  • @lorenzobalestri5596
    @lorenzobalestri5596 2 года назад +572

    The "root" of the puntarelle is typically used in a dish called Puntarelle alla romana. The puntarelle are cut, put in an ice bath for an hour to get rid of a lot of the bitterness and to curl them. Then you combine them with a simple emulsion of Extra Virgin olive oil and anchovies. It's usually served as a side dish, but sometimes I've seen them as a starter aswell and they are very good!

    • @BlueRoseFaery

      I feel like a lot of that was just plating, though. The normals could have put the tuna on top of the rice & had the blossoms on the side on the same plate or on top with a drizzle of (actually good) sauce, & just the pickles separate. There was no reason to use that many plates, it made things look far less coherent.

      I was thinking the same thing. By using the seeds to insulate the tuna steak from the heat, he also avoided the "dreaded" grey line.
      Compare Ebers' result (13:04) to Jamie's (13:15) and you can see what a massive difference it makes in the appearance.

    The banana blossom gave me a (hopefully) fun video idea for you guys: "Ingredient mastery". Take an ingredient you like but are not too familiar with, like banana blossom, and make many different dishes with it (sometimes with it being the star of the dish, sometimes as a support for a different ingredient) until you are familiar with it and can integrate it into future dishes.
    Because I think this is like the third or fourth time you guys had banana blossom in a video in the last couple of years, and even Ben panicked at the idea of using it today.

    ben: putting something under very high heat under the grill
    - 5 cracks of pepper so it all burns under the grill onto the food -
    ben: "season it nicely so it tastes of what it tastes of"
    - 7 cracks of pepper on top -

    They should do one of these where one normal directs someone else (either another normal or Ben/Guest Chef) and they have to do what the person says. I feel like it would be hilarious chaos.

    I really relate to Barry in this because I feel like I do the same thing whilst cooking.
    I take something 90% of the way to perfection, but then think "this is going well, I must be a real chef, let's do some JAZZ!" and add too many elements at the end.

    edit : Also,.... I'd love to see a video where James came back and watched this video with the crew seeing each side for the first time. Would be hilarious.

    Chicoree Salad can be excellent if you have the right sauce for it. Cook 3 eggs, seperate the egg yolk, chop the eggwhite down and toss it into the salad. Then crush the yokes with salt, pepper, mustard and honey, add a bit of vinegar for it to properly dissolve, then slowly add oil to emulsify the mixture into a thick creamy sauce. Goes very well with the bitter Chicoree.

    Barry absolutely sabotaged poor Jamie. They had a promising Japanese-inspired theme to start with, and then Barry inexplicably decided to make "egg fried rice" and then a mayo-tahini-chili oil abomonation. If it were just Jamie vs. Ben, I think I might've personally preferred Jamie's dish, at least in theory.

    this episode just showd how much Jaime has progressed.
    He actually had chef-like thinking in planning out how to brst use the rhubarb and tuna and how everything should go together. He was mostly calm and in control.
    Baz on the other hand went crazy and didn't care about dish composition. he just went with ehat he thought might work without consulting his partner.
    next time, this should be a 3-way mystery box challenge: Jaime vs Baz vs Ben
