Good morning. Let's get the weekend started with 90 minutes of | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:33. | ||
sensational food. This is Saturday Kitchen Live. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Welcome to the show. Joining me in the kitchen today are two chefs | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
with two different styles. First, the Michelin-starred Edinburgh man | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
flying the flag for Scottish cooking, it is the brilliant Tom | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Kitchin. Next, a woman who returned from travelling across China with | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Ken Hom. It is the award-winning writer and chef, Ching He-Huang. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Great to have you on the show. Tom Kitchin, what are you doing. Game | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
on the menu? It has to be. Grouse, it has come into season. We are | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
roasting it with pumpkin, Jerusalem artichokes and beetroot and a | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
dressing over the top. So a homely version. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
So no gravy, but hazelnut oil? I understand that gravy is | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
difficult. Normally it is with bread sauce. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Ching, what do you have on the menu? I have something from China. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
It is a piece. So I am making twice cooked pork with pickled cucumber. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
Sounds good. You are serving that with spiced cucumber? Yes, a quick | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
:01:57. | :01:59. | ||
cucumber with the chilli bean sauce. So, two different dishs to look | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
forward to. We have great foodie films from the BBC archives from | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Rick Stein and Rachel Khoo. The whole lot of them. Now, the | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
special guest today, used to do my job filling in Saturday morning on | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Live and Kicking, these days he is waking up the nation with the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
award-winning show, Heart FM. It is the great Jamie Theakston. This is | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
your day off? Yes, this has been a lie-in for me. Normally, I am up at | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
4.30am. You can tell how old people are by | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
what they watched on Saturday morning, is that true? I know you | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:52. | ||
are a big Zor rrbg o fan. Well, -- Zorro fan. I grew up with Swap Shop. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
Do you miss that life? I have been here today, seeing the crew, I had | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
forgotten how ugly they are. I do miss it. That excitement of live TV. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
There is nothing like it. Now at the end of the programme, we | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
decide whether or not to cook food heaven or food hell for Jamie. It | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
is based on your favourite ingredient, it is up to the studio | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
guests and the viewers what you are eating. So, food heaven, what is | :03:24. | :03:33. | |
it? I asked my four-year-old son, he said smiley potato faces, but | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
for me it would be something crab- related. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
I am happy with that. What about the dreaded food hell? That is easy, | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
I have terrible memories of chocolate and cherry gateau as a | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
child. I think it was something about the' 70s, dry sponge and | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
awful cheap cooking chocolate and cherry flavouring. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
That is what I'm doing later! So, it could be chocolate and cherry | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
gateau or plaice with crab and samphire. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
The plaice is mixed with caper, olive oil, herbs, eggs, and the | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
sauce made with the brawn meat from the crab, white wine and garlic. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Finished off with a touch of mayonnaise with samphire. | :04:22. | :04:32. | |
How does that sound? Lovely. It is marsh samphire or supermarket | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
samphire? It is supermarket! Or chocolate and cherry gateau. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
First I will use classic chocolate sponge, layered with cherry jam and | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
cream. Topped with a rich chocolate icing, fresh cherries and chocolate | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
sprinkles on the top. You have to wait until the end of the show to | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
see which one Jamie is getting. If you would like to ask us a question | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:16. | ||
We have our work cut out for us today. He has been on MasterChef, | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
now he knows everything about food. Cooking first, it is the champion | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
of great Scottish cooking, it is the brilliant Tom Kitchin. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
So, what are we doing today? Well, really exciting. Grouse, it is a | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
great time of year for it. It is a young grouse. We are going to rest | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
it, with some roasted Jerusalem artichokes, beetroot and a dressing. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
So, do you want me to start on veg. So, do you want me to start on veg. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Yes, the chopping. So, tell us about grouse. It is the | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
start of the grouse season, but what should people be looking for? | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
It starts on the glorious 12th, but this year it was on a Sunday, so we | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
had to wait until the 13th. I use young grouse for roasting. If you | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
use old grouse you have to braise it otherwise it is like eating a | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
Wellington boot, really. I can tap the foot here and pull the tend ons | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
out of that. You mention the young and the old, | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
is it size-related? We are looking for the tenderness of the young. | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
You use it until October, after that there is the other game, the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
partridge, the pheasant or the mallard, the wild duck. Really it | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :06:51. | ||
is a great time of year. So season that. You can buy these down the | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
farmer's market. Or a good butcher's. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
They should, you should get them for about �7 a bird. It is a great | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
Saturday supper. Is it one bird per person? Yes, one | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
bird does a full portion. You are doing a little bit of | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
dicing. As we roast the grouse we will add the vegetables there to | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
roast. So, celariac, I love this stuff, | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
but some people don't know what to do with it. | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
It is fantastic. The skin as well. If you throw that in the bin you | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
will be chased down the street. So, this can be cooked in salt as | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
well with a salt crust, it is lovely. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Oh, yes. There you see there is that lovely | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
golden colour there. What about game Ching, in Chinese | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
cooking? Rabbit is popular. Actually, I have not cooked very | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
much with game before. But we love wild pig. We roast them | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
like suckling pig-style on a big fire. That is very popular. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Definitely, yes. You know in those days, as China is | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
such a big country, you eat whatever you can get. | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
So, we have the grouse. What we do is cook it on one breast | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
for four minutes. Turn it over on to the other breast and sit it up | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
for two minutes. So it should take ten minutes in the oven. In it goes. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
So you basically want to cook it for four minutes and then turn it | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
over? Yes, from breast-to-breast. You are doing this with a garnish | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
of in-season root veg? Yes. In the restaurant we make the sauce | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
from the character areas, the bread sauce, the game chips, but it is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
very restauranty. At home it was a nightmare, I had pans everywhere, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
things were going off, the kids were screaming. This is good as it | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
is all cooked in one pan. It is full of flavour as well. | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
What about game, I don't expect you get to cook that on MasterChef? | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
and I'm a big celeriac fan. One of the sides that I did was as a | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
gratin it was fantastic. That will be on the menu next week. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
It sounds good. How young should the bird be? | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
are hatched in the spring/summer. This is the importance of the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
weather. If there is bad weather, it kills the young chicks, but that | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
is how young the bird is. So, the Jerusalem artichokes, | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
normally these are more fatter? These are young ones. Instead of | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
glanching it, we roast it all in the pan -- glanching it, we roast | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:23. | ||
it all in the pan -- blanching. We need cob nuts. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
We don't have any, chef! OK, we'll have hazelnuts. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
So that is going in the oven at a lower temperature? Yes, that should | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
take ten minutes. Now we have the shallots to make the dressing. If | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
you crush those up. I will make the dressing. | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
Now, you mentioned cob nuts, they are in season? Yes, exactly. Very | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
