Gordon Ramsay's F-Word - Lamb with Apricot and Cumin

[TheDave000]

Cooked this tonight for my family. Couldn't get a crown just before Xmas so did a boned leg instead, other than that exactly as gordon suggests. The leg is a lot harder to stuff so you need some good knife skills to flatten it our pre-stuffing. If anyone makes this a tip - It is almost impossible to have too much cumin! It looks like loads in this vid to me so I toned it down a little, but it could have easily taken more. Served with gratin dauphinoise and ratatouille. Fucking delicious!Go Gordy

bad.. idea to watch this 12 in the morning

[newazlp1921isback]

This looks like beef wellington

[beats10tops]

he is a great chef one of my favourites and I'm Portuguese. Great Recipe

[aznelf13]

seems like 2 ppl can't cook

[SimonAlander]

@aznelf13 No, they're Anorectic

[BrianDeBoisGuilbert]

There is only one bad thing about this recipe. The cut he's using is about $150. To serve a dinner of ten is $300 -- just in lamb. Before everyone jumps down my throat, I am in the Los Angeles area. Not sure what saddle of lamb goes for in Lamb Meadow Australia...

[retrotw]

@BrianDeBoisGuilbert i think u r spot on...i am from taiwan but i live in new zealand...and i believe the price is pretty much the same as what you said...like a lot of his recipes...its not exactly his michelin level becuz he mentioned before these are recipes he prepares for home cooks...yet...some of these ingredients...are just not suitable for a normal income family...btw im a student so theres no way i can come up with this dish...even if i really want to try it

[CraigWeir1986]

@retrotw nobody cares

[TheDave000]

@retrotw Sure its expensive but a crown is a very expensive cut. You could quite easily make the delicious stuffing and spice rub and just cook them with a nice lamb chop, with the stuffing on the side, or maybe make a "pocket" in a lamb steak and stuff that? Its possible to eat well on a budget. When I was a student I used to cook 1 dish like this a week for my friends (on sundays) and we all chipped in. It is affordable if you are a bit clever with the recipe, and split the costs with friends!

[Nabiki73]

Seriously, I'm going to drown in my own fucking saliva if I keep watching Gordon cooking. This dish just looks fucking AMAZING.

[summerbeforelast]

What cut of lamb is he using?

[quityojibbajabbaa]

@summerbeforelast saddle of lamb.

[Tennafa]

Lamb done like that, and I'd eat it. I normally don't eat lamb.



[shuichihero]

ohhhhhh that is flipping sexy........^^

[FamilyOfMan1975]

GR is a great chef but if they ever stopped making olive oil he'd have to retire.

:)

[yOsHiBrO]

@FamilyOfMan1975 He does love his olive oil lol. Good thing it's healthy for you too.

[xxprincessaxx2]

i want to get the cameraman and kick his stupid ass

[turtlelover97]

I would love to eat Ramsay's cooking...

[chewinggum56]

Gordon Ramsay likes to use salt and pepper does he??

[nokaffirisinnocent]

U dirty bastds... That is RAW lamb... absolute disgusting ... hope u catch some disease after eating that uncooked meat...

[JustletgoMC]

@nokaffirisinnocent

Lamb is safe to eat at 145 degrees (medium rare). I wouldn't personally eat lamb that isn't atleast 155-165 (medium-well/well done) because I don't like the biterry rich flavor of undercooked meat, however it's definitely safe to eat the way Gordon is serving it.

[Fidasaind]

@nokaffirisinnocent I hope you never waste money on any decent cuts of lamb, beef, or other meat. Poultry I understand but do not waste perfectly good meat by turning it into rubber. That is on the low end of med rare. Perfect!

[Carloswfi]

is it just me or he uses olive oil for everything?, and sometimes more than once over one item...

[andydrew010101]

It's dried apricot, toast cumin, ( do this in a dry pan, low heat until they become fragrant )

[suzana006]

question: is it fresh or pickled apricot? the cumin, is it roasted?

thanks :)

[ELGQZ]

i made this for 85 people once , is fuking delicious, Chefs Rule!!!

[GuireGod]

@ELGQZ lol must of been expensive to buy it all

[RonnyR03]

what part of lamb cut is that????

[inzaghi1137]

that's the saddle of lamb

[lecot07]

Lamb with Apricot and Cumin: Done.

[ckuzu]

love the way it sounds.. "DONE" =)

[roygranger]

I'd get a bit overexcited if someone served that to me

[fernieKMMI]

very exciting indeed

[Daavstaaf]

Genius... I just noticed that he uses the same knives as me.. MAC knives, bloody brilliant!!

[micalooloo]

if hes using such good quailty bits of lamb, why flavur it with parmaham?

[JamesKendric]

To give it even more flavor? And because the saddle of lamb does not have alot of fat, the parmaham helps to provide that.

[ckuzu]

it definetely for fat and crispy texture.. i live in a muslim country so i cant find parma ham around (wish i could).. any opinions to replace it?

[daverwob]

@ckuzu atheism

[ckuzu]

@daverwob LOL i dont have any religious beliefs but as i said, its about the market.. so any more opinions? =)

[daverwob]

@ckuzu abandon your atheism and start worshipping the lord of parma ham, and perhaps he will grant you a boon...

[TheBrainMachine78]

That cut of meat is pretty lean, could easily dry out during the cooking process. The fat from the ham provides flavor and moisture.

[milkshakeuk]

ok ..how did he manage to get the flat fat roll?

[smurfiennes]

moroccon filling. great! but the parmaham on the outside...????

[houchi69]

is it me or it looks like something else........xD

[GravitationLova]

He's so handsome. The food looks great as well. <3~

[RaisinBran2009]

Damn that looks goooood!

[bananafeatures]

[rsk8ter55]

That looks aboslutely DELICIOUS!
