hi everyone so
i'm about to make this beautiful mash
it's been highly requested that i do
more of my daily food so i'm going to do
more of that and this mash is definitely
one of my firm staples
and particularly for days like this you
know it's a little bit wet a bit nippy
not a lot of sunlight typical london
winter really i know it's almost new
year but the weather doesn't care okay
particularly london weather so i'm
looking for my culinary friend to
come for me and this is definitely
comforting it's warm it's welcoming and
it's absolutely delicious and simple to
make and looking at these guys
definitely cheers me up already so i've
got a beautiful beautiful savoy cabbage
right here sometimes i just use the
regular cabbage but whenever i can get
hold of the savoy cabbage i always do so
because it's a classic combination with
the mash so i'm going to just cut in
half i think i only need half of it
look at that so fresh and beautiful and
i'm going to just cut up the base
to release all the leaves
it's a feast in the eyes as well it's
beautiful to look at and i'm going to
give it a quick wash and now i'm going
to cut it in thin slices
[Applause]
to transfer it and put it aside and then
i'm going to chop up a couple of
shallots you can use onions as well
and then in thin slices
and then
some garlic
[Music]
you can add as much as little as you
want
i like lots of it and then just chop the
garlic finely and then my cauliflower
this is quite small so i'm probably
going to use another one of similar size
all i'm going to do is just cut them
into florets
quite roughly so you want to cut them
into kind of equal size pieces so they
cook at the same time
and now we're going to fry the cabbage
so
generous amount of olive oil
and turn the heat on
medium heat
i almost never cook in high heat it's
just not necessary so
here's my garlic
olive oil and garlic
seriously it cheers me up any time and
as it's sizzling i'm going to pop in my
shallots
we're going to just soften the shallots
a little bit
you know i do a fair amount of baking
and also particularly when i'm
experimenting but this is how i eat at
home
okay now
we're going to add in our cabbage
so beautiful
and then
a bit of salt so you want to season it
properly
[Music]
with some pepper as well
plenty of it
you know cooking is relaxing when it's
simple
so if you're stressed when you're
cooking that means maybe the thing
you're trying to cook it's just too far
too complex
look at the shallots here
that golden brown is what's going to
make it so delicious
perfect
heat off
i'm going to put it aside
and then
my cauliflower
with the cauliflower i'm going to just
add some cold water just about enough to
cover it so sometimes i use hot water to
make things boil quicker but not with
the mash always cook the cauliflower
from cold water and then turn the heat
on
and i'm gonna just cover it
until you start to boil
okay so here's my cauliflower cooked and
drained so the most important thing with
cauliflower mash is never overcook your
cauliflower so you want your cauliflower
almost borderline al dente as soon as
your fork can go through you want to
stop cooking it because otherwise it's
going to be waterlogged and you're going
to end up with really soggy mash and we
don't want that and while it's still
piping hot i'm going to add in
generous amount of coconut oil
and then a nice drizzle of olive oil
and plenty of it
i like the combination because this is
going to make it so fragrant and creamy
and then some salt
and then i'm going to blitz it
[Music]
okay
[Music]
and then i'm going to add in my cabbage
i'm going to hold off a small portion
i'm just adding the rest here
so i'm going to
keep a small amount here
oh it smells lovely and then i'm going
to blittle again
[Music]
lovely
and then i'm going to add in the
remaining cabbage
you see all the brown bits that's the
best bit and then give it a gentle mix
and make sure you check the seasoning
oh
this is so wonderful
look at this
so creamy and lovely i happily eat this
as it is any day but today i'm looking
for extra comfort so i'm going to bake
it in the oven so i get that light
golden crust
just so wonderful so i'm going to just
scoop in
my mash
lovely and i'm going to just even it out
slightly
i can't wait
and then i'm going to use a four just
give it a light
pattern like this
i mean this looks nice as well but also
it will help the surface to get more
crusty and then some more olive oil on
top
beautiful so i'm going to pop in my oven
the highest setting which is 220 so all
i want is for it to warm up and then
crisp up the surface
look at this not too bad eh and i've got
some fresh dough which will go
wonderfully with a mash
and to go with the mash i've got some
tomato salad so this is just cherry
tomatoes and with some red onion and
vinaigrette as dressing
so delicious right the lunch is served
let's take a scoop look at how
beautifully golden brown it is
oh
so great
and still my cherry tomato salad
get a dressing
a little bit more dough
oh i can't wait to dig in
look at how creamy this is
wow it's so good so good i eat this on a
regular basis but every time i still go
wow it's just so simple who would have
known two cauliflower and a cabbage can
give you this magic
it's so delicious
really really delicious so i hope you
like my lunch and we'll give it a go
it's so simple simple and beautifully
delicious and follow me instagram and
