As I mentioned before today I will dedicate this blog to the amazing Jonathan Waxman and thank him {hopefully someone from his team reads this} for the amazing cooking lesson he gave us and being such a great guy, espeially with your truly.
"You shave the fat off... shave it" were his words as he explained how to trim the fat off the lamb chops he was going to prepare at Bubble Q. First he explaned the whole process to the general public and then went around the room person by person teaching them how to do it right... priceless!
Back to onions over here... ha! Did you know that onions flavors changes depending which was you cut them? Now I do thanks to him and apparently for a marinade the best was is not in rings but the opposite way.
Onions, wine, garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil and finally add the trimmed lamb chops and marinate overnight... A simple recipe that enhances the natural flavor of the lamb itself.
To give the final touches to the dish and the priceless 3 hour lesson blood oranges for the dish and how to use a chef's knife for us... By the way, he said the following: always use a really sharp knife because more accidents happend with dull knives than sharp ones, hold it firmly using the forfinger and the thimb to hold the blade, and last but not least... take your time and practice!
Have a great day my friends and hope you run into a fantastic person today!
Wow! THis is how to cook for a large group! You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the skills of a professional chef, not that I'll ever put that much work into it but it looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how fun! That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy knife skills leave much to be desired. I need a refresher class! I learned once a few years ago, but have reverted back to my old ways :(
It looks like such an amazing masterclass! You'll have to tell us more about this onion business-I'm dying to know how the flavor changes!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a terrific class to take! I had no idea about the different onion flavors. Good to know! I did know about the knife though. There's really nothing worse than a dull blade.
ReplyDeleteThe onion tip is so helpful! never knew! Thank you for sharing his vast amount of cooking knowledge.
ReplyDeletewoah, fun fact about onions! i had no idea the flavor changed. i think we usually cut them the way he's doing it in the photo just because it's easier to mix in dishes that way. very interesting...
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I didn't know the fact about onions. I will have to look into that more. x
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to take a cooking class specifically to learn little nuggets of information like the onion tips. As I love Ina Garten (and Jeffrey too!) I want the ability to create meals on the fly.
