Nigella Lawson's Lamb Shanks and Creme Brûlée | Nigella Bites

Nigella shows us how to make a easy, slow cooked dinner party meal, lamb shanks with couscous and finishes it off with a silky creme brûlée.

[@eman83a]

“Well, it doesn’t come from anywhere, but it borrows from the Moroccan palate”. How can she be so eloquent and funny all at once?!

[@samsimpson6787]

Her use of English is so beautiful. English really is a beautiful language. As a non-native speaker, her voice is so beautiful to me.

[@hannahrachelxo2281]

Her vocabulary is so wonderful to listen to. It just adds to her charms.

[@darkspeed62]

It could just be this video, but she does come across as lacking passion for what she's doing and seems really wooden and perfunctory in her demeanor.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

She eats lamb ...she's a terrible human.

[@haris8853]

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Right? I always think that if she hadn't gone into cooking, she would have surely been a writer.

[@nakeasimone13]

I simply love Nigella!! When her show was on the Food Network I watched her show all the time. I especially loved at the end of each show it shown her going back for seconds after dinner or in the middle of the night. Totally relatable!!! Lol

[@susanhendrix8701]

I agree with you totally

[@malcolmroberts7619]

She is beautiful, and so is her cooking

[@tzeena9290]

Yes

[@carriehampton3513]

This was the menu I made for my very first dinner party ----- a LONG time ago. It became my standard & now my friends get mad when I serve something else. It's total perfection - comes out EVERY single time and everyone adores it. The tip about the red lentils thickening the broth is one of the best "cheats" I have ever learned. XOXO

[@annasmith4559]

Carrie Hampton hahahaha i find your comment hilarious because my friends also get mad when I don't serve my signature dishes hahshsh😂😩

[@dipro001]

There is a strong chance that this might become the menu for my first post-graduation dinner party with friends. I just need to buy a blowtorch and I am all set.

[@mmenmg]

I tried it tonight as l like citrusy food in general. l must say lm quite disappointed - very bland, almost tasteless!

[@francescacrolla1464]

Anyone have the amounts she used for creme brûlée? TIA

[@haris8853]

mmenmg there was no citrus in the whole recipe so why does it matter if you like citrus or not

[@aedynjakpoetry]

I love Nigella's greedy biting. Food prepared by a foody. The way it should be.

[@mmmc5122]

I miss the midnight kitchen raids long after the party....'twas the cherry on top😢

[@jackdayton8842]

Yes, I miss that also. It showed that she was like everybody else. She would grab a piece of chocolate cake by hand and take a bite. WOW !! V

[@ayethegreat4997]

I guess stopping all that helped her lose weight 😂😂

[@luciamorris1118]

I grew up watching and reading Nigella and can honestly say she taught me how to cook. Re-reading How to Eat during the lockdown and I'm reminded of what a genius she can be

[@lancer525]

"Let me show you my... aromatics" That has to be the most unintentionally seductive thing I've ever heard.

[@spakkakiwi1]

Lancer525 was just thinking that 🤣

[@lancer525]

@@spakkakiwi1 Way back, years ago, when I was in the dating scene, whenever I'd invite a young lass out for dinner, I'd always bring her home and cook for her. It almost always worked. ;-)

[@Kori114]

I was about to comment the same.... OMG! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SimonTebbenhamMusic]

Yep, not sure about the unintentional bit though :)

[@ronggrikmarak4357]

Lancer525 “it’s nice and soft”

[@karenkaren3189]

Love her, love her cooking, love her videos.....best stress reliever around ❤️

[@bakewithgen3324]

Karen Katz totally agree! Feel so calm watching her!!

[@armywife2248]

I love to see Nigella cooking and enjoying good food!! She is not one of those prissy "watercress sandwich only please" types! Lol!

[@steflondon88]

I love her vocabulary, you can tell she reads a lot.

[@ella_komiya]

Steffany K - there’s a big contrast to how Nigella talks (did literature in uni ) and Jamie Oliver (barely passed GCSE). Two great cooks but two different backgrounds.

[@joshuamason2316]

I love when they show shots of inside her house and you see walls of books 😍😍😍

[@johnpinto3309]

I think she's speaking British English

[@user-qh2xz2bf1l]

She was a journalist before

[@nivk4337]

People often compliment me that I am a good host. I tell them I have learnt it from Nigella! Love you Nigella

[@geneharrogate6911]

The satisfaction one can obtain from simple ingredients like Nigella and custard cant be overstated.

