1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,520
Jac, come on, a plane ride with me.
2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,840
We're going economy, though,
because I can't afford first class.
3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,320
But we're flying to Istanbul today.
4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,160
We're celebrating Turkish cuisine.
5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,320
Very exotic.
When I think of Turkish cuisine,
6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,960
it's all of those beautiful spices,
sumac, saffron, rose petals.
7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,400
They also love their veggies,
their rice and their bread dishes,
8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400
which is what I'm gonna bring
to the table today.
9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,240
I'm gonna make an eggplant dish,
imam bayildi,
10
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:29,040
which is a Turkish eggplant dish
filled with lots of extra veg.
11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,320
And it pairs so well with...
12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,840
Sumac spice lamb shoulder...
13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,280
Ooh, yeah!
..with a Turkish couscous.
14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,000
That sounds amazing.
15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,040
Yes!
16
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,040
(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Tim, I love eggplant,
18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,200
and I know it's not necessarily a
vegetable that everyone does as well,
19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,360
but it's always nice to introduce
people to different veggies
20
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,760
and how you can cook them.
Yeah.
21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,160
And this really speaks well
for eggplant, this dish,
22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,760
because there's so many great spices
and flavours in it.
23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,760
I love it.
24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Now, to prep the eggplant,
25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520
it's important to do so in advance.
26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,880
Slice and salt it.
27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,080
And that brings those bitter flavours
28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,240
out of the eggplant.
29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,880
And you'll notice
that it makes it almost, like,
30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,720
sweat a little bit, I call it.
It's important, isn't it?
31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Yeah! I don't know how else
to describe it.
32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,040
And then if you could wipe that off
33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,280
and get some extra-virgin olive oil
over them
34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,200
and into the oven at 200 degrees
for around 30 minutes.
35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,680
Indeed.
That's our first step
36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,640
to get our eggplant cooking
for our imam bayildi.
37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,400
Beautiful.
Whilst that happens,
38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880
I'm gonna heat up some olive oil
39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,440
on the stove top
40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,520
and get our onion
and green capsicum cooking.
41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,840
I love eggplant, or aubergine
if you're playing overseas.
42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
I just think
it's such a gorgeous vegetable
43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,000
'cause it's like a sponge,
it just soaks up
44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560
all those gorgeous flavours,
whatever you want to put with it.
45
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,200
That's right!
46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,280
We often have it cooked in the fridge
47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,160
because it's great to throw
into salads or wraps during the week,
48
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320
just as a way to make things
a little bit more meaty and hearty.
49
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,960
It's up there with mushroom for me.
50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,440
It's got that similar
51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,880
texture almost
52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440
and that really
sort of robust flavour to it.
53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Mm. Alright in we go.
54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,120
So, we'll finely dice
our green capsicum.
55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,720
I've chosen the green capsicum
56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,080
because it's more traditional
in this dish.
57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000
And it's a little less sweet,
green capsicum.
58
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,840
Are you feeling peckish?
Can I entice you with...
59
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,760
I'm hungry!
..something nutritious while we cook?
60
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Oh, sure!
61
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,920
(LAUGHS)
I love capsicum.
62
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,440
So, we've got a medium heat
on our olive oil,
63
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
and then we'll get our red onion in.
64
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,920
You could also use
a white onion or...
65
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,280
I see you use a lot of shallot too.
66
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
I love shallots for certain dishes,
67
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,640
but there's nothing wrong
with a red onion or a brown onion.
68
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,920
I like a red onion because they're
actually high in antioxidants.
69
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,920
Quercetin is the anti-oxidant.
70
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,560
That's part of what gives it
that beautiful colour as well.
71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720
So, we'll cook off the red onion
with the green capsicum
72
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,400
until it's soft.
73
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,520
And then we'll add in
our spices, garlic and tomato.
74
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,200
You'll probably need
a good 5 to 6 minutes on this one,
75
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,800
keep an eye on it, before the rest
of the veggies and the spices go in.
76
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,880
So, the eggplants have cooked.
77
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,200
I'm loving how they're looking.
78
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280
There's a nice little bit
of golden on the flesh.
79
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,080
We've cooked our basmati rice. That
didn't take long in the microwave.
80
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,040
I got the hard job. (LAUGHS)
I know!
81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,240
So, that's been cooked,
82
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,880
and we're going to get that
into our serving platter
83
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,480
and toss it with some butter.
