Novice cooking
Jamie Oliver’s brilliant book has a steak and ratatouille recipe.
I made mushroom rice instead of the saffron, but this is a great recipe that has become a favourite of ours. Plus I love basil so pile it on!
Blushing steak, too!
Plus, the ratatouille makes a great lunch to heat up at work the next day!
I’ll start by apologising for taking the cooking of the chicken a bit too far in patches, and for the dreadful plating of the spaghetti.
This is a brilliant meal for two. It’s breaded, crispy chicken, with th tang of parmesan, alongside spaghetti with a tomato sauce which on it’s own or with a garlic bread would be fantastic.
The recipe says it takes 45 minutes, and unlike many recipes, that is true!
One thing (this is for Novice chefs like me!) is that it is vital to bash the chicken properly. Flattening the chicken means that you can cook it through without burning the outside. I just about got away with mine, any fatter and I’d perhaps have been in trouble.
Genuinely this is a delicious dinner, and the recipe can be found on Jamie Oliver’s website.
A blushing steak is a beautiful thing, whack in a nice ciabatta with some caramelised onion, watercress and mustard and you’ve got a proper treat!
This Jamie Oliver sandwich is simple yet delicious. It’s pretty impressive, too, to serve it up open style with the blushing steak for all to see.
This was my latest delve in Jamie Oliver’s excellent book ‘Five.’ There’s not much to say about this, other than it’s a true one-pan wonder. If you like bacon and eggs, you’ll like this. Delish!
This has the vibrancy to look at of a pesto, but with a much earthier flavour. The cavolo makes this a lot healthier and it’s a really clever way to cook. The ricotta adds a bit of creaminess to pull everything together.
Another great one from Jamie Oliver in his new book ‘5.’
Another one from Jamie Oliver’s ‘5’, and another one in which the name says pretty much all you need to know.
Chorizo (in my opinion) makes everything better, it’s just wonderful, and the flavours of the sausage work well with the salmon (which can handle it.) Tomato and basil is a tried and tested combo, and this is just another ‘why didn’t I think of that’ simple dish.
Beautiful.
This is the first meal I’ve cooked from Jamie Oliver’s new book ‘5.’
The title pretty much says everything you need to know – mushrooms cooked with cheese, sage, tomatoes and garlic.
The book is brilliant, every recipe has five ingredients, with the occasional kitchen essential.
All the ingredients in this dish (which you do in one pan) just go – classic flavours, easy to prepare, delicious to eat.
