How To – make a delicious lamb marinade with Jamie Oliver, part 2


00:00:02so there’s my spices look at that again

00:00:07beautiful color as far as marinades are

00:00:09concerned in general you know regular

00:00:11man this is obviously Locker back as a

00:00:14rub at the moment if I put yoga in it so

00:00:16it’s a form of marinade but you know my

00:00:18classic marinade is basically any herb

00:00:20smashed up in a flavor shaker or pestle

00:00:22and mortar or just bang it with your

00:00:24hands or tear it up or finely chop it if

00:00:26you have to pepper smashed up garlic and

00:00:29just enough oil to coat whatever it is

00:00:31you’re cooking you know don’t be sort of

00:00:33like sucked in to do a lot of chefs just

00:00:36put gallons of oil in there and what

00:00:38happens is you get flavored oil but it’s

00:00:39not as strong as it with minimal oil

00:00:41also you get a lot of meat sitting in a

00:00:43sea of oil you know the oils just there

00:00:46to transmit the flavor keep the yogurt

00:00:47very much like the lamb

00:00:50I just want just enough and then you

00:00:56know with like steaks and chops

00:00:58I don’t season it so with a big ol lump

00:01:01of meat like that I actually do seasoned

00:01:02it against the rule then I find it’s a

00:01:06good thing for me you know I can’t go

00:01:09this far without incorporating an

00:01:11element of lemon juice which is good in

00:01:15at your fat we’ve almost made like a

00:01:19coronation chicken dressing here but

00:01:22with your pins to the mayonnaise put

00:01:24that over leftover turkey chicken

00:01:26pheasant mo whatever you know put that

00:01:29around you potatoes and yeah that would

00:01:32be mega um so I’m going to mix it up and

00:01:36then on this this lamb here you know you

00:01:40don’t have to do anything but what I

00:01:41quite like to do is just pull off that

00:01:43little bits of the skin okay lamb skin

00:01:49is the fattiest skin of all of the meats

00:01:53some people just don’t like it it’s from

00:01:58a lamb which is you know obviously under

00:02:00a year old so it’s not strong or

00:02:02anything after one year from 1 to 2 the

00:02:06lamb instead of being called lamb is

00:02:09called Hoggett

00:02:12not very common at all because people

00:02:14just won’t land and then after two years

00:02:16it’s called mutton and nothing can be

00:02:19many many years old not a lot of people

00:02:22use mutton but obviously that the flavor

00:02:25intensifies you know if you use that

00:02:27flavor intelligently

00:02:28it’s like with bold flavors bold spices

00:02:31or slow cook it with you know um you

00:02:34know sort of coq au van style flavors

00:02:38big bold you know you can make mutton

00:02:41heavenly you know you can make mutton

00:02:43style Bala raises and I put down some

00:02:46pappardelle II you know really can so

00:02:49you know ask for some money these are

00:02:51stuff with it you know experiment don’t

00:02:53be boring life’s too short right then

00:02:56you see that as soon as a bit of

00:02:57moisture goes into that can you see that

00:02:59it’s gone yellower since up at the oven

00:03:01because it’s softened up that saffron

00:03:03and like you can see the flavor and the

00:03:05color leaching out of it so I want to

00:03:07pour that over there now you could use

00:03:10this form of marinade on just about

00:03:13anything if you did this on a chicken oh

00:03:15my lord

00:03:16gain other meats it’s a generic

00:03:20wonderful exciting homemade garam masala

00:03:23yogurt dressing and what you got to do

00:03:29now is stick my knife in all over oh

00:03:32yeah just a bit what we’re we’re going

00:03:36to we’re going to slow cook this so if I

00:03:38was roasting it fast and I was stabbing

00:03:39another this that would be not sensible

00:03:41because you’ll lose moisture but any

00:03:44moisture that we lose from this slow

00:03:45cooking we end up basting back over it

00:03:47again anyway
