Jamie Oliver’s giant lemons


[Music]
weird and wonderful take one thank you
this is Caleb here our intern from
prison thank you very much
okay so we’re going to do another
session of weird and wonderful it’s
going to be beautiful now do you know
what this is yes this is your everyday
leafy non waxed lemon oh yes but today
is a time where we don’t just have that
kind of lemon we have this kind of lemon
yeah we’re talking a big lemon a big
badass lemon this my friends is the one
and only shared the rock lemon it is a
citrus fruit fruit it is a member of the
lemon family but where is this if cut in
half gives you your normal juicy lemon
situation across the nation this is what
we get here which as you can see not
particularly juicy if you come forward
have a look at this if you have a look
in there this pit unlike this lemon is
not bitter this is a neutral pith it’s
also quite firm if you can look in there
it’s quite firm and also you can see
that the skin is nobly like an old man’s
nose and the important thing is you
can’t go using this delicately if you’re
going to crank it out all chunky you
don’t want that in your salad so we need
to use some skills now that comes in the
form of knife skills or our dear friend
miss the mandolin goes fine as you think
you can get away with the finer you can
get it the better it will be when you
use your mandolin use a guard because
you don’t want to cut yourself I know
I’m setting a bad example today but I
lost my god
and that is how my fourth child was born
over here we’re going to do a bruschetta
right
some people say bruschetta its
bruschetta what is it bruschetta it’s
not bruschetta Jim is it for sure
we’re a Skepta see okay back here
sourdough bread about a centimeter thick
we are going to toast we are going to
put our cheddar a lemon in so put in
some lemon juice we’re going to go in
with a pinch of salt very important and
some very good olive oil I’m going to
choose a herb mint is really really good
it might take some mint and just chop it
up I’m going to do that now and just
finely chop the mint the thing I really
love about Italian food is there is a
simplicity there so let’s finely slice
some chilies so in you go my friend a
little watch of rocket we’re going to
just toss this up like that let’s get a
little bit garlic just cut it in half
it’s a bruschetta so just rub it a few
times we’re then going to drizzle it
with good olive oil again get a couple
of little Tomatoes
and once you’ve rubbed it with garlic
and olive oil just get a tomato squeeze
it a bit and just squash that tomato in
and around the whole toast and you can
leave it on the toast as well then we
come to our mozzarella we’re going to
tear this open okay and we’re going to
kind of unwind it see how it’s unwinding
we’re going to unwind that little
beautiful thing tops up your salad when
it looks pretty in the bowl just pick it
up we’re going to go on top very simple
very unusual definitely weird and
