Lamb Neck Taco Induced Visions | Matty Matheson | Just A Dash | Ep. 10

- Dad is really low today, it's his self-esteem. So I really want you to go deep into me, really cut me. Really tell me how, what do you think I'm doing wrong. The flour tortillas will take 15 minutes. I had 15 minutes in this episode, maybe there was nothing. Excitement because everything went as planned and maybe it's

just

a good show, it can't be a good show. Just be a good show. This is all coming together, so I know it has to make me fall and break down and get angry and hate myself and say, no one is going to watch this episode.

I think I've given enough, you know, the pressure that everyone puts on me. I'm

just

trying to teach people how to cook. (soft classical music) I don't even have a therapist. You and me here and now, this is all we have. we have each other (dramatic music) So today on Just A Dash, the best cooking show ever, we're going to do two things that I love. One, cook a

lamb

neck

, ugh, two, cook, homemade flour tortillas. If you have friends who come over and see you making fresh tortillas, you look like a fucking champion. Today I am going to prepare homemade flour tortillas for you.

And then I'm going to make a kind of Agrodolce, a kind of sweet and sour sauce with a crunchy celery sauce. We are going to make

lamb

taco

s. Well. Who really cares anyway? Right guys. So will we get through it? Shall we walk through the Dehesas del Cordero? Watching the flowers whistling in the wind, we are going to have fun. The first is the first. We're going to add a little bit of canola oil right to the bottom of a frying pan. Then I just need to season my lamb neck. This is legitimately a neck of lamb.

That's the neck. Those are the vertebrae, there's a game right there. No, I'm Lammy. This is what lamb tastes like. We're just going to season it with a little salt. Yes Yes Yes yes Yes. This is a very easy stew because I just want to braise it, right? Oh. So what I really want to do is maybe start with a dish cloth. I found them like this. Good. We want it. (laughs) It starts, it all starts. What are those things called? A battle rope. Tug of war. Like in Just A Dash? How the hell do we get through this?

It's an emotional tug-of-war all day long. This has taken a long time. So let's keep moving. Well. We are going to make the dough for the flour tortillas. We have two cups of all-purpose flour, thanks to a tablespoon of baking powder, two pinches of salt. We're going to mix that in now, a quarter cup of lard into our dough. So you just take it and you like work with your fingers, make sure you break it up. You know, take the fat and mix it with the flour. I'm going to turn our, beautiful. We're just Browning, our neck of lamb.

Now we're going to add half a cup of literally hot tap water. That's hot, just pour a little bit in the middle and now just take your wooden spoon and stir in one more time, add a little bit more and stir in and finally add the rest and stir in. This is how we have made our flour dough. We let it rest for about 10 minutes. And now we're going to divide this into 10 balls. I really like to work it almost like it's a big log, five pieces there. Five pieces there. Just put a little floured surface here.

Get the ball rolling. Just rounding off the little flower. We'll let these balls hang for another 10 minutes and then cook them. I have my lamb neck all golden brown. And now pour three cups of beef broth. It's only half covered. And now we're just going to bring this down. We are going to cook it over low heat for three hours. And from that, we are going to have the best. Neck of lamb you've ever seen. Three hours is a long time to wait. It is not like this? But that's just a show, so buckle up. Let's watch all the Star Wars movies right now. (dramatic music) Well, one more, give me 60 seconds, for you?

Sixty more seconds... Good. Come on. Fuck off. I don't mind. Damn hit record, you call my, - We've been rolling - You call my bluff. My bluff is Oh, (creepy noise), so we have this beautiful, rich broth. Do you hear the bones? And then, we take out the lamb neck. We leave that aside. Oh, big fat piece, I don't care if I do, now let's make an Agrodolce. So we have braising liquid here, correct? Correct. We have lamb neck here, right? Correct. Now let's make it spicy. We are going to cut a lot of peppers. Add the type of pepper you want.

We have some bananas, some jalapeño seeds and we are making this spicy. I'm done with this shit. We're making it fucking spicy. And then we'll just throw in some onion. What will make this really sticky is having a cup of sugar. We are going to add, in equal parts, red wine vinegar. Oh fuck. These containers are really good. Mh, mh These containers are perfect. So let's try this right now. You know, this face doesn't lie. One thing I am not is a liar because I am not going to lie to you. The world is flat, for sure.

