[0:00] guys this is a dish that's going to blow your  mind it's going to be a family classic it's like   [0:04] a keeper you'll need re range Cumberland sausages  tagl Telly flat leaf parsley free range eggs and   [0:13] freshly grated Parmesan we're going to do sausage  meatball carbonara it's a joy it's one of the most   [0:21] exciting delicious things and it's so quick it's  painful it takes literally the time it takes to   [0:27] cook the pasta so our timer will be the pasta it  takes 12 minutes to cook in fast boiling water   [0:35] season it with salt very important and then we're  going to whack in 150 g which is that much let's   [0:42] talk about sausage British Cumberland sausage  we're going to take three of them big old fat   [0:47] beautiful boys look at those and then pinch out  roughly six little balls uh from each sausage give   [0:54] or take if it's five it don't matter I might get  a bit excited cuz I am genuinely excited to cook   [0:59] this making quality sausages into meatballs is a  clever little shortcut because the sausage meat   [1:04] is already packed with flavor and rare into go a  nice little optional extra is to crack your pepper   [1:09] to order right it's much more delicious of course  you can use preg ground stuff but let me help you   [1:14] make it the best that it can be right put your  hand over a pestel of mortar bash the life out   [1:19] of it crack it all Smash It All grind it Pummel it  muddle it right there's perfume that comes out of   [1:27] this which is incredible and actually when you  have a really good carbonara in Rome the black   [1:33] pepper is essential to the success of this dish  essential right so we're going to just get my   [1:39] balls and we're letting that cook and I don't  know why I'm dancing like this but I'm looking   [1:43] somewhere for ah okay so we've now got our little  black pepper um I want to come here I want to   [1:52] pour the black pepper over here like this and I'm  going to put it onto a board like that this smells   [1:58] completely different to regular pregrated black  pepper if you look in here that looks like what   [2:04] you buy right and that's more of the black outer  husk this is more of the white pepper and then   [2:10] what we can do is just put our balls over the  black pepper beautiful right do you think that   [2:15] makes a difference you should try it oh my Lord  this is going to have a heat and a perfume like   [2:20] you just can't believe and then just give them  a little rub around it's going to be amazing it   [2:25] won't be so hot that you can't handle it no no no  no no it's going to be elegant it's going to have   [2:30] kind of savoriness that's just phenomenal  right pan little bit of oil don't need [Music] [2:41] much coating the meatballs in black pepper is  a game Cher that adds extra flavor fast so the   [2:52] art of the perfect carbonara in my opinion is  the emulsification of the starchy cooking water   [2:58] the fats that have rended out of your meat  and egg as you know eggs cook at a very low   [3:02] temperature and I'm just going to take a small  bunch of parsley and stalks are all by the way   [3:09] the stalks everyone throws them away they're  so sweet and delicious just roughly chop it and   [3:14] then into our egg and then we're going to go 30  G of Parmesan around about that much whip the p   [3:30] parmesan and egg together  simple as that back to my [3:34] balls so now the pasta's done one of the biggest  problems in pasta is people put it in a collander   [3:46] and that's a problem because all the water goes  away and actually there's value in that water so   [3:50] I'm just going to show you a different technique  turn the heat off heat comes off drag the pasta   [3:56] and some water very important immediately that  water is breaking the frying we're no longer   [4:03] frying anymore we're off the heat no more heat  then what we can do is just put a little bit   [4:08] of water in the eggs and in we go now the eggs  cook at such a low temperature the last thing   [4:16] we want to do is have scrambled eggs absolutely  we do not want that so we're going to move this   [4:22] around and see it's got thick bit more water so  even a bit more water see how much water we're   [4:26] putting in and now look look look it's changing  look at that yes yes that's a carbonara right   [4:37] and it's as much about Flavor as it is texture  and for texture to be gorgeous it must be loose   [4:43] and elegant like a lovely little silk scarf  so couple of little plates and we are good to [4:48] go get yourself some [Music] [4:55] pasta oh look at these lovely meatballs they're so [5:02] good long stroke of Parmesan just to finish  off the story and if I'm getting my way just   [5:11] another little Shake of the pepper first of  all let's just go in for a straightforward [5:19] meatball so good the hum of black pepper  is just elegant right it's elegant it's   [5:30] helped by the egg and the parmesan this is an  absolute Family Classic and if you can take in   [5:37] some of those little tips they'll stay with you  for life delicious sausage carbonara brilliantly   [5:45] easy blow your mind food made in minutes next  up my papa Al Pomodoro a deliciously simple   [5:54] rustic soup that elevates Humble Store cupboard  ingredients to the next level it's a soup but but   [5:59] probably not as some of us know it it's a thick  Tuscan Bread soup using tin plum tomatoes garlic   [6:08] fresh Basel stale jabata and parmesan cheese for  grating to savor and enjoy a hot steaming bowl of   [6:17] Papa Pomodoro it's a joyous thing so let's make  it it is the kind of ultimate quick and easy the   [6:24] beginning of the flavor is with olive oil going  in a pan tablespoon goes in we put it on a medium   [6:29] heat and then nice fat juicy cloves of garlic  so four of those peel the garlic cloves and then   [6:38] finally slice the garlic we'll slowly bring it to  a gentle fry slicing them is important because if   [6:45] you chop them or if you crush them it wouldn't  be the same I'm going to go to Basil you want   [6:53] a bunch a Basel or eight nice sprigs and I love  that process of like picking the delicate little   [6:59] leaves for sprinkling and then the stalks finally  slic those they're absolutely full of flavor into   [7:07] the pan it goes I don't want color on this  garlic I want it to be gentle and Mild I'm   [7:15] then going to tear in the basil and you normally  only put basil into a sauce when it's finished   [7:23] b in a funny sort of way we've started it but  it's nearly finished I'm going to use two tins   [7:30] of really good tomatoes it's worth  paying you know a little bit extra   [7:35] for organic tomatoes because this  dish is so cheap so why not trade [7:40] up so the tin tomato go in and you got lovely  big plum tomatoes and then I'm going to fill up   [7:52] the tins with water here to get all that lovely  flavor out but also we want going to loosen this   [8:00] tomato sauce so that we're making a nice base  for the bread which is going to absorb it all   [8:08] I'll turn the heat up now and use a little Masher  to just gently Crush these tomatoes and papa means   [8:16] crushed mashed Papa Pomodoro to Italians is it's  kind of like one of the first foods you give a   [8:22] child that you're kind of weaning you know  but then teenagers and adults love it just   [8:27] as much and I guess it's kind of like nostalgic  as this comes to a boil let's get onto the next   [8:32] stage we're taking our jabata out and tear the  bread into it and stale bread even better you   [8:40] can make this with fresh bread but it's never the  same it is kind of nice it's it's more creamy but   [8:45] when you use dry bread it's more Savory it's more  fulfilling and the flavors feel just a bit bigger   [8:53] this is really clean wholesome healthy delicious  food stir that in and then let the movement of the   [9:02] blip blip blip sort it out just turn it right down  5 minutes and then I'll show you how to serve it [9:09] up season that with a little  sea salt a little black [Music] [9:21] pepper completely transformed if you want to  Nick a few more B leaves you can just tear a   [9:31] few more through and then last but not least 30 40  G of Parmesan the parmesan just helps CR up this   [9:40] soup gives it a nice seasoning then we're going  to take this bowl and we're going to fill it up   [9:46] look at the consistency it's absolutely joyful  there we go a simple glorious soup finish your   [9:57] papa Al Pomodoro with a few final Basel leaves  and a drizzle of cold pressed extra virgin olive   [10:03] oil this is really what makes this soup gives it  that shine and that flavor beautiful let's try [10:10] it if you make it with great bread and great oil  and great tomatoes it becomes like a stodgy bowl   [10:23] of luxury something really amazing and beautiful  and artisan H that is my happy place Comfort   [10:34] Heaven the ultimate quick and easy comforting  dish using Humble Store cupboard ingredients   [10:40] elevated into a Heavenly hearty soup now for my  comforting sausage bake minimum effort maximum   [10:49] flavor gorgeous grub for those you love this is  a really tasty dish but I'm going to warn you   [10:55] right it's probably the most unshy thing I've  ever done it's quite frumpy it's quite ugly um   [10:59] but the combination's genius and when it comes  out of the oven 50 minutes later it's delicious   [11:06] with ripe cherry tomatoes garlic rosemary fatcha  white beans and free range pork chipolatas this   [11:15] is something it's just comfort food at its best  It's a combination that's so good um it's a bit   [11:20] like kind of when you have a day in wearing your  gym jams or that kind of frumpy old jumper that   [11:24] really shouldn't see the street or your friends  I've got 600 gr of be full cherry tomatoes here   [11:30] what I'll do is I'll half the regular cherry  tomatoes like this it's kind of you know a   [11:36] bit like a savy bread and butter pudding it's  got that feeling that makes you always want to   [11:43] go back for another bit it's delicious so the  second ingredient is the bread I'm using ficara   [11:49] here I really like this bread in this dish just  tear it up but of course you could use any stale   [11:53] bread just get it in there 200 Gr so that's a  rosemary for Carta and then we're going to going   [11:59] to go for four cloves of garlic so just peel those  cloves and then I'm going to finally slice these   [12:08] so garlic goes in and then the fourth ingredient  beans now tin beans are brilliant really brilliant   [12:16] but if you look in good supermarkets and delies  you'll find that there's a whole range of beans   [12:21] in jars and generally speaking the jar beans have  more love more care more attention they're just   [12:27] in a little vegetarian stock and they just taste  amazing and just take the juice and all everything   [12:33] goes in I'm going to dress this now almost kind of  like a salad so I'm going to season it generously   [12:39] uh with pepper we're going to go in with a swig  about a tablespoon of red wine vinegar some extra   [12:45] virgin olive oil tablespoon and then we're going  to give it a nice little toss up and the studge   [12:54] of the bread and the beans is just going to  come kind of exaggerate now so that's kind   [13:03] of the heart of the dish done seasoned up and  lovely so last ingredient a good loyal friend   [13:12] chipal ladas so I've got 12 quality chipas here  I want to just pinch them in the middle twist   [13:22] pinch the middle twist I literally only do this  just for portion controlling and just to kind of   [13:26] make more of the sausage really and they're all  going to sit on the top top so I'm just going   [13:30] to push those chipil in let's do one more here  most of the sausages will be