guys okay so i'm going to give you a
great recipe that i would love on
father's day is eggs benedict i'm going
to give you five versions of eggs
benedict the classic with smoked ham
then smoked salmon and then grilled
mushrooms for the vegetarians and then
we're gonna have a nice posh one with
dressed crab then number five a classic
that we do in barbacoa burnt ends
benedict
okay hollandaise sauce it starts with
two eggs
and remove just the yolks
then i'm going to use some butter i'm
going to put a pack of butter in here
guys and we're just going to melt it
here i've got a pan about an inch of
water put the bowl on top
add a little tablespoon of white wine
vinegar i'm gonna add a little bit of
salt
a little pepper
okay
so as you whisk
it's gonna start to double in size
slowly add in the butter if you don't
whisk constantly it'll split
so at this point
let's take it off the heat
i'll remove that then now in kitchens
we'd make that at the beginning of
service and then what would happen is
maybe an hour later someone puts it on a
higher heat and it splits so it's quite
a vulnerable source so a brilliant way
to stop that is just get a good
old-fashioned thermos flask put boiling
water in and preheat it and then pour
that away
and this is the best place to put a
fantastic hollandaise sauce and just
pour it in it's gonna stay warm for two
hours
sauce done
so guys let's talk about eggs right one
of the ultimate eggs is a double yolker
when you get two yolks in one egg
fantastic but we can't wait for luck so
let's make it let's make it happen right
and i'm going to show you how to not
only guarantee the perfect poached egg
every time but also guarantee double
yolkers and it's really simple so we're
using heatproof cling film get a little
bit of olive oil so we rub that on there
then we get our bowl put that underneath
and then just use your hand to push the
cling film in then we get two gorgeous
eggs these are lovely free-range organic
eggs
and in they go and then simply all we do
is pull up the sides and we're just
going to squeeze the air out and then
tie it in a knot it couldn't be easier
so let's take these eggs
put them into simmering water
so while that's cooking let's talk about
flavors so first up dry grilled
mushrooms and when you dry grill them
like that they go nutty and completely
different flavor next combo smoked
salmon we've got the ham you know this
stuff is nice and normal right we've
seen this before but let's just kind of
play that story then we've got crab you
can just get it and you can dress it so
in with olive oil in with chili and a
basil
a little squeeze of lemon juice mix it
up and it will be divine and delicious
let's explain the last one burnt ends is
all the end bits of big pulled pork
butts or beautiful short ribs of beef or
any of the barbecued meats and then we
just dress them in a bit of barbecue
sauce and that's it right next my eggs
they've had about eight and a half
minutes
the mushrooms here are ready
and with the mushrooms
very simply you know they're cooked and
they're dry and they look a little bit
uninteresting but if you put nice
extra virgin olive oil on here all right
a pinch of salt
and pepper
and again a squeeze of lemon juice and
even a little parsley or something like
that this is going to be a thing of joy
one more thing spinach
just put it in that griddle pan just
wilt it down you literally just need 30
seconds again just a little kiss of
olive oil
and lemon juice and seasoning and that's
all you could possibly need
beautiful
look at that
done so now i'm going to take my buns
you can toast them if you want but not
too much i'd say you want it to be
spongy okay lovely extra virgin olive
oil let's have a little bit of that
very very nice then we're going to go on
with the smoked salmon first beautiful
the next one we're going to go ham good
quality dry cured smoked ham lovely and
then the spinach on there then a few
little bits of those gorgeous mushrooms
let's pack it in then we're going to go
the crab
really nice and then the burnt ends
amazing right so then we've got the eggs
just simply cut off the end like that
and then you can just grab this and pull
it up and it's not going to break it's
beautiful this is the end of the story
guys
hollandaise sauce over the top
thick
and rich with that little bit of acidity