This thing is fucking crack. We are in good places. I love you guys. Every cooking show is full of lies. It is full of absolute lies, but not here, there is no lie. (suspense music) Very good. And we have reduced it. And suddenly he gets into this like a sticky, sticky sauce, Agrodolce. This will be fine right now. That's all it works. Oh, it's burning my tongue. So take this by the bone and literally shred this lamb, you can see it's still nice and pink on the inside. Oh Lord. Lamb neck is the perfect meat to prepare.

Tacos. Oh, someone made it up to me. (creepy noise) Okay. It happens every five minutes on this show. And that's what happens with Just A Dash. You will see. And now we just add a few tablespoons of our Agrodolce here. Just pour all that out. (suspenseful drum beats) Should we try some of this? This is crazy, man. Just A Dash is going completely crazy around town. (somber instrumental music) That's a bit of a slap in the back for Matty. Oh Lord. I don't even know what to do. Well. So now we have a dry skillet over medium heat.

You don't need it too hot. We have our tortilla balls. Now we are going to spread them as thin as we can. Do we just spread our tortillas? How cool is this bag? Without getting the flour dirty. I love this trick. Thanks, Brad. Take it off. Check it out. We take out our flour tortilla and, once in a dry pan, we leave it because there is a very fine line. Suddenly these will get crunchy and you don't want them crunchy. They will turn into toast. They will be crispy. That's good for me. You want them to be soft and like (gibberish), so you take them and put them on a little hot towel or you just keep rolling them out.

I like the fact that they all have different shapes just because I'm horrible at this. I like that two were two here in just one start. How is this called? And you just build them. You deploy them. You put them in the hot pan. You take them out. You turn them over, you put them on the towel, you steam, steam, steam, steam. You know, these are going to be so good. You don't want many friends. Like you'd be able to smash like three of these in the face. So don't invite too many friends. This is like, maybe it's just you and me.

It's all about cooking at home and you should make fresh tortillas. That's very easy. You saw me do it. I am the worst best cook in the world. Cool. Beautiful. Some flour tortillas. Let's keep them warm. Alright guys, let's keep them warm. We have our Agrodolce lamb neck. We have our fresh flour tortillas and now I want to make a crunchy and delicious cream. We are going to add a little fresh cream, very rich. Add almost equal parts, parmesan cheese always works and chop up some cilantro. And this is what will really cool down that spicy, spicy, spicy Agrodolce, the Agrodolce is so spicy.

And then what I want to do is add a little bit of crunch. I think celery would be great for that. And we're going to slice and dice this as thin as we can, literally saying that slicing and dicing is the stupidest thing ever. Sorry guys. You know, but we literally have to cut and chop the celery, zest and lime juice. Great Matty. Great, a little cream of celery. You put that in a nice bowl in Just A Dash. What matters most to me is the flavor. You know, let's make it nice. Must? It's almost like, I'm doing something weird with Tzatziki, but not like a Tzatziki.

Because we don't use cucumber. We are using celery. (singing) Make sure your pan is nice and hot. Let's just wake him up. These beautiful flour tortillas. Yeah. You just want them a little puffy, a little leopard, nice and warm, okay? And then we're just going to serve some of our Agrodolce lamb neck. Oh Lord. A little bit of cream celery, (gentle tapping) (whistle) Fresh tortilla. Flaky leopard flour omelet. (soft music) man oh man, oh man oh man oh man Oh man, that's so good, that's crazy, wow, wow, wow! The peppers are waking up. Wow, my oily sinuses make me (snort) bring it all over my body.

s, flour tortillas, Agrodolce and just a really beautiful cucumber. I must have feta cheese. I don't think I've ever cooked feta cheese. I don't think I've ever done anything Greek. Maybe one day I'll do Greek. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh. Damn, I'm eating another one. Oh Lord. The tortilla is very hot in my hand. Holy shit. Well. Hey, I have to toughen it up. Chef's hands, chef's hands. A little bit of Squitch a little bit of our cream. I'm an emotional guy. I wear my heart on my sleeve, sometimes I would really gain weight for you.
