
And the latest brief? Yes, that is fantastic. It is all about | :50:52. | :50:56. | |
celebrating D-Day. It is a great brief. I cannot say much about it, | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
but it is one that I have enjoyed doing. | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
It is 70 years, this year? It is. And at the end you get the | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
opportunity to cook for the veterans. It is amazing. | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
Fantastic. Now, I secure these up. I use two to create a ledge. It make | :51:16. | :51:24. | |
it is easier to turn it. These are French trimmed, so the | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
bone has been taken out. Can you do it with chicken thighs? | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
It works really well. And turkey. Christmas! Obviously a bitterliy but | :51:38. | :51:46. | |
don't forget. A bitterliy? ! We need to get summer | :51:47. | :52:20. | |
out of the way first! ORCEDWHITE Now, in the piece we have some chat | :52:21. | :52:30. | |
Marsala, And a little bit of this in there? Yes, the yoghurt, the green | :52:31. | :52:40. | |
chillies, a little bit of heat and this purees it into a chutney? Yes, | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
that is what we call it. We add a little more. There you go. | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
Put the lid on and on that you have the lemon juice. | :52:53. | :53:00. | |
And some more chat Marsala? Why e. Which one is it? That one. | :53:01. | :53:08. | |
Can people buy this? You can get it in supermarkets. It is amazing how | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
it is coming along. Now, I will get the lamb out. | :53:15. | :53:21. | |
So the lamb is just under the grill in the oven? That's right. | :53:22. | :53:30. | |
Hopefully, we will value a lovely pink cutlet. | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
And now you want a bit of butter? Yes, and then some fresh cardamom | :53:35. | :53:39. | |
powder. So this is a raw spice? Yes, it has | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
a different flavour to when it is cooked through. | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
And the chaat. That is our seasoning. Job done. | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
And you put the sauce on it. You want the dressing with it, the | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
marinade. So you keep that on it. Yes. | :54:00. | :54:13. | |
It looks pretty good that. It look looks amazing. | :54:14. | :54:24. | |
So, tell us the name of that, then? That is new season lamb cutlet's | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
marinated with dates and sultana, spiced with cardamom and cumin | :54:28. | :54:29. | |
served with green chutney and Kachumbar salad. | :54:30. | :54:31. | |
Trust me if the weather is good this weekend, you have to try this dish. | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
It is fantastic! I know it is fantastic and it tastes fantastic as | :54:35. | :54:42. | |
well! Dive into that one. The marinade for this, it is | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
incredible. The trick is, it needs to be | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
caramelised. You want the bitterness from the sugar, the sweetness and | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
the tanginess from the limes and the cardamoms. | :54:56. | :55:04. | |
That is fantastic. Right, we need some wine to go with | :55:05. | :55:09. | |
this. Our expert, Olly Smith is in Maidenhead this week. So what did he | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
choose to go with Aktar's lovely lamb? With Aktar's legendary lamb, | :55:13. | :55:20. | |
you may be tempted to think, spicy tucker and lung for a lush bottle of | :55:21. | :55:30. | |
Riesling or this excellent xrafrm of Golden Valley. However, you can have | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
great success pairing red wines with spicy dishes, especially when it is | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
with lamb. Just remember to avoid reds that are too old or too heavy. | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
With that in mind, I am picking a bargain from the south of France. | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
Will welcome to Corbieres Languedoc 2011. On the lamb! This wine comes | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
from one of the most productive wine areas in the south of France. It is | :55:58. | :56:04. | |
an area that specialises in Syrah, green ash and the reason that the | :56:05. | :56:11. | |
wines pair brilliantly with lamb is thanks to a compound called typ -- | :56:12. | :56:20. | |
tymol. The wine is laid within juicy ripe | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
fruit. That is what I am looking for to resonate with the sultanas and | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
the dates in the dish and to balance out the spice. Thinking about the | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
texture, the cream, the lamb and the rich yoghurt. The wine has a lovely | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
flavour but a soft texture, perfect for blending with each bite and | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
finally, the fragrant ingredients in the dish, the ginger, cardamom and | :56:48. | :56:54. | |
mint chuty, this wine has the perfect youthfulness to bring out | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
and have aed vans the very vibrance. Aktar, here's to your luscious lamb, | :57:00. | :57:08. | |
cheers! Cheers indeed. Difficult to match that but I think he has got it | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
right. I think it is lovely it is working | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
well with the lamb and the marinade. It has a lot of tannin, that cuts | :57:16. | :57:21. | |
through the sweetness. I think it is fantastic and the wine is great. | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
Happy with that? It is unbelievable. It is early in the morning but I | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
want it all now! Right, let's get back to Celebrity Masterchef where | :57:32. | :57:33. | |
there's an elimination looming. First though it's Denise's turn to | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
feed those former finalists. Take a look. You have four minutes, Denise. | :57:37. | :57:48. | |
