Your white pan was messing with my head so bad! My screen is set so dark it looked like you were cooking directly on a dinner plate and I was like "WHAAAAAT!? THE GLASS IS GONNA SHATTER!" lol.
The three tenets: - Stay your blade away from the food of the innocent. - Cook in plain sight. - Never compromise the kitchen. And the most important thing to remember when cooking: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
For the Baba Ghanoush(Mutabal), choose male eggplants (look for dots not slits on the bottoms) as they have less seeds. Don't cut them open yet, just poke some holes in them before you; steam, broil, oven, whatever you choose, till the skin is wrinkled and they're a bit deflated looking. Take em out, let them sit, then slice, and scoop onto a pan. Add your salt and garlic, then proceed to mash with a potato masher, till you get that creamy consistency. Put it in the fridge to rest and there you have it. Where you messed up; You added the salt first when you cut them open. You actually want the water already inside them, to cook the innards when in the oven, making everything mushy. You only add salt during the mashing process. And as with all veggie dishes, a good amount of salt is preferred.
@@Firehawk873 three things mostly. First, his habit to talk in an annoying fake-English accent when reading quotes; secondly the fact that it’s a very anglocentric show: even when using French or other recipes, he only talks about the UK and US; and lastly the continued sponsorship from Hellofresh, which abuses its employees to a degree you wouldn’t believe!
@@fietehermans9903 Oh do they? This the first I'm hearing of that. I just don't like them because they posit themselves as "affordable" and "customizable" when my food stamp using, diabetic ass can't use ANYTHING they make.
from what I can tell, they did their homework on authenticity too, using only what ingredients belong to the place and time of each era (although using modern forms of preparation). So that's surprising since many entertainment franchise cookbooks completely ignore such things.
So this is one of the reasons I love the people who work on the Assassin's Creed merch. For the most part, they never really skimp out on quality and they also try to make stuff as historically accurate as possible.
As a syrian ,I'll tell you what I know about the moutabel from watching my mom cook ... So first thing is that we dont chop the garlic , we crush it very very finely in a special wooden bowl and and stick ... they're garlic mashers, I imagine that helps with the softness of the final cream. And second thing is that my mom used to leave the Eggplant in the fire of a gas stove ... or in a normal fire if we're out.
In terms of making a creamy mixture out of eggplant, I don't think you went wrong anywhere. My mom makes eggplant spread with similar ingredients and she always uses a hand blender to mix everything together. I think the writers of the cookbook may have forgotten to add the fact that you need something to smash the eggplant, or maybe they used a special kind of eggplant that is a lot softer when cooked? Edit: another way to cook the eggplants to make them slightly softer (though they'll still need a hand blender imo) is to char them whole on a grill or a hot plate of some kind. The outer skin is soft and easily peelable. Though I still recommend using a hand blender afterwards. As for the recipe for the spread, I'd recommend removing the tahini and just using some olive oil instead as a fat source.
Interesting mutabal recipe. In Levantine countries, we simply put the eggplants in the oven and once they're ready, we peel them to get the flesh. Then mix the garlic, tahini and lemon juice along with salt. Finally, we add yoghurt and eggplant flesh. It's highly recommended to decorate it with olive oil. Nice video!
I cooked up the jambalaya recipe for the Aveline chapter. Replaced chorizo for turkey sausage, but still got a bit of a spice to it, but was really good
For moutabel, we usually cook the eggplant on the stove and remove the skin with a knife(you can keep a tiny bit of the skin for extra flavoring) then you mash the eggplant with a fork (using a blender would make it too fine which here we don't do) I was also surprised with the onions as we don't use them😅 and I think you added a little too much lemon and too little tahini for the amount of eggplant you added. We also add a ton more seasonings than just salt.
I had high expectations about this cookbook going into the video given that AC does have a surprising amount of historical accuracy throughout the series. It seems worth checking out.
