Hello lovely people it's that time of year when it's Wimbledon in Britain and
that only means one thing guys yes strawberries. We love them so tasty and
I'm gonna give you five of my very favourite strawberry recipes for you to enjoy.
First up he's got balls he gets the crowd going and he's given
me a few back handed in his time it's the one and only Gennaro Contaldo with a
risotto with strawberry and balsamic vinegar
First of all onion.
Want to use a nice knob of butter and the onions inside
I'm gonna put about 200grams of this fantastic risotto rice. keep it stirring it
Hallelujah. Quarter of a glass of wine.
I've got fantastic stock. You need about ten strawberry mmm. I think it needs a bit of salt.
Now the ladles of stock inside keep stirring it. Now the strawberry goes in
It's ready, so I turn it off. Nice a little bit of butter about three
tablespoons of parmesan. You cover let it rest.
Look what a beautiful plate.
bit of parmesan, strawberries
balsamic vinegar, not too much
WHY I'M COOKING SO GOOD!!!
Next up beautiful people we're gonna make some homemade lollies yes
very delightful and the one and only Karis is going to do this in style with the
strawberry and blueberry lolly but I did give her one bit of advice yes just let
the lollies set
You're gonna have 20 mils of water that's about right then you're
going to get your squeezed lemon juice this is 65 mils 50 grams of sugar so
your strawberries are going to go into your water fresh lemon and sugar mixture
I'm using a hand blender okay alright now that's about right so
where the blueberries come into the recipe is they're actually going to be
whole blueberries so pour in slowly try not dribble anywhere okay so now we're
going to put them in the freezer mmm mmm here we go really good.
Next up we're going to do a summer cut pitcher better known as a lovely homemade fresh
Pimms with style. Joe and Ludo are going to show us exactly how to do it
the only advice I've given them is make sure you serve it cold.
half of the cucumber just cut up into nice little wheels is fine and then Joe what would be
Wimbledon without strawberries for this recipe we need about five to ten tennis
ball coloured lemons. Here Joe is cutting of a lemon into slice last but not least
the orange peel. So we're going to pour 250 ml of vodka next we're going to add
in one part again of a really nice sweet vermouth leave it in the fridge
overnight or at least for five hours let's say. At Least yes we want this to be a
cold summer cup so let's get some ice in it this is a secret weapon a little bit
of sweetness from some ginger ale so we give it a nice stir so really get
your spoon in there let's give it a try shall we. oh that is unbelievable
Next up the one and only Anna Jones is going to show you how to make a
strawberry sorbet infiltrated with the wonderful perfume and fragrance of
elderflower yes I trust her. The first thing you're going to need is an
unwaxed lemon so you're gonna blitz your whole lemon here. I've got about a
kilogram of nice ripe strawberries here for your third and last ingredient is
elderflower cordial, blitz all of this together until it's really nice and smooth
this mixtures ready to be frozen now you've got an ice cream machine just pop
it in there churn it and then into the freezer once it's frozen if you haven't
got an ice cream machine don't worry you can just pop it in a freezer proof dish
churn it up with a fork every half an hour or so until it's set
That is really really good
Next up we're going to do a beautiful 45
second ice cream with strawberries made by me and this one is going to be a real smash
I'm going to go in with about 500 grams of frozen strawberries I want
about the same quantity of yogurt and we're going to sweeten it with some
honey we're just gonna whiz that up it's basically smashing those strawberries
into like a little ice. A little thimble of Pimm's delightful
Homemade ice cream what more do you want apart from two or three of those
So there you go guys five fantastic strawberry recipes to celebrate
Wimbledon nice I think we've done a good job game set and match and I'm sorry
about all the rubbish-y you little puns but you know once you get going you kind
of get the swing of things