Are you done? No drama. Well done you. | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
OK. Wish me luck. Go get them, girl. Here we go. | :57:53. | :58:06. | |
Hi! How nice to meet you. Hello! So, what you have, ladies and | :58:07. | :58:12. | |
gentlemen, is salt and pepper squid with raita with a little bit of | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
tamarind in it. I hope that you enjoy. | :58:18. | :58:18. | |
Thank you. Here goes. Oh, this is everything | :58:19. | :58:31. | |
that confirms why there is no point in eating squid. Oh, golly. Although | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
the yoghurt and the tamarind sauce is perfectly lovely on its own, I am | :58:38. | :58:44. | |
not convinced that the squid and it are ideal bed fellows. She has not | :58:45. | :58:49. | |
set out to fail but, unfortunately for me, she has. | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
I really like the flavours of the five spice around the squid but the | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
squid is too chewy. The batter has fallen off or it is soggy, that is | :58:59. | :59:01. | |
not great. So what is left to do for the main | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
course, Denise? OK. I am almost on time. I have my bindis on the go, I | :59:08. | :59:14. | |
have the Haka chicken on the go. Here is the rice. | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
Almost on time? I know that as late. Three minutes left. I love the | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
smells. We have to go now quickly. | :59:27. | :59:33. | |
That's it. Let's go. | :59:34. | :59:35. | |
Good luck. Thank you. | :59:36. | :59:45. | |
The main. Oh! We didn't know what to expect. | :59:46. | :59:52. | |
What you have on the plate is something called Haka chicken. Thank | :59:53. | :00:05. | |
you, it smells gorgeous! There is a hell of a kick of chilli in there. | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
It made me reach for the water rather than the wine. That says | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
something. I really like the dish. I love the Chile, the taste from the | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
chicken, the saffron rice is gorgeous. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
It delivers. It packs a punch. The flavours just | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
hit you. It may look a fright but it tastes | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
really good. It is cooked well with beautiful Asian flavours but it | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
looks untidy. We have four minutes until we go out | :00:34. | :00:47. | |
with the starters. Are you on time? The starters will be fine. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
You have got the garlic and the cream in them? Yes. | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
One minute. What is left to do on the plates? Grate some parmesan | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
cheese. To be fair, you have been clever | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
with the presentation. It looks elegant. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
Thank you. Good luck. Well done. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Thank you very much. Hello everybody. How are you? | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
Hungry! We have some creamy garlic mushrooms, topped with parmesan. | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
Thank you, Phillips. The only technical ability in this | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
plate is he has peeled mushrooms and grated some parmesan. I think you | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
are being unfair. I like it but the rich variety of mushrooms is | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
enormous it is half the dish it could have been. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
Looks it tastes of mushrooms, cream, cheese, you can taste every | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
ingredient, but really? Button mushrooms? It is almost impossible | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
to overcook a button mushroom and almost impossible to not grate | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
cheese. I hope that the main is delicious! | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
Is the sauce made? I have not made the sauce yet. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Come on, then. Let's go. Is your lamb OK in the oven? Wow! | :02:35. | :02:53. | |
Your time is up. You have to get the rings off and we have to go. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Well done. Hello. Thank you, this is minted | :02:58. | :03:16. | |
lamb? It is. You have minted lamb chops with | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
spring onion mash, mint and rosemary sauce and a side of carrots. Thank | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
you. Oh, it is mint and rosemary. Oh, | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
dear. Is it pink? No. Oh, dear. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Well it is quite chewy. At least we have sharp knives to get | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
through it. I'm really disappointed. The lamb is overcooked and tough. I | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
have big lumps of spring onion in the mash that do nothing. Then the | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
sauce, which kind of hits your mouth like an acid sweetness. This has | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
failed. What the heck is that? I have just made an oil spill! Crikey! | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
Wow! That mint sauce is one of the worst I have r tasted. The mashed | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
potatoes has lumps in it and hunks of raw spring onion. The lamb is | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
overcooked and it has gone tough and chewy. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
This cooking highlights Phillips lack of experience. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
What a day, I am, I have to say, in part, a little disappointed, Gregg. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Thank you for the hard work today. Days like today are stressful. One | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
