Jamie’s Super Quick Hummus – was LIVE | Real Time Recipes


hello lovely people okay we are going
live and we are going to be cooking
we’re not really cooking when we are
cooking we’re going to do some flat
breads or some beautiful whole-wheat or
like flat bread tortillas we’re going to
do some really healthy hummus and we’re
going to kind of put it together on a
board with a few nice things some feta
little tomato salad very very quick I
think like the thing to think about is
hummus is a wonderful wonderful thing
and here’s the thing because the
supermarket’s have made it easy for us
we’ve kind of got used to this stuff and
it’s okay
but it’s not really my cup of tea so if
you’ve ever made your own it’s life
changing it’s absolutely delicious
because you can flavor it you can
control the textures and there’s a few
little tricks to get really high quality
hummus now there’s lots of different
variations on the theme I want to show
you up she I want to show you a healthy
version so first trick is the jarred
chickpeas are incredible okay the ones
in the tins are okay of course you can
get the dried ones and soak it and then
cook it but for a lot of people that are
very busy that’s too much hard work so
kind of hunt out the jarred ones they’re
going to give you the most amazing
flavor and it’s just going to be much
much better you can get these in
supermarkets and delis and these jars
are brilliant to keep before you’re
preserving and stuff so we’re going to
go into there we’re going to lightly
seasoned it with salt some pepper
normally you put olive oil in there but
I want to kind of just pull that back
and finish with olive oil I am going to
go in with some lemon juice may be the
juice of one to two lemons goes in but
just lightly flavored with lemon juice
just to sort of balance it now as I said
you’d normally put quite a bit of olive
oil in there I’m going to finish with
that but I’m going to add a little bit
of yogurt okay nice organic yogurt it
gives it that creaminess it’s good to
get dairy in the story if you’re kind of
looking at a kind of you know nice
mixture of balanced food and so I’m
going to use some lovely stuff and then
a couple of tablespoons goes in and then
we’re going to have a little whizz up
the kind of ingredient that a lot of
people might not have seen for is tiny
is basically a sesame seed paste get it
in the supermarket’s a nice heaped
teaspoon can go in if you really can’t
find it a little bit of peanut butter is
a cheat and it’s pretty damn good
so let’s whiz that up it will take a few
seconds to get going
and give it a little shake
you can either have it chunky or really
nice and smooth
they’re always so noisy these things and
just give it a little stir if it’s not
doing its thing sometimes it’s nice
having some smooth and some chunks I
quite like it when it’s kind of silken
go on big boy get over there come around
the side
you
of course in the old days they’d use a
pestle and mortar taste it that tahini
is amazing a little more seasoning you
can see it with a little cayenne pepper
if you want as well so just a few more
seconds there and I’m gonna start making
a flatbread very simple it couldn’t be
simpler no yeast just a little salt
whole wheat flour you don’t really have
to weigh it out but about 80 grams per
person I just do like a little double
batch there I’m going to add water until
it just comes together as a dough so
little water just use a spoon the
simplest bread ever the whole wheat
flour gives it a little more complexity
super-shiny now
so of course look I love volleyball you
know I love volleyball but instead of
you like losing loads and loads and lugs
in there we’re going to save it for
drizzling on top and really appreciating
it try and get yourself a cold-pressed
extra virgin olive oil this dough like I
said is the simplest dough on the planet
just bring it together you can knead it
around and we’ll just roll it out and
we’ll cook it on the griddle pan and
it’s kind of ready and raring to go
straight away you don’t have to really
let it you know rest or anything like
that so I’m just going to put this now
onto the board any questions from the
lovely people that are watching I like
both I mean I think what’s quite nice is
I make a really lovely silken humus pour
it over a surface and then get some
whole or crushed chickpeas and almost
dress them in lovely parsley leaves
flecks of chilli and then just fold that
through and I think actually this debate
is really really good because the whole
point is if you create this base for
hummus that’s delicious and of course
this expression of this dish is a
healthy version so we’re just putting
out the amount of saturated fat so not
as much olive oil and then we can kind
of concentrate and do we want herbs
through it do we want to spice it do we
want to kind of like chopped up or puree
