Lamb, potatoes, salsa verde. Oh. And a bit of feta. Nice. Yeah, just nice herbs, you know, and a nice bit of lamb. I'll fire the lamb on first.
That's a lovely, what is that?
Leg steak, John.
So no bones.
No bones.
And very little fat.
Very little fat. And just a wee bit of oil on that. And then a bit of salt. A nice bit of salt. Don't be shy with the salt. And that's at room temperature. You know, brought that out about an hour ago. It's been sitting. Yeah, and I'm just going to fire this on. And another bit of salt on the other side. I'm just going to throw on a couple of spuds around the sides.
Of the barbie?
What’s the best way to grill baby potatoes for a smoky flavor?
Yeah, so what I've done is just boiled some baby potatoes.
Uh-huh.
And then just give them a toss of oil.
So they're not peeled? No. I would never think of barbie on the spuds.
Oh, they're lovely. They're lovely. Because you get that nice smokiness and then they just cook up beautifully here.
And you're not looking to cook the spuds because they're cooked?
The spuds are cooked, John. We're just looking really to mark them.
And those lamb leg steaks are quite thick.
Yeah, they are, yeah.
So how long will that take?
About five minutes. Right. I'll shut that down and give that a wee, you know, let them cook away. And then we'll work on our salsa verde.
Smells good already. Doesn't it? So what makes a salsa verde?
It just means green sauce.
Okay.
Mint.
Is that out of the garden? Yeah. Look at that. I know. You should be in Gardener's Corner never mind this programme.
How is the herb‑packed salsa verde made and why use white balsamic?
I've been saying that for a while now, John. You're wasted. Gardener's Corner for sure.
David Maxwell couldn't grow mint like that.
Can you imagine me in Gardener's Corner? Like there's bluffing and then there's bluffing. Well, you have a significant herb garden. I do, actually, John. But do you know what? I went yesterday morning to get some rosemary. And I thought, I knew there was somebody that I know I could steal it from because they wouldn't be up. But I thought, I'll take my own rosemary. And actually, do you know what? I was actually shocked. Because the last time I'd been round at it, it looked like it was, you know... On the way out? It was on the way out. It was beautiful.
So what was that?
Sorry, basil, mint and parsley. Right, and that's your basis there. I'll have a wee look at my lamb. Here, I might need a wee turn.
Look at the lamb.
Look at that, John.
Now will these spuds still be able to take some butter?
I'm not using butter today.
Oh really? You're going all continental.
You're adopting the Mediterranean lifestyle. I'm sorry this isn't radio that people couldn't have seen your eye roll there.
Why add scallions to the grill and how does it affect the dish?
Do you have some? I take it you have some in the fridge.
I have some. I'll give you some.
That's okay.
So a couple of capers just for a bit of tang. Mustard.
Dijon mustard.
This isn't traditional, but I just adore gherkins. So a couple of wee gherkins. A bit of salt.
Capers are vegetables, aren't they?
Capers are the stamen of a flower, you know, a flower head when it goes to seed.
Right.
See, if you don't like capers, don't put them in. That's it. It'll not make much of a difference. We've got... And we want that sort of pasty, John. And you see that wee bit of mustard there? That just gives that a nice creaminess. Look at that there.
Yes, and it's not runny.
It's not, no. Now, everything here is looking lovely. Look at the spuds, John. And you know what? I'm not using butter today because you see that? That's salsa verde. When you're just on the nice hot spuds, it'll be lovely.
What’s the purpose of letting the lamb rest before slicing?
Without butter? Yeah, honestly.
Okay. I can't help noticing a wee glass of something that looks alcoholic.
That was just white balsamic, sorry. Oh, right. And do you know why I'm using white balsamic? Because I forgot to buy lemons. And actually, I quite like it.
