Just to clear a few things up... Diapers = Nappies Trunk = Boot Sidewalk = Footpath Eggplant = Aubergine Eggplant = Aubergine Eggplant = Aubergine It all depends on where you live.
Been making this for years although I chop the Eggplant with skin into small dice and roast on high and then add the herbs and garlic half way through. I proceed with lemon juice and I use Greek yogurt not sour cream. I also add a pinch of crushed red pepper and chopped toasted walnuts too for texture. Such a great flavor! U
Tried this yesterday. It was amazing. I also liked the vegetarian jabs. Made an otherwise routine cooking demonstration rather funny. This is why the guy is a multi-millionaire.
I love how he says, "If you can't get sour cream, use creme fraiche." In the US, I find sour cream everywhere but had to go to Wegmans to get creme fraiche.
E.g. Sweden, I literally saw only buckets of creme fraiche, no sour cream to be seen, which was lucky for me since I live in Latvia and you cannot get Creme Fraiche here, seriously, no store in any of the cities sell it, not exaggerating.
he might be a bit of a tool at times but his recipes/presentation is sharp , short and amazing...i won't have him over a for a drink but will always use his recipes...
i just love aubergines. if you go to turkey you'll eat them in millions of different ways :) and can i just say that i adore how ramsay always has a dig at vegetarians. cracks me all the time :)
Haven't tried leaving it outside the fridge, but I think it should do all right. Keeping it cool is a matter of texture preference and making it better to preserve. Go for it
i really love this , especially for christmass meal, though we make it less complicated.... and it still, tastes incredible. 1.Bake or grill 4 or 5 medium sized aubergines in a 200 C preheated oven for about 30 min.( With skin on ) 2.After they are done try to remove the skin while they are hot, 3.Mash with a knife,or if you like a more smooth texture, blend it 4.Add one mashed onion. 5. Season with salt, pepper and drizzle some oil( we use sunflower oil, as olive oil we have in supermarkets tastes bitter) , mix well. 5.Leave it to chill, it tastes better when its cold At this step , the aubergine caviar tastes really fresh and rich, but some people add mayo to it ( it really tastes amazing ! ), and some add 2 or 3 diced tomatoes to it ! Try it both ways !
you all failed to mention how he actually handles the aubergine with his bare hands, isn't that what is actually super hot or am I missing something here?
Made this, it is sooooo delicious! Put parsley instead of coriander, dry thyme instead of fresh thyme, and sea salt instead of rock salt. But it still became one of the most delicious things i've ever tasted! Bravo Gordon Ramsay 😀😁
@poputchica and thats called pressure of a world-class chef. Constantly having the fear, to bring the best out of yourself. Which is perfectly natural.
I am arab in I can't believe he made this dish lol . Its called mtabal here and its an appetizer that basically EVERYONE makes its as famous as hummus..
It's wrapped in tinfoil. Tinfoil almost perfectly reflects and insulates heat, that's why it's always used in BBQ and baking to bake or roast whatever's inside without crisping or burning the food. Hence the tinfoil is only slightly warm to the touch on the outside.
Ah, someone familiar with Indian food. Still the most under-appreciated cuisine in the world. I'm not Indian, but I've been studying it exclusively for just under 5 years now. Eggplant is my obsession. It seems somewhere in India and the Middle east, they discovered that smokiness+eggplant=heaven. As in the south indian Bagara Baignan and the Middle-eastern Babaganoush. Of note aswell, sesame, peanut, coconut, tamarind, and jaggery seem to turn baby eggplants into something magical and heavenly.
Guys I jut made this and let me tell you that this was soooo good. Its very rich and satisfying. The portion he mde here with two eggplants is enough for 10 people almost. This stuff is so filling that i had the leftovers the next day for lunch. Seriously make this.
bwarrior83 Really? I'm not a vegetarian but you have to give them credit, they have to go through a lot to make sure that here is no meat products in their food.
In US its probably similar to clabber. Creamy and slightly sour, but the important thing is unlike cream or yoghurt, its less likely to curdle when its heated
Rock salt and other coarse salts take up more volume than fine table salt, which makes it seem like you're using more. And how often you season doesn't always reflect how much you season. But in the end it all comes down to personal taste.
