How To Cook Meatballs, 3 recipes | Gordon Ramsay | Almost Anything

[Music] making it easy for yourself in the kitchen means using the time we have effectively and the one thing that can really help you do that is your freezer my recipe for meatballs is so versatile it can be used to make a dozen amazing dishes one of my favorites is meatballs in fragrant coconut broth having a freezer of home cooked delicious food ready to go can be a real lifesaver it means you never have to compromise on flavor these meatballs are delicious for more portly they free so well first off get your pan on and start sweating off your onions and your garlic this recipe involves making the meatballs in a classic way but the exciting path it's actually cook them in coconut milk I think it's a really nice new dimension to a sort of soft rich sumptuous meatball chop the only nice and finely even those slices very close together closer to slices the finer the only Pat it back down at an angle slice down and just chop what the onions nice and fine because I want some finesse to these meatballs mystique you have a really good meatball is the texture getting that balance right between the minced beef the breadcrumbs the milk and the seasoning a couple cloves of garlic slice the garlic really nice and thinly nice pan nice and hot a tablespoon of olive oil quite generous avilable onion and garlic in with such a salt and pepper with your mints open it up a little bit and sort of Pat it out salt and pepper for me a good meatball is all about the softness the texture of that rich beef and the way it sort of melts in your mouth you can color it on the outside but you want it nice and soft and sort of rich in the center mix that in beautifully and then paste it back out again I got some really nice dried chili flakes and the season the onions with the chili flakes chili flakes in cut that out for two minutes oonh add some milk [Music] take your breadcrumbs make a little well take four tablespoons of milk that makes it sort of nice slightly doughy texture but it lightens the texture of the meatball place that in at your onions your garlic and your chili in there as well nice move your hands in there and start mixing them if you've got the right amount of milk and bread crumbs it doesn't mean binding with an egg that may be too small problem with making them too small is the fact that they dry out quickly just size or golf ball little bit bigger nice really nice tie squeeze that stops it from breaking up it always pays to double the recipe and spend a bit more time making extra meatballs so you can freeze a batch ready for another time get the pan a little wipe out don't wash out that pan we've got that flavor from the onions and the garlic in the bottom get that pan nice and hot toast of olive oil in there place them on top of your pan nice and gently sit them in the oil pallet knife and go underneath them and just sort of tilt the pan and let the pan cook the back of the meatball we're going to add some heat coriander seeds of spicy peppery was a very nice flavour to the coconut milk in next some cardamom seeds three or four onto the board knife on in a little touch of turmeric into the center of the pan I'm gonna give it a really nice spicy flavor a little pinch cinnamon all the time you're doing this those meatballs are just getting tastier and taste yeah a couple of dry chilies let them infuse in their oil and then some lemongrass just take the back of your knife and sort of beat it down that starts to release all that lovely sort of fragrance Oh someone's just let off the most amazing fragrant air freshener in the lemongrass and finally some fresh ginger peel and slice nice and thinly time now to turn them over and let the other half a wonderful flavor tikki stop in bring the stock up the boil turn the gas up and then add the coconut milk and on the coconut milk just sitting underneath at the top of a meatball coconut milk in and that sort of gives it that creamy richness but it's not heavy it's a fragrant light richness before we start simmering to change seasoning a nice soft texture of the meatball without fragrance light richness of the coconut broth just going to cook those meatballs perfectly bring the broth up to the boil and simmer gently for eight to ten minutes [Music] touch them with your finger this should be slightly pliable but it slightly springy gas off I'm gonna finish it off with something light and fresh zest of lime but I want the zest on top of the meatball so I'll cut through that richness and then finally squeeze the fresh lime and that just gives it that nice zesty amazing taste stirring the juice mmm it's got like kick and then a vibrant taste now exciteing pal when you come to serve it be generous with that coconut broth tilt the pan get a good couple of ladles of the broth in mmm meatballs and that is a very delicious way of eating a old-fashioned meatball and bringing it into the 21st century and they're just as good cooked from frozen as one [Music] [Applause] [Music] the secret to stress-free cooking is making it easy for yourself there are three more recipes all based on my delicious freezer friendly meatballs just defrost

your life in the kitchen easier and stress-free amazing whether you're making great food to fries or to take straight to the table you need to know how to shop for the best ingredients next up my shopping guide to oils it doesn't matter if you're baking frying or dressing salads using the right oil can dramatically alter the taste and texture here are the most common oils and what to use them for sunflower oil is a good value all-rounder nice and light for frying bacon in dressings and spicy dishes ground us or peanut oil is great for cooking on high heat as it gets really hot without burning sesame oil a flavorsome sweet and nutty oil perfect sprinkled over Asian dishes before serving rapeseed oil is a healthier choice for using in salads I love walnut oil fantastically fragrant is brilliant for salad dressings and it gives cakes a distinctive flavor but the oil I use most in my cooking is olive oil to find some of the best olive oils sold in Britain you have to go to one of the most unlikely places an electrical shop in London's East End Turkish born mehmet murat has olive oil in his blood my family's produced this olive oil a centrist what he doesn't know about it isn't worth knowing the very best extra-virgin olive oil is first cold pressed it's actually pressed by stone and then it's put for a centrifugal spinner which spins out all the bitter waters and then you've got your pure olive oil cold-pressed olive oil and you've got to taste it to believe it for a little sample slurp it and draw it in without don't swallow it warm it in your mouth coat the whole of the inside of your mouth with it and then swallow it'll go down like fruit juice and it will leave no grease in us or oiliness in your mouth whatsoever absolutely sensational beautiful my favourite use of any olive oils is to pour it into a bowl room-temperature rub some wild oregano into it and get some fresh crusty bread and just dip it it's food on its own don't eat anything else [Music] coming up on my guide to making it easy more simple but dependable tips give that butter a little whisk sort of makes the mixture the bit lighter slightly fluffy my take on the ultimate bacon must-haves these three items are so cheap yet they are so important to great home cooking and a mouth-watering variation of the classic browning once it's cooled down take it out and start slicing