golden and crisp   [13:38] but some of it will be kind of blond and soft  and it's just going to be utter comfort food   [13:44] the sides will kind of just cook away a little  bit and go crispy and gnarly and in the oven it   [13:48] goes 180° C which is 350 fhe for 45 minutes or  thereabouts until golden and delicious looking [14:01] oh the smell is amazing look at that sizzling  flipping away everything just cooked into each   [14:08] other so beautiful you know that is exactly  the kind of thing that I love to do quick easy   [14:14] things that you know people are going to love  some of the sausage here is golden and then if   [14:18] you turn it around some of it's kind of like  soft and gentle delicious flavor going into [14:24] everything I just say Enjoy the simplest   [14:29] got four big old portions there let's  have a little taste [Music] up [Music] [14:40] delicious the beans are like literally the  best baked beans ever so good so tasty it's   [14:50] amazing so easy to put together but the oven  does all the hard work I think in a way you   [14:54] take just a small amount of sausages a long  way you get a big bang for your buck but it   [14:58] is is comfort food at its best it's not glamorous  but it's like the best company ever comfort food   [15:06] studge gorgeousness what's not to love that on  a slightly chilly day or frankly any day is all [15:15] good a phenomenally fast No Frills Feast for the  people you love best my sticky lamb chops a speedy   [15:27] one pan Wonder loaded with FL flavor and ready  in minutes when you need foolproof food fast it's   [15:32] an amazing amazing combination using succulent  lamb chops baby carrots garlic oranges and fresh   [15:42] thyme so we're going to cook the most beautiful  beautiful lamb chops this is a real treat this   [15:48] is a dinner uh something that you can share with  someone you love so look at these beautiful French   [15:53] trimmed lamb chops they're gorgeous but if you  get them untrimmed that's absolutely fine what   [15:58] I want to do is take a little bit of time just  to score the fat this clever hack will help to   [16:04] quickly render down the fat so you can cook the  lamb without the need for extra oil this is going   [16:10] to look beautiful and it's going to go really  crispy which is going to be joyful to eat so we're   [16:15] going to season up these little bad boys lovely  sea salt the board and the meat plenty of black   [16:23] pepper rub it into the skin all those little Cuts  get all that seasoning in there right then we're   [16:28] going to put put the lamb almost back together  again right as a little rack of fat so we're   [16:34] going to put this in here like that so what I'm  going to do is put real emphasis on the skin now   [16:40] it's going to render all that away but see this  meat here this is the sweet meat and that benefits   [16:45] from being a little bit overcooked so we're going  to have incredible juicy ey meat really gnarly   [16:51] meat around the side and crispy crispy skin it's  going to be beautiful okay next bit baby carrots   [16:58] now now of course you can use regular orange baby  carrots but if you look down good supermarkets or   [17:03] really good farmers markets the colors are so  beautiful and for me if you see it just buy it   [17:09] with the carrots just take the end off like this  just about a centimeter from the top so about   [17:13] 200 g carrots here to cut down the cooking time  chop any chunky ones in half now back to the pan   [17:21] right see the fat that's come out here this is  great we have a little sneak peek right you can   [17:27] see that we're not cooking the actual meat but  we're starting to render that fat we go in with   [17:32] the carrots this is what I really love about this  recipe one pan we've got our carrots benefiting   [17:39] from everything that's cooking and rendering out  of the lamb now for the third ingredient garlic   [17:44] best friends with lamb and carrots actually  so get a bulb you want about eight cloves and   [17:50] then really importantly we're going to cook  the garlic in the skin the skin is the most   [17:54] incredible protective layer so what you want to  do is not Smash It To Pieces but a light little [18:00] slap it's really subtle little things but that  light little crack releases enough of the garlic   [18:08] flavor to flavor the whole dish but keep the  garlic protected inside so you can devour it   [18:14] as a caramelized little sweetties absolutely  delicious and then I've got some orange half   [18:20] two oranges and then Nick the zest off of one  orange avoid this bitter pop and you just have   [18:28] this Inc incredible orange Po and when that  hits the fat of the Lamb it kind of curls   [18:33] up and kind of goes chewy and just sweet and  perfumed and delicious three halves one zest   [18:40] it's all looking good now in the pan here these  carrots are kind of pretty much cooked you can   [18:45] see they're catching and blistering the Lamb  by the way is still largely raw but the skin   [18:53] is crispy this is such a cool way to cook lamb to  finish just turn the chops on the sides and sear   [19:00] at this stage in the game I'm going to go in with  the orange zest okay and as soon as that hits the   [19:07] fat then we got another little story look at the  colors it's kind of like autumn in a pan and what   [19:13] I love about it is it's all focused on cooking the  most perfect and precisely gorgeous lamb chop and   [19:19] then the last ingredient is time and whenever  time goes in it's like fireworks cuz it goes   [19:25] nuts it starts spitting and popping in a really  beautiful way so so in it goes and have a little [19:29] [Music] listen chops done it's so quick and  easy just one more ingredient and we're there   [19:45] we're going to go orange juice and in a matter of  seconds we're going to reduce down the juice from   [19:56] these three oranges into the most fantastic  plastic glaze this whole thing about five   [20:02] ingredients is a real lesson on less is more and  also focus on technique so just thinking back over   [20:08] this recipe skin for 5 minutes until it's really  really crispy then just 2 minutes on each side   [20:14] and then like the moment when I put the juice  in cook it down and it's gone from boiling to   [20:19] now frying again you see how glazed that is that's  going to be outrageous to eat what a treat gnarly   [20:28] sticky sweet lamb chops in no time at [Music] all  serve that in the middle of the table Yeah you can   [20:36] pair it up with a carb of your choice maybe some  steamed greens but that is an incredible way to   [20:41] cook lamb [Music] chops oh my God it's really  really good the carrots they haven't even been   [20:52] parboiled and they're totally soft and actually  they're more intense in flavor they haven't lost   [20:56] any flavor in the water it's all happened in the  pan and then the garlic out comes this beautiful   [21:02] little sweetie that's mild sweet a little charred  on one side it's a little soft on the other   [21:10] absolutely gorgeous it's proper get in there get  stuck in mop it all up that's an absolute winner   [21:19] luxurious lamb chops loaded with flavor the  perfect sharing treat crazy delicious but so   [21:26] quick and easy next my sweet chicken surprise an  inspired one pan Wonder with a great hack for a   [21:34] stunning sauce we're going to cook this so the  skin is really crispy and the meat is melting   [21:39] your mouth but we're going to flavor it in the  most beautiful way using fresh freerange chicken   [21:45] legs seedless grapes garlic red vermouth and fresh  taragan so first of all I just want to prep this   [21:56] up nice and simply a little bit of olive oil over  the chicken and we're going to season with sea   [22:01] salt and some pepper we're going to put a pan on a  medium high heat and we just move this around Pat   [22:09] the oil on the skin I want tender juicy meat that  just Falls away from the bone and lovely Golden   [22:16] Crisp Skin So once you've seasoned it up place  it skinside down into this pan that's starting   [22:22] to get nice and hot let's have a little wash of  the hands so we want to get some color onto that   [22:29] chicken give it a little bit of attitude but I'm  going to bring some flavors together that maybe   [22:33] you've never had with it but I promise you that  I assure you are amazing really really good so   [22:40] we're going to use some grapes now if you go to  the supermarkets they do those little mixed boxes   [22:45] red ones green ones when these cook with a chicken  the flavors that happen are remarkable absolutely   [22:51] delicious some people can be a bit funny about  sweet and savory but then again you know all   [22:55] of the things that we really love are sort of a  little bit sweet and sour whether it's ketchups   [22:59] whether it's sweet and sour dishes whether it's  having applesauce with roast pork right this kind   [23:04] of fruit this acidity and sort of lovely crispy  skin right and moish meat this is a absolutely   [23:10] fantastic match so look we got some color  happening on the chicken and then I'm going to go   [23:15] in with a garlic now get yourself a nice bulb put  it here and give it a slap right just like that   [23:20] remove Cory part and then just get these garlic  cloves just give them a little crack just a tiny   [23:25] little crack is enough to perfume the fat flavors  the chicken but also the natural paper that's   [23:31] around the garlic cloves will protect it and in  the cooking process those garlic cloves are going   [23:38] to get so sweet and so caramelized it's going to  be amazing so what I want to do now is just pick   [23:44] myself a whole load of these grapes as I eat this  now yeah it tastes like a lovely grape but when it   [23:49] Cooks it just completely transforms the flavor and  it's going to work so well for this chicken Let It   [23:55] Rain grapes and now I want to break the frying  process by adding Something Beautiful Roso verou   [24:04] enhanced with spices herbs and flowers red ver  mou's instant depth of flavor is your shortcut   [24:10] to a stunning sauce and then we're going to put  it in the oven for about 40 minutes until golden   [24:16] and crisp and tender the fruit's going to be  amazing and I cook that at 180° C which is 350 F [24:28] you can see like the skin is getting  really crispy it's dancing and the [24:32] sauce this is what I love about this method  you get that lovely thin crispy skin you can   [24:41] feel the meat is tender and the grapes do the  most amazing thing where they kind of blister   [24:46] and mix with the verou which mixes with the  flavor coming out of the chicken and it's   [24:50] just a fantastic way of cooking it now I've got  one last ingredient to go and that's the little   [24:54] surprise Tagan it's a really beautiful fresh  fresh herb and what I want to do is just pick   [25:01] the nice delicate leaves here and put to one  side and then just strip these bigger leaves   [25:06] off like that and it's got the most fantastic  an AI flavor it's going to work so well with a   [25:10] chicken cuz it's light and it's fresh but also  it's going to work really well with the verou   [25:15] and then I just want to add this Tagan now to the  juice here and it's just going to wilt in let's   [25:22] take our chicken look how lovely and golden  that is and then here with the taragan just   [25:28] mix it and then I'm just going to place these  gorgeous ingredients around the chicken and   [25:33] then just put a few of those fresh pieces on  top and there you got a fantastic way to serve [25:38] chicken so let's get in there the  meat is beautifully cooked bit of   [25:47] grape action bit of sauce  action and a bit of mouth [25:50] action the taragan just links it all