Large crystal salts are actually *less* 'salty' per amount than finer ones. It has to do with the surface area of the salt. Proportionally, a grain of table-salt has something like 30-40x the surface area than a grain of sea salt. What that means is the tongue is able to taste more of it at once. Seriously, go give a try. Take a piece of sea salt, and then get a similarly sized amount of finer salt. Put one in your mouth and tell me which tastes saltier.
I have this vegan aunt who always complains about not having any options during the holidays. I want to make this so that she can eat up and shut up. What is a good vegan/gluten free substitute for the sour cream? And no, she isn't gluten intolerant, she does it for the diet fad.
MediaPlusCulture Or probably because he's getting on up in years, and as George mentioned, he was a footballer. Having fat on the body doesn't mean you're unhealthy. Ever seen power-lifters?
Im with you. I had no idea those were even Eggplants at first. The first commenter probably knows very little about the US but he likes to be up on his high horse xD
i did the same with his salt baked pineapple a couple days ago and couldn't figure out why it seemed wrong. Then watching this it dawned on me that these were made by a Scottish guy. Oh well, live and learn. I suppose, that's what makes cooking fun and exciting
I'm not a vegetarian, but I find it a bit disrespectful of him to show that kind of sass and attitude toward them. I love Ransey, I watch him every day. The problem I have is that on many occasions, he seems to imply that vegetarians are in some way strange or less than when it comes to culinary arts. "Eat up, and shut up" is obviously a remark toward vegetarians, when you consider that remark immediately fallowed "If by some bizarre reason you have someone that comes around, that happens to be a vegetarian." Not cool Ramsey.
Dalion Heart No, it's not...unless you don't eat meat for religious or allergy-related reasons, professional chefs really don't tend to see any reason for people to not eat meat. It's been a staple in the diet of humankind for the last...ever. Since the beginning of humankind. Besides, it's their kitchen, and they're the ones cooking it - they don't need to cater to people's specific needs.
I think its because vegetarians are very staunch. It just makes life harder for others who aren't. Which is why vegetarians bring their own lunchboxes around! And really, i dont wna know why a vegetarian is a vegetarian.
I like how he says "if you can't get ahold of sour cream get creme fraiche" like sour cream is some exotic ingredient that you have to hunt around to find. Perhaps its less common in England.
Food dishes travel from region to region, gaining different names and traditions along the way. The "original" baba ghanoush comes from the Levant region (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel) but travel north and you will find patlıcan salatası in Turkey, melitzanosalata in Greece, kyopolou in Bulgaria and salată de vinete in Romania. All these dishes have slightly different traditional preparations. You can claim they all "stole" from the Levant, but that would be poor semantics.
when your guest arrive and say: 'what is that?'
say 'yea, welcome, merry christmas. that is perfect aubergine caviar.'
lol
***** what do you mean first thing you say? haha
say it all the time
nothing wrong with bare essentials like perfect aubergine cavier
Eat up and shut up
😂😂😂😂😂
What a talented person that combines rapping, dancing and cooking.
Gumiho Tame rapping?
Really, because I think he's a utter asshole, and not a very original cook to boot.
Gumiho Tame this made me lol
@@monkeygraborange You think he's an asshole because of a deliberately exaggerated persona he plays on a TV show. Also, not very original?
“And if for some strange reason you have a vegetarian round” xD
with tin foil skills like that Ramsay would make a mean weed dealer
CareFreeWherever I bet he could roll a nice fatty
Imagine the fuckin brownies he'd make
+CareFreeWherever epic
A great conspiracy theorist, too.

"if you can't get hold of sour cream, get creme fraiche"
I'm pretty sure for most people it's the other way around haha
+mikomonday no its really not
+Lars Carlsen I see that argument bait. lol
+Roy Mahinay I live in a small town and have never seen creme fraiche in any of the local stores.
+Sam Rader or you have never looked for it
Tim Horton Because you've been to Pineville, right?
my boy gordon ramsay really just chopped at godly speeds tho
It so soft
Just to clear a few things up...