tasty. They are in season. In the faerblaries market, you can sense | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
the whole -- in the farmer's market, you can sense the whole seasonal | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
thing. That is what this dish is about. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
So, the sauce, you want the pan back for that one. | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
Do you want that one or a fresh pan? We are just going to mix it. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Cob nuts are delicious, they are a sweeter version of hazelnuts. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
I use them in a crumble. You can do all manner of different | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
things, they are wonderful. If you would like to ask a question to the | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:49. | ||
chefs you can call this number, or that is in the oven? If you put the | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
chives in there, the hazelnut oil and a dash of sherry vinegar, and I | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
will... This is a great thing that people should be buying, sherry | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
vinegar. Yes, and hazelnut oil. The | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
Jerusalem artichokes are nutty, so the hazelnut works well. | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
Especially with the stews, it cooks through the fattiness. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Let's take the veg out. There we have the roasted veg. | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
I will turn that one over. These boot roots are the cooked | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
ones. If you were to cook them yourself, you can cook them. But | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
they take a long time to cook, but they are delicious. | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
Now, let's have a look at this, this is nice and crisp on the bacon. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Pop it in for another six minutes. That is that done. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
I'm adding the hazelnut. traditional garnish is bread sauce | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
and game chips, like crisps but with holes in them. | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
Yes, and wild mushrooms. Did you want this? No, chef. | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
Lemon? Now we are going to de-bone the grouse. We ehave 1 minute left. | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:36. | ||
-- we have 1 minute left. The grouse, the male and the female | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
in fes ants, there is -- pheasants, there is not that much difference | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
in size? No, they are similar. We keep the bacon. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
That is the best bit. The meat is so young and tender. | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
But if you over-cook it, you are in big trouble. | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
How popular is this on your menu? We change the menu all the time, | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
but without plugging it too much, this is from my new book, the | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
roasted autumn veg which is in the new book, Kitchen Suppers, so the | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
grouse is on the menu. You have done it now! I mix the two | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
together. That is the great thing about cook books, you take a little | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
:14:35. | :14:35. | ||
bit and add a different twist on it. Of course you are cooking again | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
next month at the Good Food Show in Glasgow? I love it. It is so much | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
fun. Hopefully I can manage you to come to Edinburgh. Have some dinner | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
with us, maybe a grouse. So there are all of the lovely vegetables. | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
There is the young grouse and the lovely dressing. It is difficult to | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
do a gravy like in the restaurant at home. | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
:15:10. | :15:16. | ||
the roasted young grouse. We have roasted Jerusalem artichoke, | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
:15:27. | :15:31. | ||
pumpkin, beetroot and a hazelnut like? We're getting hungry. What | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
about grouse, have you tried it before? I tend to be not a gamey | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
kind of person. If it's too, well if it's too gamey, if it's too... | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Strong. Well hung, can I use that expression? Yeah it's the strength, | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
hanging produces the strength of the game. I don't hang my grouse. I | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
love the young, fresh flavour. mentioned the gravy which is heavy, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
this is quite light. It's like hopefully people can see this today | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
and do it at home. Get down the farmers' markets. It's so fresh and | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
vibrant. Not as strong as traditional game. Not at all. That | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
is amazing. That is fantastic. We're not going to get any! I know! | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
We sent Tim Atkin to Sussex this week and he is starting off with a | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
place more famous for engine oil than fine line, Goodwood. I wonder | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
what he's chosen to go with the grouse. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
I'm on the starting grid at the Goodwood motor circuit in time for | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
the revival. Now I'm heading into chichister to find revved up wines | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :16:55. | ||
chichister to find revved up wines Tom, these are the flavours of | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Autumn, the richness of the grouse and those lovely roasted vegetables. | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
I'm after a full bodied, heady red wine to partner them. No whimpy | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
wines here. We could go with this one from southern Italy. I'm | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
looking for a wine with more texture. I'm going to Portugal to | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:29. | ||
find it. The wine is a 2009 Tinto Portugal have local grapes you | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
won't find anywhere else in the world. But they're blended with two | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
international grapes. This is something of a reinvented classic | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
ah, a traditional wine with a modern twist. On the nose, we've | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
got BlackBerry, plum, cassis, sweet vanilla oak and a herbal note with | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
works well with the thyme. On the pallet, enough flavour and texture | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
to partner the grouse and bacon. There's an earthy undertone that | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
works nicely with the artichoke, pumpkin and beetroot and the ripe | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Portuguese fruit picks up on the sweetness of the sha lots and | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
onions. Tom, this is a farside red thaw want to cuddle. It's great | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
with your grouse. Cheers! Absolutely brilliant. Shall I give | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
it a wee cuddle. It's a warming feeling. Particularly like the dish | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
as well. Traditionally grouse and red wine, you have to get something | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
big. Portugese I wouldn't have thought of. That I enjoy it. Well | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
done. It goes well with it. This is fantastic. I thought it was only | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
airports where you could drink between 11am. He had a sip of that | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
while you were watching that and he looked at his watch. You're allowed | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
now. I came to work and I was watching people still going into | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
nightclubs this morning. Coming up Ching will show us a dish she | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
uncovered on her journey round China. What is it? | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
She speaks Chinese NOW RICK STEIN AND WE HAVE A NEW | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
SERIES FOR Saturday Kitchen. He's driving through northern Spain on | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
his way to Anti-flag chofy factory. I bet you're glad you don't have | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
smelly-vision. I'm continuing my journey from the | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
coast of ga lista towards cantabria in the Basque country. I'm getting | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
quiegt -- quite fond of this old camper van actually. It goes along | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
at quite a steady pace. It's not exactly speedy. But you can think | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
about things on these long motorways in Spain. On the subject | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
of motorways, it seems there's a dual carriageway linking every | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
shepherd's hut no matter how remote. There's so much of it. I'm hoping | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
to glimpse the Spain I knew as a child on holiday, by the Bay of | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
Biscay, nerblly half a century ago. -- nearly. I'm puzzled. I first | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
came here when I was eight years old. I've got strong memories of | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
the hotel we stayed at called the hotel Carlos V. I'm told it's | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
around here. People are saying no, no it's been demolished. It's just | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
a camp site round here. It means a lot to me, because it's probably my | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
earliest gourmet memories. I was eight at the time. We drove over | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
from England in my dad's blue Jaguar. I can distinctly remember | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
really liking squid cooked in its own ink with garlic and tomato. I | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
liked it. I remember coke having it for the first time in green bottles. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
My sister loved the heavy green bottles that it came in in those | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
days. It's a bit like my, the director won't like this, it means | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
going back to your childhood to those really nostalgic memories. My | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
parents brought me here. This coast stretching into the Basque country | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