of you, we have decided, is leaving the competition. | :04:51. | :05:03. | |
The contestant leaving us is... Phillips. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Sorry, my friend. Thank you. Thanks for the | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
experience. Next week four more celebrities | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
enter the competition. Right, it's time to answer a few of your foodie | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
questions. Each caller will also help us decide what Kian will be | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
eating at the end of the show. So who do we have first on the line? It | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
is Michael from Belfast. What is the question for us? I have a fresh | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
lobster. I would like to know the best way of cooking it and a good | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
red sauce to go with it. Well kill the lobster, hiemly, put | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
it in the freezer, put it to sleep and straight into boiling water | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
after. Split it in half, put it together with butter, coupin, | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
coriander, fresh ginger and bind it together and pour it over the | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
lobster. You are set. Would it work with the marinade you | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
did earlier? Yes. Or, classical, butter, garlic, | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
parsley. Or a therm dor sauce. Four choices there. What dish would | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
you like to see, heaven or hell? Well, he is Irish, so it has to be | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
heaven. There you go. Mark from Aldershot, | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
what is your question for us? I have a fillet of pork in the freezer. I | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
live on my own. I don't want to waste it. I want to do something | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
with it and keep it preserved. So no fat in there it must be cooked | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
simply. You can have two meals out of it. Split it in half. Poke holes | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
in it, stuff with bakedon in one half. Or chorizo, have it with pasta | :06:59. | :07:09. | |
or a roast dinner. And the second day, stair fry it. So two different | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
methods there. I think that the stir-fry is good. | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
Or take the medallions and cut it up, batter it out and pan fry it | :07:21. | :07:37. | |
with butter and breadcrumbs. Lovely. So, what dish would you like to see | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
for Kian? Hell. And Mike, what is your question? | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
Nonsugar puddings. Sugar-free puddings? You can use | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
fruit. Reduce a sweet wine and marinade the fruits with the sweet | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
wine. You can do bananas, chop them up, | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
freeze them and blend them with a bit of buttermilk. You don't have to | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
add any sugar but just vanilla and buttermilk. You have a great | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
ice-cream. And the yoghurt we used, whipped | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
with a little bit of double cream and cardamom powder. That is | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
amazing. What would you like to see at the | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
end of the show? Heaven, please. Good! Right it is time for the | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
omelette challenge. The usual rules apply. You are about 29 seconds, | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Glynn but who would you like to beat on the board, Aktar? I would like to | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
be close to this side. OK, so that but only quicker. I know | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
you have been practising! Put the clocks on the screens, please. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Three, two, one, go! You are in trouble, you are in | :09:02. | :09:27. | |
trouble! Making sure that he gets on the board now. | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
Once they have made it they stand back. Yes, I'm worried, I am making | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
you eat that! This one... There is shell in that. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
That is a milkshake with skin! That is what that is. | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
An egg shake! That is scrambled egg, chef. That does not count. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
You wanted to beat Glynn? You have beaten him. You did it in 27. 28 | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
seconds. That puts you there. Next to Cyrus. | :10:15. | :10:30. | |
No, there he is, next to Ching. I have really struggled over the | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
last few years. I have put in the effort, chef. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
It has paid off. Take that back to Birmingham with you. You have done | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
it. You needed to beat 21. 48 to get in the top ten. You did it in 21. | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
72. It does not put you in there but just outside! I tried so hard. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Like the school report, please try harder next time. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
So will Kian get his food heaven, a classic beef rendang with sticky | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
rice? Or his food hell, crab tortellini. Glynn and Aktar will | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
make their choices whilst we take a trip to China with Ken Hom and | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Ching-He Huang. They're still up in the mountains, and today they're | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
