Christmas Roasts with Chef Tjaart & Chad Saaiman
Thursday 8 December
Deck the halls because the Christmas theme continues on Afternoon Express! Our favourite Chef Tjaart joins us for a Christmas Roast focused masterclass. Cape Town’s Prince of Pop, Chad Saaiman, performs his latest single ‘2007’ and ‘Ready’.
On social media we would like to know: Which meat are you most looking forward to on the Christmas table?
Do you want to roast chicken like a pro? Our recipe for The Ultimate Roast Chicken is sure to have your family coming back for seconds. A tip from our chefs: Pat the chicken dry using a paper towel prior to cooking to help you get a crispier skin.
Cooking large cuts of meat can be tricky, that’s why Chef’s Tumi, Jay and Tjaart have come up with this mouth-watering Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary recipe for you. Remember to let the lamb rest for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices in the meat to settle.
Traditionally served for Christmas lunch, there is no doubt that this slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth succulence will be a crowd-pleaser this festive season. Follow along to learn How to Cook the Perfect Gammon and Crackling.
Psst, it’s important to score the gammon before roasting to get that crispy crackling, increase flavour absorption, and prevent the fat from shrinking while cooking.