is world famous for anchovies. They're supposed to be the best in | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
the world because the cold water of the sea here produces firm fleshed | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
fish and that's the secret of good anchovies. They need to keep their | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
firmness before they enter the canning factories. Look at these | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
silver darlings! They're salted minutes from landing, left for five | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
to six hours, wash and packed into barrels to cure for about a year. | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
It's only after that, that they're washed again, filleted and put into | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
lovely ornate tins. I've often found the difference between a | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
sardine and anchovy -- and an anchovy really hard to tell. The | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
sardine has a greeny tinge to it. It looks more like a mackerel. When | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
you look at the anchovy it's beautiful with a lovely deep blue | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
tinge to it. It's really sleek. Interestingly, they were telling me | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
when you get lots of sardines in with the an chofzy the price goes | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
right down because it's the anchovy that's the prized fish. I must | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
confess I naively thought that tins of an chofzy -- anchovies were | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
filled by machine. I had no idea they were done by hand. Whu look at | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
how wonderfully laid out they are and all the skill here, just the | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
way they are snipping and cutting and layering it, it's fabulous. Of | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
course, I was just talking to somebody the other day about | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
anchovies, a Spanish guy, he was saying that anchovies are like the | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
ham of the sea, like a ham, they're that order of quality really. He | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
was suggesting that anchovies like this were like on a par with things | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
like imberico ham, truffles, caviar and that sort of thing. I totally | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
agree with him. Now they're covered with olive oil, a mild one because | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
you want to taste the fish, these are far too good for pizzas, best | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
in a salad or with tap as or eaten as they are with bread or a cold | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
glass of wine. Here's to anchovies and the ladies who pack them so | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :23:50. | ||
beautifully! This remote Villa in the olive groves of and lieu Sia -- | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
And alucia is where I am cooking. I will prepare an anchovy salad. I | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
start with grew tons and a very start with grew tons and a very | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
good olive oil. -- croutons. Croutons are bigger than ours in | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
other countries. This dish I dreamt up using local ingredients, garlic, | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
olive oil, nice croutons, but the anchovies, it's all about that. I'm | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
thinking what I really like is just getting the tin and taking one out. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
They're so sweet. They have a reSidual sweetness when they're | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
this good. The salad shows them off at their very best. I can't think | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
of anything better than this in the summer. Eaten outside on a warm, | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
sunny day, no fuss. The dressing is important. It's as easy as can be - | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
two egg yolks and then garlic. I chop it coursely at first and crush | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
it slightly with a sea salt to bring out the oils. The flavour of | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
garlic is the taste of Spain, as far as I'm concerned. It was once | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
considered to be obl for the poor. I remember my parents saying | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
Spanish fool was too greasy and far too much garlic. Now mustard, half | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
a teaspoon of dijon and then a tad more salt and the juice of half a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
lemon. Then you're ready for the olive oil. This dressing stands up | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
with the best of them. It's a mayonnaise really with a lemon and | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
garlic which makes it even better. This would probably be my favourite | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
salad of all time, certainly today any way! I'm making this for four, | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
but could easily eat the lot myself. It's a nice balance here. You have | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
the soft creaminess of the eggs, the sweet saltiness of the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
anchovies, the crispness of the lettuce, the warm crunch of | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
croutons and that luxury touch that sauce or mayonnaise that transports | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
you into a restaurants lapping the shores of the Med. Then there's the | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
:26:02. | :26:03. | ||
wine, what better Thane cold, very cold, alberino? Just as I | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
anticipated, sweet, beautiful, do you know, I make friends with | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
people that share enthusiasms for food with me. I make best friends | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
with people that like chorizo sausages, imberico and cantabrian | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
anchovies. Looks great. For this week's master | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
class, I thought I'd show you something perfect for Sunday lunch. | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
It's an ingredient that I know you love, lamb, which is delicious. I'm | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
going to trim and prepare a rack of lamb. This is called a French trim. | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
You need to get the butcher to remove this bone here called the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
chime. If you put these together it's a saddle of lamb. If you cut | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
that straight through these bones, you end up with chops. To prepare | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
it as a joint, you need to first of all trim it a bit. Under there | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
there's a sinew. You remove. That it's like elastic. If you keep that | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
in, it squashes the meat while it cooks. The idea is to remove the | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
fat from the bone. You can trim this straight through there. If you | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
look where I've got, you have the meat and this here. This is all | :27:21. | :27:29. | |
bone. We can carefully remove this with a knife. You trim this all the | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
way through. You fold this as you go. Be really careful. This is why | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
it's important to invent, this is a boning knife. The reason being it's | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
a sturdy blade but a firm handle. It allows you to grab a hold of it. | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
You grab each of the bones and cut through. How many times have you | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
cut yourself doing that? I'm trying to remember the last time I did it. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
It is a college thing really. really important. It's the | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
foundations of cooking. You must have learned butchery while doing | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
MasterChef. One of the things I did learn is just how blunt knives are | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
at home. When you work in a professional kitchen, you realise | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
these things are like raisors. can't do this with a blunt knife. | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
Traditionally I would keep this on, but classically... Oh, no! Isn't | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
that where all the flavour is. can stick it back on if you want. | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
The French trim would be to remove the fat off. I know that, yeah, he | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
accidents like it over there. don't like it. When I serve lamb I | :28:43. | :28:49. | |
leave the fat on and when the plates come back they leave the fat. | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
I feel like taking it back. You go in between the ribs like spare ribs. | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
You can see how much work goes into preparing one piece of meat. What | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
is it you're removing there between the actual ribs? This is called | :29:04. | :29:13. | |
French trimming. Then what you do is you get a knife, you want a | :29:13. | :29:21. | |
decent cooks knife. Then you scrape the bones. The trimmings would be | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
good for the hot pot. Yeah, use them for all manner of different | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
things. But you idea -- the idea is you use the blade of the knife or | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
back of the knife to scrape the meat off the bone. This is a | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
classic way of what the French call to French trim. That's to remove | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
the meat off the bone like that. You could leave it as it is. We're | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
going to trim off this and get this frying in a pan. Remove, also | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
there's a sinew on here which I'm going to remove off. I would if I | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
was at home leave the fat on. But I've taken it off because I'm going | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
to do this with a Herbie crust with as well. You can see why your piece | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
of meat ends up costing the amount because if you keep trimming it up | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
like that, you have more sinew in there, that one and the amount of | :30:14. | :30:24. | |
:30:24. | :30:24. | ||
work that's involved in preparing everyone thinks that spring lamb is | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
the best, but through the year, there is more flavour in the meat. | :30:29. | :30:35. | |
And later on in the year, there is hoggit, that is delicious. | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
Fantastic. So we are going to pan fry that and | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