cooking for a village chief. Kian may have faced a few eating | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
challenges on I'm A Celebrity but Ken and Ching have a challenge of | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
their own today - water centipede! Check this out. Whilst Ching and the | :11:23. | :11:34. | |
women go river fishing for some of tonight's ingredients, the chief and | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
I are going to cook a dish each with the chicken to feed ten people. I am | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
cooking this, using groentsz resourced from within 50 yards from | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
where I am standing. Even the sauce for the marinade is home-made. I | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
asked the chief for rice wine. This is a home-made brew that he makes. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
Oh, God. If I taste this, I won't be able to cook. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
I am leaving the chicken to marinade for half an hour in the light soy | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
sauce and the chief's home brewed wine. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
The ladies here do all of the fishing for their village. There are | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
more than 600 rivers in the area. Millions of them de depend on these | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
rivers for food and water. I have never seen this unique way of | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
fishing. They have just overturning rocks and getting in there. You | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
sandwich the net between the feet and using the hands bring up the | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
vegetation and the seabed into the net. | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
Oh! Crab! Living below China's official poverty line, the Dai women | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
cannot afford to overlook a potential source of protein in the | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
river. She has said you can eat this. It is like a weird river | :13:01. | :13:14. | |
centipede thing. Argue! -- argh! She has just decapitated it! She can eat | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
it, she says it is delicious! For the time being, the women are safe | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
to fish in the waters, but this may not be the case for longer. In | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
recent years, many of the u -- Yunana's waterways have become | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
contaminated from the pollution from the cities, less than 40 miles away. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Back at May's house, we are preparing our river catch. I came to | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
China to expand my knowledge of Chinese cooking. Learning how to gut | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
a centipede is certainly doing that. Women know how to cook! And the men | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
wash the dishes. I understood that bit! So I have the small river fish | :13:59. | :14:10. | |
and local garlic. The wild garlic. Some ginger and small chillies. Then | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
the Vietnamese mint. And they have some coriander as well and some | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
spring onion. I am going to make a classic Dai | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
dish of fish, cooked in banana leaves. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
My grand mother would peel it. The Chinese believe when you peel ginger | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
there becomes more heat, more yang, more fiery. If you keep the ginger | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
dish on it is more ying, more cooling. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
I am putting chopped ginger, garlic and chilli on to a banana leaf. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
Scrutinised by my sous chef, keen to offer tips. She says that I have to | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
chop it more. To chop all of the herbs together so it is fine. I | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
would have thrown it all together, but this is the way that they are | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
used to do it. So we put this all on the leaf like that. Wrapping the | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
food in a banana leaf seals in the moisture and the flavour. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Then you tie it. She is just securing the package | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
within bamboo. I am planning to steam the fish but | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
my sous chef has other ideas. I would normally cook it like | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
that... But she is saying it is taster like this, than steaming it. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
She says if you steam it, it doesn't taste very good. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
While it cooks for 20 minutes, May offers me an appetiser. | :15:47. | :15:56. | |
So, this is a baby centipede. The water centipedes have been boiled in | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
a broth of ginger, chillies and herbs. She says not to be afraid, to | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
just eat it. It is like the texture of prawn. It | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
is like a river prawn. It is not bad. | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Not bad, actually. At the chief's house, he is doing | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
his bit to prove that not all men are useless in the kitchen. He is | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
making chicken soup with ginger and chilli. This dish is simple. He is | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
smart not to do anything complicated, but I think that people | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
don't realise that when you are cooking at home, to keep it simple. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
