00:00Hi, I'm Owen, and I'm the exec chef at the Hynium Mill.

00:03All right, I'm Ben, and I'm the head chef at the Hynium Mill.

00:06Yeah, we've both kind of been off, done our own things, worked on ourselves.

00:09And now we're back to create the Hynium Mill buzz.

00:12We want to make some really nice spring menu coming up.

00:14So, yeah, we're looking forward to it.

00:16Yeah, so that's a lovely little pan-seared scallop, finished with loads of egg and butter.

00:20Done with a bit of crispy black pudding.

00:22It's a little apple salsa, plus some fresh herbs, a bit of coriander.

00:27Yeah, it's really tasty.

00:28Yeah, it's very ripe and fresh.

00:30Oh, yeah, so it's a crispy braised lamb belly.

00:34So we braise it, so the fat breaks down, we roll it tight.

00:37So there's layers of fat and meat, and then that gets grilled,

00:40and all the fat comes out, and then that creates a really crispy texture.

00:44So it's kind of soft and crispy at the same time.

00:46That gets served with really fresh garlic mint yogurt and a salsa verde.

00:50Real crunchy.

00:51Yeah, real crunchy, and then a nice bit of house salad.

00:54And, again, some fresh herbs.

00:56Yeah, it's really nice and fresh.
