May 4, 2023 | We're celebrating 20 years of Ottolenghi and so we're focusing each week on a key Ottolenghi ingredient that we use, love and want you to try. This episode is all about Preserved Lemons!
One of the Ottolenghi flavour bombs, we use preserved lemons to flavour meats and vegetables, sauces and marinades. The process is quite simple but requires a little planning (about 4 weeks to be exact), though preserved lemons are available to buy too.
Watch Yotam making preserved lemons, his preserved lemon roasted chicken as well as how to spatchcock a chicken - a great technique to reduce roasting time and a more even cooking.
Dec 12, 2013 • Channel 4 (More4), the TV station in the UK, presents the series "Ottolenghi's Mediterranean Island Feast". In this episode (first broadcast 21 November 2013) Yotam Ottolenghi visits Crete and explores its rich and complex culinary history.
In the ancient capital of Heraklion, Yotam makes a variation of the Cretan meze dakos, a marriage of tomatoes, crumbled feta, olives and oregano. In the fishing port of Agios Nikolaos, he marries octopus marinaded in wine with tender baby squid, stuffed with tomatoes and okra. On a trip inland, Yotam uses feta for a cheesecake with a ripe cherry compote. He also prepares a feast of spit-roasted pork souvlaki, served with his twist on tzatziki.