together  and the vermouth reduces down so nicely and   [25:59] don't forget the garlic we put a load of garlic  in there and it's been protected by the skin and   [26:04] when you squeeze that out you've got these little  kind of Pearls of caramelized garlic which are so   [26:09] good I mean the amount of flavor in this dish for  five ingredients is phenomenal It's a Wonderful   [26:15] principle that is classy and has deep flavors and  textures once you've dried it you won't look back   [26:23] crispy skin succulent meat and a sweet Rich sauce  inspired ingred inred s combined into a classy   [26:30] chicken dinner time for my ridiculously easy  chicken pot pie an ultimate comfort food classic   [26:37] that would normally take hours to make I don't  know what it is about a pie I always just love   [26:43] a pie using free range chicken thighs mushrooms  onions fresh thyme and all butter puff pastry now   [26:52] come and have a look at this this is really quick  and easy I'm using chicken thighs about 600 grams   [26:58] and got two pans on got a large pan medium pan  going to whack them on a nice medium high heat   [27:03] I'm going to use two onions and we want to create  a lot of flavor with just five ingredients so we   [27:09] really got to focus on caramelizing the onions  chop your onions and cook them down to give your   [27:14] pie a sticky sweet base so we go into a pan  full heat with a little olive oil there about   [27:21] a tablespoon and we want the sweetness to really  come out of these onions and a little season at   [27:27] the beginning get those flavors really working  so it's always a good time to let out all your   [27:34] emotions when you're cutting onions bless they're  strong ones so look chicken thighs boneless skin   [27:44] off I've got six thighs here guys and I'm just  going to cut four of them into big chunks and   [27:52] then the last two much finer so we're going to  get a different kind of texture kind of like   [27:59] coarse mints cutting the chicken two ways creates  texture and makes the pie super luxurious so we've   [28:08] already got a nice little bit of color happening  on the onions take the pan to the chicken simply   [28:12] saute your chicken and onions for 6 minutes for  this crazy quick pie the pan goes straight into   [28:18] the oven to double up as a pie dish while that's  happening let's talk about mushrooms because I   [28:24] absolutely love mushrooms if you look around the  supermarket market now they have these little   [28:29] mixed packs of field and wild mushrooms right just  very simply cut those in half and there's no rules   [28:37] to this at all there's something that I love to do  to put an extra bit of flavor into this now when   [28:43] you dry grill or dry fry in a pan with nothing  it brings out this incredible nutty flavor and   [28:48] I want to show you how to do it it's it couldn't  be simpler you just take a mushroom and you just   [28:53] place it straight in there like that I'm just  going to kind of scool them and kind of char them   [28:58] and it's a completely different flavor from the  mushroom it's really nice look look look it's   [29:02] almost like kind of semi dried mushrooms and of  course dried mushrooms are kind of like they've   [29:09] got that kind of beef stock kind of savory flavor  so as soon as they're charred we're going to drop   [29:14] them into here charring your mushrooms like this  is such a quick way to inject your pie with bucket   [29:20] loads of flavor and then we just put the others in  okay so the herbal Choice I'm going to use thyme   [29:25] absolutely delicious with chicken and mushrooms  so I'm going to take a

mushrooms are good to go delicious now I   [29:46] just want about 150 M of water and a little  dribble of red wine vinegar now for the next   [29:55] ridiculously useful Time Saver shop bought Puff  pastry so a nice little tip to roll it out is just   [30:01] use a little grease proof paper it doesn't stick  and it's really really easy I want to just roll it   [30:07] out for the size of that frying pan round about  half a centimet thick don't worry if it's not   [30:12] perfectly round it doesn't matter because you're  going to absolutely tuck it right in there and   [30:17] it's going to be beautiful so we're going to take  our pastry we're going to lay this straight on top   [30:22] tuck it around the edges just like that and then  get that last little bit of thme and just use this   [30:28] this to brush a little oil around the pastry and  can you see how the steam is coming through this   [30:34] pastry just take this time and then I'm going to  put it right in the middle and that will relieve   [30:40] some of the steam then that's going in an oven  at 220° C which is 425 F whack it in the bottom   [30:49] of the oven close the door 15 minutes it will  be done really

serve four people beautifully uh and it's  going to cook in the mash together so it's going   [32:44] to be really really beautiful let's get a pan on  a high heat I'm going to season that pork with a   [32:50] little bit of sea salt and pepper lots of black  pepper and have a nice little roll up and get   [32:55] that seasoning all over it into the pan with olive  oil to speedily sear each side that's what we want   [33:03] that's what we like it cooks really consistently  just keep moving it around look at that color guys   [33:12] after just 3 minutes take out your pork and jack  up the flavor with fried fresh Sage leaves if you   [33:18] just put Sage on stuff it will just go like tea  it'll go dry it will do nothing but the minute   [33:24] that the sage gets kissed by the oil

fine or as smooth as you like  season add a glug of olive oil and Grate up 20   [33:46] G of cheddar cheese and you can just add a little  water just to adjust the texture and look just by   [33:53] adding it you almost can beat it a bit more and it  becomes a lot softer so mix that up and you make   [34:02] the most fantastic rustic mash the great thing  about the pork fil is really lean but it's really   [34:09] delicious and it's very tender and it's very very  easy to cook so it's a great cut of meat it really   [34:15] is take some of that juice and pour that right  over and that will

fat melting and  going crispy then going into the mash it's like   [36:08] everything's flavoring each other amazing my  pork and mash Grattan a real belter of a dish   [36:15] big- hitting family food that you can knock up  in a hurry my tender lamb shoulder a phenomenal   [36:20] Feast to share with your family or [Music] friends  this is a classic quick and easy recipe where wey   [36:27] it all together and then let the oven do all  the hard work using quality lamb shoulder dried   [36:33] chickpeas plum tomatoes preserved lemons and  Moroccan spice mix Ras elhan there's nothing   [36:42] more delicious than a tender slow roasted shoulder  of lamb is a quick prep slow cooked dish we're   [36:48] talking the most Sumptuous gorgeous melt-in your  mouth lamb it will feed about 6 to 10 people it's   [36:53] literally the simplest most untechnical recipe  that you could ever imagine that overd delivers   [36:59] on flavor and enjoyment and feasting and sharing  and it's just one that you're going to keep in   [37:05] your repertoire so look it starts with chickpeas  you know and in Britain we're kind of naughty we   [37:10] don't really eat enough beans and chickpeas and  often one of the kind of barriers to that is   [37:15] soaking it overnight slow cooking then seasoning  we're going to break all of those barriers we're   [37:20] going to go straight in with 500 G of your  chickpeas no soaking no mucking about in and   [37:26] then we've got a kilo of beautiful plum tomatoes  right if you can't get good tomatoes cuz they're   [37:31] not in season tin tomatoes are absolutely  delicious just hack these up into erratic   [37:37] chunks so it takes no time and no technique to do  this we've got those two ingredients going we've   [37:45] got our land waiting there our next ingredient  which you can get in good supermarkets delies   [37:50] and online is preserved lemons they're fantastic  they're an absolute classic of the Moroccan region   [37:57] almost like a kind of lemon squash flavor really  amazing two of these and a bit of the pickling   [38:02] liquor are phenomenal you kind of cut them open  they're often quite seedy but they give a flavor   [38:09] that's so gorgeous and this makes the dish work  it's like a little secret wonderful ingredient   [38:15] it's going to punch well above its weight little  bit like me Mary and my wife okay so in with the   [38:23] lemon right and also what I love about this is  I don't know which bit is the most delicious the   [38:27] skin the pith or the juice couple of tablespoons  of the juice okay the next ingredient that's going   [38:36] to work really really hard is a spice combination  that's truly amazing and I've looked at a whole   [38:42] bunch of different supermarkets and they all  seem to have it it's called Ras EL hanut two   [38:46] Heap teaspoons is what we want but if you look in  it can you see all the chunks the powder there's   [38:51] little leaves of rose petal in there right this  can have up to sort of 20 different layers of   [38:57] Spice in there so it's kind of like an Indian  garam masala it's a blend what you get for your   [39:03] two teaspoons is a whole range of spices that you  probably wouldn't have in your home just add a   [39:09] little oil to the lamb shoulder and a little pinch  of salt and our spice combination and we're going   [39:17] to have a little rub up this Moroccan spice blend  is a really clever way to turbo boost the flavor   [39:25] of your lamb what I love about this dish there's  no technique involved just the love of five great   [39:31] ingredients the shoulder of lamb it's a tough cut  of meat but slow cooking is going to melt all that   [39:36] toughness and the flavors that you can achieve  are phenomenal give your lamb a good old massage   [39:43] on the other side so it benefits from the Epic  spice mix so water 1 liter goes in here season   [39:51] with a pinch of pepper and a tiny drizzle of olive  oil and that's the prep done I then love to do a   [40:00] double wrapping of Tim foil just to really protect  it we're trying to create a little ecosystem right   [40:07] we want the the water to evaporate you know flavor  through the lamb and the tomatoes and all those   [40:12] flavored spices hit the roof and then kind of  rain back down again sort of clench the foil   [40:19] try and make it as tight as you can all tucked  up ready and raring to go so you can actually   [40:25] put it into a cold oven so it's a brilliant  dish to whack in just after breakfast that's   [40:30] when I normally do it and that goes in an oven  at 170° C which is 325 F I'm going to cook that   [40:38] for about 6 hours and in that time everything's  just going to cook together you know it's all [40:43] good put together in well under  10 minutes and the oven then does   [40:51] all the hard work my perfect  kind of cooking quick and easy [40:59] [Music] the house is full of gorgeous smells and  this my friends this is what you get look at that   [41:09] come on I mean that is just insanely good you  can see where the meat is kind of pulled away   [41:15] from the bones so tender the Tomato perfume is  just absolutely through everything and that's   [41:22] why that tin foil is so very important  if you were a really nervous cook do   [41:27] this the guarantee of flavor and tenderness and  textures and enjoyment are all here let's get in [41:34] there what's really amazing about those  preserved lemons is even though they've   [41:42] had 6 hours cooking the texture is still  there and that little bit of fragrance   [41:46] just Pops Pops it's just unbelievable and the  chickpeas are cooked in