84
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,440
Butt... Did you...
Did you say 'butter'?
85
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,440
I know!
86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720
It's, like, echoing
around the kitchen now.
87
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,720
I love it.
88
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,960
Basmati rice is a really great rice
to have on hand.
89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,520
It's actually a low-GI rice.
90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,040
It's got a beautiful flavour
91
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,040
as well.
92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400
I actually think it's probably
my favourite of the rices.
93
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,480
And in dishes like these where
you could do, like, a baked rice,
94
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
I kind of like to cheat it
and do it like this
95
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880
and, instead of doing
a baked buttery rice,
96
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,200
I'm just gonna mix a bit of butter
through my microwave-pouch rice,
97
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
which is the easiest way to do it.
98
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
When I think Turkish cuisine,
a nice basmati rice or Thai,
99
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,280
I go for a jasmine rice.
100
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,320
Yeah, it's so true.
101
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,880
And that's what
you want to look for as well,
102
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,320
just complement things.
103
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,720
Do it with these,
with these little pouches as well.
104
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,200
So, I'm gonna get the eggplant over
the top before I get the sauce in.
105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,840
If you've made this in advance
106
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,680
and the two things
aren't quite the same temp,
107
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,720
just crank up the oven,
get the sauce in,
108
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,400
pop it back into the oven
for a little while
109
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360
and that'll, you know, bring them
110
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,800
to the right temperature.
111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,120
And then when you are serving it up,
112
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,720
depending on how many people
you're serving,
113
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800
two people
could take half an eggplant
114
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200
or you could slice it and serve it.
115
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,680
Doesn't really matter, but you want
to get a good scoop of that sauce in.
116
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,840
And then some
of that buttery basmati rice.
117
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:01,840
Alright.
118
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,880
So, we've got our tomato
on our eggplant.
119
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Gorgeous.
We're going to finish up...
120
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,480
If you wouldn't mind chopping up
a bit of parsley for me.
121
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,960
A bit of dried oregano
122
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,480
on the top.
123
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,080
You could put this in the sauce,
124
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880
but I kind of like the sprinkle
and garnish over the top at the end.
125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,600
Holds the flavour a bit more
126
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560
when it's sprinkled over
at the end as well.
127
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680
A bit of parsley.
Parsley.
128
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,000
I'm gonna go a bit more pepper.
129
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600
And I hope you're hungry...
That looks great, Jac.
130
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,240
I love that.
..'cause we're ready to eat!
131
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Oh. Yes, please.
132
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,560
There we go.
A Turkish-inspired imam bayildi.
133
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Lots of veggies
134
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,560
in there.
135
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,480
Beautiful flavours
from the basmati rice.
136
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520
The best-looking veggie dish I think
I've made in a while, actually.
137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Jac, lamb would have to be
probably my favourite protein.
138
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,840
There's just something about it.
139
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,760
It might be the country boy
coming out of me, but I love my lamb.
140
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240
So, I'm going
with some Turkish flavours today.
141
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,560
We're doing
a sumac-spiced lamb shoulder.
142
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Love sumac.
143
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,440
And then we're gonna make a little
Turkish couscous to go with it.
144
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Delicious!
145
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
And then some cumin,
which has a great flavour as well.
146
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,680
Then we want a good glug
of olive oil.
147
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,120
Sumac almost has, like...
148
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,120
..it's citrusy,
but it's almost like a little
149
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,520
berry tinge for me as well...
150
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Mm. I really love it.
..so, sometimes I'll actually
151
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,920
sprinkle it over, like, a dessert
that has berries and yoghurt.
152
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Like, you could do a meringue
with it if you wanted to.
153
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,200
Yeah!
154
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080
It's one of those spices
that can be infused
155
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,360
into lots of different
sweet or savoury dishes.
156
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Yeah, and goes really well
with fish as well.
157
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Mm-hm.
Alright.
158
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,600
I'm gonna crank up
our beautiful non-stick pan here.
159
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,080
We want to get this high.
160
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,600
What we're gonna do
is we're gonna sear it in the pan.
161
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560
And then we're gonna
pop the pan and all in the oven.
162
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,880
That's very good.
I love that.
163
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,360
It's nice
when you've got a good-quality pan
164
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
that you can take
from stovetop into oven,
165
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520
you know, trust
'cause it's gonna hold the heat.