do it with a herby crumb and beans. So, first of all, commiserations on | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
last night. You were knocked out? had a few people who knew I was | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
coming on the show this morning, who tweeted to say not to give away | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
the results of last night's show, but you have done that now! It | :31:02. | :31:08. | |
wasn't my fault! No, I didn't realise how involved I would get in | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
the show. Watching it back last night, even | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
though I knew what was going to happen, it was quite emotional. | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
It seems to me it is a bit like when I did Strictly Come Dancing. | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
You do it and think you will turn up, move around a little bit, and | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
then all of a sudden you are doing 19 hours a day and it takes over | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
your life? Yes, unbelievable. I was doing the Heart FM show in the | :31:37. | :31:46. | |
morning. So getting up at 4.30am. Do the show, then whizz down to the | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
MasterChef studio, work until 8.00pm in the evening. Get home, | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
practise dishes at night. Sometimes not going to bed until after | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
midnight... Welcome to the world of chefing! I was exhausted by the end | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
much it, but it was worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Far more | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
than I thought I would. Great stuff. Oh, fantastic. I am | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
pleased for the finalists. They have done so well. I understand | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
more than most what they have been through. | :32:15. | :32:20. | |
Is that because you have been a part of that. It has taken over | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
your life in terms of cooking at home? It has changed my attitude | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
towards food. I always enjoyed food as you may tell. I go out a lot, | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
but I never really understood the process behind it. Now when I go to | :32:36. | :32:41. | |
the restaurant, I try to order something different and asking the | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
waiter or the chef exactly how they have done things. | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
So, you will be doing lamb or grouse tonight? Exactly. | :32:51. | :32:59. | |
Now, that is with a little must and -- mustard and herbs on the top. | :32:59. | :33:05. | |
How does it stay on top? mustard. You mentioned the radio | :33:05. | :33:10. | |
show. It is going from strength-to- strength. You have been doing it | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
for some time? Nearly seven years, but it is going well. We have a lot | :33:15. | :33:20. | |
of fun. How does it compare against live | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
television. Live and Kicking was a great fun to do? I have happy | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
memories of that show. In a way it is similar. It is a three-hour live | :33:29. | :33:37. | |
show. That is what we do now. You didn't have HD, then, did you? | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
No! I did miss the live TV environment. It is a lot of fun. | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
But you have gone full circle in your career, didn't you start life | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
in radio? You wanted to be different things when growing up, | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
but when people first heard you and noticed you it was on radio? That | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
is right. I used to do a lot of sport early on. I started on radio. | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
Then I started to do Saturday mornings and then I did various | :34:05. | :34:10. | |
other TV shows. So I have kind of come full circle. | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
I remember, you mentioned sport, you were a big fan of cricket? | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
a big fan of cricket. grandfather was big fan of cricket. | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
He said I had to be like you, getting a proper job, not messing | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
around in the kitchen! So, I have the beans here, the pre-cooked | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
potatoes. A little shallot, rosemary and you take shopped herbs. | :34:38. | :34:44. | |
It is a simple dish this. You can do it with fish and meat. It is so | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
quick. A little bit of stock in there. Then we finish it off. This | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
is the key to it... I didn't quite understand how much butter you guys | :34:56. | :35:05. | |
:35:06. | :35:06. | ||
like to use! It is terrifying. Every time I do a demo in Scotland | :35:06. | :35:16. | |
:35:16. | :35:17. | ||
and I mention James Martin, they shout, "Butter." The great thing | :35:17. | :35:24. | |
about the French trim idea is that you cut through... You see each one | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
slices straight through. The work has gone in before going in the | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
oven it makes it so much easier to carve. | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
So this is from French trim. That is what you want to do if you have | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
half an hour free tomorrow. There we go. | :35:41. | :35:48. | |
We have to season this up. A little salt, some black pepper. | :35:48. | :35:57. | |
Now mix this all together. You see this lovely ragu. It is so easy. | :35:57. | :36:03. | |
The onions are cooked... Such a simp way of serving lamb. Then you | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
get the lamb... Pop that on there. There you have it. | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
That looks great. Fantastic! Let me have a plate, please! Where is | :36:16. | :36:23. | |
ours?! This is so simp. You can buy fresh or frozen peas. These are | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
from the garden. I was thinking where is the veg, | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
the gravy? But this is it. Cooking at home, rather than doing | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
sauces, do it all in one pan, but lots of butter in it! Now, if there | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
is a skill or tip you would like us to demonstrate on the show, or you | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
need help with a cooking technique, get it here by dropping us a line. | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
We will try to answer them in the next few weeks. All of the details | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
are on the website at bbc.co.uk/saturdaykitchen. | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
What are we cooking for Jamie at the end of the show? It could be | :36:59. | :37:09. | |
:37:09. | :37:17. | ||
food heaven or food hell. There is facing food hell. A big chocolate | :37:17. | :37:25. | |
and cherry gateau! A classic Genoise sponge, layered with jam. | :37:25. | :37:32. | |
Topped off with a rich chocolate icing, with an Italian meringue and | :37:32. | :37:38. | |
butter. Some of our viewers in the studio get to decide Jamie's feat, | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
but you have to wait until the end of the show to see the results. | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
Right, it is time for the Great British Menu. It is a room full of | :37:49. | :37:59. | |
:37:59. | :37:59. | ||
record-breaking Olympians. So, Both chefs have given their all in | :37:59. | :38:05. | |
a bid to create ground-breaking menus to capture the spirit of the | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
Olympic Games, but only one chef can go forward to represent | :38:08. | :38:14. | |
Scotland in the finals. Having pushed to get this far, Alan and | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
Colin are going head-to-head with a huge challenge. They have to cook | :38:19. | :38:25. | |
their entire menures again for the judges. To upset one another it is | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
a war of words. You have obviously been behind it | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
will be nice to see you coming to the fore. I didn't come here to | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
lose. Alan is quick off the blocks with | :38:37. | :38:43. | |
his starter. A duck terrine with five different textures of | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
pineapple. He is tackling it well. Alan is first to the passe. Will | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
his attention to detail pay off? careful. It is really important to | :38:57. | :39:06. | |
use two hands for the dish. If it tips out, you're dead! Is Alan's | :39:06. | :39:15. | |
precision- made terrine ground- breaking enough to win? This is | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
such a good start. If it tastes as good as it looks, he is in with a | :39:21. | :39:27. | |
chance. This is an Olympian dish. There are five different kinds of | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
pineapple. They are all different and they all go with the ter eyeen. | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
It is not too assertive. Here it is just beautiful, playing second | :39:38. | :39:46. | |
fiddle to the terrine. This shows intelligence. You can | :39:46. | :39:52. | |
tell that the chef has thought about it. This was not happening | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
overnight. We asked for Olympian heights, if this guy has not | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
delivered. This is just amazing. I think he has done it. We have a | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
long way to go. So, Alan's starter has lit the | :40:08. | :40:13. | |
judges' Olympic torch. Will rookie, Colin, be able to reach the same | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
dazzling heights? It is show time. Colin's Olympic hopes rest on the | :40:19. | :40:25. | |
humble pigeon. He is cooking pigeon with a nettle foam. | :40:25. | :40:33. | |
The first dish on the passe, Colin, feeling the pressure? Not at all. | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
(if you cook well, you may have a chance of coming second! Colin | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
starts to plate up. For a final Olympic flourish, Colin | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
adds the vav lin-speared pigeon hearts -- javelin-speared pigeon | :40:50. | :40:59. | |
hearts to the foam. Quick as you can, thank you. | :40:59. | :41:09. | |
:41:09. | :41:11. | ||
Will Colin's celebration of pigeon tick the box on invasion? Oh, an | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
interesting heart on the end of the secure. I love the heart, I would | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
have liked more. This is a beautiful piece of | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
cooking. There are unusual elements in here I did not expect. This is | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
really making your heart beat faster? It is not great cooking it | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
is only good. So, Colin's start err did not quite | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
reach the heights. Alan is ahead going into the fish course. The | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
char-grilled mackerel came out on top, but with the beetroots, the | :41:46. | :41:56. | |
:41:56. | :41:57. | ||
merance and the caviar, he has his hands full. But disaster strikes! | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
