    My Greek salad uses chopped fresh rosemary, thyme and oregano. (1:2:3 ratio) - Lemon zest, lemon juice & red wine vinegar for acidic emulsion of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Can make a decent sized batch and keep in a glass bottle in fridge for summer/fall when we have lots of fresh veg. Sheep feta only, and good imported Kalamatas are key tbh. Love the leg of lamb!! I find 3.5H is enough to covert the connective tissue to collagen (like doing beef rib etc) although that full shank takes longer to penetrate as opposed to the small ones you see around. Carrots after that amount of time might want to be replaced tho, depends on your taste! Beautiful job! I think I sear mine first, like most braising techniques tho :)

      Thanks for the comment sir. I'd be interested to see how this turns out with a little sear.

    Thanks for the shout out. That was so cool. Also, no worries, you said my name perfectly the first time. Thank you.
    For the garlic thing to work you need something heavier like steel mixing bowls. The extra mass smashing into the cloves helps peel them better. Not totally (in most cases), but it does speed it up. Also if you want to try the flour paste around the rim of a dutch oven use an oval shaped one for the leg to fit. It's pretty cool and satisfying to chip away at the desiccated flour structure afterwards.

    • @mitchmai
      @mitchmai  9 місяців тому

      Course! Ya know I had a feeling it’s fun cracking into the dough mixture, if I get a bigger Dutch oven I totally will try that

    Great work on tackling a whole leg of lamb. It looks delicious. I would say, PERFECT! The Greek salad looks outstanding. As for the dairy volcano, Bourdain was correct… Chef-on!!!✅
    Now I'm craving one. I guess it is time to call in the posse.

    I do lamb like that but I put it under the broiler for a few minutes to get deeper colour and just a bit of a crust.

    Wow. Just found this channel and can't believe someone is doing this with the Les Halles cookbook! Subscribed! Can't wait for the Beef Bourguignon and Gratin Dauphinois, my 2 favorite recipes from the cookbook. I used to eat there back in the late 90's and miss it so much.

    • @mitchmai
      @mitchmai  9 місяців тому

      Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found me. Hopefully I can scratch that itch for the 'documenting' it really is a journey that's for sure. By all means if you start a channel let me know I love to spread the word.

    Way too long a comment but isn't Bordain worth a little concentration? Besides I think what you are doing is astonishing....
    Thank you for your channel - any minor errors are totally forgiven because AB gave us all so much (if only we would have listened) and we gave him so little he killed himself.
    From my studies ive noticed this happens with many of "the Greats" - too many.... so he is in amazing company: Reminds me of Beethoven for example: after his death reading his personal papers the man's profound loneliness, When he lost his hearing the musicians who were so jealous of him before made his life a misery. He was mocked etc humiliated. It nearly killed him, but it didn't. As in all Promethean journeys the Hero of Story gives way way way more than he ever asked because he lived for work.....only after his death did people realize how little attention was paid to his needs - even by fans.....nobody succeeded or even tried to alleviate Beetoven's terrible loneliness.....even after he creates music not unlike what would become jazz before he died in 1827........Piano Sonata 32 Arieta.....people said it was evidence he was nuts....) Nobody wanted to face his pain least of all Beethoven. As a shrink I can tell you they are "difficult" - many whose job it is to help lazily blame the challenge on the patient instead of taking a cold look in the mirror but I digress,,,,To get a feel for the connection between Beethoven and Bordain check out the second movement of the Symphony no 7 its a slow sad walking pace that is rife with pain. It's a universal experience because at some point we all walk alone in pain....thats life. ......Sorry this is a lot but you have totally inspired me with your channel. I will introduce myself at another time. This is not about me its about what you are doing for Bordain....
    Bordain's wisdom was far too easily dismissed because of his humility. He had good caring people in his life and this was good. It absolved us all for not looking deeper....(another shink neurotic glitch) But there was a dark wound somewhere, that even ordain's radical honesty couldn't touch and served as an opportunity for something nasty and death driven (perhaps formerly known as a Satanic force in the words of the ancients) to get its hooks in, convincing him that death was the only and obvious path....in old stories about human meaning in general God is for life and aliveness "the Glory of God is a human being fully alive" obviously on the other side is the enemy who is all about death- in all manner of forms from people hiding from the world drinking or doom scrolling instead of living sacrificing the power of their present moments to Tik Tock....to killing themselves....Check out CS Lewis the Screwtape Letters and maybe you might realize that you in fact know what the damn hook was....I apologize if you know all about these explanatory digressions: I need to explain my sources because the point I want to make is complex, subtle, layered like a good sauce perhaps.....You are bringing him back to us, in moments, in these videos....I find myself going along and then I can hear his voice and it's not necessarily a quote......
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being the good Horatio - the guy Hamlet knows will tell the honest story after he is dead.
    Bordain was criminally under appreciated on so many levels in our culture d...D\uring his lifetime. I did not have the privilege of knowing him except in passing, but I ate at Les Halles when he was there at what was in retrospect the best time of my life. We both know he was WAY more than a cook - thank you also for bringing this out.
    Through you I can hear something of his voice again.....delighted to subscribe, like and ring the damn bell. Gaby

    Also, what is wrong with you? You know darn well the purpose off cooking to scream and disrespect people and act like you're super cool. I mean, AB didn't do that, but he was way weird.