all of that they're   [41:52] like super chickpeas this is a proper  family dinner this is one for you to try [41:58] definitely quick to prep and outrageously tasty  this epic sharing Feast works really hard to make   [42:10] cooking for a crowd a breeze first up my mega  mustardy beef it's super simple but melt in the   [42:17] mouth tasty everyone's got to have a couple  of really good skews up their sleeve and I'm   [42:23] going to make melting mustardy beef it's one of my  favorites you'll need Shin of beef carrots onions   [42:31] wor sheer sauce and whole grain mustard five  ingredients working so hard to make a delicious   [42:38] delicious stew and the great thing about this  recipe is it's really quick to prep and slow   [42:44] to cook which means you're amplifying tenderness  and flavor so let's start at the beginning let's   [42:49] start with the meat I've got a cut of meat here  which I want to reconnect you with it's a shin of   [42:54] beef go to your butchers ask for nearly a kilo 9  G of beef shin and it normally comes with a bone   [43:00] in here like that ask him to remove it but make  sure you keep it this is full of Marone right so   [43:05] it's like the most amazing stock Cube that could  go into your food all natural so we've got the   [43:09] Marone there that can go into a pan now I've got  two pans a casserole pan that we're going to cook   [43:13] in and then a frying pan and I'll turn them up  onto a high heat the marabon can go in and just   [43:19] Brown off a little bit and then I want to slice  up the shin of beef into sort of 5 cm chunks just   [43:26] nice big Cuts really simple and go straight into  the pan for a bit of Browning by coloring the meat   [43:34] you're going to give the stew really beautiful  flavor lots of black pepper and a nice seasoning   [43:41] of salt happening as well okay so we got another  casserole pan here and this is where we're going   [43:46] to cook the whole thing so let's just go our  carrots first 500 G of carrots now of course   [43:51] the regular carrots are these little Beauties  but when you go down the farmers markets or in   [43:57] supermarkets now you'll notice there's heirloom  varieties these are kind of like the oldfashioned   [44:02] varieties if you see them please buy them because  if we don't buy them they'll stop selling them   [44:06] and I just love the array of different varieties  I'm just going to cut them at an angle into sort   [44:12] of 5 C chunks cuz they're going to have 4 hours  in the oven with the meat okay so you don't want   [44:17] to cut them small cuz they'll just dissolve into  nothing we want them to stand up to the cooking   [44:21] so just add a little oil to your casserole  pan and we'll go in with those incredible [44:27] carrots so shake those in and then next ingredient  up onions 500 G white onions red onions whatever   [44:37] you can get your hands on is all good I'm using  one of each and I want you to just peel it if you   [44:44] just half it and then just kind of bust them out  of their natural shape into these lovely little   [44:49] petals and they just cook so well in the stew like  that so let's put the onions in with the carrots [44:59] so we got these on high pizs so we're getting a  bit of color happening here let's have a little   [45:03] look at the meat beautiful color and there's no  oil in that pan just natural fat rendering out so   [45:10] I've turned all that meat we're nearly there the  last couple of ingredients a wsh sauce and mustard   [45:18] whole grain mustard what a combo it's going to  really bring all these flavors together so uh   [45:22] let's go in we're going to put it together now it  couldn't be any simpler in we go oh yes and the [45:30] bone so we're back into one pot cooking  now and then we're going to go in with   [45:38] 120 ml of Worster sheer sauce and then  in with a couple of nice teaspoons of   [45:45] whole grain mustard this is going to be a  joyful combination I'm going to top it up   [45:51] with just a little bit of boiling water  about 800 Ms but just to cover the bone   [45:58] and then lid on top the oven is at 160°  C which is 325 fit now let's just let the   [46:07] oven do all the [Music] work the Stew's had  about 4 hours let's get it out oh it smells [46:18] amazing look at that oh it's dark and moody right  come come on let's have a little look see what's   [46:28] going on beautiful and it just falls apart let's  have a little look at the bone marrow just try   [46:36] and pour it out look at that loads of flavor  right there you can see all the way through it   [46:42] now let's serve up a little [Music] bit what's  beautiful is the meat is chunky but you know   [46:54] the smallest amount of pressure and that's just  going to fall apart come on then let's get in [47:00] there m the beef Shin is so tender and sweet  thing I love about this dish is you can knock   [47:12] it together so quick and you let the oven do the  work let the magic happen the gravy is so so good   [47:21] absolutely Heavenly my melt in the mouth mustardy  beef simple comfort food that's loaded with flavor   [47:32] first my stupidly simple one pan Tika chicken the  fastest roast there is sometimes you just need a   [47:40] dish that's so quick to prep and then you just  bang it in the oven while you get on with other   [47:44] stuff and then fill the house up with the most  gorgeous gorgeous smells you'll need free range   [47:50] chicken Tika paste potatoes fresh coriander and  cauliflower it's very simple we're going to hack   [47:58] up the spuds to 3 cm chunks I'm going to leave  the skin on so they'll be really crispy on the   [48:04] outside and super fluffy on the inside literally  just hack them up throw them into a tray no par   [48:10] boiling no other pans required and it's kind  of funny isn't it that concept of simple you   [48:17] know is it coming in and sort of like pounding  out a dish in 20 minutes or is it just bang a   [48:22] few things together in minutes and let the oven do  the work and I think you know you need both right   [48:28] depending on what you want to cook but I love  this kind of thing on a Friday cuz I've always   [48:32] got stuff to do you know but you can have that  lovely hour hour and 20 minutes while you just   [48:37] get on with stuff so spuds are in this really is  quick and easy cooking in well under 10 minutes   [48:44] you can have a whole meal prepped and in the oven  then the collie colli is great and certainly when   [48:49] it's spiced uh with Indian spices so I'm just  going to take the fletes off just break them   [48:54] up into potato siiz pieces that's the bit we  normally use but we're also going to celebrate   [48:59] the leaves and the stalk so we're just going to  chop up similarish size to the potatoes get it   [49:04] in there and the stalk don't waste anything it's  all good so in we go next up coriander to ramp up   [49:14] the flavor use stalks and all slice all the way  up there until you run out of stalks like right   [49:20] now and you end up with these beautiful leaves  just put the leaves in a little bowl of cold   [49:26] water if you can put ice in there even better  but that will keep them really fresh until you   [49:31] sprinkle it over when this is finished beautiful  these go over here pretty much this is done now to   [49:39] finish the veg just season with olive oil red  wine vinegar salt and pepper so let's get our   [49:47] chicken like that and let's get our Tika paste  now this is not a sauce this is a paste okay and   [49:55] these Indian spice pastes are brilliant so you  know this has got about 11 ingredients in it and   [50:00] it's all done for you so two heaped tablespoons of  Tika paste but of course you could use any paste   [50:07] you like uh you can like mix it up if you got  a particular Curry like Rogan Josh or you know   [50:12] coma use that it's all good making your own curry  paste is a joy but if you're pushed for time the   [50:18] ready-made stuff delivers on Flavor fast then  hands chicken rub up massage in all the cracks   [50:27] and just the residual paste on your hand is enough  to kiss the spuds and the cauliflower it's that   [50:35] simple it is done let's have a hand wash I've got  my oven preheated 180 deg C or 350 F and here goes   [50:46] the magic little tip I'm going to put in the tray  underneath and then put the chicken directly over   [50:54] the top so it's going to rain spiced chicken juice  all over the potatoes and Collie it's going to be [51:01] amazing with this Nifty method  the chicken juices create an   [51:08] instant intense spicy sauce so you won't  need to bother making a timec consuming [51:14] gravy okay let's have a little look  it's so exciting okay just over an   [51:23] hour this is had and it's such a great  great technique come on let's pull it [51:29] out so here she is get a little scraper and  there'll be crispy bits and if you think   [51:41] about it all the kind of goodness that would  have gone into making a traditional gravy has   [51:46] now rained on your cauliflower and your  potatoes I've got the coriander that's in   [51:54] the cold water you know it's the Twist on  a classic roast chicken it's so beautiful   [52:00] just pull it off the bone and also notice  it's still full of juice see that juice [52:05] beautiful with this cracking roast you'll have  all of the flavor with none of the fuss let's   [52:16] get in there let's have a little tuck in the skin  is so crisp and delicious so good those spices   [52:27] really nice contrast and the potatoes and the  collie it's kind of the best bit it's absolutely   [52:33] delicious prepped in well under 10 minutes  cooked in one pan my time saving chicken tikas   [52:40] the fastest roast around we're going to make the  most amazing quick little dinner it's delicious   [52:48] I love this dish using hand dive scallops black  pudding frozen peas mint and perfect spuds for m   [52:57] seared scallops with Crispy black pudding  hear me out with Crispy mint and smashed   [53:03] peas and potato five ingredients working  really really hard first job get the mash   [53:10] on Cut 400 G of Maris Piper potatoes into 2 cm  chunks I'm not going to peel it so I'm saving   [53:16] time and also a lot of the nutrition is in  the skin so I gain nothing I gain nothing   [53:22] in this dish by sitting there peeling it right  cuz we're going to have peas in there as well   [53:26] lovely Vivid green gorgeous sweet pea potato mash  calm down Jamie it's just a dish we'll boil those   [53:34] for about 10 12 minutes they'll cook really quick  because you've cut them really small so scallops   [53:41] black pudding it's a beautiful combination  don't knock it until you've tried it have a   [53:48] look at these scallops they're beautiful they're  really amazing things while the mash Cooks you've   [53:54] got plenty of time to prep the other other four  ingredients let's talk about herbs mint love it   [54:00] one of my favorite herbs take the bigger leaves  and pick them off put them to one side and then   [54:04] you can take your smaller leaves these are going  to be fried and many people have never ever fried   [54:09] mint before and it is a joy the big leaves are  going to go in the mash okay so let's take a nice   [54:15] little chunk of the black pudding here all five  ingredients need to work really hard and black   [54:21] pudding is your fast track to flavor and texture  it Cooks up so crispy and amazing so that goes in   [54:28] the pan first and then what I'm going to do is  just prep my scallops a little bit I'm going to   [54:33] leave most of these hole but I do want to show  you a preparation with our little scallop if I   [54:38] just score this you know very carefully it's  very easy nothing cheffy at all halfway down   [54:44] like a little chest board that will open out like  a flow