This is a challenge. It has never, ever, ever, stuck | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
before. How bad is it? I am not upbeat, but what can I do. | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
He serves the rescued mackerel and adds the horseradish ice courtroom | :42:14. | :42:24. | |
:42:24. | :42:26. | ||
and hopes that the dish is not ruined. | :42:26. | :42:36. | |
:42:36. | :42:36. | ||
-- ice-cream. Heaven! This looks like a rockpool | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
in which the fish comes to breed. Beautiful. | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
It looks like art on a plate. It looks like pudding, sweet, but it | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
is mackerel. The caramelisation on the mackerel is beautiful. This is | :42:50. | :42:57. | |
an absolutely excellent bit of fish. Is this the ice-cream? There is | :42:57. | :43:03. | |
horseradish. Beetroot balls and savoury beetroot meringues, and the | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
green bits this, apple! This is some very original, clever cooking. | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
I do I think that the dish works. It is a chef working well with his | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
ingredients. This is what we are looking for. A really beautiful bit | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
of cooking on all levels. This chef has taken the high road. | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
I will knit-pick a bit. Too much ice-cream. I think that the colour | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
is beautiful, the tastes are great. It is fabulous. Exciting cooking. I | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
think that the Olympians would be as excited as we are. | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
So, despite the set-back, Alan has scored another hit. Can Colin close | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
the gap? He is convinced his fish bowl is the stroke of invasion that | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
the judges are looking for. Despite scoring six during the week, but | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
Alan can smell blood. That is twice I have done it. They | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
are not coming together. Is there a problem with the broth? No, it is | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
perfect. I would not serve it otherwise. Unfortunately, I had to | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
serve something that was not perfect. | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
I will not make that same mistake. Colin is placing the squid ing, | :44:20. | :44:30. | |
coated in halibut, adding the scallops and the celeriac. | :44:30. | :44:37. | |
Please, be very, very careful. it is a fish bowl! OK, what's in | :44:37. | :44:45. | |
here? It is very pretty. I think that is squid ink that is in there. | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
It has good flavour. I think that the fish has been very well treated | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
here. I fine pies of halibut which is just cooked to the point of | :44:56. | :45:02. | |
perfection. The scallop adds the sweetness on top and the sweetness | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
from the squid ink. I have never had a piece of fish cooked in a | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
water bath, surrounded by squid ink. It is wonderful. There are lots of | :45:13. | :45:18. | |
delicate flavours. If the broth is done well, it make it is sing. | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
is a classic case of less is more. I think that this fulfils the brief | :45:23. | :45:29. | |
really, almost to perfection. We are not used to these | :45:29. | :45:37. | |
ingredients. I am having a ball You can see who makes it through to | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
the final in about 20 minutes. Still to come this morning: Rachel | :45:42. | :45:47. | |
has more delights from her Little Paris Kitchen. She's using rooftop | :45:47. | :45:52. | |
honey to make madeleines with lemon curd. And Tom and Ching take their | :45:52. | :46:01. | |
turn at the all new omelette -- omlet challenge. You can see the | :46:01. | :46:08. | |
action live late orn. Will Jamie face heaven, brown and white crab | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
meat or a hell, a cherry gateaux. We find out at the end of the show. | :46:12. | :46:20. | |
Cooking next is a man who has just finished -- is a woman who has just | :46:20. | :46:26. | |
finished a culinary floration with Ken Hom. What are you cooking? | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
Twice cooked pork. It's a classic dish. You boil the pork first then | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
we will wok fry it. I will use the holy trinity of Chinese pastes, | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
fermented black bean, sweet bean paste and chilli bean paste and I | :46:42. | :46:48. | |
brought some from China for you to try. Big piece of belly pork. Water | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
to the boil. I will pop that in. We will cook that for 30 minutes. | :46:53. | :47:00. | |
us about your travels then. It's a four-part series. You were with Mr | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
four-part series. You were with Mr Ken Hom. Yes, the Godfather of | :47:02. | :47:08. | |
Chinese cook. Is he as popular in China as he is everywhere around | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
the world? He's very popular. You know, he had fans in China wanting | :47:14. | :47:21. | |
his autograph as well. He's a bit a party animal. He is. He loves his | :47:21. | :47:30. | |
drink actually. Sorry Ken! Just announced that to three million | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
people. Sorry. He'll be on the phone in a minute. Oh, God, sorry | :47:33. | :47:39. | |
Ken. He's like my dad. We were touring around and everyone was | :47:39. | :47:47. | |
saying how much we look alike. that's not how you do it. You | :47:47. | :47:55. | |
do this. That's how you make cucumber salad. I have never seen | :47:55. | :48:05. | |
:48:05. | :48:05. | ||
anything like that before. I suppose they didn't teach that in | :48:05. | :48:15. | |
:48:15. | :48:16. | ||
French cooking scoon. China is a huge place. Yes we narrowed it down | :48:16. | :48:26. | |
:48:26. | :48:29. | ||
to buy jing, Sichuan and -- Beijing. So smash the cucumber, deseed it, | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
this is a classic dish. In there I've put sesame oil, about a | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
tablespoon. In with this gorgeous chilli bean paste. I brought this | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
from China. This one? Yes. It's really winey and beanie. What's the | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
difference? That is the one you get in the supermarkets here. This has | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
been aged for five years. This dish is meant to have that salty, winey, | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
fermented tone. That's what it's supposed to look like. Is it aged | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
in barrels? They age it in huge urns, which is incredible. These | :49:00. | :49:05. | |
guys just rotate it. You finish Mitching that for me. They rotate | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
it using -- finish mixing that for me. They rotate it using a big | :49:10. | :49:20. | |
:49:20. | :49:21. | ||
paddle. We're making a French omelette later! In goes Vinegar. | :49:21. | :49:28. | |
Grate some garlic in there. Do you love garlic? And chilli oil. Love | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
it. That bean paste, is that mild? How does it differ from the shop- | :49:33. | :49:39. | |
bought ones? It's spicy and it's got a more winey tones. It's chilli | :49:39. | :49:48. | |
bean paste is broad beans, salt and some chillies fermented. I have a | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
wok smoking hot here. I'll get it. The pork has been what? Boil it for | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
30 minutes then you can squish it down with a tray or if you can have | :49:58. | :50:04. | |
a gorgeous BSE like this. Just chill it and the main point of | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
boiling it is to get the skin cooked to get the fat out. Do you | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
want sugar? A pinch, that would be nice, thank you. We want to just, | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
it's easier to cut the pork when you put it on the skin side flat. | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
You slice it thinly. Where do the ideas of these knives come from? | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
These things fascinate me. I see the different sized ones. But you | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
do everything with this? Yeah we're very passionate about our food. It | :50:34. | :50:42. | |
reflects in how we cut and slice our food. You were on about the | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
layers before. Exactly, this is belly pork. You can use the pork | :50:47. | :50:55. | |
shoulder or pork thigh for this. It's got layers of heaven, we say. | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
You have skin, fat, meat and fat. It's wonderful. Five layers of | :51:00. | :51:06. | |
heaven. You'll end up there pretty quick if you eat all this. Try to | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
slice it as thin as possible, wok smoking hot. What oil do you use? | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
Groundnut oil. We just want to fry this until the skin is nice and | :51:17. | :51:26. | |
crispy. What about Chinese food, ever attempted it? You're looking | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
bemused. It normally arrives at my front door about 7.30pm. People | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
this is it is complicated but when you break it down like this, it's | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
just about great ingredients? really great, fresh ingredients, | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
yes. Good quality pork. Make sure it's free range, organic. It will | :51:44. | :51:51. | |
taste a lot sweeter, more tender. That wok looks serious. Really hot. | :51:51. | :51:57. | |
We want to brown it and get the skin really crispy. We are obsessed | :51:57. | :52:05. | |
with texture in China. It has to play on the tongue, chewy bit, | :52:05. | :52:10. | |
meltingly soft fat bit. No salt or anything. No salt. So nice and | :52:10. | :52:17. | |
brown. A couple of minutes. Once it's nice and brown, we can add in | :52:17. | :52:27. | |
:52:27. | :52:29. | ||
some rice wine, this is really good. Use dry sherry. Shaoxing rice wine. | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
This is your wok from home then? is. It's not very well seasoned. | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
It's not a Ken Hom wok. No, it's not. Sorry Ken. He will have | :52:39. | :52:44. | |
switched off by now. He'll be speaking to his lawyers. | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
opportunity of doing a possible other trip has gone out the window. | :52:47. | :52:53. | |
Do you guys want to come instead. Frbgts Bless him. It was so much | :52:53. | :52:58. | |
fun. We just learned, when I went to China, honestly, I realised I | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
knew nothing about Chinese cooking because there's so much to learn. | :53:01. | :53:08. | |
It's so broad. Everyone is so passionate. You just threw | :53:08. | :53:13. | |
something in. Light soy sauce, dark soy sauce. Fermented black beans? | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
Yes, I mixed them with chilli bean paste and the yellow bean paste. | :53:18. | :53:24. | |
You can buy these in a Chinese supermarket or online. Can you | :53:24. | :53:34. | |
:53:34. | :53:36. | ||
slice that that horse-ear shape. Horse ear? An ear? Yeah. I think | :53:36. | :53:46. | |
:53:46. | :53:51. | ||
she's been on the -- I think she's been on the rice wine. Is this OK? | :53:52. | :53:59. | |
