for such food mob you will get some great discounts there and a great way supporting the show watching any movies lately iron ah not really not too busy to date fixing your oh well keeping at one now too busy fixing your mic that's all I'm gonna saw the mic last week's show did go down well I think a few people had trouble up like following the episode but look it was a once once in a lifetime applying for it he's really sorry take it from me he's not showing much remorse buddies you know he's beating himself up about it off off camera and you can see the onion sweating down there and I we're gonna do some funky edit and weird Skycam hhhh it's gonna take 20 minutes at least right we're back 20 minutes in starting to look real good have a quick look in their own real quick on a show colors real important CUA starting to get some nice color on it see you're trying to get the demography go with what I with you in it demographic went down after you appeared last time we're watching analytics iron came in and it's just nose dived right stir stir stir a lovely color lovely color a bit of flavor time so lots of leaves in there I showed iron a picture of French onion soup where we were off camera there your your converted you like the look of it night look sorry looks all right two seconds ago was like all gorgeous above year happened what toasted it so lots of time in there really really fragrant herb and for those of you who don't know French onion soup yet we're nearly there by the way what I love about it is so few ingredients really really simple to make gorgeous it's got baked bread up on top of a really nice cheesy bread so I've got a little French baguette cut at an angle want a nice big generous at the peasants dish basically you know down through the years peasants used to eat this big lump of bread on top a whole meal so we're at a stage now where those onions are really starting to caramelize you want to keep going you want a deep brown dark caramel color on those so we're just prepping up our bread at the moment so I'm just going to have those ready for later on we'll go with six only two of us here to eat today anything exciting happen to you this weekend no any injuries no we have our last football game of the season two on our wednesday so that should be good in the late I'll be back for winter league we win the game serious yeah I won't played last ones they would be injury and I had a storm or so this week should be better Wow yeah no pressure no pressure back from injury in the last game to win the season Wow win the superbowl win the syndrome no Gruyere lovely French cheese or ement up i'm using NFL today and either of those will work really well make sure you get it yeah you don't want to cheddar or something like that to overpower so big generous amount on there and I'm just gonna layer that on top of my bread and then we're gonna grill that on top of the soup insanely good how do you grill how do you grill no like you put it on the grill you put the soup in the bowl under the grill with the bride is oh so hey without a stupid question it's clearly like a know your lighting to be different like hi do you grill has anyone ever done that I like it is that the anybody ever made this before literally I've never seen this be made before no I'd be the idea of Allah people who watch the show would know isn't that the whole point people tuned in to you can't patronize the people I'm one of the people I'm patronizing you never patronize anybody who watches a Chevrolet right lovely golden brown caramel flavor coming on to those onions gonna take another couple of minutes and then we're gonna some are you should some bride me in there a little bit the stove stock as well it's dark and brandy and there the liquid so I'll tell you very quickly about the stuff a little bit of chicken stock and main flavor is beef stock so you just want to get your be stuck use some you know like an organic carton if you are absolutely beat use one of the little cubes with those up and I add a little bit of chicken stock just to keep it slightly like can be a little bit over and intensive if you just add beef stock and then the beautiful flavor of cognac and a little bit of brandy something nice and rich and luxurious we're gonna give those onions about another two or three minutes to cook down and then we'll add all the liquids and then we're going to cook that for about 10-15 minutes with the liquids and it just bring it up to the boil and then we're pretty much ready to start the grilling part which you're so interested in are now parsley really really nicely finely chopped tons of it in there the soup doesn't take long at this stage at all I can't tell you how good it smells and say no or if you're probably thinking onions bless it's acidic top of salads burger rings this is nothing like that nothing at all you wouldn't even know they were onions now what I'm going to do is hanging in a later letter into two big generous bowls really really generous with the onions like if you're watching this and you think you don't like onions Aaron you had a sneaky taste of it does it taste anything like onion I don't give it away now come on you too sneaky caisses like miso soup tastes like miso soup and I love music it is nothing like what onions normally I like a really generous with them in there and now this is the good bit come up this is the bowls and I'm going to serve it in so and make sure they're obviously heat proof does that make sense better no sew onto a tray now our bread doesn't matter look it's up overlapping around the outside she's already on top can't believe how good this is gonna be starting to get in a bit now visor get what that it's gonna be good weld yeah once I realized that the soup wasn't gonna be disgusting okay so three in there I'm gonna whack it under the grill I'm gonna it under the grill move that's what people say about hot yeah rotary yeah real hot I'm trying not to all we gotta be fast so in that goes under a real nice hot grill and I've actually got tell them about what you kidding me i grieve that I pray this guy can was getting wrecked by the steam so we've got we've now got for that presenter cam presenter camp which is here high-tech operation that we run you've got a presenter cam we'll take you in there and look at those bad boys so those are going to take a boat and just close the door maybe two minutes under a nice pipe and hot grill we want gold and Brian caramelization on top insanely good right oh my god the smells coming out of this oven are like nothing I've ever smelled before check those bad boys out as you can see we've gone real high-tech I've stolen a tile out of the bathroom because we couldn't find anything else really high-class operation here now what you want to do is you want to make sure you tell your guests that it's very very hot because we he did those builds up under the grill crunchy bread with gooey cheese unbelievable flavors underneath I'm gonna get azor in to taste it how are you eating it you just dig in it is it gets a little bit messy but then the bread sort