and it creates texture so we're going to   [54:52] just add a little tablespoon of olive oil season  the scallops with a little salt not too much   [54:58] remember they're from the sea then we're going to  go with the two scored ones first and you see what [55:05] happens scallops are brilliant when you're in a  hurry because they cook so quickly simply sear   [55:15] them for 2 minutes on each [Music] side and  we'll go in with the mint leaves and they're   [55:24] going to go really crispy and and they'll snap  in your mouth it's mint like you've never really   [55:28] seen it before and as you can see it's all going  at the same time this is really really exciting   [55:34] cooking crispy black pudding scallop searing we  got mint getting crispy we've got potatoes here   [55:39] they're nearly there they're like a minute  away so I'm going to put in some frozen peas   [55:43] and frozen peas are like the most incredible  Workhorse in any kitchen put 200 g of peas in   [55:49] with the spuds saving time and washing up peas  boiling with potatoes SC searing beautiful look   [56:01] at that and it's just caught beautifully and this  piece of black pudding here just bust it up break   [56:08] it up cuz I want it to be really crispy like  little sprinkles and if you don't like the idea   [56:14] of black pudding you put in some lovely smoked  bacon beautiful really really nice so I'm going   [56:20] to grab this mint that I picked slice that up  and that's ready for our beautiful minted pea   [56:29] Smash Potato drain your peas and potatoes and just  let them steam add the Cho mint and then mash it [56:37] up we always make mash with butter  and actually if you make it with   [56:44] really nice cold pressed extra virgin  olive oil you can make an incredible   [56:49] Mash we'll season that uh with salt  and pepper I'll take this mash and   [56:56] if you wanted to make it smoother you could  but I quite like just keeping it Rough and [57:00] Ready let's get our little scored one just so

you can get this from supermarkets and  they do some pretty good stuff these days or of   [58:35] course you can order it in from your fishmongers  they have it picked and dressed I think probably   [58:40] crab is one of my favorite things in the world  I'm using a mixed pot of white and brown crab   [58:46] meat it's outrageously tasty and as it's already  been cooked it's a real speed demon if you've   [58:53] never tried it before it's sweet it's flaky  get out there it's so good so first up fennel   [59:00] and in this dish these little tops act as little  FRS little herbs little sprinkles at the end and   [59:07] they're beautiful so we'll Reserve those and keep  those for later the toughest part of the fennel   [59:12] will be these little stalky Parts here finally  chop these just like that any old way just get   [59:18] them fine the finer you chop them the quicker  they'll get tender I'm going to put a pan on a   [59:24] high heat I've got pan of boil of water go in  olive oil little drizzle goes in and we go in   [59:32] with the fennel stalks and then with the bulb look  at that it's beautiful let's cut it in half I want   [59:37] to show you what's inside the thing I love about  fennel is you can steam it and dress it roast it   [59:43] you can put it in with your boiled potatoes and  then mash it there's so much you can do with this   [59:47] beautiful vegetable really nice so just finally  slice fennel up any old how don't stress about it   [59:54] like that into into a hot pan add salt and black  pepper have a little shake up lid on top so we're   [60:03] frying caramelization and steaming softening and  sweetening this twoin one fry and steam method is   [60:10] a quick and easy way to cut down on your cooking  time but guarantee flavor next up we're going to   [60:16] go in with a pasta so I'm going to use 150 g of  spaghetti this is enough for two people get your   [60:22] hand around it twist it in we go so let that  boil away nice and fast it's all going to be   [60:29] done by the time this is cooked and the thing  I love about this recipe is it's just so simple   [60:34] while the pasta cooks with the fennel almost ready  it's time to bring together the rest of the sauce   [60:41] I'm using cherry tomatoes any you can get your  hands on it doesn't really matter what you do   [60:45] but you can half or quarter these now chili all  I want to do is put the tip of the knife in the   [60:51] end split it lengthwise the really hot part of the  chili are are the seeds so if we remove those what   [60:59] we can do is start celebrating the chili kind of  fruitiness so have a little look in here see how   [61:05] you got some color there that's fine that's nice  we like that then we're going to go in with the   [61:11] chili and the tomatoes and we're going to toss  that through and then we're going to go in for   [61:18] the last minute with the crab so the brown meat  here this is maximum flavor okay we're going to   [61:25] go in with the brown meat meat and the white meat  all you need to do to the crab is heat it through   [61:31] it's one of the fastest flavor boosts around mix  it up really stir in that brown meat because it's   [61:37] going to really be silky and delicious and  be the most wonderful wonderful seasoning   [61:42] to this dish and then drag the pasta in don't  go putting it in a colander right that starchy   [61:49] cooking water is really really important because  that's what creates silky sauce so we don't want   [61:56] it claggy Chile loves Seafood it loves crab  Tomato's the same you know fennel works with [62:02] everything it's just a beautiful celebration of  the sea I'm so excited to try this I really am   [62:14] and to finish just a tiny bit of cold  pressed extra virgin olive oil come [62:21] on all right I'm literally so chuffed right now  that is one of my favorite pastas it just makes   [62:31] me want to smile and I it's just so good my super  Speedy crab spaghetti a date night dinner to die   [62:40] for that's so quick and easy first my quick Asian  fish cakes a speedy salmon supper that's easy   [62:48] to prep when you can't be doing with complicated  cooking it's the coolest dish ever you're going to   [62:53] look like a hero and it's a joy to to make using  salmon fets lemongrass Ginger fresh coriander   [63:02] and sweet and spicy chili jam okay so I'm going to  give you a recipe for the most incredible handmade   [63:09] homemade fish cakes start to finish in no time at  all pan on we're going to use salmon nice little   [63:15] salmon fish cakes uh 500 gr of salmon get it from  your fish Monga or your sou Market skin off no   [63:21] bones this is effortless cooking at its best just  chop up the salmon with these Asian ingredients   [63:27] we're biging up flavor with ginger lemongrass it's  a beautiful fragrant thing and using a lot of sort   [63:33] of Asian cooking I'm just going to take the ends  off like that and then we're just going to give   [63:39] it a little spank with the side of a knife look at  that absolutely amazing and if you smell it it's   [63:47] like it's kind of like lemonade it's kind of like  sherbet dip it's so fragrant Wicked ingredient   [63:54] and then you want a nice little sort of chunk of  Ginger about a little inch size piece I've been   [64:01] quite wasteful with the skin but I quite like to  make Cups of Tea out of that and it's delicious   [64:06] I'm using the herb coriander really nice really  fragrant I want you to pick a few beautiful gishy   [64:12] little leaves right for a bit of sprinkl a little  bit later then the rest we're going to hack it [64:17] up lay the fish on here I'm going to slice half  of it into centimeter chunks like this and then   [64:30] into little dice that's going to be the texture  and the juicy bits right and then the other half   [64:35] we're going to go pasty so what's genius about  this is we're just going to keep on chopping and   [64:41] chopping into the ginger and the lemongrass  and there is absolutely no Chef Talent here   [64:46] whatsoever you can see I've got my hand on  the end of the knife it's safe and we're just   [64:51] going to keep on running through it mashing  it up you know mincing it you can use the   [64:55] of the knife just to smudge it and smash it and  that's going to create the most incredible paste   [65:01] that binds the fish cake without having to use egg  whites or cornflour this Speedy no fuss technique   [65:08] is the simplest way to bind your fish cakes next  up a pinch of sea salt and pepper and now we can   [65:15] bring it all together and then you can still chop  it a little bit but there you go we're basically   [65:20] done these are the quickest fish cakes ever just  divide them up and shape them up I'm going to use   [65:29] no oil at all there is enough natural fat in the  salmon all those fantastic Omega-3s see how rough   [65:38] that is I haven't formed it let it not be perfect  this is homemade light vibrant flavors it's going   [65:44] to fall apart in your mouth right you're going  to hardly have to chew it's just going to eat   [65:48] itself delish around about 2 minutes on each side  I can rattle this out in under 10 minutes start to   [65:54] finish cooked I'm going to turn the first one look  at that lightly golden we don't want to overcook   [66:02] these now let's do the corol bit some chili jam  it's sweet and sour and you're going to get a nice   [66:09] big bang for your buck a simple teaspoon on each  is a great hack for a super quick sweet and spicy   [66:15] glaze I'm going to cush it over the edge and the  fact that these are a little bit gnarly that's all   [66:20] good and I just want to turn it over back on the  other side for like 30 seconds it's so quick it's   [66:26] a brilliant thing to put in your repertoire when  you're cooking for the ones that you [Music] love   [66:33] and I love just to Rack these up put them in the  middle of the table glass of wine with friends   [66:38] you know do whatever you want and then get your  nice coriander put it in and around I'm telling   [66:42] you if your friends try that you can make that in  front of them they'll be like what you doing what   [66:47] you doing let's get in there bust it open look how  crumbly it is so light and delicate and gorgeous   [66:56] oh so simple so quick and of course you could  have it in a patty in a pit of bread with rice   [67:01] with noodles whatever you want but that is  a fantastic little tip to make your own fish   [67:06] cakes delicious a showstopping supper for  days when life's too busy for complicated   [67:13] cooking so let's get started with a ridiculously  quick hot smoked salmon pasta a truly luxurious   [67:20] dish for when time is tight let me show you an  Absol absolutely spectacular pasta dish a meal   [67:27] for two that is so fast for a taste sensation  get some sustainable hot smoked salmon fresh   [67:35] asparagus an unwaxed lemon dried Tagle arini  pasta and gorgeous cremme fresh it's so good   [67:44] you're going to love it and it's such a big  flavorful dish for such a quick quick thing to   [67:48] do so Pana boiling water on let's start off with  the primary ingredient the hot smoked salmon you   [67:55] can get it in all the supermarkets gorgeous skin  flesh and that wonderful color there's such a lot   [68:00] of flavor for one ingredient right here so this  goes in a pan dry pan skinside down and we're   [68:06] on a medium heat here what I want to achieve is  crispy skin it's going to be really really good   [68:13] hot smoked salmon is a total Time Saver because  it's already cooked so just heat it through and   [68:18] get the skin gorgeously golden now asparagus I'm  going to use a little Gadget which is a speed peel   [68:25] and we're going to just take this peeler from  the base to the tip and what's beautiful is   [68:31] the