Keywords

💡Flavor Locking

Flavor locking refers to the process of ensuring that the maximum amount of flavor from ingredients is retained and intensified in a dish. In the video, this concept is emphasized by removing the sausage from its casing to release more flavor and by caramelizing onions to bring out their sweetness. The technique is crucial for creating a rich and satisfying taste in the spicy sausage rice dish.

💡Caramelization

Caramelization is the process of cooking sugar until it turns into a brown, sweet, and flavorful substance. It is a key technique in cooking that enhances the natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor to ingredients like onions. In the video, the importance of not rushing the caramelization of onions is stressed to achieve the desired texture and flavor in the dish.

💡Searing

Searing is a cooking method that involves exposing food to high heat for a short period to create a browned, flavorful crust. In the context of the video, searing the rice helps to 'blast' it with flavor, ensuring that the grains absorb the spices and aromatics from the pan, contributing to the overall taste and aroma of the dish.

💡Deglazing

Deglazing is the process of adding a liquid to a hot pan to loosen and dissolve the browned bits, or 'fond', that have stuck to the bottom during cooking. This technique is used to enhance the flavor of the dish by incorporating these concentrated flavors back into the sauce or liquid. In the video, white wine is used to deglaze the pan, capturing the flavors from the sausages and vegetables.

💡Simmering

Simmering is a gentle cooking method where food is cooked in liquid at a temperature just below boiling point. This slow and low heat allows flavors to meld and ingredients to cook evenly without breaking down. In the video, the rice is simmered in stock after being seasoned, which helps to cook the rice and infuse it with the flavors from the pan.

💡Meatballs

Meatballs are a culinary preparation made from ground meat, often mixed with breadcrumbs, milk, and seasonings, then shaped into balls and cooked. In the video, the meatballs are prepared with a focus on texture and flavor, using a combination of minced beef, onions, garlic, and spices, and then cooked in coconut milk for a unique, rich, and fragrant dish.

💡Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a rich, creamy liquid extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts. It is commonly used in cooking, particularly in Asian and tropical cuisines, to add a distinct flavor and creamy texture without the heaviness of dairy milk. In the video, coconut milk is used to cook the meatballs, providing a light richness and a fragrant, spicy undertone to the dish.

💡Short Crust Pastry

Short crust pastry is a type of pie crust that is crumbly and buttery, typically used for both sweet and savory pies and tarts. It is made with flour, butter, and water, and sometimes sugar and salt. The technique for making it involves rubbing the butter into the flour to create a crumbly texture, then adding just enough water to bring it together. In the video, short crust pastry is prepared for a quiche, emphasizing the importance of the right texture and the relaxation of the dough for the best results.

💡Blind Baking

Blind baking is a method of pre-cooking a pastry case before adding the filling, typically used to ensure a crisp texture and to prevent a soggy bottom. This technique involves lining the pastry with foil or baking paper and weighing it down with rice, pulses, or baking stones before baking. In the video, the pastry for the quiche is blind baked to achieve a perfect crust before adding the bacon and leek filling.

💡Quiche

A quiche is a savory pie or tart with a pastry crust and a filling typically made from eggs, cream, cheese, and various vegetables or meats. It originates from French cuisine and is known for its creamy texture and rich flavor. In the video, a classic quiche with bacon and leeks is prepared, highlighting the importance of the pastry and the combination of flavors in the filling.

02:20

rice in and we're going to sort of

02:22

basically sear the rice we call it in

02:25

the kitchen blasting the rice where we

02:27

sort of soda the rice for 30 seconds and

02:30

it takes on all that flavor

02:33

next white wine so the wine sort of

02:37

deglazes the pan and washes all that

02:40

flavor from the bottom of the pan into

02:42

the rice

02:43

stock in bring it up to the boil turn it

02:45

down and let it simmer

02:48

[Music]

03:19

at the volume in that pan now that

03:22

is an amazing way to take spicy italian

03:25

sausages

03:26

to a completely different level

03:28

beautiful

03:29

[Music]

