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 piccante.
01:33Which means it's quite hot and spicy.
01:37and pepper. Give it a mix and lastly you need to split the chorizo lengthways this
01:54is chorizo picante which means it's quite hot and spicy but it's it's also
02:02cooking chorizo which means it's is quite meaty and it's got a really lovely texture okay so the
02:10final step here is to actually cook the chorizo and the baby gem so what we're going to do is we're
02:15going to cook it on a griddle pan heat it up on a high heat until it's smoking and then we're going
02:19to chargrill the chorizo for about three or four minutes on each side until it's nice and nice and
02:25golden brown and then once you flip it over the first time then we're going to add the baby gem
02:29and cook the baby gem in the chorizo oil so I'm going to add the chorizo in now
02:33the chorizo are about ready now should be nicely bar marked on the outside
02:50and at this stage now this is when we're going to add the baby gem lettuce and that is going to
03:05nicely cook in the chorizo oil so we don't need to add any oil to it and again we just want to cook
03:12these on a quite an intense heat to finish off the cooking process once we get to this stage we're
03:26ready to plate up we're going to start off first with the citrus yogurt in the center of the plate
03:31and use the back of the spoon to spread and then on top of that I'm going to add my peas that I
03:42previously blanched in boiling water and refreshed in iced water we're going to serve them cold
03:47then our grilled baby gem that we've grilled in the chorizo oil in the same pan
04:03and the star of the show the grilled chorizo