166
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,120
Yeah. We're only gonna be cooking
at 180 degrees,
167
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,200
but these pans can go up to 260
in the oven, which just amazes me.
168
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,200
I love that.
169
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Alright. A good whack of pepper.
170
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,200
Alright.
171
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,440
And now I'm just
going to pour all this gorgeousness
172
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,120
over our lamb shoulder.
173
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,560
I've gone with lamb shoulder
with the bone in
174
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,520
because I love lamb shoulder,
175
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,240
especially when cooked to perfection.
176
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,880
It almost just falls off the bone,
177
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,320
which is what you want.
178
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,960
Ooh, T-Bone,
I'd think nothing less from you.
179
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,000
(CHUCKLES) Alright.
180
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,160
Now I just want to get in
and give that a good massage.
181
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Our lamb goes into the hot pan.
182
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,800
And then all we want to do is just
get that nice and brown on all sides
183
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,520
before we pop it into the oven.
184
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,240
That's gonna take about
185
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,840
an hour, 180.
186
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Or if you want it to go low and slow
187
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,480
you could turn it down 150, 160
188
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,040
for 2 to 3 hours.
189
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,560
Yeah. Great.
Depends on how much time you've got.
190
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,080
Alright, Jac, our lamb's in the oven.
That's smelling great.
191
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Let's get onto
our Turkish-style couscous.
192
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,800
So, I've got a pot, two cups of water
that I've just brought to a simmer.
193
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Now I've just turned it off because
that's just right, doing its thing.
194
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600
I want to add some chicken stock.
195
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,600
Yep.
196
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Sometimes I find
couscous in water gets a bit boring,
197
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,280
but we're gonna amplify some flavours
198
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680
by cooking the couscous
in chicken stock.
199
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,960
And then I've got some fun stuff
over here
200
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,640
that's going to go in our couscous
as well.
201
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,760
What can I do to help?
202
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,040
'Cause I feel like I'm doing...
Oh!
203
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,440
..a good job of standing
and watching you create a meal,
204
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,920
but I'd love to help.
Absolutely.
205
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
What I'd love you to do is to chop up
some dill and some parsley.
206
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Yep.
207
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,960
Alright, so, I'm just dissolving that
chicken stock pot into our water.
208
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,240
I actually really love couscous.
209
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400
I think,
because it cooks so quickly...
210
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,160
It's good, isn't it?
..it is such an easy one
211
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
to throw into these sorts of meals.
212
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Alright, now to the chicken stock
213
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,680
I want to add a nice knob of butter
214
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,320
because...it's me.
215
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Everything better with butter?
Yeah.
216
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000
And just in there.
217
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,560
And a little pinch of salt
218
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,560
and a little bit of pepper.
219
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,760
It tastes better,
220
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560
but, also, the butter
in with the stock and the couscous
221
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,240
helps to loosen the couscous too,
doesn't it?
222
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Yeah, absolutely. It's sort of...
So it doesn't stick together.
223
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,120
It makes it all nice and buttery
and it won't stick together.
224
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Alright. Butter's melted in nicely.
225
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,120
I'm gonna add the dry couscous now.
226
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,840
If you work on ratios at home,
227
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
you just work on equal parts liquid
to equal parts couscous.
228
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Here we've got two cups of chicken
stock and two cups of dry couscous.
229
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
And then you just
want to mix that through.
230
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,000
Love how couscous
is just like this sponge.
231
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,480
It just takes on
232
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,720
all that gorgeous liquid.
It's good, isn't it?
233
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Alright.
234
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,080
OK.
235
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800
Now we're just gonna pop on the lid,
236
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840
fluff it up with a fork
after 10 minutes,
237
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,040
and we'll be ready to add
all these gorgeous ingredients.
238
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Amazing!
239
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,240
Alright, Jac, our lamb's
come out of the oven.
240
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,480
That is looking amazing.
241
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440
We're just gonna let that rest
in the pan for a little bit...
242
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Yep.
..while we finish off our couscous.
243
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,600
Couscous is done.
244
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360
All of those fresh herbs
can go in as well.
245
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,040
And to elevate our couscous
246
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,920
we're going to put in
some dried apricots.
247
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,080
They're like little jewels,
248
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,800
aren't they, dried apricots?
Little jewels, a bit of sweetness.