I am using chilli and garlic to make a favourite dish. Chicken stir-fry | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
with fresh herbs. I am putting the chicken in. Adding in the marinade | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
there. Then I will add all of my lovely herbs here. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
This is what I love about Chinese food. All you need is a wok, a flame | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
and fresh ingredients to make a simple and a delicious supper. | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
To go with the chicken, I am making a classic Yunan dish, pineapple | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
rice. The key ingredient in the dish is | :17:15. | :17:30. | |
precooked cold rice, ideally, a day old, stir fried in hot oil. To break | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
up the clumps, give the rice a good stir. Then add the pineapple and the | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
fresh mint. The wood fire give it is a lovely | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
smoky flavour. With fresh local ingredients, this is traditional | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
village cooking at its best. In Thailand we say fragrant. When it | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
smells good. We say "hom" we are ready. We have to wait for Ching and | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
the rest of the women with the fish. Everyone is hungry. This is the ban | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
aria leaf-wrapped fish. Beautiful. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
She says it is very good. This is a soup that the chief made. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Delicious. And this is pineapple rice. | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
Do you know what you just ate? No? It is a centipede. | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Oh, it is an interesting flavour. Ment It is quite sweet? Yes but I | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
would not order it every day. So inspired by the use of the local | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
ingredients. Fishing for your own fish. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
They are really close to the earth. Nature, yes. | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
There'll be more from Ken and Ching on next week's show. Right, it's | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
time to find out whether Kian is facing either food heaven or food | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
hell. Your food heaven would be this beef which I'll cook very slowly in | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
stock and coconut milk with cardamom, cumin coriander, lemon | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
grass, chilli and loads of other spices. It's served with some | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
classic sticky jasmine rice and a home-made mango chutney. Or you | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
could be facing your food hell, this incredible crab which I'll use to | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
fill tortellini along with ginger, cream and a touch of cayenne. It's | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
served with a bisque and a few spring vegetables. What do you think | :19:28. | :19:39. | |
you're getting? Well they stuck with you, only because he wants a signed | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
album! So, we have a shin of beef. This is a basically one pot and | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
chuck it all in, but we seal it off first to colour. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Do it in two pans, otherwise it sweats. | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
So because there is so much beef, just separate it? The temperatures | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
of pan would reduce down if you add it all in, then you would not sweat | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
it properly, you would not get the colour on there. | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
So, also we have sliced onions, chillies, garlic. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
I like spices. I am a spice boy. In the jungle, you cooked most of | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
the meals in there? About 80%. I stir fried everything. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
You don't get the choice? That's it. The equipment is minimal. No salt, | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
pepper. So it was a case of, I tried to | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
fatten everybody up. Any time we got potatoes, to shallow fry them, stuff | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
like that, put a bit of calories back into us. All of the fruit and | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
stuff like that, just tried to sweeten it up. Saving the weird | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
fruits to try to make funky teas. Otherwise you are drinking boiled | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
water. So any fruit we got. We got a butter | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
ham. That worked well as a tea it really flavoured the water nicely. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
So that was good. Right we are chopping this up, nice | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
and fine. Throw it all in. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Really? Scotch bonnet is what we should have in there! You can have. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
There is even hotter as well. So chuck all of that in there with | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
the ginger, garlic and the lemongrass. So the album it is | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
coming out on the 17th of March? That's right. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
It is solo. Solo, all on my own! It is | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
brilliant. So exciting. I never expected it to come my way. I am | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
rolling it with, enjoying it. Loving the idea of doing music again. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