Diapers = Nappies
Trunk = Boot
Sidewalk = Footpath
Eggplant = Aubergine
Eggplant = Aubergine
Eggplant = Aubergine
It all depends on where you live.

Been making this for years although I chop the Eggplant with skin into small dice and roast on high and then add the herbs and garlic half way through. I proceed with lemon juice and I use Greek yogurt not sour cream. I also add a pinch of crushed red pepper and chopped toasted walnuts too for texture.
Such a great flavor! U
So... you don't follow the recipe at all...
Just got done making this stuff. It is so worth the effort. Absolutely delicious!
When I served it to my family, I said with the same intonation “that is perfect aubergine caviar”, and gave them that Ramsay’s look
These are by far my favorite Ramsay videos.
Made these yesterday. Amazing. Thank you Mr. Ramsay
that is basically Baba Ghanoush minus the Tahini
Aza tru
And one clove of garlic
That is basically Mirza Ghassemi if you replace the cream with or without eggs.
Yeah, but caviar sounds more posh.
Mtabbal
Tried this yesterday. It was amazing. I also liked the vegetarian jabs. Made an otherwise routine cooking demonstration rather funny. This is why the guy is a multi-millionaire.
Made this before, it was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend this recipe!
Super great recipe ! thx so much !
I can't wait to try this recipe! This looks amazing!
I tried this recipe for the first time and it's bloody delicious and at the same time so easy to cook!
Thanks for sharing!
One of the best cooking videos from GR. Lovely :-)
the editing in this is incredibly early-2000's stylé
I love how he says, "If you can't get sour cream, use creme fraiche." In the US, I find sour cream everywhere but had to go to Wegmans to get creme fraiche.
That tin foil is FUCKING RAW
I love your English, I understand every word. I am going to cook it the exact way you did.
Thanks you for this wonderful meal.
It IS a great pleasure toi do it, and ,toi et.
Thank you Mr Gordon. I live in France, near to Royan.
The man knows his shit.
I feel like this would be much less attractive if every time he said "aubergine", he replaced it with "eggplant."
British English calls it aubergine.
+WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Blue is a color
***** My dick is hard.
Colour.
Red is red
lift
Fried this purple aubergine / eggplant myself for the first time this week, nice to see a way to cook it like this, may give that a try too.
Combinations like this one are absolutely out of my mind..
i love how he says sour cream is harder to get than creme fraische
Euihwan Kim He says that if you can't get a hold of sour cream (which, in some areas, can be the case), get crème fraîche.
Nuance ;)
It's harder to get than crème fraîche in Europe.
Honestly, given how bad some regional Us sour creams are... it might be worth your trouble to make creme fraiche
E.g. Sweden, I literally saw only buckets of creme fraiche, no sour cream to be seen, which was lucky for me since I live in Latvia and you cannot get Creme Fraiche here, seriously, no store in any of the cities sell it, not exaggerating.
In USA we have sour cream up the ass.
One of my favourite , meaning = rarely used .
Lmao
he might be a bit of a tool at times but his recipes/presentation is sharp , short and amazing...i won't have him over a for a drink but will always use his recipes...
What a great simple recipe!
omg the way he strokes those aubergines *__* I wish I was one of them
You want him to stroke you're Johnson? 2019 don't ask don't tell,
*When my parents judge my cooking*
"Eat up and shut up"
🤣🤣
Not funny. Be quiet.
No one ask you.
made this yesterday, had a very peculiar texture to it, great taste
You're a real word weaver aren't you? A master of argument and expression. You've totally convinced me there. Congrats.
Aubergine caviar -- baklazhannaya ikra -- is a traditional Russian dish. I wonder what the babushkas would think of this version.
This is babaghanou recipe, except that you use yogurt instead of creme fraiche :) A Lebanese recipe.. nice!
Salma Slaoui You mean baba ghanoush?
Salma Slaoui u mean baba ghanoush
No, she means babaghanou.
i just love aubergines. if you go to turkey you'll eat them in millions of different ways :)
and can i just say that i adore how ramsay always has a dig at vegetarians. cracks me all the time :)
I just love you Gordon!