Yes, beautiful. Is that an ear? the spring onion like a horse ear. | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
Could do. Talking about recipes, this is in my new book with Ken. | :54:03. | :54:10. | |
Here we go! That's all for today's recipes, including this one from | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
Ching... It's called exploring China. We got that. Go to | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
bbc.co.uk/Saturdaykitchen. I will share some of my best recipes | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
tomorrow morning at 10am on BBC Two. That looks good. I have rice here | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
just steamed jasmine rice, just cooked absorption method. They want | :54:29. | :54:36. | |
to see the horse's ear but you've put it in there. Sorry. Can you see, | :54:36. | :54:43. | |
looked like a horse's ear, very pointy. Pointy. Exactly. That's it. | :54:43. | :54:48. | |
We can plate up. What about this? That's the flour pepper. I wanted | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
to explain because who loves this cuisine will love this pepper. It | :54:55. | :55:02. | |
has a numbingly citrusy taste. But really the soul of this cooking | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
used in every dish is this, chilli bean paste, good quality one. Look | :55:07. | :55:14. | |
for that. And chilli, you can use it as a garnic. -- garnish. It's | :55:14. | :55:24. | |
:55:24. | :55:30. | ||
great I have a fantastic commy chef here, no sous-chef. You want some | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
rice as well. Yes. We get these ingredients in the Chinese | :55:35. | :55:42. | |
supermarket? Yes online. Try and find a good one without MSG. Try to | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
find a good source without MSG. There are some good ones around. | :55:46. | :55:56. | |
:55:56. | :55:57. | ||
There's your rice. That is my dish with the horse's ear chilli and | :55:57. | :56:05. | |
spring onions. This is an absolute star. | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
There you go. You get to dive into that one. I know this is good. | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
Because we tried this this morning already. Wow, wow, wow. Five layers | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
of heaven. It looks fantastic. not waiting. There you go. I only | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
managed to get four of those lay derz - the fat, the skin, the meat | :56:23. | :56:31. | |
and the fat again. That's four right? Five, skin fat -- skin, fat, | :56:31. | :56:37. | |
meat, fat, skin. I don't understand why you boil it beforehand? | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
boil it to get the skin cooked. It's the texture that we want. When | :56:42. | :56:48. | |
we wok fry it, it will crisp up. It's for that. It makes the texture | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
soft and delicious. Sensational. I'm going to add this to my | :56:52. | :56:59. | |
repertoire. Let's go back and see what Tim has chosen to go with | :56:59. | :57:09. | |
:57:09. | :57:17. | ||
what Tim has chosen to go with Ching, there are three prominent | :57:17. | :57:21. | |
flavours in your recipe, the pork, the chilli and cucumber pickling. I | :57:21. | :57:27. | |
have to choose a white wine for them. In my opinion an unoaked one. | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
You could choose something like this, amongst the inexpensive | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
German wines. I'm going down under to Australia instead. The wine I've | :57:34. | :57:44. | |
:57:44. | :57:46. | ||
picked is the 2009 Leasingham Magnus Riesling. There's no denying | :57:46. | :57:52. | |
that reez ling has a problem here in the UK. It's always sweet. | :57:52. | :57:57. | |
Whereas wines that come from the three As, alSAS, Austria and | :57:57. | :58:02. | |
Australia, are invariably dry, just like this. On the nose - it's a | :58:02. | :58:08. | |
toasty quality to this, which is often a sign of a great bottle aged | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
Reeseling. Along with lemon and lime, delicious with that fragrant | :58:11. | :58:19. | |
rice. On the palate - enough acidity to cut through the texture | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
of the pork, the tropical fruit notes for the salty soy and | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
sweetness to partner the tang of the pickled cucumber. Ching, Asian | :58:29. | :58:35. | |
food, Aussie Reisling. Hope you like it. | :58:35. | :58:38. | |
I know the food's going down well. What do you think of the wine? | :58:38. | :58:43. | |
Delicious. I have to say, that is one of my favourites I've tried on | :58:43. | :58:48. | |
the entire earies. This is going to be selling out fast. Get down and | :58:48. | :58:52. | |
get it. Six years on the show, there is little better than that. | :58:52. | :58:58. | |
think it sometimes gets a bad reputation, but that combination is | :58:58. | :59:03. | |
spot on. This dish is a winner. It's time to find out who made it | :59:03. | :59:06. | |
through to represent Scotland in through to represent Scotland in | :59:06. | :59:16. | |
:59:16. | :59:18. | ||
With renewed confidence, Colin's game face is back. He's out to take | :59:18. | :59:23. | |
the lead with his loin of lamb served with underused tongue and | :59:23. | :59:29. | |
sweetbreads. But can he deliver? think that dish has put you under | :59:29. | :59:33. | |
pressure. What's the points of doing retro safe food. Is that a | :59:33. | :59:37. | |
dig? Determined to keep his cool Colin races to plate the numerous | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
elements of his dish. You're under pressure doing three, how will it | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
be for 100? Easy, but you'll probably be helping me. You'll be a | :59:46. | :59:56. | |
:59:56. | :59:57. | ||
great help. Fighting talk from Lamb at the fop of the plate, | :59:57. | :00:04. | |
please, yeah? Thank you very much. Is cottin's lamb with tongue and | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
sweetbreads, awe-inspierbing enough for our world-class athletes? | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
looks lovely clean food. Good ingredients. I hate the look of | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
this dish. I don't understand it. This is supposed to be a dish | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
infused with Olympian ideal. Yet, I would say this is conventional | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
cooking to the point of boring. You know, I think there is | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
something the matter with you two. Seriously, I am getting cross. We | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
said at the beginning that what we were looking for was excellent, | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
excellent cooking and that is what we have got. I couldn't agree more, | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
pru, but what I disagree eis that is where we begin, but it is also | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
about imagination, create ifrt, pushing the boundaries -- | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
creativity, and pushing the boundaries of cooking. OK, so he | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
needs to look at it again. I think he has to start again. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
No, he does not. Colin's dish is not faring so well. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
How will Alan fare. A dish that is combining comfort food favourites | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
with innovative cooking techniques. It is the moment of truth is | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
macaroni cheese, ground-breaking enough for an Olympic feast e? He | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
:01:35. | :01:36. | ||
serves warm parsley jelly, and the barley field macaroni and finishes | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
with veal breast. OK. Go. Go. Go. | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Has Alan whipped his dish into shape? Is it an Olympic contender. | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
So, this is a veal sweetbread? is too dry. I think he has the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
macaroni cheese, I think there is the veal, which is someone with a | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
new toy with a car coal -- charcoal. I cannot explain this cone of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
dryness. No chef worth his salt could have sat down and eaten this | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
and thought that was a great dish, good enough to put in front of | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
Olympians. He has not even eaten this stuff. Or if he has, he should | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
not be in the kitchen. So, Alan's main course has failed | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
to dazzle the judges. Throwing the competition wide open. Can Colin | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
overtake Alan on the home straight with his desert? A dish he | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
struggled with in the heats. Well, Colin. 100 times better | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
today? That is why it looks perfect. Finally, he adds a scoop of ice- | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
cream. But is his combination of | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
vegetables and chocolate, daring enough for a podium finish? I have | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
no idea what is going on here. Chocolate mousse is OK, but it is | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
just mousse. The sponge is just sponge. I agree that the mousse is | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
not the best we have had, but I do want to have the recipe for this | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
sponge cake it was made with boot root. How does it go into the pan | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
red and come out yellow? That is a miracle! He is trying to put | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
unusual ingredients together. is a load of average things that | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
have no relationship together whatsoever! So, Colin has not quite | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
hit the mark it comes down to Alan's desert. The lowest-scoring | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
dish of the week. His hopes rest on a going for gold medal, filled with | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
chocolate, caramel, coffee and orange. It is a risky combination | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
that did not pay off in the heats. He sprays the medal with edible | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
gold and finishes off with an Olympic ribbon. There is one more | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
trick up his sleeve. What you normally do is with a Gold | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Medal, is serve it on a cushion, with people who are dressed in the | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
national dress. OK. Up on to the passe with these. Good luck. Don't | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
:04:34. | :04:34. | ||
drop it! So, will Alan's going for gold Olympic medal wow the judges, | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:45. | ||
or is it a step too far? Well, it doesn't lack drama, does it? It is | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
fun. But it lacks food. It has chocolate on the outside. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Salty. Delicious! We love the salt. Every aspect has been thought about. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
I will be a killjoy. Basically, we have a tiny little pot. All of the | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
rest is flowery. There is a lovely guy in a kilt, two girls in a kilt, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