249
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,960
And some chopped pistachios
can go in as well.
250
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,560
And I will throw those herbs in.
251
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,440
And we've got some preserved lemon,
252
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,400
which is a fantastic
Turkish ingredient that can go in
253
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,840
as well.
254
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640
I feel like it's a bit
of an underutilised ingredient...
255
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,440
Definitely.
..but has a really fantastic flavour
256
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,080
and really packs a punch.
257
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,080
So, how much do we want in this?
Oh, just... Yeah, maybe one more.
258
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,120
That would be great.
Yep.
259
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,000
And I'm just going to start
to give this a good toss around.
260
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,560
You're gonna see
all of those amazing colours.
261
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,760
I might just put in
a little bit of olive oil
262
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,320
just to lubricate it a little bit.
263
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,080
Alright, all of that lemon
264
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
can go straight in.
265
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Beautiful.
266
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Alright,
Look at all those amazing colours
267
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,000
in the couscous.
268
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,120
It's looking good.
269
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,400
Fresh and vibrant.
270
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Now I want to do
a little harissa yoghurt
271
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,400
to go with this dish as well.
272
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,800
So, we've got
some harissa paste there.
273
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
You just want you to mix that
with about half a cup of yoghurt.
274
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,640
Harissa paste has got some
spice to it too.
275
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Ooh, yeah.
Has a real kick.
276
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,480
A little bit of spice.
277
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:33,280
OK, couscous can go on
to our serving platter.
278
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,760
A nice pile of this.
279
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,680
This is one
you pop in for your Turkish feast
280
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,680
in the middle of the dinner table
281
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:41,200
and everyone tucks in.
282
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,960
Then I'll grab some tongs.
283
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Alright, lamb's on there.
284
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,520
Our harissa yoghurt looks great.
285
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,920
I'm just gonna pop some
in our ramekin here.
286
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480
It's beautiful. There's
gorgeous colours going on here.
287
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Lots of different flavours
in the couscous salad.
288
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,400
I know the lamb
is gonna taste great.
289
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,960
I have full faith that you've made
an absolutely incredible lamb.
290
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,200
Bring in your gorgeous eggplant.
291
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,560
Would you look at that?!
Oh!
292
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:07,840
What a Turkish feast!
293
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,040
Turkish banquet for 2.
294
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Mm!
Or 20.
295
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,440
(BOTH LAUGH)
296
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,200
Well, I've got a special guest
for you guys today.
297
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,800
The man, the peanut-butter legend,
Luke Hines!
298
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,360
(LAUGHS)
Mike, great to see you, mate.
299
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240
Welcome to the show, mate.
I'm thrilled.
300
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,200
For me, when you gave me a call
and said,
301
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,960
"I want you to cook
with peanut butter,"
302
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,400
I was absolutely thrilled.
303
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,760
And I thought what better way
to do anything in the kitchen
304
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,880
than a one-pan
peanut-butter choc-chip cookie?
305
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,400
Oh! Yes!
306
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,160
But I'm actually
gonna put you to work.
307
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,440
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
308
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,720
That wasn't in the brief, Luke.
309
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240
If you think I'm gonna come
and guest on your show
310
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,840
and do all the heavy lifting,
311
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,240
think again.
This guy!
312
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,000
This guy!
Alright, what do you want me to do?
313
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Alright, we're gonna melt down
our wet ingredients.
314
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,360
So, we're going
with a good-quality butter,
315
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,560
maple syrup and vanilla bean.
316
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,560
OK.
317
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,400
So, I'm gonna get you
to melt those down.
318
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,280
And I'm gonna prepare
our dry ingredients.
319
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,280
I love that. So, everything in
the one pan and then into the oven?
320
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Easy!
321
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,720
So, the great thing about
having versatile cookware like this
322
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880
is it doesn't just work
for sweet recipes.
323
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,800
If you've got pans
that can cook on the heat here
324
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,560
and then you finish it off
low and slow in the oven,
325
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,080
it is perfect
for having a midweek dinner...
326
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Yeah.
..on the table in no time at all.
327
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,680
I had to change over all my pans
at home to, you know,
328
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,800
be able to go in the oven
329
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760
because it's just so much easier,
so much quicker,
330
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,000
so much more convenient.
331
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,960
Mate, I'll get you
to melt that butter down.