03:34

first off get your pan on and start

03:36

sweating off your onions and your garlic

03:41

this recipe involves making the

03:42

meatballs in a classic way but the

03:45

exciting part is actually cook them in

03:47

coconut milk and it gives a really nice

03:49

new dimension to a sort of soft

03:51

rich sumptuous meatball

03:54

chop the onion nice and finely keeping

03:56

those slices very close together

03:58

closer the slices the finer the onions

04:02

pat it back down at an angle slice down

04:05

and just chop

04:08

i want the onions nice and fine because

04:10

i want some finesse to these meatballs

04:12

the secret of a really good meatball is

04:14

the texture

04:15

getting that balance right

04:17

between the minced beef the bread crumbs

04:20

the milk

04:21

and the seasoning a couple cloves of

04:22

garlic slice the garlic really nice and

04:25

thinly

04:28

nice pan nice and hot a tablespoon of

04:31

olive oil quite generous with the olive

04:33

oil

04:34

onions and garlic in we'll touch the

04:36

salt

04:37

and pepper

04:42

your mince open it up a little bit

04:44

and sort of pat it out salt

04:48

and pepper

04:50

for me

04:51

a good meatball is all about the

04:53

the softness the texture of that rich

04:55

beef

04:57

and the way it sort of melts in your

04:58

mouth you can color it on the outside

04:59

but you want it nice and soft and sort

05:01

of rich in the center mix that in

05:03

beautifully

05:04

and then paste it back out again i've

05:06

got some really nice

05:08

dried chili flakes i'm gonna season the

05:10

onions with the chili flakes chili

05:11

flakes in

05:14

cook that out for two minutes

05:16

i'm gonna add some milk

05:20

take your bread crumbs

05:22

make a little well three four

05:23

tablespoons of milk that makes a sort of

05:26

nice

05:27

slightly doughy texture

05:29

but it lightens the texture of the

05:30

meatball

05:32

place that

05:33

in

05:34

add your onions your garlic and your

05:37

chili in there as well

05:39

nice put your hands in there and start

05:41

mixing them

05:43

if you've got the right amount of milk

05:46

and breadcrumbs it doesn't mean binding

05:48

with an egg

05:50

don't make them too small the problem

05:52

with making them too small is the fact

05:53

that they dry out quickly

05:55

just the size of a golf ball

05:58

a little bit bigger

06:00

nice

06:02

really nice tight squeeze that stops it

06:04

from breaking up

06:07

it always pays to double the recipe and

06:09

spend a bit more time making extra

06:10

meatballs so you can freeze a batch

06:12

ready for another time

06:14

give the pan a little wipe out

06:16

don't wash out that pan we've got that

06:18

flavor from the onions the garlic at the

06:19

bottom get that pan nice and hot a touch

06:22

of olive oil in there

06:24

place them

06:25

at the top of your pan

06:28

nice and gently

06:30

sit them in the oil

06:32

get a pallet knife and go underneath

06:33

them and just sort of

06:35

tilt the pan and let the pan cook the

06:37

back of the meatball

06:38

we're going to add some heat coriander

06:40

seeds

06:41

slightly spicy and peppery just to give

06:44

a really nice flavor to the coconut milk

06:47

in next some cardamom seeds three or

06:50

four onto the board knife on

06:54

in a little touch of turmeric into the

06:56

center of the pan that's gonna give it a

06:58

really nice spicy flavor

07:01

a little pinch

07:03

cinnamon

07:05

all the time you're doing this those

07:06

meatballs are just getting tastier and

07:09

tastier

07:10

a couple of dried chilies let them

07:12

infuse in that oil

07:15

and then some lemongrass just take the

07:17

back of your knife and sort of

07:20

beat it down that starts to release all

07:22

that lovely sort of fragrance like

07:24

someone's just

07:26

let off the most amazing

07:28

fragrant air freshener in the lemongrass

07:33

and finally some fresh ginger

07:36

just peel

07:37

and slice nice and thinly

07:43

time now

07:44

to turn them over

07:46

and let the other half a wonderful

07:48

flavor

07:53

chicken stock

07:55

in

08:00

bring the stock up to the boil turn the

08:02

gas up and then add the coconut milk

08:04

i want the coconut milk just sitting

08:06

underneath the top of the meatball

08:10

coconut milk in and that sort of

08:13

gives it that creamy richness but it's

08:16

not heavy it's a fragrant

08:18

light richness

08:21

before we start simmering check the

08:22

seasoning

08:26

nice soft texture of the meatball for

08:29

that fragrance light richness of the

08:31

coconut broth just gonna cook those

08:33

meatballs perfectly

08:37

bring the broth up to the boil

08:39

then simmer gently for eight to ten

08:41

minutes

08:46

touch them with your finger this should

08:48

be slightly pliable but

08:50

slightly springy gas off i'm gonna

08:52

finish it off with something light and

08:54

fresh zest of lime but i want the zest

08:58

on top of the meatball

09:00

so i'll cut through that richness

09:02

and then finally

09:04

squeeze the fresh lime

09:07

and that just gives it that nice

09:09

zesty amazing taste

09:12

stirring the juice

09:16

i've got that kick and that

09:18

vibrant taste

09:20

now

09:20

the exciting part

09:22

when you come to serve it

09:24

be generous with that coconut broth

09:26

tilt the pan

09:27

get a good couple of ladles of the broth

09:30

in

09:32

meatballs

09:35

[Music]