"what is that?"
"Yeah, welcome. Merry Christmas. That is Aubergine caviar."
lololololol I love him!
that knife speed
Haven't tried leaving it outside the fridge, but I think it should do all right. Keeping it cool is a matter of texture preference and making it better to preserve. Go for it
good simple recipe, thanks
"now eat up, and shut up!" lol that made me laugh:p
Why the fuck would sour cream be harder to find than creme freche?
IKR
W Ward he's saying if your store ran out of sour cream.
In France it's easier to find Creme Fraiche.
Trust me you won't find sour cream in Belgium. People substitute it with cream fraîche.
I don't think I've ever seen creme fraiche in an American store
i really love this , especially for christmass meal, though we make it less complicated.... and it still, tastes incredible.
1.Bake or grill 4 or 5 medium sized aubergines in a 200 C preheated oven for about 30 min.( With skin on )
2.After they are done try to remove the skin while they are hot,
3.Mash with a knife,or if you like a more smooth texture, blend it
4.Add one mashed onion.
5. Season with salt, pepper and drizzle some oil( we use sunflower oil, as olive oil we have in supermarkets tastes bitter) , mix well.
5.Leave it to chill, it tastes better when its cold
At this step , the aubergine caviar tastes really fresh and rich, but some people add mayo to it ( it really tastes amazing ! ), and some add 2 or 3 diced tomatoes to it ! Try it both ways !
This dude's a world renowned chef, I think he knows what he's doing.
He sometimes has a funny ideas though...like Worcestershire sauce in a bolognese....
3:57 ok, Gordon could be a good drummer too.
TFW he grabs 200 degree metal with his bare hands.
I think he had heat gloves? at least 1 I saw
His love of food is infectious.
That sounds pretty fantastic!
3:15 "just unwrapped them, then smell when you get inside there"..
hahhaaha , sounds sexual to me.. lol
3:08 After your foil wrapped aubergines have been in a 200°C oven for 35min - try taking them out with your bare hands. Good luck
well since aluminum fail retains heat pretty poorly, you can take them out bare handed. also he had a towel on the hand he placed them in.
O yes,if you whana stay wishout fingers...
Tin foil does not burn you, it's such a thin piece of metal that it does not retain much heat.
Danny Smith he's a chef they call it asbestos fingers from them being burned so much the skin goes thick and they don't burn any more
you all failed to mention how he actually handles the aubergine with his bare hands, isn't that what is actually super hot or am I missing something here?
I have made this many times. definitely a wow factor! very delicious recipe. xo
Bullshit. Even with the finest baguette it was a waste of time and ingredients. The English seriously blow at food.
Made this, it is sooooo delicious! Put parsley instead of coriander, dry thyme instead of fresh thyme, and sea salt instead of rock salt. But it still became one of the most delicious things i've ever tasted! Bravo Gordon Ramsay 😀😁
200 celsius = 392 fahrenheit
NOOOOOOOOOO sour creme NOOOOOOOOOO!!
a lil bit of tahina, lemon juice and youve got baba ganoush!!
elia jab yup
Always love it when a video only take 13 seconds
@poputchica and thats called pressure of a world-class chef. Constantly having the fear, to bring the best out of yourself. Which is perfectly natural.
"if you cant get a hold of sour creme"
we have the opposite problem in america
I am arab in I can't believe he made this dish lol . Its called mtabal here and its an appetizer that basically EVERYONE makes its as famous as hummus..
Allah Hu Akbar!
+Jim Roland kaboom
katsumoto empire Lol, we have the courtesy of speaking this Arabic gentleman language
Its called baigan ka bharta here in india, made without the sour cream though
sa7777 ullah I didn't realize it was mtabal XDDD
It's wrapped in tinfoil. Tinfoil almost perfectly reflects and insulates heat, that's why it's always used in BBQ and baking to bake or roast whatever's inside without crisping or burning the food. Hence the tinfoil is only slightly warm to the touch on the outside.
For anyone that may have had trouble finding it. Rock salt can be substituted with kosher salt, and in some areas the names are interchangeable.