Elegance you know the Precision love that  as soon as it gets tricky which is about now   [68:38] that will put to the side so what I'm trying to  achieve here guys is texture visual appeal and of   [68:46] course the way you cut vegetables and ingredients  changes the way it tastes put the ribbons to the   [68:53] side for later then chop the leftover asparagus  removing any Woody ends make it quite fine okay   [69:02] um because your talini is delicate and you want  this to stick around that beautiful pasta so   [69:10] Salmon's been in there for like a minute I'm  going to turn the salmon and it skin should   [69:16] just peel off effortlessly and then a little  bit like pork scratchings I want to get this   [69:21] crispy so put the skin the other side down just a  little oil and we're going to go in with a chopped [69:30] asparagus and then if you look you can see it  rendering getting super crispy as we're doing   [69:42] that we can use our lovely unwaxed lemon just a  few Strokes just the lemon zest gives such flavor   [69:51] don't waste it so look let's have a little look  here look at that you can see how delicate that is   [69:56] lovely color beautiful big bits small bits and of  course the asparagus is now sucking up all of that   [70:05] lovely flavor look at that Skin's getting crispier  this is going to be great right this pasta Cooks   [70:11] in like 3 4 minutes um I've got boiling water  here season it always important so you want about   [70:17] 150 g of dried pasta there this talini it has  egg in it so it's a gentle silky kind of pasta   [70:26] so just break the pasta up and then let  it boil when that Salmon skin is really   [70:31] nice and crisp look at that oh it's popping  and spitting take this out and I'll just put   [70:36] that like that and then I can introduce lemon  juice to this very lovely pan of wonderful [70:47] flavor we literally just move the  salmon and asparagus around and   [70:58] when it's kind of cooked away I'm just  going to grab this pasta and throw it   [71:04] in you can drain it in the Coler if you  want but if you got tongues you can do [71:08] this once you've done that then  the last ingredient is wonderful   [71:15] creme fresh about a tablespoon goes  in a little bit of relief from the   [71:19] smokiness and I want to contrast that  with the heat from pepper the generous   [71:25] dusting and then we can jiggle the pan around  I'm going to add a little bit of cooking water   [71:33] and this will kind of almost relax the creeme  fresh and mix with the beautiful smoked salmon   [71:40] fat and I'm going to turn the heat off now and  just move the pasta around that the smell is [71:45] phenomenal look at that oh this is going  to be good guys it's going to be so good   [71:56] just before serving up throw the asparagus ribbons  into the pan to give them a quick blast of heat   [72:03] look at the color really really nice beautiful  all I do now is go back to my crispy bit of [72:12] salmon and you've got every last bit of flavor  from that salmon and if you want to drizzle   [72:22] it with a little oil and the important  thing about pasta is not to talk [Music] [72:31] eat and I love the way when you kind of Twinkle  your fork around you get the beautiful asparagus   [72:41] as well and there little chunks of cooked  asparagus with the smoked salmon crispy [72:47] bits big flavor big flavor it's a combo that  wants to work those five things have got to be   [73:01] best mates do you know what I mean haven't got  time for ice breaking just got to be best mates   [73:07] real food real cooking fun to make and not just  quick BL delicious what are you waiting for you   [73:15] shouldn't even be watching anymore my

thank you for this is  something a bit different and I think you're   [73:36] going to love it get yourself some gorgona cheese  super ripe pears redico dried FF Farley pasta and   [73:46] a handful of walnuts a really classy delicious  pasta dish so the pastor of choice is ffar which   [73:53] translates as butterflies and we love them my  girls absolutely love these so we're going to   [73:58] put couple of handfuls in for two people it's  going to be great uh these take about 12 minutes   [74:04] to cook season with salt and in the time it  takes for this pasta to cook we will have the   [74:10] rest of the dish ready so let's get that lid on  in actual fact let's swap that lid take that for   [74:16] a little bowl or a big bowl okay and what I want  to do here is use it as a lid but also the subtle   [74:23] heat of this is the perfect thing to melt this  gorgona so I'm just going to cut about half of [74:29] this look at that this is Italy's version of  a Stilton it's gorgeous you can get it in the   [74:38] supermarkets now you got gooey bits flaky crumbly  bits light bits of blue so you've got creaminess   [74:45] and Funk and a whole load of texture going on  so just break that cheese up in the bottom of   [74:50] the bowl and that will gently ooze and melt so  that's why this bowl is so brilliant because   [74:57] it's a gentle heat so it'll be almost like a  kind of fondue and the only bit I won't use   [75:03] is the little bit of skin at the side so Pastor  on cheese melting it's looking good this dish is   [75:10] all about big contrasting flavors so bring on  Italy's version of red chory the mighty redico   [75:17] this is a very very famous salad Leaf famous for  being bitter and if you look at the cross-section   [75:23] here it's abs absolutely beautiful but if you  have bitter food in conjunction with sweet food   [75:30] and the sweet food in this story will be these  beautiful pears now you're talking right so sweet   [75:38] with bitter with the creaminess of this beautiful  cheese is going to be amazing and your tongue is   [75:44] going to be like woohoo and that's what we want  get a pan on a high heat then core and finally   [75:50] slice two juicy pears now if they're one of those  pears that has a kind of Cary sandpapery sort of   [75:56] outside peel them right you can see these ones  have got silky soft uh outsides and that's lovely   [76:01] so just leave those get them a bit finer I'm going  dry into the pan come back here we got a bit of   [76:11] an ooze going on there so you can see how it's  just melting molten funky [Music] cheese y'all   [76:22] I'm going to have a little Chef's honor this  is my bit of pear and this is a bit of Uzi Uzi   [76:30] cheese right you shouldn't do this [Music] but oh  creamy funky delicious seasoned depth of flavor   [76:41] and then juicy sweet yes but it's only going  to get better Clank up half the ricio into 1   [76:48] cm slices and add to the pears so sweet and bitter  come together together in a pan of love we're just   [76:58] going to wilt that down for 3 or 4 minutes until  that pasta's cooked you can see it shrinking and   [77:07] softening it smells incredible the pasta is  going to be done now look at that Uzi cheese   [77:14] you know that makes sense yes love that so just  going to take that off drain your pasta keeping   [77:23] some of that precious stuff starchy water and  grab a handful of walnuts and just crush them   [77:29] in my hands beautiful so this is where things  get quite cool then I'm going to go in with the [77:37] pasta let's get that wonderful  melty cheese you know it makes   [77:45] sense yes and then a little bit  of that starchy cooking water   [77:56] pinch of black pepper wow and then you start the  magic it's the most beautiful incredible pink so [78:07] good and then a few bits of nuts crush them  up as fine as you can in your hands and just   [78:17] sprinkle it on top my friends that is a  classic come on let's get in there [Music]   [78:33] most of this is super silky but with the odd hit  of the walnuts the bitterness is very subtle now   [78:40] but the pear is beyond sweet and it's just working  and the cheese is not strong it's very milky and   [78:47] fresh with a nice little twang what a combination  five ingredients just firing all of your taste   [78:53] buds that's a great pasta right there what an  utterly effortless grownup pasta dish bursting   [79:00] with exciting bold flavors don't just watch it try  it time for my Sicilian tuna pasta a simple way to   [79:09] ramp up a midweek family favorite we're going to  do a beautiful five ingredient pasta celebrating a   [79:16] part of Italy that I just love so much Sicily for  fantastic flavor get some sustainable tuna dried   [79:24] pasta sh s baby Capers dried oregano and gorgeous  ripe cherry tomatoes this my friends is a winner   [79:33] of a dish and literally in the time it takes to  cook the pasta it's all done and you're ready to   [79:38] rock and roll so first up beautiful pasta into  some salted boiling water I'm using pasta shells   [79:45] here of course you can use any pasta you love  300 G of pasta goes in make sure you season the   [79:51] water lid back on and I just put the spoon slow  SL a gel so it doesn't boil over now I want four   [79:57] big teaspoons of these Capers let's have a little  look at these in Sicily they absolutely treasure   [80:05] Capers they use them in so many ways they make  sauces salces stuffings pastas they flavor oils   [80:12] and they're so perfumed and they come from a  beautiful little plant that has amazing flowers   [80:17] you use them right they're extraordinary right  I'll grab a pan and I'm going to do something   [80:23] different with this recipe to really get it going  the Pan's heating up medium high heat and here we   [80:29] have the tuna now you can get tuna in tins nothing  wrong with it but the stuff in jars is normally a   [80:34] bit better and you normally have a better quality  fish and the oil is decent in here as well so for   [80:39] a quick flavor hit Pour a tablespoon of the oil  from the tuner into the pan then I'm going to   [80:45] go in with these Capers right and they're going  to Crispen up and kind of open out like that so   [80:50] we're creating texture but also these Capers are  going to flavor the oil delicious so we'll let   [80:56] these just fry have a little look in there they  just going beautifully crisp and they've sort   [81:04] of popped gorgeous and while that's happening we  can then prep our Tomatoes now look at these right   [81:11] you can use any Tomatoes you like but by getting  them on the vine they will taste better uh for   [81:15] sure you can also get them ripe so they're really  Juicy and Delicious once the tomatoes are off the   [81:21] vine you can cut them in halves or quarters and  to be honest if you're feeling like in a rush   [81:28] or lazy just scrunch them with your bare hands  and go completely old school when the Capers are   [81:34] nice and crispy scoop most of them out and put  aside for later look at that amazing and what   [81:40] that's done is taking something soft that made  it crispy and it's perfumed the oil that we're   [81:45] going to fry our tomatoes in then throw a handful  of tomatoes into the pan and it's time for a bit   [81:52] of Sicilian seasoning in this lovely oil here  just scrunch the oregano and it will literally   [81:59] just rain that herb into there flouring oregano  will take this dish to another level but if you   [82:06] can't find it the regular dried stuff will do  the job too the smell and as soon as it hits   [82:12] the heat it's like a completely different ball  game so we want to just very lightly cook these [82:17] Tomatoes give it a nice little toss  look at the colors look at that   [82:25] really really nice so we can now go in with  the tuna uh make sure it's msse approved and   [82:32] look you can see the the kind of nicer tuna  is more of a kind of beautiful chunk that we   [82:37] can then flake and you can break it  up small or big there's no right or [82:41] wrong all I would do now is just Nick a bit  of that starchy water and that will blend with   [82:55] the fat from the tuner and just pull a bit more  flavor out of that tuner as well once the pasta   [83:02] is done drain and add to the sauce in the pan  and of course being seashell shape was fantastic   [83:10] about it is it's got that little cup that little  cup that will trap the Cherry Vine Tomatoes the [83:16] sauce what you want to do is just give it a  good old toss you can use spoons if you want it   [83:24] just dresses that Pastor in the most beautiful  way but have a taste does it need salt and pepper   [83:33] does it need a little tweak and look at that what  a dinner so quick so easy so full of life look at   [83:45] the juices and they're filling up all those lovely  little shells and then get those beautiful Capers   [83:52] and just sprinkle them and a little shaky shaky  get everyone around the table get them there with   [84:01] the forks in hand a beautiful humble gorgeous  pasta very fast and full of color look at that   [84:10] let's get in there that beautiful little mouthful  a little shell full of tomato full of Capers all   [84:18] the juices right enough talking in the Gob M  big flavor big juicy flavor keeping it short   [84:29] sweeten to the point and focusing on those little  points like crispening up the Capers the quick   [84:34] cooking the