For the Baba Ganush/Metabbel, someone else already gave advice on the eggplant so I'll go on with the seasoning, that is way too much lemon juice, a spritz from half a lime and then adjusting to taste AFTER making it will do, and half an onion is better than a whole one. You might want to add another tablespoon or two of Tahini as well
8:28 you don’t know how exited I was when you introduced Edward! I grew up on black flag and that’s how I know this wonderful game series! (Fun fact) I share the same birthday as him! (March 10th)
How I’m used to getting eggplant dishes(I’m part Arab and north-Sudanese), they’re cooked, (steamed, grilled, pan, whatever way) till they’re so soft it’s practically mushy when they’re used for a dip like that, so it doesn’t even require a blender, but they do use it to make it ultra smooth and or fluffy. It’s definitely not been cooked long enough. That can depend on a lot of things, like the season in which the eggplant was bought, etc, so there’s not really a fixed time for that, my mom and I just keep checking on it till the texture seems right. Good effort though! There’s usually some tricks to the seemingly simple vegetable dishes in these types of cuisines, so don’t get too down on yourself, I’ve messed up plenty, and I still do!
Basically you can't let the eggplant dry out, that what's it tough and stringy. If you roast it whole in the oven or grill it whole directly over fire it steams in the skin. That keeps all the moisture in leading to a much more soft and creamy flesh. I suppose you could also boil it but would dilute it's taste.
In my experience when making eggplant spread like babaganoush or moutabel it's better to put the whole eggplant in the oven and just carve shallow lines in the skin. Then wait till it kinda crumpels and it will be really soft and easy to remove from the skin, no blending needed
I’d recommend using a pressure cooker for the eggplant. I’ve had the same issue when I make mock pumpkin pie with squash, and the pressure cooker makes it come out like mashed potatoes.
I am aware I haven't been commenting as much but I want to say that each and every one of your videos has been top tier and you never disappoint! I definitely agree that this cookbook is a great way to expand ones palatable horizons by going out of their comfort zones with these recipes. I definitely would love to try these out myself! Also: ngl your dedication to your bits regarding the cookbooks' licenses are great. Admittedly laughed out loud with your hidden blade-eggplant-cutting bit!
Didn't even know there was one..have to pick it up sometime. Waiting for The Witcher cookbook, that got pushed back into July according to my Amazon pre-order.
Remember, assassin's Creed has always taken historical events and gave them a twist, i wouldn't be surprised if most of the recipes in the book aren't a historic or cultural dish that they put a twist on.
I would try roasting the eggplant with the cut side down, even though many recipes say cut side up. You lose less moisture on the inside and you don't have to contend with that leathery layer of dry cooked flesh on top. Othwise another fun vid👍
Have you ever considered doing a cookbook deep dive where you could go back to some of your favorite themed books and over the corse of a few weeks or month you cooks some more of the recepies?
That banana version, looks good with ice cream. Also, you can do like a mix alternative version from the recipe by putting the marina in-between. So, I don’t know if that will work, but I should try cooking it.
Great video! I always look forward to seeing whatever cookbook you do next. As for the Moutabel, you might have needed to cook the eggplant a bit more. I've never made this dish but I do cook eggplant quite a bit and occasionally it will need some extra time in the oven to be able to separate well. Will often have a creamier consistency once it is done as well, so that might have been your problem. Again though I've never cooked this dish though so I might be wrong.
You said the eggplant got crispy on the outside so i would try going a lower temperature for a longer time. The lower and slower you go the creamier it gets. You can also add some steam by putting a bowl of water under your baking sheet if it keeps being too firm.
Thibaud Villanova has written a lot of cookbooks, and they're all very good. He has, as far as I know, one for Star Wars, 2 generalist geek things (with recipes from Sci-Fi, fantasy, manga/anime, video games, comic books, horror...), Asterix, Dragon Ball. He has also a book with only drinks and soups. I highly recommend his books, every recipe I've tried was super good. In particular, from the Assassin's Creed book, I can't recommend the Arno Dorian recipes enough. Especially the soup ;) . In fact, all the book is great.
Being drunk on french wine and cheap rum, I'm really in the mood for those bananas. Might wel make those tomorrow with the insane amount of bananas we have at home. No idea why we have so many though XD
i think one thing affecting the moutabel's consistency was the stringiness of the egg plant, one thing that could help is cut the stringy plant matter into shorter bits before mashing it.
