Si, 54, and Dave, 63, are currently starring in The Hairy Bikers’ Northern Exposure series, exploring what the Northern continents of the world have to offer in the food sector. In an episode of the BBC programme which aired on Wednesday evening, the former explained how this latest trip almost didn’t happen as the brain aneurysm he was diagnosed with in 2014 had caused problems and he might have died before filming took place. However, the chef is still fighting fit and spoke about his appreciation for life.
Method
1 First make the bourguignon. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and add the onions or shallots and the carrots. Fry over a high heat, stirring regularly, until they are dappled with dark-brown patches. Sprinkle over the sugar and continue to cook for another couple of minutes to help caramelise. Remove them from the dish and
set aside.
2 Add the butter to the casserole dish. When it starts to foam, add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat until they have reduced down. Put the onions and carrots back in the dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the herbs, then pour in the red wine. Bring to the boil and leave to bubble until the wine has reduced by at least a third. Add the stock, mushroom ketchup and mustard and stir until completely combined.
