Hi lovely people! I am so excited! Very very excited!
Today we're gonna make this fantastic salad from the book Jamie Cooks Italy.
A fantastic grilled apricot salad with lovely mozzarella on top with fantastic onions, with
lovely prosciutto.
You're gonna love it. Just so good! So let me show how to do it.
I have some lovely apricots. Make sure they're not really really soft. Get a knife just cut
them on the side,
twist it. Easy! Right, remove the stone. What about if you don't have apricot?
Easy! Today you'll find almost everything. Lovely small peaches as well, you do exactly
the same.
Then you get a nice little bit of thyme. Ahhh! The smell and the combination of flavour with
the apricot,
it's unbelievable! Just pull it, get all these lovely leaves on top.
You get nice olive oil, just drizzle it. Yeah come on! And then you mix everything.
Right, let's do it now! Just put them all in line, like a soldier. One after the other.
When you have a griddle pan, make sure it's very hot. You want a kind of aggressiveness
just to sear it. Everybody should have a griddle like this so if you do want to buy
one
like this one, just go to Jamie Oliver's shop, you will find it. Fantastic.
Right I need to flavour this plate. So I've got nice peppercorns, handful. Just put them
inside.
Crush them a little bit, and look at that. Yes!
Now is the time to turn them to the other side. Oh my my! Oh yeah!
You have to do exactly the same with the other side. Now you need a nice onion.
Just one medium onion. Slice very very thin. Should put them in a bowl, then add some,
about 2 teaspoons
of vinegar. Mix it a little bit. Let the vinegar remove that aggressiveness of the onion.
Let's have a look. Oh yes they're ready! So at this stage turn them off.
Look at this! That is the garden of the world inside this bowl.
So we get a little bit of wild rocket, of chicory, just few leaves.
Then we got this lovely, we call them a lolo, really good. Some lovely curly lettuce. Mix
it up a little bit.
You want a very very very good olive oil. I use a little bit of a salt, not too much,
and you mix it gently all together.
You start to prepare it. Look at that! Oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm cooking so good! I can't believe it!
Now you got lovely nice mozzarella. Oh yes! The king of Italy! Mozzarella. Just tear it.
My goodness me. Oh yeah!
Yes! This is when it comes to the onions. Just pick them up and sprinkle. Oh oh! Lemons
for me are life and I
cannot cook without. Just cut them in half, give them a little squeeze and then you get
some grated. Oh!
Look at that! And last, not least - the prosciutto! Just a very very thin slice.
Just a little on top. Ah! Drizzle just again. A little bit of black pepper. Wow!
It looks so good! But also tastes so good. Let's plate it now.
Just mix up a little bit. Yeah!
This is for me to eat. So excited, yes! That is good. Mmm mmm mmm mmm!
That combination of the grilled apricot with the olive oil, with a bit of black pepper
on it,
with the lovely prosciutto inside and the vinegar and the onions -
it's an explosion of flavour inside your mouth!
Everybody should make it, everybody should eat this.
If there is something better in the world I don't want to know.
It tastes so good. This recipe comes from the book Jamie Cooks Italy.
It's so good. You will enjoy it.
