Dare to cook

Chapter 313 The kicker (again) (fourth change)
Amalfi.

Baillard Holiday Inn.

Yao Yu and Bruno had already taken their positions, changed into chef uniforms, and stood at one side of the hotel lobby.

The owner of the Baillard Hotel is a chef who is passionate about cooking.

When he was young, Bailard also joined the Italian national kitchen team.

But it is a pity that during his service in the Italian national chef team, because the cooking level was in the middle and lower reaches of the national team at that time, he never got the opportunity to show his face in international competitions.

Later, Byrard retired and returned to his hometown to open a restaurant.

Then, in more than ten years, he built his own restaurant into the best and most expensive Holiday Inn in Amalfi.

Although Byrard has stayed in this small place for so many years.But his contact with the outside world has not been interrupted.

Ballard knew many food critics and was close to the Naples Kitchen Federation members.

When the Naples Kitchen Federation branch sent judges to Amalfi, Bailard knew that Bruno from the French national kitchen team and Yu fanatic from the East had both come to Amalfi.

Bruno is actually very famous in Europe.

His popularity in Europe is just like Ling Zhaochi's popularity in China.

Just imagine, if Yao Yu, who has just come back, had a public cooking showdown with Ling Zhaochi in Shanghai, what kind of sensation would it cause?
Needless to say, young chefs across the country will definitely follow that competition online.

And if many cooks in Shencheng got the news in advance, they would find a way to rush to the scene to watch the battle.

The same is true for the duel between Yao Yu and Bruno.

Amalfi is just a small town.

It is almost impossible for those international famous chefs to come to such a small place to compete for cooking skills.

This time, it was hard to come across it once. How could the local chefs headed by Bailard hold back their excitement and not watch the excitement?
Therefore, when everyone found that the venue of Hua Restaurant could not accommodate so many spectators, Bailard took the initiative to send out an invitation, suggesting that Yao Yu and Bruno come to his hotel for a duel.

And he will also provide a variety of kitchen utensils and ingredients for the two chefs.

"Oh, it's getting bigger, it's getting bigger."

"Originally it was just a private discussion, but after such a commotion, it seems that the meaning has changed." Feng Ziyi looked at the spectators on the third and outer floors of the hotel lobby, and clicked his tongue.

"Yes. On this occasion, Yao Yu is not representing himself, but all Huaxia chefs." Meng Xiao also said:

"Bruno is like a challenger to our restaurant. If Yao Yu loses, not only our Chinese restaurant will be greatly affected, but also..."

"Yao Yu won't lose. Just put your heart in your stomach." Before Meng Xiao finished speaking, Lu Chenyu interrupted.

Seeing that Lu Chenyu had so much confidence in Yao Yu, the program crew glanced at each other and stopped talking.

Beside Yao Yu and Bruno, there was already a stove rolled out from the back kitchen of the hotel.

At this point, the ingredients and seasonings to be used in the competition have also been prepared.

When the time pointer points to three o'clock, the competition officially begins.

The main ingredients of Yao Yu and Bruno's competition this time are lamb chops, salmon and sausages.

In two hours, they will use these three ingredients to create three dishes.

There is no limit to the types of dishes.

Whether it is using Eastern cooking methods or Western cooking techniques.

As long as you can prepare three dishes within the specified time, and then conquer the taste buds of the judges and get a higher score, you will win.

When Bruno went to the restaurant for dinner the day before yesterday, Yao Yu checked Bruno's culinary skills.

This guy's current cooking skill value is lv8 (37185), which is worse than Wu Zhongliu and Ling Zhaochi.And Yao Yu's current cooking value has reached 42500+.

Loose competition rules + absolute culinary skills crushed, as long as the judges do not favor each other, Yao Yu wants to win, it is like picking something out of a bag.

After the game started, Yao Yu first handled the lamb chops.

Lamb chops take longer to cook than sausages and salmon.

In Europe, the way chefs cook lamb chops is usually grilled and pan-fried.

The dish that Bruno intends to cook at this time is the typical French mustard grilled lamb chops.

French chefs cook what they know best.

This is naturally normal and taken for granted during the competition.

Therefore, the audience present did not feel inappropriate when they discovered that Bruno decided to challenge with French food.

But just when everyone thought that Yao Yu would use Chinese lamb chops to fight, Yao Yu chose chanterelle mushrooms and Provence spice powder from the ingredients.

Seeing that Yao Yu had selected these two ingredients, Ballard and the judges of the competition immediately exclaimed:

"Oh, God, he actually wants to make Provence lamb chops, and this Chinese person wants French food to deal with French food!"

As soon as Bailard's words came out, he immediately caused an uproar.

The members of the Chinese restaurant program group also showed puzzled expressions.

Why does Yao Yu also make French lamb chops?

Don't the domestic braised lamb chops, stewed lamb chops with potatoes, and braised lamb chops in sauce not taste good?
Except for Lu Chenyu, no one could understand Yao Yu's intentions.

At this moment, Yao Yu has completely entered the state of cooking, and will not be affected by the noisy discussions around him.

The practice of grilled lamb chops in Provence is not difficult.

First, chop some rosemary and mix well with seasonings such as Provence powder, sea salt, and white pepper.

Spread the mixed seasoning evenly on the lamb chops, and then massage the lamb chops with your hands to speed up the marinating.

Then, wrap the lamb chops in plastic wrap and marinate for fifteen to two ten minutes.

While marinating the lamb chops, Yao Yu went to deal with other ingredients.

After 15 minutes, Yao Yu removed the plastic wrap and scraped off the seasoning powder that had been smeared on the lamb chops with a knife.

Heat the oil in a pan and put a piece of butter into the pan.

After the butter is completely melted, you can fry the lamb chops.

Fry both sides of the lamb chops on low heat for about 2 minutes each, then pour the lamb chops into the baking pan.

Then, rub the seasoning powder scraped off with a knife back onto the surface of the lamb chops →_→.

Then preheat the oven to 10 degrees for [-] minutes.

While preheating the oven, put the sliced ​​chanterelle mushrooms into the oil pan and fry for a while, don’t fry them completely, just cut them raw.

Then, put the fried chanterelles, sliced ​​tomatoes, carrots, and zucchini (vegetables similar to cucumbers) on the baking tray.

Drizzle the lamb chops in the baking pan with olive oil, then sprinkle with black pepper, white sugar, minced garlic, appropriate salt and chopped rosemary. Then put the lamb chops into the oven and bake them at a temperature of up to [-] degrees. cooked.

After baking like this for 10 minutes, the Provence lamb chops are ready.

Yao Yu finished the lamb chops, but did not take them out immediately, but kept the lamb chops in the oven to keep warm.

Yao Yu's cooking process of Provence lamb chops was very professional, which also made some Europeans who thought that Chinese people could not cook French food stop looking down upon him.

After finishing the lamb chops, Yao Manzi will cook salmon and sausage next.

At this moment, the nearby onlookers also stretched their necks, wondering whether Yao Yu would continue to cook French dishes.
