00:00My name's Joe, I'm the head chef at Salt Yard Restaurant and today I'm going to be doing

00:03chorizo picante with citrus yoghurt, baby gem and fresh English peas.

00:09Firstly, I'm going to start quarter the baby gem and we're going to take off the end, remove

00:16the outer leaves.

00:18Like I said, we're going to cut it into quarters, making sure that the stem in the bottom is

00:24still there, that holds it all together while we cook it.

00:29Next, we're going to do the citrus yoghurt.

00:36This is involving high fat content Greek yoghurt, orange, lemon, lime, zest and juice.

00:43You don't need a whole lime zest for each or lemon zest.

00:54Then we use the piece of the fruit, take some juice, squeeze it in.

01:01A piece of lemon and a piece of lime.

01:08And lastly, season with a bit of salt.

01:15And pepper.

01:16Give it a mix.

01:17Give it a mix.

01:18And lastly, season with a bit of salt and pepper.

01:25Give it a mix.

01:26And lastly, you need to split the chorizo lengthways.

01:32This is chorizo picante, which means it's quite hot and spicy.

01:34But it's sort of a bit more spicy.

01:39Give it a mix.

01:47And lastly, you need to split the chorizo lengthways.

01:54This is chorizo picante, which means it's quite hot and spicy, but it's also a cooking

02:02chorizo, which means it's quite meaty and it's got a really lovely texture.

02:10Okay so the final step here is to actually cook the chorizo and the baby gem.

02:14So what we're going to do is we're going to cook it on a griddle pan, heat it up on a high

02:17heat until it's smoking, and then we're going to char-grill the chorizo for about three or

02:22four minutes on each side until it's nice and golden brown.

02:26And then once you flip it over the first time, then we're going to add the baby gem and cook

02:29the baby gem in the chorizo oil.

02:31So I'm going to add the chorizo in now.

02:46The chorizo are about ready now, it should be nicely bar marked on the outside.

02:56And at this stage now, this is when we're going to add the baby gem lettuce.

03:01And that is going to nicely cook in the chorizo oil, so we don't need to add any oil to it.

03:11And again, we just want to cook these on quite an intense heat to finish off the cooking process.

03:25Once we get to this stage, we're ready to plate up.

03:26We're going to start off first with the citrus yogurt in the center of the plate and use the

03:32back of the spoon to spread.

03:33And then on top of that, I'm going to add my peas that I previously blanched in boiling water

03:44and refreshed in iced water, we're going to serve them cold.

03:49Then our grilled baby gem that we've grilled in the chorizo oil in the same pan.

03:55And the star of the show, the grilled chorizo.

04:14Just to finish off, I've got some fennel tops and some extra virgin olive oil.

04:28There it is, grilled chorizo, baby gem, peas and citrus yogurt.