up like beautiful grilled peppers and
stir that through it grilled vegetables
spices you know so there’s so many
options that you can do and they’re
super super cool so let that know that
we’ve got we’ve got two flat breads
right there the only thing you need to
do is just roll it out you can go into
it you can turn it into a round if you
want doesn’t really matter little foul
on the top and kind of roll it out I
guess as thin as you can really I mean
kind of let’s go I’ll say three or four
millimeters just flour as you go and
I’ve got a griddle pan on and this is of
course best cooked on the barbecue any
other questions guys
a really nice one so chart Johnson is
just moving to uni I want to know what
are the essential food she needs to buy
our first food shop ah okay so of course
you’re going to need things like your
flowers I mean just before we get on to
that if you’re going to uni or if you’re
trying to set up save money in any way
shape or form if you’re living with
groups of people
aka a halls of residence or sharing a
house and when you sort of study shoot
students and I have a bit everything is
structured around saving money so they
can spend more on beer so with that in
mind the only thing I could offer you is
less be really clever about how we cook
so you can share who cooks on what days
when you cook things cooking batches and
then you can freeze the leftovers into
little bags and have dinners ready and
raring to go but most importantly
instead of everyone buying different
dinners on every single day put your
money together and you’ll get twice as
much value okay
if you Club together your money you’ll
cook some incredible dishes so I think
things are like tins of beings you know
flour pasta Rice’s try and upgrade to
the whole wheat varieties that’s way way
more energy and it will fill you up for
longer and vegetables down the market
are really really cheap stick to what’s
in season it’s better for you and
cheaper and just kind of basics really
vinegars condiment soya sauce things
that are going to make basic simple
foods taste unbelievable and delicious
so let me just show here’s the flatbread
guy as you can see so not a complex
bread at all we go straight onto our
grill and we’re just going to grill that
on both sides with our silicon humus
what I’m going to do is just pour it out
on to
this will keep in the fridge for a good
handful of days and what I’m going to do
is I’m going to try something here I’m
going to leave some of this here and I’m
just going to put it you can buy these
jars of peppers and they’re delicious
and all the works done for you and
they’ve been grilled off and peeled and
I’m just going to put that in this jug
in this machine and try and kind of whiz
it up you could absolutely chop it up by
hand we want to get our really sweet
peppery
premise and you can see the color change
look at that
and then what I’m going to do is just
kind of move this hummus around the
board pour in the peppery hummus and
just Marble it up and what you can do is
hit that with some lovely herbs and
spices when you drag any lovely sort of
veggies through that or some flat ribs
it’s going to be really really good
okay so let’s just turn over this
flatbread you’ve got the Charles they’re
very simple bread all I’m going to do
now is just rift off of that you know
herbs citrus you know things like feta
cheese absolutely delicious
you can put some garlic in that hummus
as well which is really really nice I
forgot to do it that’s the beauty of
live broadcast that’s the thing when you
make your own you can just make it so
incredibly spectacular small bits are
parsley big bits get some cayenne pepper
from a height you know get some nice
feta cheese and just sort of break it up
and have it around really really nice we
can get a nice simple tomato salad here
like that and just Clank it up and just
dress it with vinegar a little drizzle
of olive oil and I’m just you know get
the seasonal tomatoes that are good
right now I mean this is the kind of
stuff that I would do for a lovely snack
or lunch you know and it takes 15
minutes as you see I’ve done my little
bread you know just tear it up and serve
that with the hummus really really nice
so you know it’s really simple I think
that’s the thing when you’re kind of
cooking food like this it’s not
expensive it’s not you know tin chickpea
jarred chickpeas you know you know these
things is they’re not when you compare
going to a take oil something like that
they’re just not expensive a little bit
chilly maybe in the tomatoes would be
really nice or maybe we just have a
gee sprinkled on our hummus over here
just have fun with it I think that’s the
kind of general idea so I’m gonna slice
that up the book hey that’s mine you
cookbook guys my everyday superfoods I
hope you’re going to love it
I’m really proud of it breakfasts
lunches dinners snacks hydration it’s
