00:00:01vegetables one vegetables you really
00:00:05have to work quite carefully is spinach
00:00:07even if it comes in a bag even if it
00:00:09says it’s already been washed you’re
00:00:10always wise to wash it again because you
00:00:13never know what’s been sprayed on it you
00:00:14never know what’s been living on it or
00:00:16you know who’s washed it before who
00:00:17knows they might have done a good job
00:00:18they might not so it’s always a good
00:00:20idea of washing and there to wash it you
00:00:23use a single of really cool water so
00:00:26Charlotte mornings one of you next to me
00:00:27I’ve got a sink full of really cold
00:00:29water here and only induce tipper
00:00:30spinach in here we go so now you just
00:00:34give it a good wash around your hands
00:00:36it’s really important that there’s lots
00:00:38of water in the sink so that anything
00:00:41any bits of dirt or whatever can just
00:00:42fall and sink right to the bottom and
00:00:44then you can just scoop your leaves off
00:00:45the top once you’re sure they’re clean
00:00:47sometimes you might want to do it if the
00:00:49spinach is really dirty
00:00:50change the water a couple of times to
00:00:52make sure every last bit is all this
00:00:55looks quite clean so probably just one
00:00:56will be enough and then just lift the
00:01:08spinach out of your hands and let it
00:01:10drain and any dodgy leaves you see might
00:01:16just want to eat those our spinach is a
00:01:20delicious vegetable really fantastic
00:01:21flavor but when you when you’re prepping
00:01:23it you were always going to do so much
00:01:25because it cooks down to nothing when
00:01:27you put it in the pan
00:01:28all that spinach there’s probably enough
00:01:29for two people when you think it would
00:01:31be enough for about ten but it’s not
00:01:33okay we’ve got the leaves washed and
00:01:35draining in the colander the next thing
00:01:37we do is there sales a salad spinner
00:01:41inside the salad spinner with this
00:01:43little plastic cage here which it holds
00:01:47all the leaves and when they spin round
00:01:48the water fires off and then we’ll use
00:01:51end up nice and dry in the middle so
00:01:53surely you only just pop the spinach
00:02:01you do just like we’ve done the spinach
00:02:03on the lid on it should clean that’s it
00:02:06and then push the button now you can go
00:02:09keep pushing it in my get a little
00:02:11faster faster you go the more water
00:02:17come on three and you can see all
00:02:19running down the side there you’re
00:02:20coming down and running down to the
00:02:21bottom where he collects the more you
00:02:26spin it the dryer will be but that’s
00:02:28pretty good
00:02:30so no slowdown press that button there
00:02:33another sort you know so you just lift
00:02:37the top off and lift the plastic cage on
00:02:42and they’re all the water to the bottom
00:02:44there you don’t want okay well there’s
00:02:46your spinach ready to use so you can
00:02:49pull it like on the sink and put that
00:02:53spinach in one of those balls there and
00:02:56that sauce writing it go no leaks one of
00:03:05the packs leaves a really nice vegetable
00:03:12they grow they grow yeah cool they grow
00:03:15a layer of the grain later but they just
00:03:17they come up through the air and they
00:03:18get really really muddy so it’s really
00:03:20quite important that you wash leeks
00:03:22properly because you get mud stuck down
00:03:24inside all the layers in there it’s not
00:03:26nice to eat so how you doing
00:03:32okay that’s the bottom of the leak this
00:03:38is the top so pop the bottom down there
00:03:42okay and you would pop your knife in not
00:03:45at the bottom almost at the bottom and
00:03:49then just cut all gone delete and cut
00:03:51all the way down brilliant
00:03:59so now if you open your leak up you can
00:04:00see all that dirt inside you really
00:04:03don’t want that to go on your food we do
00:04:06exactly the same we did with spinach
00:04:07fill up the single cold water this is
00:04:09where you’re glad that you didn’t cut
00:04:11right through the base of the leek
00:04:12because that little bit you’ve left on
00:04:13holds the whole thing together so now
00:04:16you can pop in the water shake it around
00:04:19when you’re happy just hold the bottom
00:04:22and shake it dry back to our boards I
00:04:29play the link down where one before and
00:04:33make sure you bunch all the little
00:04:36leaves together as soon as you can and
00:04:38now we’re just gonna take a knife and
00:04:40we’re just going to cut across the first
00:04:43cut you make is the very end of the leek
00:04:45there might be some tattered leaves
00:04:47there so we can rid of those once it’s
00:04:55nice freshly we’re chopping into it if
00:05:14you see any bits of mud that you might
00:05:16missed then what you can do is see this
00:05:18chopped leek back in the court watch I
00:05:20give another wash and another drain in
00:05:21the corner and then it’s ready to go
00:05:23and there you go there’s your leeks
00:05:25print washed ready to go
