Jamie Oliver live, fourth webcast – squid


00:00:07shabam hello everyone welcome to Jamie

00:00:10Oliver live from London from Hackney

00:00:13it’s a beautiful day to day today we are

00:00:16doing lots of fish shellfish we got fish

00:00:19we’re gonna do a beautiful English style

00:00:21prawn cocktail which is thought like a

00:00:23meal from my childhood we’re gonna be

00:00:25doing a beautiful squid dish crostini

00:00:28then we’re gonna do a fish jus

00:00:29yes you heard that right fish jus which

00:00:32is really really quick and really

00:00:33delicious so if you like booyah Bay’s

00:00:35and stuff like that

00:00:35it’s a really simple kind of clean fresh

00:00:37version of that but also this is going

00:00:40around the world so mainly we’re gonna

00:00:43focus on the fish but also we’ve got

00:00:45loads of updates on food revolution that

00:00:47is going out in America about America

00:00:50but obviously it’s going out on TV in

00:00:51Australia and all around the world as

00:00:53well so we’ve got some great news first

00:00:55and foremost it might seem like a small

00:00:57battle to you but we won the milk battle

00:01:01now if you think about flavored milk in

00:01:03schools little four-year-old to an 18

00:01:06year old every single day I’m in

00:01:07flavored milk in the LAUSD alone it

00:01:10would last you know LAUSD is six hundred

00:01:12and eighty thousand kids a day that was

00:01:1457 tons of added sugar just in milk

00:01:17forget the dodgy food and all the other

00:01:19bits just the milk so the board and the

00:01:22new superintendent voted in it yesterday

00:01:24and we won we won it’s a small battle

00:01:27but basically what does that mean I know

00:01:29it probably sounds like I’m making a big

00:01:31deal of it what it means is board you

00:01:36know school boards around the country

00:01:38possibly the world will start taking big

00:01:40and hard decisions about feeding crap to

00:01:43our kids so a massive massive thank you

00:01:45to the LA activism team especially to

00:01:48Jenny cook thank you very much and Diana

00:01:51Starr you is a star I’m going to come

00:01:54back to that first of all I’m going to

00:01:56start off with a little I want to do a

00:01:58little thing every week when we’re doing

00:02:00this called how to and it’s just like

00:02:03little kind of cheeky ways of doing

00:02:05different things how to prep certain

00:02:08things things that maybe you never knew

00:02:09how to do so this week it’s how to prep

00:02:13squid they have a look at these bad boys

00:02:15we got some big squid here

00:02:17these are from our British waters and

00:02:20I’m going to show you how to clean it

00:02:22and get it all nice people can be a bit

00:02:24scared about squid but when you put them

00:02:28on the menu in the restaurants if they

00:02:29go like hotcakes

00:02:30so first and foremost we’ve got the

00:02:32outside here just peel off the skin just

00:02:35pulls off really really easily then you

00:02:38have these like little feather and sort

00:02:40of bits of meat here which are delicious

00:02:42and we can just pull those off like that

00:02:44and then we’ve got the head here and the

00:02:47sort of I don’t know what you got the

00:02:49body there and you just pull that out

00:02:51like that you can see I’ve just burst

00:02:53the ink sac which is not advisable

00:02:55obviously the ink is wet – sprays out to

00:02:58sort of scare predators away when it’s

00:03:00kind of been possibly eaten just

00:03:03squeezed out either knife to squeeze out

00:03:05all the guts now inside the squid tube

00:03:08if we can get right in there big boy

00:03:10let’s get right in there there’s this

00:03:12little feather here now this right you

00:03:16pull that out you don’t want that and

00:03:17then it’s really easy to get rid of any

00:03:19kind of like guts and bits and pieces

00:03:21like that and if you’re a bit squeamish

00:03:22then you know there you go that’s life

00:03:26but at least this is a new little

00:03:27technique you can learn if you’re lucky

00:03:29enough to live near the sea you can pick

00:03:32squid up really cheap it’s the same

00:03:34method for cuttlefish I’m pretty much

00:03:37sort of the same for octopus but once

00:03:40you know your way around the squid you

00:03:41can pretty much do any of these and

00:03:42you’ve got the eyes here ugly old eyes

00:03:45look at that I’m going to go below the

00:03:48eyes just getting me a bit coy I’m gonna

00:03:51go here where the legs aren’t and just

00:03:53cut down and there you go you got some

00:03:55legs

00:03:55you got the tube and you got these

00:03:57little flaps here so that’s how you do

00:04:00that now let me just get rid of this get

00:04:03the cream clean give them a little wash

00:04:06and give them a little you know to get