prawn trapped  in the pasta really really nice tip to sort of   [90:13] chop those prawns up but of course then you get  the big old chunk as well that you can attack   [90:17] with your fingers once you've had a go you'll be  hooked five ingredients working really really hard   [90:25] sexy prawn pasta for two super quick to make  and guaranteed to earn big brownie points now   [90:33] for my fast and fiery oene penny arabiata a  quick veggie pasta the perfect grub for the   [90:40] end of a busy day in this recipe I'm going to  extract the very best of chili flavor and it's   [90:46] not just heat there's fruit and there's kind  of warmth that it can give you and it makes you   [90:50] feel really cozy I want that in this dish using  fresh chilies large firm Obin garlic tinned plum   [90:59] tomatoes and dried whole wheat pasta I love  clever ways of using chili in a dish and this   [91:06] dish is centered around chili the beginning of  this recipe actually starts with making yourself   [91:12] a condiment that will sit in your fridge I'm  going to put you know a nice amount of olive   [91:17] oil into a jar this is the jar I'm going to  store it in but I'm going to put all this all   [91:22] in the pan so that's heating up I'm going to go  to my chilies I'm going to take the little tops [91:27] off like that and then most of the heat is kept  inside the chili so scrape the membrane and the   [91:40] Little Seeds here leaving you with the actual  fruit I'm going to take it and I'm going to put   [91:45] it into this oil and what that's going to do is  cook the chili make it tender but it's going to   [91:50] bring out much warmer gentler notes you want to  make it an inclusive dish you don't want to do   [91:55] it so hot that everyone's like going nuts right  so now these chilies are looking quite good add   [92:02] them to a little Jam Jar like this delicious  you can use it in soups and stews and rotos and   [92:10] I'll pour the oil in there as well make sure the  jars are heat prooof jar I'll leave about three   [92:16] or four and then we're good now oine and I want  to make it soft and silky and golden and meat   [92:24] and delicious first off half them and  get them into boiling water season with   [92:30] salt and we're just going to give it  5 minutes what you'll end up with is   [92:34] lovely creamy internal flesh and that skin  that's currently not edible will become [92:38] edible we're going to take the Obin [92:44] out with this you've got nice soft flesh  and I'm literally just going to hack them   [92:53] up into sort of inch chunks we'll turn  the heat up now to medium medium high [93:02] beautiful toss it in that beautiful warm  gorgeous chili oil always shake it flat   [93:13] cuz we want to get color on that skin and the  inside of the OB jeans season with salt and   [93:18] a little pepper let's get in with the  pasta 300 G of your whole wheek pasta   [93:24] goes in this takes about 9 minutes to cook  then for a lovely robust flavor simply slice   [93:30] up four garlic cloves nice and fine I'll add  that to the pan cuz it's doing quite nicely [93:37] now so the last piece of the story is the  tomatoes by trading up to the plum tomatoes   [93:46] you'll always get an a gr tomato what I like  to do then is just crush it in my hands but   [93:51] I don't want to wear it so I am standing  at a distance get a nice little pulp and   [93:56] it smells incredible as soon as that Garlic's  taken on a little bit of color go in with the [94:01] tomatoes steal a bit of the cooking water to  clean out the tin and you use that to clean   [94:11] out our little Bowl here and it just helps you  achieve that consistency that you want half a   [94:18] tin of pasta water will do the trick the sauce is  pretty much done now we'll bring that to the boil   [94:23] we'll season it up pasta's ready and  then into the sauce it goes and then   [94:32] a nice little toss up hot and steamy in  temperature and flavor right let's play [94:39] up really nice pimp this up a little bit you can  just take a little bit of this slice it up it's   [94:50] so soft and tender lay it over a little chili oil  and that my friends is a beautiful [Music] thing   [95:07] M the OB jeans are really good it's just that  wonderful balance between sort of the sweetness   [95:17] of tomato and heat that's so good and it just  makes you feel good it gets your endorphins going   [95:22] it actually gets you sort of picked up a spicy  little veggie pasta for days when you can't be   [95:30] doing with complicated cooking so we're going to  do a beautiful recipe this is like the coolest   [95:34] little thing to do with prawns you'll need fresh  king prawns garlic lime curry powder and sweet   [95:42] mango chutney it's an amazing process and recipe  that gives you texture crunch softness sweet sour   [95:49] spice it's really really good so big pan let's  whack that on a medium high heat we're going to   [95:55] be biging up prawns of course so we've got 300  G of prawns here these are absolutely delicious   [96:01] they're fresh uh you can see by the beautiful  blue color I love this size really really nice   [96:06] I find it gives you the best kind of sweet flavor  they've got all their shells on and I always look   [96:10] for the msse approved accreditation so they're  sustainable right so 300 G of prawns what I want   [96:15] to do is make it easy to pick it up and eat it  most of the flavor is in the head so I'm just   [96:21] going to peel the prawn all the way down to the  T and you can leave the tail on as well now by   [96:25] peeling this prawn we can do a couple of other  things as well one is remove the little Vein   [96:30] from down here and you can do that easily by just  running a knife carefully down the back of a prawn   [96:36] it's very very simple and if you put that tip in  you'll pull out this little vein like that and you   [96:41] can just lose that but also by running the knife  down there you're allowing this prawn to Butterfly   [96:46] and what that means is just to open up like a  butterfly this is a stunning way to prep your   [96:51] prawns and a great tip to help them take on added  flavor in the pan okay so we are all done garlic   [96:57] we're going to use quite a bit of actually we're  going to use six cloves of garlic which for two   [97:01] people you know that's kind of cracking on a lot  but we're going to make them sweet and delicious   [97:05] so it's not going to be garlicky sort of in a  pungent horrible way we're going to flavor the   [97:09] oil to cook the prawns in and we're going to make  them like little crisps like literally like crisps   [97:14] try and slice the garlic the same thickness if  you don't then you won't get that lovely even   [97:20] cook so they're all Crispy Crunchy so I B bit  of love goes a long way so the garlic is done   [97:26] then I'm going to be using a couple of little  condiments that make this dish first one is a   [97:32] good curry powder a really nice blend of all those  spices right each kind of curry powder varies pick   [97:38] one that you like they're in all the supermarkets  then the star of the show as well as the prawns   [97:42] of course a nice mango chutney because you get so  many layers of flavor you get a real bang for your   [97:49] buck but most importantly you get that glaze and  that sort of sweetness that wrists off the spice   [97:55] and off the garlic that's going to be amazing  so in a pan I'm going to add a tablespoon of   [98:00] oil and then I'm going to go in with the garlic  if you angle the pan like this you almost create   [98:07] like a little mini deep fat fryer Garlic's very  sensitive it's got natural sugars in there and I   [98:11] want to fry them until they're crisp and golden  if you make them kind of go black they'll go   [98:15] slightly bitter so these are looking really good  so all the Garlic's out now we turn the heat up   [98:21] and we've got this gorgeous garlic oil so we go  in with a teaspoon of curry powder just move the   [98:28] oil into that curry powder and it will just start  to toast and go beautiful then we can go in with   [98:35] our prawns and they'll go from that amazing  blue color of the raw prawn and as the heat   [98:42] penetrates it you know it'll start turning that  amazing pink and where youve butterfly it it will   [98:48] start to transform here we go look at those  colors woohoo so that garlic oil is infusing   [98:55] with the curry powder and don't forget we've got  loads of flavor in those porn heads there look   [99:01] there there oh yes and they're basically done  now you don't need to overcook prawns at all   [99:07] we're going to go in with one nice big spoon of  mango chutney so now the Mango's in there this is   [99:14] kind of the sizzle time right it's going to glaze  it it's going to shine and then onto the plate we [99:19] go some of that lovely juice just in the middle  and then we get those beautiful garlic chips   [99:28] and we just sprinkle those in and around then  our last ingredient is lime so little strokes   [99:34] of the lime zest makes all the difference  then we can simply just slice that into a   [99:40] little wedge a fantastic little Sizzle  plate it will be impossible to not want   [99:44] to get stuck into that lime juice over the top  don't be polite about it get in there oh yeah   [99:53] absolutely delicious the crunch of the garlic  was totally worth it every now and again you   [99:59] get a little chunk of mango the prawns in all of  that just work really well you've still got the   [100:04] sweetness they're perfectly cooked fresh zingy  sweet and sour hot and sizzling I love it quick   [100:11] to prep and ridiculously tasty my lips smacking  sticky mango prawns a pleasure to cook and a joy   [100:17] to share next up my one pan fabulous fish a speedy  supper that guaranteed perfect rice every time I'm   [100:27] going to make a fantastic tray bake or pan dish  one pan five ingredients brilliant combo using   [100:34] white fish fets basmati rice green olive tapenade  cherry tomatoes and fragrant fresh Basel everyone   [100:43] needs a great one pound dish up their sleeve  and this my friends is a cracker it's super   [100:48] healthy I'm using some beautiful hadock here but  you could use any lovely white fish and I would   [100:53] look for the MSE approved accreditation so they're  sustainable right so I've got two chunks so this   [100:59] method is brilliant we're going to use a casserole  style pan it's all going to cook in here to put   [101:05] the heat on