09:37

and that is a very

09:39

delicious way of eating a old-fashioned

09:42

meatball

09:43

and bringing it into the 21st century

09:45

and they're just as good cooked from

09:46

frozen as well

09:50

[Music]

09:53

take a sieve

09:55

when you think of short crust pastry

09:57

it's sort of

09:58

semi-flaky but it's rich buttery

10:03

start by sipping 200 grams of plain

10:04

flour into a mixing bowl

10:07

large pinch

10:09

of salt

10:10

200 grams of unsalted butter

10:13

bring the butter up to room temperature

10:15

if you let the butter become too soft

10:17

and the flour so it doesn't absorb it in

10:21

with your fingers rub together first

10:23

now the secret is

10:25

grab big handfuls and squeeze the butter

10:28

into the flour

10:31

so look what's happened literally in 30

10:32

seconds i've got that nice

10:34

crumbly

10:36

texture

10:37

now a couple of tablespoons

10:40

of water nothing worse when the pastry

10:42

is so wet you can't bring it together it

10:44

needs to shape like a nice rich cookie

10:47

dough it's just a touch to dry

10:50

so

10:51

one more

10:52

tablespoon of water

10:54

[Music]

10:56

and there you go it's coming nicely

10:59

now

11:00

that's what i want

11:02

a nice sort of

11:03

firm ball of pastry

11:06

onto the board

11:08

i'm going to use these

11:10

one of the strongest parts of the body

11:12

pull towards you and push back down use

11:16

those wrists

11:17

to really

11:19

knead it

11:20

together

11:21

so just that nice sort of smooth texture

11:27

now

11:29

wrap it in cling film

11:31

set that in the fridge for 20 minutes

11:33

really important that you let the

11:35

shortcuts pastry relax

11:36

[Music]

11:38

now to make the quiche you can use just

11:40

an ordinary flan dish but i love making

11:42

them in many frying pans which give them

11:44

an extra rustic charm

11:46

brush with oil to stop the pastry from

11:48

sticking

11:49

once the pastry is at room temperature

11:51

roll it out to a nice even thickness

11:54

place it in the center of your little

11:57

pan

11:57

turn it in don't use your fingers

11:59

because what we don't want is any holes

12:00

in this just get a little bit of

12:03

dough because that sort of acts like a

12:05

little sort of mallet

12:06

flattens it out nicely

12:08

i'm building a sort of

12:10

extra lip because that way i can get the

12:12

filling at those absolute maximum levels

12:16

we're going to cook them blind first

12:19

to blind bake simply means to pre-cook

12:21

your pastry before adding the filling

12:24

this ensures you'll have a fantastic

12:26

crisp pastry

12:28

add a sheet of foil or baking paper and

12:30

weigh it down

12:33

you can use rice pulses or ceramic

12:35

baking stones

12:37

just make sure you keep them for the

12:38

next time

12:42

into the oven 200 degrees for 10 minutes

12:45

now for the filling

12:49

i'll do a classic quiche bacon and leeks

12:52

this is a amazing cured pancetta

12:57

pancetta is an italian cured meat made

12:59

from belly pork seasoning with things

13:00

like juniper nutmeg fennel a great

13:03

substitute is unsmoked bacon

13:06

as the pancetta gets lovely and crispy

13:08

finely sliced leeks and add

13:12

oh

13:13

leek some bacon nice

13:16

really important to cook those leeks

13:17

down

13:20

exactly what i want those leaks are

13:21

almost sort of caramelized slightly

13:23

crispy the flavor's amazing and just

13:26

drain them off so any excess fat gets

13:32

drained couple of tablespoons of cream

13:36

it gives it

13:37

it's really nice of richness

13:39

i want two-thirds garnish i.e bacon and

13:42

leeks in my quiche and one-third of the

13:44

savory custard

13:45

a touch of salt

13:48

a touch of pepper

13:50

and i grate some gruyere cheese

13:53

that makes a really nice sort of creamy

13:55

less of an eggy quiche take my amazing

13:59

crispy pancetta and leeks in

14:04

give that a good mix

14:06

need one more little thing some

14:08

freshness

14:10

flat

14:11

leaf parsley

14:13

incredible

14:15

really important just to taste

14:19

the mixture

14:21

with the quiche filling ready next

14:23

finish off the pastry

14:25

[Music]