but it is about getting a mould made and a cushion made and a bit | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
of wood made. It is not about cooking. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Pru! Can you imagine this, the final dinner, the great banquet, | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
all of the Olympians arranged around, and you think, hang on, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
let's finish up the evening with a smile on our face? There is nothing | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
that the chefs can do now but await the judge's verdict. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
I know what I want, but what about you? I have made up my mind. | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
I have indeed, Pru. Perfect, let's call in the chefs. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Their wait is finally over. For one of them, the Olympic dream will | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
continue, the other will be going home. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
I'm sure you want to know who is going forward for the national. So, | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
it's a question of menus. I have made up my mind. | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
I am going for menu A. I hate to disagree with you, but I have gone | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
for menu B. Oh, so Oliver it is up to you. | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
going for menu B as well. Now, we don't know who cooked menu | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
A or B. So, menu B... Right, so, the chef going forward to represent | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
:06:48. | :06:57. | ||
Scotland in the Great British Menu is... Alan Murchison. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
is... Alan Murchison. Well done, mate. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Right it is that time of the show to answer some of your foodie | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
questions. First on the line is Denise from | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
Hampshire. Are you there? Yes, I am. What is your question for us? | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
wonder what you would like to do with squid and octopus, which I had | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
a lot of in Australia. Any ideas? Well, in China we like | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
to mix meat and seafood together. So you could put in a dish like | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
fried rice. So get pork, stir fried with garlic, ching ginger, chilli. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
For the fish, roast it first and cut it into pieces, then fry it in | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
the stir-fry some of the squid. That would be delicious. Then add | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
in the fish later and season it with light soy and dark soy and | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
five spice it will be really good. So a play on Chinese fried rice. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
What dish would you like to see at the end of the show, food heaven or | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
food hell? Food heaven, please. Rhona, what is your question? | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
have roast partridge to cook. Every time I cook it, I manage to ruin it. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
Any ideas, please? Are they whole? They are whole. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
So, very much like the grouse. Wrap it in bacon and cook it whole. The | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
same principle, but it would be smaller, so three minutes per | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
breast. Then one minute. Let it rest and partridge for me, I think | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
about pears, apples, but cabbage as well. Savoy cabbage cooked with | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
bakan, chestnut. And spring cabbage, it can be sauted off with butter, | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
but also walnuts with a sugar sir yom and cook them in the walnuts -- | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
syrup. Then they go candid. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
What dish for Jamie, food heaven or food hell? I'm afraid it is food | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
hell, please. Oh! Now, Paul, what is your | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
question? I have some trout. Well, the Chinese way of doing it is to | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
steam it. So get fresh root ginger and grate it over the trout. Keep | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
it whole, the head, cheeks, eyes, lips, the best part is on the head. | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Pit it on a wok with a steamer basket. Put the lid on, steam it | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
for about a good eight minutes. In a separate wok, get hot oil, garlic | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
and spring onions, heat it right up with sesame oil and take it out and | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
dress it at the table. So it is like a sizzling fish. | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
What dish at the end of the show? Food hell! Well, food hell it is | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
what you could be getting, Jamie. Now, a brand new omelette challenge. | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
Adam Byatt is sitting at the top. This is your moment to get into the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
top ten. She's been practising. I can't | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
believe it. You with putting me against a Michelin-starred chef! | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
The usual rules apply. Are you ready? Three, two, one, go! Do you | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
:10:51. | :10:54. | ||
want a Chinese one or a French one? A cooked one! Oh, no, there is | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
disaster already! He is catching you up! Actually, she is catching | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
:11:12. | :11:18. | ||
you up! On the plate! Great. Oh, dear! What d the English know | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
:11:28. | :11:30. | ||
about omelettes?! That was a good technique, that. | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
:11:40. | :11:41. | ||
I have a nice bit of shell. Did you hear that? Tom... You did it in | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
33.48. It still puts you in here. Third. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
However, by Christmas you will be down here. | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
Ching... You did it in 27.32. That puts you about there. So the second | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
quickest so far. So well done. Yeah! Right, will Jamie get his | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
idea of food heaven, the brown and white crab meat? Or food hell, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
chocolate and cherry gateau? We are to make our choices, while you | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
enjoy this slice of cooking from the Little Paris Kitchen chef, | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
the Little Paris Kitchen chef, Rachel Khoo. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Paris is heavenly for produce, but sometimes you have to look in the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
most surprising places. For the next dish, there is one | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
ingredient I just can't do without. On top of the Grand Palais, is | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
Paris' most unusual honey farm. I am so excited about going up on | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
the roof. OK, let's go in my office. | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
Nicholas has been keeping bees up here for four years. | :13:06. | :13:15. | |
Merci. Wow! The Grand Palais was originally built over 100 years ago. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Because of its central location, the honey has a distinctive taste. | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
It is a cool office, you have. There are about 400 parts to this | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
honey, this make it is different to anything you can find across the | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
cap.tal. Be careful... Follow me. | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
I have lived here for six years, but I've never seen Paris like this | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
before. Due to the time of year, the bees | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
are safe and sound in their hives. They are just here. | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Now it is winter. The bees don't go out as it is too cold. We can't | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
open now, if I open it will kill the bees. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
Nicholas tells me that the bees produce more honey in Paris because | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
of the great variety of flora, and because of the Banff pesticides in | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the city. I really love the idea of keeping | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
bees in the city it is beautiful to be up here, but I really want to | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
try some of your honey. I have honey from here in Paris and | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
another honey, for example it it is an orange honey, a good honey, but | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
a different taste. First sup the orange honey that | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:49. | ||
comes from the countryside... That one, already it is like wow! It is | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:06. | ||
overpowering in your mouth. Bold. It's very subtle. It's not as hard | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
as this one. Some honey is very overpowering. This is very light. | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
City honey sells for three times the price of regular honey. I have | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
this really yummy Madeleine recipe where I need to use some honey and | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
I think yours will be perfect. Do you think I could have that jar. | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
course. It's for you. Thank you. Merci. The honey will come in handy | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
for my next sweet treat. This recipe is a real part of Parisian | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
culture, an afternoon smack for the children and a blissful childhood | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
memory for the grown ups. If you really want time press your friends | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
with a Parisian teatime treat, then I've got the recipe for you. My mto | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
is butter makes everything better. -- motto. Let 200 grams melt slowly, | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
then onto the sweet stuff. Plain caster sugar 130 grams. Three eggs. | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
Let's do some whisking, some hard core whisking. We're going to get a | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
workout here. Whisk it until it's pail and frothy. This is a great | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
workout to combat bingo wings. We're there. The butter has melted. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
It's hot! When your fingers have cooled, mix the dry ingredients. | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