I know you! You're Jaimie Oliver! :D
Oh my lord ! He just made a blander version of the " Baingan ka Bharta"
hahaha....good one

*aubergines* they're called *aubergines*
With the way he's doing it, it won't get totally over powered
Ramsay is a chef GENIUS! 😭
Eat up, and shut up
He doesnt like vegetarians
One more Good reason To admire him.
Diirty Davis Who does?
bwarrior83 vegetarians
bwarrior83 Really? I'm not a vegetarian but you have to give them credit, they have to go through a lot to make sure that here is no meat products in their food.
Which just stresses their idiocy.
Thank you very much.
In US its probably similar to clabber. Creamy and slightly sour, but the important thing is unlike cream or yoghurt, its less likely to curdle when its heated
Something like baingan ka bharta or baba ghanoush
Gordon likes vegetarians as much as I do
you guys should love vegeterians, more meat for you. no logic in humans.
love this man
it's a libanese dish (Baba Ghanoush )... there are several versions of it ; in some of them they add tahini (sesams paste), cumin...
The food looks amazing but fuck me does he use so much salt
That's why you taste and season as you go.
I know, and I always season as i go with taste, but gordon just seems to use SO much
Rock salt and other coarse salts take up more volume than fine table salt, which makes it seem like you're using more. And how often you season doesn't always reflect how much you season.
But in the end it all comes down to personal taste.
Large crystal salts are actually *less* 'salty' per amount than finer ones. It has to do with the surface area of the salt.

Take a piece of sea salt, and then get a similarly sized amount of finer salt. Put one in your mouth and tell me which tastes saltier.
Eggplant is tough to cook with. He uses so much because it really needs the extra help to pull out the flavor.
We call this dish "MTABAL" we mix it with tahini and lemon juice
This video was so adorable
yeah welcome..merry christmas! KING
I have this vegan aunt who always complains about not having any options during the holidays. I want to make this so that she can eat up and shut up. What is a good vegan/gluten free substitute for the sour cream? And no, she isn't gluten intolerant, she does it for the diet fad.
+AnimeLover4Life3395 there is vegan sour cream pre made at health food stores sometime, or online for example amazon .
tell her there is a vegetarian option: she can fuck off
+Solublemoth made my day thanks XD
Coconut milk?
+AnimeLover4Life3395 damn your aunt sucks
he always wears baggy clothes to hide his moobs lol
He may have moobs but he was once a professional footballer, and now he's a world class chef. Now tell me, what are you? :)
Probably because he's a meat eater.
MediaPlusCulture
Or probably because he's getting on up in years, and as George mentioned, he was a footballer. Having fat on the body doesn't mean you're unhealthy. Ever seen power-lifters?
hes actually a competitor in ironman competitions hes very healthy and fit
Friji_ He tells everyone he was a professional footballer but he wasn't. When he worked for Raymond Blanc he was known as Billy Bullshit.
he is amazing
Very nice!!!
It looks like baby puke
justin jacques Yeah but it's soooooooo good! I make it like once a week at least.
XD Baby puke is best
I love how he mocks vegetarians, it's hilarious.
Haha, you just have to love the Gordon Ramsay "delicious" he always says after tasting his own food
Great ! thank you, i start loving aubergine :D
Soooooo....you're making baba ganoush. C'mon Gordon. Just call it baba ganoush not caviar
I had no idea they called eggplant that in the UK. You learn something new every day!
Why the fuck would I be kidding? I can guarantee you there are about a million different things about the US that you don't know about dipshit.
Im with you. I had no idea those were even Eggplants at first. The first commenter probably knows very little about the US but he likes to be up on his high horse xD
eggplant just sounds the most fresh/retarded thing in humankind sorry, i mean,, eggplant, seriously WTF?? LOL
It's *aubergine* man, have some class =0
CA C It is also the same word in French
Dem knife skills though
i did the same with his salt baked pineapple a couple days ago and couldn't figure out why it seemed wrong. Then watching this it dawned on me that these were made by a Scottish guy. Oh well, live and learn. I suppose, that's what makes cooking fun and exciting