all in there and it’s basically every
choice is a good choice so look I love
all foods but in this book I wanted it
to be a really safe place for you guys
to be able to rely on and when you want
to have a nice day where it’s good for
you everyone in there is in there so
look I’m just going to finish plating
this up guys
a lovely little tomato salad goes on of
course you could hit it up with olives
and nice things like that we’ve got a
homemade hummus reporter we’ve gorgeous
sweet pepper hummus we’ve got our
flatbread I’ll even do another one I’ll
take some questions while I finish off
this last flatbread and anything else
you’ve got happening there’s for you huh
I think something that we should explain
Joe is what happening tomorrow night on
telly in UK for a UK oh yeah absolutely
a global issue on Stafford yeah so
tomorrow I’m doing a documentary on
channel 4 it’s called sugar rush and
we’re studying the impact of sugar and
how sugar has affected our health in a
negative way we’re kind of zeroing in on
sugary sweetened drinks and the reason
for that is we know sugars in all foods
of course we do and of course you can
have a problem with all of those but
certainly in Britain and many countries
around Europe the largest source of
sugar for our kids and our teenagers is
from sugary sweetened drinks and they’re
just so popular so I’m kind of telling a
story about how our health care system
is breaking down about how kids going
into hospital to have multiple teeth
extractions you know not one not two not
three now that happens in the dentist
we’re talking about going 26 primary
school-aged kids go in the hospital
every year just to have like
huge amount of teef removed for one
reason only sugar there’s only one
reason for teeth extraction in hospital
26 thousand kids a year primary
school-aged kids in Britain type-2
diabetes has gone crazy and the cost of
type 2 diabetes is like nearly 9 billion
which is nearly 10% of the whole NHS
budget so the world’s just gone a little
bit mad and I felt that it was important
to tell a story about how it’s affecting
all sorts of people and what can we do
about it and what is happening and what
could happen so really is it’s kind of a
story where I tell you a story and then
it’s up to you to decide what happens
next so there’s a petition at the end of
it and we could put like a little link
at the end of this video which goes to
the petition and it’s in a way it’s the
hardest petition in the world because
it’s trying to tell a story for the
thing that we all hate which is tax but
it what I’m suggesting is a 7 pence tax
on a can of sugary sweetened drink which
could raise a billion pounds a year to
go to the NHS and to primary schools
around Britain for food education and
fight obesity basically and inspire
people and teaching about food and where
it comes from and how it effects their
body and it’s really really important
and I’m not saying it’s a perfect cure
but there is no perfect cure and what’s
happening at the moment is nothing
nothing it’s just was not nothing it’s
just not working and it’s not brave and
it’s not bold and I think I look I think
that the adults of the world have done
our children a massive disservice in
Britain today this is the first
generation of kids expected to live a
shorter life than their parents in 2015
what’s all that about
so we’re handing over a world in a much
worse a condition to our kids so really
this is kind of this is about the public
taking control so it’s a tax for good
it’s going to cause a lot of trouble and
hopefully people will be inspired by it
get engaged if you’re watching and if
you agree that it’s gone too far and
there’s a problem and if you’re just
bored of the bad news or
time then my belief honestly my belief
is if we have a big brave act of
government like a sugary drinks tax
followed by a hundred other brilliant
things and I’ve done a shopping list and
I’m working with the government on lots
of stuff then in the next five to ten
years we can start seeing an improvement
and we can stop whinging about the bad
times and start celebrating the good
times and anyway back to homemade hummus
there we go guys obviously we’re
finishing that with a little olive oil
the whole point of it if you can grab
little bits of this lovely bread and
just mop it up and get in your mouth hmm
and you can get little bits of feta
cheese little bits of chilli get it in
there and it’s worth making your own
hummus once you’ve made your own tahini
olive oil lemon juice
the lovely yogurt the chickpeas flavor
it with herbs or whatever you like it’s
great like this but it’s amazing with
like grilled meats especially lamb is
really really good so I’ve made a mess
but this is very tasty thank you very
much for your questions don’t forget to
wash sugar rush in the UK 9 o’clock

something radical we can’t just keep on