332
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Stir in the maple syrup,
333
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,320
the vanilla bean,
334
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,880
make it beautiful, thick
and caramelised,
335
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,360
and we're gonna be good to go.
336
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,680
How good is that?!
Beautiful, mate.
337
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:04,800
Oh, I just want to...
338
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,080
If it wasn't so hot,
I'd probably try to drink it as is.
339
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Now let's take it off the heat.
340
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,880
Give that one more little whisk
341
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760
just to break up
some of those bubbles there.
342
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:13,960
And, whilst you whisk,
343
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,880
I'm gonna put in
our dry ingredients.
344
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,080
So, today we're gonna use
almond flour.
345
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,600
I'll pour that in.
346
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Awesome.
347
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,960
Now, at some point,
348
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,400
you're gonna have to transition
from whisk to spatchy.
349
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560
And you'll know when.
But I'll put that there for you.
350
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Oh...
351
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,200
And, whilst you've still got
352
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,560
the whisk in your hand...
353
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360
You know what I always heard
about you
354
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,400
is that you're a clean, neat cook.
(LAUGHS)
355
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,840
And that's what I love about you,
Mike,
356
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,200
We're gonna do some gluten-free
baking powder
357
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,720
and, of course, some cinnamon
to bring out a bit of warmth there
358
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,800
on the palate.
359
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Now that is looking
absolutely perfect.
360
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,920
Get the cinnamon and the baking
powder fully incorporated.
361
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,480
I need to change over.
I'll swap you over.
362
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Change over there.
I'll take that off you.
363
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,080
Perfect.
364
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Now, last but not least,
365
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880
and this is why
you might want to let
366
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,080
that butter and maple syrup mixture
cool down slightly
367
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,480
is you want to add in an egg.
368
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,160
But when that almond flour
and other dry ingredients go in,
369
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,760
it cools it down on its own.
370
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Yeah.
So, I'm gonna put the egg in.
371
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Good to go?
Yeah. Go for it.
372
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,360
There you go. Get that in there.
373
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Break up the yolk.
374
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,280
And then, once you're happy
with how it's come together,
375
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,040
I'll get you
to just smooth out the top
376
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880
until it's one nice, even layer
for me.
377
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,440
And get anything from the edges
for me
378
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,920
'cause we want
to use all that batter.
379
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Yes, chef.
380
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,600
Now I'm gonna give you this.
381
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,480
I will get you to chop some chunks.
382
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840
I mean, I'm talking probably
some rough chunks...
383
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Yep.
..into that.
384
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,160
While you rough chunk that,
385
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,720
I'm gonna get our crunchy
peanut butter good to go.
386
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,000
When you open a new jar
of peanut butter,
387
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,280
you want to make sure
that you really incorporate the oil
388
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,800
that sometimes sits at the top
389
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,640
with the beautiful peanuts
at the bottom
390
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,800
so that you get that perfect
consistency each and every time.
391
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,120
What I like to do
is I get a spoon or a knife
392
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480
and I just twist in there until it
all beautifully comes back together.
393
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,240
But that's a sign
of a good peanut butter, though,
394
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,640
when you get the separation.
395
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,120
Yeah.
Or any nut butter.
396
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,760
When you don't have that separation,
397
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,840
it's usually been processed in a way
where it's not great anymore.
398
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,960
I'm gonna get big chunks like this.
399
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Now, while I do these big chunks
of the crunchy peanut butter on top,
400
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,480
which are gonna melt
into the cookie dough
401
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,640
and become oozy and hot
402
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,320
and sticky and caramel-like,
403
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360
I'm gonna get you to get some
of these bigger chunks of chips
404
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,600
and put them around
that peanut butter just on top
405
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,160
because what we want to create
406
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,160
is a beautiful melted chocolate,
407
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,840
choc-chip appearance
on top of the cookie
408
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
so that when we serve this
in the middle of the table
409
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,280
you can get your spoon into it
410
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,280
and just get a massive chunk
of cookie with chocolate drizzling
411
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,840
and peanut butter.
412
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,760
Mate, I love it. Crunchy peanut
butter and chocolate chips.
413
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,200
Name a better duo.
414
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,600
It's a match made in heaven, right?
A bit like you and I in the kitchen.
415
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
You're always a charmer.
416
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,760
We want this in the oven
at 180 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
417
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,200
But keep an eye on it because,
depending on the heat of your oven,
418
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,080
we just want it
to go golden-brown on top
419
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
and for all of that chocolate
to melt beautifully.