14:27

remove the fall and weight and return to

14:28

the oven to get it lovely and golden all

14:30

over

14:31

[Music]

14:37

now

14:38

when we fill them give that a really

14:39

good mix up

14:41

[Music]

14:45

beautiful

14:46

grate over some more cheese which will

14:48

bubble up and melt beautifully and then

14:50

into the oven

14:53

bake your quiche for 15 to 20 minutes

14:56

[Music]

14:59

incredible

15:01

it's got that nice sort of cheese and

15:03

toast smell from the top it's sort of

15:04

baked but the secret of any good quiche

15:08

is in the short crust because that's the

15:10

hero

15:11

[Music]

15:17

really important put the water on first

15:18

so you can just have it gently simmering

15:20

away ready for the pasta

15:22

while the water comes to the boil start

15:24

the sauce by slicing mushrooms first off

15:26

fingers one in front two behind

15:30

up and down

15:33

then add olive oil to a hot frying pan

15:38

i want that nice color on the mushrooms

15:41

off the heat literally 10 seconds

15:44

and when you toss something really

15:45

important you get all the ingredients at

15:47

the end of the pan

15:48

push down and pull back

15:50

that noise that's

15:53

that's all the water coming out of the

15:54

mushrooms

15:56

next finely chop a fat clove of garlic

15:58

[Music]

16:01

then prepare your leeks

16:03

just take your knife

16:04

and go down

16:06

through the center turn it over

16:09

and again into quarters

16:11

so you've got all that opening up and

16:12

then just rinse the top of that to get

16:14

rid of any potential dirt or sand

16:18

it just breaks up into nice little

16:19

quarters

16:21

add all that leek

16:23

into those mushrooms

16:25

beautiful

16:27

[Music]

16:28

and now the secret is to get rid of that

16:30

water inside the leek

16:33

as it cooks down all the water's gone

16:34

you can left that really nice intense

16:36

flavor

16:37

garlic nice and crispy

16:39

now we're gonna add a touch of chicken

16:40

stock in there

16:43

beautiful

16:44

lasagna sheets just gonna drop the

16:46

sheets in to the water

16:49

lasagna sheets are an unusual choice for

16:50

a dish like this but they work

16:52

brilliantly although any type of pasta

16:54

you've got in the cupboard will do

16:56

and just twist that pan

16:58

that stops any pasta actually sticking

17:00

to the bottom of the pan

17:02

chicken stock would reduce down by half

17:05

and it's almost delays at the bottom of

17:06

the pan basically washed all that

17:07

wonderful flavor off turn the gas down

17:11

and add a couple of tablespoons of cream

17:13

this just enriches the dish bring it

17:16

back up to the bowl and let it simmer

17:18

for three to four minutes

17:20

now

17:21

the secret with the pasta is just taking

17:23

it out a little early

17:25

so you've got that nice texture

17:27

hold up the sheet and just nip it

17:30

and you can feel your fingers in the

17:31

center

17:32

it's ready

17:33

turn the sauce down

17:36

and lay

17:37

these beautiful sheets

17:40

of lasagna into that sauce

17:43

i'm just gonna turn the gas off now

17:45

and let the pasta sit in there and

17:46

absorb that amazing sauce

17:49

finish with chopped fresh tarragon

17:52

it's a delicious herb it goes

17:53

brilliantly well mushrooms and leeks

17:55

just let that sit and almost sort of

17:57

infuse

17:59

to serve i'm making a quick bruschetta

18:01

by toasting fresh chipata bread two nice

18:03

slices drizzle that

18:05

in olive oil

18:07

a little bit of garlic

18:10

just rub the bread

18:12

the crust as well crust is what really

18:14

takes that garlic

18:16

now

18:18

pan for the bread a little touch of

18:20

olive oil

18:21

as it starts to smoke

18:23

bread in

18:23

[Music]

18:27

but look at the pasta now it's been

18:28

stained by that amazing sauce to serve i

18:31

want a nice spoon of my mushrooms leeks

18:34

and cream then i'll take my pasta

18:37

just twist it

18:39

and let it sit on top

18:42

that tarragon has just lifted everything

18:47

bread on

18:48

and that's the beauty about something so

18:50

simple they can be done in 20 minutes

18:51

with everyday ingredients a stunning

18:54

pasta dish