When you get an offer like from the studio, do you have to call your | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
mates? I did. I phoned them up and said, should I do this. They were | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
like do it. My wife was a big influence on my decision. Obviously | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
you talk about everything at home with your loved one. She had a huge | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
influence on me. Putting the seal of confidence back into my mind. Saying | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
you have to do it. When you get an opportunity like that, it does not | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
come around often. So why not. When it came to the songs I got my mates | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
involved. I realised that the music I made would not necessarily, I | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
don't know if my mates would listen to, so I stopped asking them after | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
about a week, when I got weird suggestions. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
There is a great mix on the album? I tried to not stay 1 million miles | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
were Westlife I did not want to alienate the audience. And then on | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
top of that, being a little more me, so getting it rocky and punchy with | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
lots of guitars. I am all about the epic feel to music. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
So that is what I went for. I took country songs and de-Taiwaninged | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
them. It is not what you expect from you? When you see me in the music | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
videos, I have an electric guitar, I am rocking out. It is a little more | :23:36. | :23:52. | |
Bon Jovi and Bryan Adamsesque. So, the boys can explain what they | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
are doing. I am chopping the mango. Aktar has the spices. | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
Coriander seeds in there, term rim, star anise. Lots of coriander seeds. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
Then the beef. I feel like I am in the way but if I | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
move, I will knock everything over. There is sugar and vinegar in there. | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
You go for it. Put them in. The same time. It makes more sense. | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
There you go with. Put the spices in. Give it a stir, chef. Don't move | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
the pan, just stir. Don't call me, chef! You have been | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
promoted! Around here, the bay leaf, the coriander, the lemongrass, in | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
with the beef stock. You are reducing that down with the | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
spices. It is getting thick. So we add the mango to bind it all | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
together. That is the key to it. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
I love mango. Mangos, chillies and lime. I always make a salsa for the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
top of fish. We have the green mango. That is | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
harder but you can get both from the supermarket. | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
I am more of a yellow mango man. In with the coconut milk. And obviously | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
because we use the beef shin this take as long time to cook. So what | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
is brilliant is lamb shanks. If you are worried about the | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
calories, can you use a nicer cut of beef? Why not. It is a bit late now. | :25:38. | :25:48. | |
It is just a question. No! No! You need coconut milk in it, that is the | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
key. You can buy low-fat coconut milk. | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
Can you? Can you really? You can. It is light coconut milk. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Yeah! You can also buy margarine but we're not using that! I only use | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
margarine! Then you can pop it on the stove and gently cook it. The | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
key to this, more than anything else, is the long and the slow | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
cooking. That is what you want. So a good two to three hours. Then we | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
have this rendang that we have here. What we will do to finish it off is | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
add chopped coriander. Throw that in. And coriander in the chutney and | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
a bit of coriander into here with the rice. | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
Glynn can fin finish this off and I will season that. You can stop doing | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
that. So we mix this together. Add a bit | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
of seasoning on there. Salt. -- some salt. Then hopefully we have the | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
rice. Thank you. | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
Nearly there. The smells are incredible. | :27:14. | :27:27. | |
That is a Glynn portion. What are you doing? Just trying to | :27:28. | :27:39. | |
save some for afterwards! Now we put the mango chutney. And then the | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
rendang. That is this beef. | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
Look at that. It smells brilliant. It smells good, the coconut in | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
there. The chilli. The seasoning at the end. | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
Incredible. Proper grub. Dive into that. | :28:01. | :28:07. | |
What about this? That will be ready next week, Kian, don't worry about | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
that. And Olly has chosen a Leyda Reserva | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