420
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280
This is exactly what
I was looking for. Do you love it?
421
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,960
She's a beaut, mate. She's a beauty.
422
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,360
Well, I want you to do the honours.
423
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,680
Oh, please. Thank you.
424
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Golden-brown. Cookie crunch on top.
425
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,200
Gooey, sticky, melted chocolate.
426
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,480
And that crunchy peanut butter.
427
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,360
Mm!
It's hot. Yeah.
428
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,680
You've had a go. My turn.
That is beautiful, mate.
429
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,720
My turn.
430
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,720
I love the touch of cinnamon
coming through.
431
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,120
Yeah.
The vanilla.
432
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:29,720
That gooey chocolate.
433
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,280
Like, it's just that beautifully
under-baked, gooey cookie dough.
434
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Look at that.
435
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,800
Do you think that's too big?
436
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,120
No!
Never!
437
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,400
(BOTH LAUGH)
438
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,880
Oh, this is so good.
439
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,200
Now, I don't think there's any
neat or clean way to eat a cookie.
440
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,960
There isn't. There isn't.
441
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,680
Oh. OK.
442
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,200
(LAUGHS)
443
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,120
It's so good.
It is so good.
444
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:55,680
And then you get that salty,
peanutty crunch hit as well.
445
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,920
It's... Mate, it's a banger.
446
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,840
If you're gonna make anything,
you're gonna make this.
447
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,400
Yeah. Yeah. Mate,
you absolutely brought it today.
448
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,080
Well done.
Thanks, Mike. Cheers.
449
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,520
This is the perfect cheat butter.
450
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,520
A great way to get lots of flavour
into a really simple dish.
451
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,440
I love Middle Eastern flavours,
452
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,440
and, for me,
453
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,120
dates, tahini, maple -
454
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:33,600
match made in heaven.
455
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,840
So, I'm gonna start off
by just soaking the dates
456
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,120
in some milk,
457
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:40,240
and all that
really does
458
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,600
is soften the dates.
459
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,320
So, we're gonna bring that
to the heat,
460
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,680
let it simmer for about 5 to 10
minutes until they're nice and soft,
461
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,680
and then we're gonna
blitz it all up.
462
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,920
There we go,
it's nicely reduced down,
463
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,400
it's simmered away,
464
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,080
and that milk just evaporates,
465
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,720
so, it all goes in there.
466
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,440
It's a really simple recipe.
467
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,960
So, we're gonna get the dates
into the blender first.
468
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,120
I love dates.
469
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,000
It's one of my favourite things
to eat.
470
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,840
They're natural sweetness.
They're such a good treat.
471
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,520
So, our dates go in
472
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,840
and then our tahini.
473
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,760
And then I'm gonna add in our maple
at this stage.
474
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,480
And what I'm gonna do
is blitz that first, make a paste,
475
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,520
and then add the butter into this
476
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,880
to just finish off emulsifying
towards the end.
477
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Oh! Smells so good already.
478
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Love the smell of that tahini
with the dates.
479
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,360
So, now we're just gonna add
our butter in.
480
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:55,520
And it's nicely softened butter
for this.
481
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,200
And, if you don't have a blender
at home,
482
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400
you can do this by hand if you want.
483
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Just chop up the dates first
484
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760
and then work in a mortar and pestle.
485
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,880
And the key with anything where
the butter is the star of this...
486
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,600
So, I've got a beautiful
487
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,960
organic butter,
Aussie-made.
488
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960
It's the best thing
for things like this, you know?
489
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,400
Amazing cream.
490
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,160
And it's rare these days
to have a certified organic.
491
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,040
It's all about the quality
of your ingredients,
492
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,800
so, where you can, use the best.
493
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Alright. All that butter in.
494
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,000
And then we're just
gonna blitz this up.
495
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,000
I mean, so simple, so beautiful.
496
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Look at the glossiness of that butter
497
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,480
with all the dates and maple
498
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240
and the tahini in there.
499
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720
It's just going to be beautiful.
500
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,640
And this will last in your fridge
501
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,280
for a while.
502
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,600
I'm gonna leave it there,
503
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,800
let it firm up,
504
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,360
and then I'm gonna absolutely slather
it over my beautiful warm pitas.
505
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,560