200 grams of plain flour, baking powder, I'm going to zest my lemon. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
You're just going for the top layer. It smells really good. We've got | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
the honey from the beekeeper. Then I need 60ml of milk. And it's not | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
semi-skimmed or skimmed, this is full fat. Just whisk it in. OK. I'm | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
going to add the flour. While training, they taught me a special | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
technique when stirring. At school you have to move with the bowl. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Don't worry if you spot little lumps in there. It's more likely to | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
be little bits of lemon zest. OK. Then we're going to cover it aund | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
:17:38. | :17:39. | ||
put it in the fridge. That's if there's any room, of course! Will | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:52. | ||
it close? It does. Woo-hoo. Traditional madeleines are always | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
baked in shell-shaped moulds. If you don't have one, then you can | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
use a mini muffin tin. I am going to use a piping bag. I'm going to | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
grap my cocktail shaker from up here. The great thing about that is | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
you've got two hands to help put your doe in. We're looking to kind | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
of filling it just a little bit below the shell shape. You're not | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
:18:32. | :18:35. | ||
filling it right to the brim. Raspberries go in the middle. The | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
French sometimes dip these in chocolate, but I think the | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
raspberry and lemon version adds a modern twist. The hollow bit is | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
facing up because we're going to pipe lemon curd in there. We're | :18:47. | :18:57. | |
:18:57. | :18:59. | ||
going to put these in the oven. Let's look at our madeleines, are | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
they done? Lovely golden round the edges. Still a little pale in the | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
middle. I'm going to pipe a little bit of lemon curd into the middle. | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
So you take your Madeleine, then you pipe it where the hole is. You | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
want to pipe the lemon curd into your madeleines while still warm. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
That will help the curd melt through the sponge and make the | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
:19:39. | :19:51. | ||
It's that time of the show to find out whether Jamie is facing food | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
heaven or hell. This was 2-1 to hell. It's lovely grab here, which | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
could be served with plaice, mixture of white and dash grab meat, | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
sauce, trying to big it up. Then the food hell, a chocolate cake, | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
classic French way of doing it Genoise with nice icing. Luckily | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
these guys went for heaven. Brought it back from the brink. | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
There you go. They knew if they didn't pick grab | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
They knew if they didn't pick grab they wouldn't get an invite back. | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
I'm going to pass this over to Tom. You can give him a hand. Preparing | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
the brown crab, you can do that. Ching can then dice up my shallots. | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
I only have a small knife. This is a male European brown crab. This is | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
a big, bad boy crab. The male's have the big claws right. He knows | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
his stuff. He doesn't know how to open it. Two hands there. I was | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
hoping you would do that. Twist and there we go. I will serve this, the | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
idea is going to be done with served with a pan fried bit of | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
plaice and a sauce Grenoble, which is a bit of boiled egg, which is | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
mixed together with some chopped capers, you could use gherkins, but | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
fresh heshes as well. It's done, I'm putting mayonnaise to combine | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
it all together. It's just a simple little dish. I think you need my | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
cleaver. I need Ching's axe. need a separate room more than | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
anything else. Right a little bit here then we take capers which can | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
be diced up. How are we doing? size? Doesn't need to be too fine | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
because I will drain them off afterwards. That's fantastic. | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
Shallots, three, four slivers of garlic, that would be great. Finely | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
chopped No just a few slivers. Then this is our sauce. Sauce is usual, | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
we're using the brown crab meat for this. But you just sweat off the | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
shallots in a tiny bit of garlic fish. -- first. It's not as strong | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
as the Chinese style of way. We're going to cook this slightly then | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
I'm going to add the brown crab to it and finish it with mayonnaise. | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
Yum, due make this mayonnaise? This is just home-made mayonnaise, | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
yes. We will cook this samphire, which is sea asparagus, which is | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
salty. You need butter for that. A little bit of water. I'll get the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
pan on and we can, how are we doing with the crab? Lovely. Sauce | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
Grenoble, you have the crab, using the white meat here. Can you cook | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
the plaice. OK. That would be great. There's a bit of shell in here. | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
that's Jamie. To cook the samphire, all you do is don't blanch this, | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
just pop it in as it is. This is just butter and water, the same as | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
if I would cook cabbage. In there we have our sauce. Now we can add | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
our brown. In here we have the white wine, shallots and we take | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
the brown crab meat and mix that together. This is the key to this. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
Take this brown crab meat and leave that to one side. I will finish | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
that off the heat with mayonnaise. A bit of flour? Yes, pan fried that | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
would be nice. Then I'm going to take herbs for our sauce, parsley, | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
chives and chervil. That particularly goes well with fish. | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
You can grow this in your garden. Try that. It's like an seed, sort | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
of. It's a great herb. I don't know why they don't produce this on a | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
much larger scale. There must be some reason why they don't produce | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
it in volumes like parsley and that kind of stuff, because it is | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:22. | ||
fantastic. Right. It's got a bit of tarragony... Yes it's an seedy. -- | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
aniseedy. This is ready. That's done. Meanwhile our sauce, we can | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
finish this off. You don't really want to heat this up any more. Turn | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
that down a bit. Then we can throw in the mayonnaise. This is just | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
home-made mayonnaise in a sauce. Do you this off the heat, mix this | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
together. When you've got it all combined, pass the whole thing | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
through a sieve. This gets passed through. All we have in there is | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
the brown crab, the shallots, the white wine and the mayonnaise. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
looks so good, rich and creamy. That will be on my lunch menu next. | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
Wow. Take that off the heat, season it, with salt and pepper. That's | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
your sauce done. We don't need to cook that any more. That's that one | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
done. That's your samphire done. We'll keep a bit of the chervil | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
over here. That lot can go. We will finish off our Grenoble here with | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
some herbs. She's taking the butter away James. Sorry. Can't do that in | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
my kitchen! I think you've got plenty there, haven't you? Not | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
enough? No, not really. Bit of that and she's taken the | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
mayonnaise away. She's good at clearing up. The fish just got | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
colour in, you have a couple of minutes left on that. OK. Mix this | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
all together. This has capers, you can put gherkins as well, a bit of | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
brown butter if you want to. could eat that on toast by itself. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
You can do. We're going to serve this, it's lovely, put that in a | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
mould. Nice. Samphire really simple, cook it like that. Don't mess | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
around with it too much. Serve it nice and plain. That's how you | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
would do it, wouldn't you? Definitely. A bit of butter in here | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
chef? Of course! That's how you finish it off. Then grab a plate. | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
I'll show you... That's a lot of butter! It's James Martin's show. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
We've got crab here, but has MasterChef changed the way you look | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
at restaurant food now? instance, like you've chosen the | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
plaice but is that OK, is that like fish -- fished heavily. It's line | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
caught. I know dab and flounder, flat fish... It's a sustainable | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
fish so it's great to use and economical as well. So it's great. | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