we're going to use 300 G of basmati  rice which is about a Mug's worth a little pinch   [101:13] of salt basic seasoning very important then  I'm going to top it up with 600 M of cold water   [101:19] straighten the pan you want to let it just boil  for 4 minutes minutes okay and by then the rice   [101:25] would have started to swell and that's when we  add our fish and then I want to add some tapenade   [101:30] so it's basically minced or chopped black or green  olives I've got green olive here just get two Heap   [101:36] teaspoons and just stir that through the rice so  that's a really nice basic seasoning we're going   [101:41] to give it 4 minutes then we'll add the fish we  want four clear portions like that fantastic now   [101:48] I've got 350 G of cherry tomatoes you could use  any Tomatoes you like but if if you have a look   [101:53] down the markets or supermarkets now you'll see  they're selling all kinds of wonderful colors and   [101:58] shapes they're just so pretty this is a totally  stress-free supper no tricky techniques simply   [102:04] slice your tomatoes in half we're going to dress  this with a pinch of salt and pepper and I'm going   [102:09] to go in with a tablespoon each of olive oil  and vinegar and then Basel get yourself about   [102:16] eight Spriggs what I'm doing is just picking the  pretty little leaves of Basel and putting that to   [102:22] one side and then the bigger leaves go into my  salad and then once I've got that I'm going to   [102:28] just grab the basil like this and have a little  tear up and then a little tossup so what this   [102:33] is going to do is season flavor and draw out the  natural moisture in those gorgeous Tomatoes this   [102:39] rice has had 4 minutes so I'm going to take these  beautiful fillets and I'm going to just snuffle   [102:44] them in there and I'm going to sprinkle all those  lovely herbs and tomatoes in and around and then   [102:49] look at all those juices pour all those in this  is all flavor and the rice is going to protect   [102:54] the fish it will also absorb the flavor from  the fish and everything's going to share let   [103:01] that chug along for 10 minutes on a medium high  heat cooking everything in one pan boosts flavor   [103:07] and guarantees perfect rice and delicate fish  so let's have a look very nice so let's try the   [103:13] rice get it's cooked The Last Remnant of water  is going and you can see how the tomatoes have   [103:19] just kind of given up all their beautiful flavor  so let's turn that off now I can can hear it just [103:23] crackling few of those lovely little Basel  leaves on top little drizzle of extra virgin   [103:32] olive oil and a little teaspoon of tapenade  just to go down that little Galley this is   [103:37] real comfort food but it also takes the fear  out of two things I still think there's a lot   [103:40] of people out there that are frightened  to cook fish and rice this solves both   [103:45] and one thing to wash up to feed for  people Joy so let's have a little look   [103:49] at the fish lovely juicy flakes of fish and  of course we're cooking it in that fantastic   [103:54] moist environment right but it's sucking up  the flavor from the tomatoes and from the [103:59] tapenade M the flavor is massive  sweetness saltiness oh it's just   [104:08] delicious and it's the quickest little  dinner ever there five ingredients in   [104:11] a pan 15 minutes later you got  not just food but a feast it is [104:16] delicious my perfect one pan fish easy cooking  to make you really happy at the end of a busy [104:25] [Music] day next up my stupidly simple crispy  squid and smashed avocado a sexy starter for   [104:39] sharing that you can rattle out in minutes it's a  great great combo people go nuts for this you'll   [104:45] need fresh quid whole meal flour hot chili  sauce avocado and fresh limes I want to show   [104:53] you how to make something that I love to do at  home as a starter or as a nice little sort of   [104:57] nibble on a lovely Summer's Day glass of wine  really civilized but good flavors so first up   [105:02] about a centimeter just over of olive oil I'm  going to heat that up on a medium high heat um   [105:08] so that's doing its thing next up 250 g of squid  and for extra texture use the tentacles and all   [105:16] so I'm going to line up the squid and just cut  it into centimeter slices like so I think people   [105:23] are quite scared to cook squid at home so clearly  there's like a a little worry about how do you do   [105:27] it you know is it complicated so let's kind of go  through it because it is a wonderful little treat   [105:32] to master so Squid goes in we're going to add  whole wheat flour handful couple of tablespoon   [105:39] and we're just going to toss that around and  it will immediately stick to it so that's your   [105:43] coating so when you're tossing these up just make  sure you open up the little squid you know so you   [105:49] can get the flour in there and if you want to add  more then feel free to add a little bit more flour   [105:54] and just make it light and covered and fantastic  so look at that legs tube Frills nice get your   [106:03] oil nice and hot then pop a piece of squid in  as a test when it turns golden it's time to get   [106:08] your squid in so that's frying quite nicely and  we're going to go straight in to our oil this is a   [106:17] super Speedy way to cook but it always take care  when you're frying so we're going to cook this   [106:23] for about 3 to 4 minutes until really crispy  and golden so that's a perfect amount of time   [106:29] to make our smashed avocad it couldn't be simpler  just have it Stone it and peel grab the fork and   [106:37] I'll just give it a nice little mash up let's  season this up so we want double flavor out   [106:45] of this line get a fine little greater we want  the zest and there's so much flavor in the zest   [106:54] in with the lime juice look at that you want  it to have that kind of attack a little pinch   [106:59] of salt and pepper at it good old mix delicious  I'm going to do this as a share plate I'm going   [107:07] to take our lovely smash here to just use  the back of the spoon just to sort of give   [107:14] it a little smudge around like that so this is  looking really good now in just a few minutes   [107:20] your squid will be golden and crispy a stunning  Seafood starter or sharing plate ready in no [107:27] time look at the color guys look at the [Music]  color then just give it a little seasoned with   [107:37] sea salt give it a little jiggle about to  get rid of that excess oil and then just   [107:45] make your stack of squid legs frilly bits  look at that couple of pieces of the line   [107:53] and then good old chili sauce give it a nice  little drizzle around and there you have it   [107:59] crispy squid smash Tavo what a joy so come on  let's make a mess let's get in there chili sauce [108:08] oh so good quite like getting the little rings and  just kind of filling it up with the avocado proper   [108:20] little classic five ingredients and glorious my  soup top crispy squid and lime smashed avocado   [108:28] no fuss food that's a pleasure to make and  an irresistible treat to share first up my   [108:34] supercharged Sesame sear tuna with a cheeky hack  for an instant Asian flavor punch a joyful dish   [108:40] that's unbelievably quick and ridiculously easy so  we're going to do a beautiful seared Sesame tuna   [108:47] it takes less than 10 minutes to cook it's really  healthy you're going to love it using fresh tuna   [108:53] steaks Japanese miso paste sesame seeds spring  onions and crunchy sugar snap peas so let's put   [109:02] those five things together in the most beautiful  way let me show you our tuna here when it's kind   [109:06] of shiny and clear and rosy red you know it's  worth buying stick to yellow fin or skipjack   [109:12] tuna uh they're much more sustainable look for  the MSC certified approval which is really really   [109:18] important absolutely beautiful now we're going to  encrust that with sesame seeds it's going to give   [109:23] you the most amazing texture crunch flavor it's  really really good but to stick that to that we   [109:31] need a nice little surprise ingredient that you  might not have used before miso you can get it in   [109:36] all the supermarkets and this is a fermented bean  product you get this amazing sort of big meaty   [109:43] Savory salty flavor it's really useful to season  the fish and let the sesame seeds stick to it it   [109:50] couldn't be any simpler get yourself a nice Heap  tablespoon of the Miso and just divide it onto the   [109:57] two chunks of fish miso paste gives an instant  hit of Asian Umami flavor simply slather it on   [110:05] all sides of the steak now what I want to do is  get the sesame seeds and just sprinkle those on   [110:10] a little board like that and we'll take our tuna  steak and then just plop it on just shake it like   [110:18] that and essentially what we've done is we've  created almost like a breadcrumb topping but   [110:25] with sesame seeds look at that couldn't be easier  a great trick to learn and look at that it looks   [110:32] cool it will taste cool it protects the fish it  flavors the fish three ingredients working really   [110:37] hard and one and a half minutes on each side super  quick cooking so pan medium heat tablespoon of   [110:44] olive oil and just lay that tuna in the pan just  press the steaks a little bit to make it really   [110:51] flat while the tuna Sears it's time to prep your  veg slice the spring onions at an angle about the   [110:58] same length as the sugar snap peas and if you kind  of look at this guys it's kind of the same size   [111:05] right you got lovely sweet sugar snap peas and  a little slice of spring onion beautiful take a   [111:10] little look at these steaks and for me the genius  of this dish is by the time the sesame seeds are   [111:17] golden the fish is blushing and perfectly cooked  inside you can see the little bits where the Miso   [111:22] has just caught a little bit and caramelized  we always presume that tuna has to be cooked   [111:28] all the way through fresh tuna is a different game  right you're supposed to cook it almost like you   [111:34] know lamb or steak you know leave some blush in  there some red and then that way it's incredibly   [111:40] elegant this really is quickfire cooking with the  tuna steak cooked to Perfection let it rest for a   [111:46] couple of minutes while you flash fry the veg turn  the gas up and we go straight in with the sugar   [111:52] snap peas and the spring onions there's hardly  any oil in that pan okay so it's going to kind   [111:57] of scold and Char a little bit and you're going to  see like the little thin layer of the sugar snap   [112:03] peas s of bubble up a bit and kind of just take  on color and it'll be so sweet on the inside so   [112:08] it's a lovely way to cook cuz it feels Smoky and  sweet and these just need literally 2 minutes in   [112:15] a pan and as it heats up the sugar snap it kind of  like swirls up with steam a little pinch of salt   [112:21] and then just a little bit of vinegar tiny bit and  it will cook away and it just gives it that little   [112:28] element of like on the back of the mouth but works  really really well gorgeous go back to our lovely   [112:37] little steaks here I'm going to slice them across  about a centimeter thick you got that contrast of   [112:45] the crispy Golden Top with the light delicate tuna  so I'm just going to lay that over the veggies   [112:53] lovely bit of extra virgin olive  oil come on let's have a little [112:57] try oh yeah it's so good so quick so healthy  and something a little bit different delicious   [113:12] a supercharged 10minute meal for days  when life's too busy for complicated [113:18] cooking for