Ohh, I saw the French book. Wondered if it was official. The food looks gourmet, I like how you always find household items to dress up with, kind of like LowCostCosplay dude.
I kinda wish that for some kind of Milestone/Special Video he'd go over his collection of cookbooks (assuming he has a collection), anyone else wanna see that?
I love your videos, I hope you still make them further in the future. Its entertaining and amazing to see reviews on things that not only me that love but your subs. Thank you and keep up the awesome cooking work
Thibaud Villanova has a few other cookbooks that also look fantastic, although not all of them are translated to English I think. I was going to recommend his Star Wars book (because it's the one I have first hand experience with) but I can't find it in English. He has a Legend of Zelda book in English that looks very promising though
Those Levantine recipes made me so sad 🥲 we have so many recipes that would have worked perfectly here!! There’s no difference between baba ganoush and moutabel btw, they both have tahini in them! I’ve never personally heard of putting onion in it (we usually use garlic) and there’s usually a lot more tahini in it (that’s what gives it the creamy texture!) so I’m not surprised this recipe didn’t work out :( Amazing video as usual!! I love how much effort you put into sticking with the theme, it makes things so much more entertaining ♥️♥️
Next time place the Eggplant down like the inside flesh park facing down and only have the skin side up. The heat dries up the flesh making it hard to mash it all up
Can you review the Star Wars Wookie Cookies cookbook? I had when I was younger and it's really fun, with the food pictures enhanced with figures of star wars characters and all the food has pun names with titles such as Yoda Soda and Jabba Jelly.
When you added in the tahini to the Moutabel, an unspoken rule is to dissolve it in some water, around less than half by volume and whisk to a creamy consistency. You could then food process or finely mince the eggplant with a heavy blade, but the addition of water into the tahini should disperse your shredded eggplant evenly enough by that point, good luck champ
I find myself often cooking out of my comfort zone I always get nervous and feel bad when it doesn't turn out. I think it comes down to just not having much time to get much experience so when I do have time I just don't have much hands on experience even though I've learned a ton online I need that experience. Also, 2 questions. I was wondering what cookbooks out there are you wanting to review but can't because they're currently not translated to English? Also, I know I personally would love to see you review all recipes in all these books which would give you much more content you can make more often. Do you think that's something we could see?
I totally get that. I also feel bad when it doesn't work out. But when it does it's so rewarding! As for non English cookbooks, I really hope they translate the Japanese Monster Hunter book. Hopefully one day!
For the Masyaf Moutabel i would have used double the garlic, only half the onion and 3 times the Tahini (if not more )and half the lemon. This should make things taste way creamier and better in the future. The Lasagna looked good but i also would use less lemon juice and more cheese mixture (also the cold water for the noodles is also to prevent them from getting more cooked from the resedue heat). Hope this helps :)

Came here looking for this comment since I'm about 50/50 on eggplants too. Now I know why! Thanks!
I like how they don't have any recipes for ancient Egypt, so they just gave up and did a hummus recipe instead!😄

Doesn’t help that he water boarded them after pulling out the water with salt. Just use a damp paper towel at that point
@@thegodzachieve Maybe he never cooks with eggplant?
I think it's better when the eggplant is lubricated to full potential.
I think eggplants are big and release creamy sensations in our mind

Could you possibly experiment with different kinds of eggplant? I don't know what's commonly used in that part of the world.

I totally get that. I also feel bad when it doesn't work out. But when it does it's so rewarding!
As for non English cookbooks, I really hope they translate the Japanese Monster Hunter book. Hopefully one day!
@@MisoHungrie don't feel bad about us! We enjoy the content regardless!
Do you think we could see you revisit cookbooks and their other recipes?
For the Masyaf Moutabel i would have used double the garlic, only half the onion and 3 times the Tahini (if not more )and half the lemon. This should make things taste way creamier and better in the future. The Lasagna looked good but i also would use less lemon juice and more cheese mixture (also the cold water for the noodles is also to prevent them from getting more cooked from the resedue heat). Hope this helps :)
Thanks for another fun review! I'm only seeing listings for this book as paperback not hardback. Was the hardback limited edition or something?
Hey Miso! I highly recommend trying out the God of War cookbook :D Also, great video again :D