00:04:09rid of any of the you give them a little

00:04:12freshen up and and then I want to show

00:04:16you a couple of ways to deal with it now

00:04:17just come up with here the first dish

00:04:19that we’re gonna do today is a beautiful

00:04:20crostini or very quickly cooked

00:04:22two-minute squid we’re gonna throw some

00:04:26some beautiful Mediterranean sort of

00:04:28flavors in there

00:04:29beautiful Tomatoes just have a look over

00:04:30there we got beautiful Tomatoes coming

00:04:32out at the moment the weather is good

00:04:35they’re getting bright on the vine

00:04:37leaves it from the Isle of Wight we’ve

00:04:38got look at all the different colored

00:04:40ones here but we’ve got the other ones

00:04:41back in there big boy

00:04:42and I mean tomorrow’s don’t have to be

00:04:44boring okay

00:04:45so we’ve got yellow ones together with

00:04:47traditional cherries we’ve got some

00:04:48green ones which enter you’re right

00:04:50these end up going black kind of a

00:04:52purpley black these cute little orange

00:04:54ones so mix it up a bit have a look down

00:04:56the Superman we can actually get some

00:04:57most of these in supermarkets now which

00:04:59is great so I’m just going to finely

00:05:01slice the squid nice and delicate

00:05:04now squid needs no cooking at all if

00:05:07it’s finely sliced like this we’re

00:05:09talking about 45 seconds in a hot

00:05:11screaming hot pan those little flaps

00:05:13that we took off run the knife through

00:05:15those and then the legs here I generally

00:05:18they do need a bit more cooking just

00:05:20open them out and sort of cut them up

00:05:22into bits so that’s from my little

00:05:24crostini I want to show you another

00:05:25little tip here this is a slightly

00:05:28bigger squid but the same thing applies

00:05:30right now this is the cool little

00:05:32technique if you get one knife and put

00:05:35it inside the squid like this oops if

00:05:39you get one knife and put it inside the

00:05:41squid like that okay then what you can

00:05:44do is slice the squid and of course it

00:05:47hits the knife and it doesn’t go all the

00:05:49way through what’s brilliant about it is

00:05:52this is better for and you just sort of

00:05:54roasting them or pan frying them you get

00:05:56this beautiful kind of concertina effect

00:05:58here and that’s really really cool so

00:06:01try that at home if you’re ever cooking

00:06:02whole squid so let me get rid of all

00:06:05these beautiful squids and let’s get

00:06:08cooking I’ve got a hot pan over here

00:06:10just gonna take a few more so are we

00:06:13gonna do any questions today let’s from

00:06:14Twitter and stuff like that yes we

00:06:16actually just have one through from

00:06:18Henry Winkler us saying I think you’re

00:07:14man back to the pan okay so we have a

00:07:17hot pan here medium heat and we’ve got

00:07:20our squid here I’m gonna go

00:07:21Mediterranean sort of flavors so I’m

00:07:24gonna get some different colored

00:07:25tomatoes a little bit of parsley of

00:07:27course you could use any soft herbs you

00:07:28want I’m just going to slice up these

00:07:32tomatoes into little quarters and bits

00:07:35any size you want really there’s no

00:07:37rules here we’re going rustic it’s nice

00:07:41to mix up too much look at those colours

00:07:42absolutely beautiful

00:07:45often if you go down the markets English

00:07:47people certainly a bit funny they tend

00:07:50to buy that the tomatoes that are hard

00:07:51and kind of look perfect but not ripe

00:07:54and delicious so I often tend to get

00:07:57more tomatoes towards the end now here’s

00:08:00the parsley these stalks here don’t

00:08:02throw them away they’re gorgeous

00:08:04just squeeze them together and finely

00:08:07slice the stores I just roll them up

00:08:10pinch them of your hands if you just get

00:08:12in there close up you can see that’s a

00:08:16really sweet grassy delicious kind of

00:08:18flavor then when you get to the leaves

00:08:20then we kind of just chunk it up okay so

00:08:23we’ve got fine and chunky tomatoes a

00:08:25little bit of garlic I’m just gonna

00:11:27all right squid you got two things with

00:11:29squid you either cook it screamingly hot

00:11:32and very very fast or you cook it low

00:11:34and slow if you cook it just a little

00:11:36bit too much it will be

00:11:38it’ll be like eating rubber rubber bands

00:11:40disgusting so it’s gonna wash my hands

00:11:46tomatoes parsley garlic chilli you know

00:11:50there’s one of things screaming out to

00:11:51happen in this story and that is lemon

00:11:55juice now lemon juice believe it or not

00:12:26salt and pepper and then at the last

00:12:30second we’re going to put

00:12:33lemon juice in love second if you put it

00:12:35in too early it’s gonna caramelize and
