Jamie Oliver watches Pete Begg making courgette chips, from Jamie at Home


00:00:05we are ready Jamie it’s been a real

00:00:08labor of love you know it’s not

00:00:10something I’d recommend those either

00:00:11chatter there you ever put on your

00:00:13restaurant Mickey because it’ll take you

00:00:15all day to make enough to to do the

00:00:17service but you know if you’re sending a

00:00:19whole minute of an evening summer

00:00:20evening glass of rose a and you know

00:00:23you’re sitting out in the garden

00:00:24rustling plate of these it’s just it’s

00:00:26just a wonderful way to go

00:00:27really I’ve got the last lock here that

00:00:29I’m just gonna add to the pile so fresh

00:00:31courgettes rescued finely sliced finally

00:00:35fried until Chris on one of these things

00:00:37is really best because if we start you

00:00:39know going with a knife even I wouldn’t

00:00:40bother because just the old think when

00:00:42it changes the cooking time and you get

00:00:44the old Greasley one and there’s a black

00:00:46summer cook yeah that’s right it’s just

00:00:47you know it’s so much easier doing it

00:00:49with this mandolin yeah once you get

00:00:52them all you basically the bowl I will

00:01:00try this for you honey they go big fella

00:01:07make combo and then Ingo all your

00:01:09wonderful now we write them but they

00:01:13have been deep-fried in extra virgin

00:01:15olive oil weightages I think this light

00:01:17olive oil olive oil extra brush is a

00:01:20little bit heavy on the flavor but yeah

00:01:23light olive oil on there nice and crispy

00:01:24and they’ve drained on this so you know

00:01:26there there is healthy as you can be but

00:01:27I mean you know you’ve got to have an

00:01:28odd treat now and again yeah and they’re

00:01:31quite nice and crisp they’re not too not

00:01:33too dark and yet they’re dark enough to

00:01:36be crisp because they might too soon

00:01:37there but soggy and 5/8 so that’s them

00:01:39there and you know they don’t have to be

00:01:41hot I mean if I was going to do this for

00:01:43friends coming around I didn’t well

00:01:44ahead of time and then I’d finish them

00:01:46off right the last minute when everyone

00:01:48sets right on the table so the base that

00:01:50go in the bowl and this is the real

00:01:52genius because I mean they’re quite nice

00:01:54to eat just now but this is the real

00:01:59genius thing you can taste them you can

00:02:01really taste I’m not sweet in it

00:02:03you know like when they actually dry

00:02:05actually

00:02:06please delay can another chopping board

00:02:31chili a little bit of garlic clove and

00:02:35and some mint some nice fresh mint and

00:02:37we basically just dressed these these

00:02:39crisps in these things I mean did I show

00:02:42you I mean while you’re doing that piece

00:02:43I mean if you if you put a little garlic

00:02:46chopped chilli and mint over most things

00:02:51in life they all begin and the other day

00:02:56i doing a quick little dinner you know

00:02:58running from work I was late the missus

00:03:01haven’t done anything would you want

00:03:02look in the fridge alright some purple

00:03:04sprouting broccoli some little baby

00:03:06courgettes

00:03:07some asparagus and some little spring

00:03:10cabbage

00:03:11put got the hot tap on the panel you’re

00:03:15not supposed to do put it in the pan

00:03:16brought it to the boil put another pan

00:03:18on the heat to get screaming hot opened

00:03:21up a packet of Jamie Oliver 21 day beef

00:03:23and and just salt and pepper olive oil

00:03:28put the beef on the pan and literally

00:03:32sort of cooked al dente

00:03:34cook cook the greens and I added

00:03:35courgettes first came back to the boil

00:03:37and the purple crayon book they came

00:03:39back boil and then the cabbage and the

00:03:41asparagus i drained it and while that

00:03:44was all going on garlic chili lemon

00:03:48juice olive oil

00:03:50swig of vinegar and I tossed this thing

00:03:56or the boiled egg sorry in that and I

00:03:58was resting the steak and all the juices

00:04:00come out of it and I poured that into it

00:04:01as well and I’m telling you honestly

00:04:03that it’s a ten minute meal and so yeah

00:04:08if in doubt think garlic chilli a mint

00:04:11and it will get you out of trouble

00:04:13sorry pizzas

00:04:14wanting to know if you deseeded the

00:04:16Chili’s or if you kept them in well you

00:04:18can do if you know chili and heat is not

00:04:20your thing but you know I like a bit

00:04:22chilly and so I left them in and I hope

00:04:24everybody here likes a beer chili

00:04:25Tuesday’s good luck chili here

00:04:26yeah all right put another one in yeah

00:04:30it’s important that you cut the garlic

00:04:32as fine as you can you know no one wants

00:04:33a big lump of garlic when you when you

00:04:35know how to never work on anything

00:04:37really so cut the garlic finely that

00:04:40just goes in there with the UM with the

00:04:42cujo’s chili goes into a little bit of

00:04:47mint and you know you could just tear it

00:04:48off it it’s climbing I know they always

00:04:51takes here but you know sometimes you

00:04:54have to think like you know when they

00:04:56put sausage with pasta it’s quite nice

00:04:58to have it rolled up like a little cigar

00:05:00and finely slice it and it becomes a bit

00:05:01jealous but really normally when I made

00:05:03this dish I’m in such a hurry to eat it

00:05:04that I don’t understand they’re not

00:05:05leaving

00:05:06so I just so I just chop the

00:05:10chili quickly if you were tossed a lot

00:05:12together really thing everyone says tear

00:05:16hopes yes tell them if you’re putting

00:05:18them in salads and you want the whole

00:05:20flavor

00:05:20but if you’re making a sauce you’re

00:05:22adding it to something like this by

00:05:24chopping it’s like pestle and water

00:05:25you’re actually bruising the herb and

00:05:27you’re actually releasing the oils so

00:05:29therefore they taste twice as strong

00:05:30quicker ten years down the drain

00:05:38yeah if you think about just singers

00:05:42fellas logical especially best

00:05:45specialist something like I’m twisting

00:05:47it and sort of giving it that

00:05:49yeah well twist it but it just tear it

00:05:51like that okay okay so we might have a

00:05:54repeater if you’re gonna tear your

00:05:56battle pushed it just it yeah

00:05:59don’t risk it okay then you also got a

00:06:03service chopping okay all right back to

00:06:11you pink okay well I’ve got everything

00:06:14mixed together in this ball and a little

00:06:17bit salt you know crisps is always nice

00:06:20little bit salt toss it through talking

00:06:24some of the things you can have this

00:06:25with Pete I mean not you know it’s quite

00:06:27versatile in its usident well you know

00:06:29you could do a source for this really I

00:06:30mean you can have it just a little plate

00:06:32as a nibble I mean to have a glass of

00:06:33wine and a plate of these urban evenings

00:06:36are very nice way to sort of watch the

00:06:37Sun go down up they even lather down the

00:06:39pumping yeah you could well do that and

00:06:41then today is crisps or you could have

00:06:43it as part of an antipasto plate you

00:06:45know you know better mozzarella but a

00:06:46roast advantage a bit of you it cured me

00:06:49and a pile of these is lovely and it

00:06:51looks a business – or you could maybe

00:06:54serve it as a garnish with a few rocket

00:06:56leaves through it when a piece of

00:06:57grilled fish or steamed fish nice