[@anydae]

Besides your recipes Nigella, I love your clothing style!!

[@whowantstoknow2617]

Wouldn't she just be such a brilliant Bond girl?

[@DennisQLy-qx2em]

Antonia Raaymakers she could be James Bond.

[@nntflow7058]

Her special power is to poison people with her food.

[@NoName-fh6ld]

she has no look to be a bond girl smh be realistic

[@tarquinbullocks1703]

YES!!!

[@eman83a]

She would be wasted on that.

[@Mmmmkaaay]

In a world full of Kardashians...be Nigella!😍

[@snipper1ie]

Many years ago, my teen years. We were returning from a day at the shore. As we rounded our Main Street we spied a most beautiful woman all dressed up in her finery and her stepping out knowing everyone was looking at her. Of course we were all looking at her and her head was up in the clouds. Big Martin, was a few yards in front of us and as she drew level to him, he turned and said, "Can she bake a scone"? Her expression dropped, the balloon burst. We all chorused "No, she canny". I was wiser when was 15 than I was when 20.

[@Leo19rash]

You don’t have to put one section of women to uplift another Don’t follow the herd to pour hate on kardashians they might be vain to an extend but they also do a lot of good in the world

[@Mmmmkaaay]

@@Leo19rash It isn't about their vanity but rather their vapid, superficial personalities. The issue is that young girls emulate this instead of revering women of substance.

[@Leo19rash]

Lady Bohemia who are we to judge someone is superficial or not do you want the show they are also went through and go through a lot of stuff in life Young women should be allowed to make their own judgements rather than older women making impressions on them by stereotyping one section of women..

[@Mmmmkaaay]

@@Leo19rash I'm not judging the Kardashians. I'm pointing out that their "brand" perpetuates the idea that in order to be desirable and feminine, a female must dim her intelligence, buy fake body parts and release a sex video in order to achieve fame. The sad part is that they probably are very capable and kind women who were raised in an environment that taught them that superficiality is the goal in order to be adored. Why wouldn't we want to change that type of culture for our youth? Wasn't it bad enough in the 80s and 90s when teen girls were throwing up their dinners in order to look like Kate Moss? Now we take it a step further by throwing implants on a credit card because if we don't we aren't deemed good enough? Nigella is feminine and beautiful and graceful without all the fuss. That was my point. Beauty is accessible for every woman...not just the wealthy or surgically reconstructed.

[@carltonlong1985]

She’s so pretty.

[@amylonsdale4559]

nigella is a pure spice

[@alanvonau278]

Nigella, it is always good to see you. I have been following your shows via various media for years. I love your fun and practical style of cooking, and you always bring warmth and love to the table. Thanks!

[@raymond9339]

Falling in love with this English lady & her accent.

[@lorid1395]

This is my favourite episode, I always find it quite calming to watch 😁

[@mounireaddevil]

I was interested in this show basically to learn English ! It was one of the rare available Englush shows before the time of the internet !

[@abdulmismail]

Love this - but just a few 'observations' (coming from my Bengali heritage). 1. When you add the spices, push the onions/garlic to one side and preferably remove from heat. Then, tilt the pan and allow the oil to collect on one side. Add the spices there and stir in to allow it to turn in a paste. Then place back on heat and fold into the onions/garlic. Add a ladle of water to ensure the spices don't stick. This allows a more uniform cooking of the spices. 2. After adding the Lamb shanks, cook on high heat with lid on for about 5 minutes on either side. This allows the meat to absorb the rich spice fragrance. Then add the liquid and bring to boil for about 5 minutes followed by turning down heat and cooking for 1.5 hours. 3. Rinse the red lentils before adding them otherwise you include all the starch which makes it a bit sticky.

[@bakewithgen3324]

Lamb is my favorite meat and that crème brûlée looks amazing! I need to ask my French butcher for lamb shank and try this recipe!

[@monikar9846]

Nigella, I love watching you cook. It’s always so luscious and such an inviting process.

That lamb dish is looking so delicious and the dessert is looking great also. Your guests must have enjoyed it so much and had their fill and can't blame them. I never ate lamb chops until I was in the Air Force and was eating lunch in Dover, Delaware and they served lamb chops and I noticed that no one was eating the chops and I could not eat mine either and had to throw it away. I noticed that the trash container was full of them and figured out that no one else enjoyed them either. How do you cook them where they are delicious and tasty?
