I had already decided on this Jamie's 30-Minute Meals recipe and given Adriano the shopping list when I went online to see if there was a video of Jamie making this meal and found quite a turn up for the books. Jamie has been slammed for this recipe for the high fat levels in it. Double a Big Mac, if that's possible. I'm not sure where it all is but it does have mince meat, cheese and bacon. The rest is all vegetables. So I cut out the cheese and reduced the bacon. The coleslaw with the purple cabbage was really good but I felt the sandwich was a bit dry though Adriano liked it just the way it was. I would still make a tomato sauce and add it for the moisture. This is the first Jamie meal that I didn't completely enjoy. He also included a salad with salad leaves, tomatoes, avocados, basil and feta cheese - this was really good but then again I love most salads. I have put the original recipe below. Jamie says it serves 4 but we had only one ciabatta loaf and it was plenty. This is … [Read more...] about Jamie Oliver 30-minute Meatball Sandwich and Pickled Cabbage

Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes
Here we go again - the Jamie's 30-Minute Meals challenge. And this time I didn't leave anything out because there was no dessert, so I was pretty nervous we would be eating at midnight. There were four different dishes so it seemed a little overwhelming but I rolled up my sleeves, turned on the oven, got out all the ingredients and the food processor and started work. About 40 minutes later, I lifted my head and surprisingly it was all done. Not bad at all and a lot of food had been prepared. The family tucked in and were impressed. This is good homely style food which is perfect for the cold winter we are having. This is not a low Fodmap recipe. 4.3 from 3 reviews Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients 4 baking potatoes Few sprigs of rosemary Sour cream (for the potatoes) 500g beef mince 2 sprigs of thyme 1 red onion 3 sticks of celery 2 carrots 4 cloves of garlic, minced 6 tablespoons … [Read more...] about Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes
Jamie Oliver’s 30 Minute Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese
I'm back with another one of Jamie's 30-Minute Meals dishes. This one was his Cauliflower Macaroni dish, which he served with a green salad and a dessert, which, as usual, I didn't make. I decided not to bust a gut tonight trying to get it done in 30 minutes. In theory it should have taken 30 minutes because the total of the cooking was 11 minutes for the pasta and cauliflower and then 8 minutes in the oven with not a lot of preparation. But it still took me 45 minutes. Today I was reading another blog called Hotly Spiced and she also tried unsuccessfully to make one of Jamie's meals in 30 minutes. Her account of her attempt was hilarious and worth reading.

Chicken Pie, French-Style Peas and Carrots – Jamie Oliver 30-minute meal
Another great meal from Jamie's 30-Minute Meals and it took the usual 45 minutes even though I didn't cook the dessert. But I did make individual pies because they are so much prettier and I also put pastry on the bases and pre-cooked it a little. Jamie's pie had no base, which didn't feel quite right. I love being able to remove the pies intact from the dishes - they are so much easier to eat. Dario is not keen on peas but he liked these so that's saying something about the flavours in this dish. Another winner. This is not a low Fodmap recipe. 3.7 from 3 reviews Chicken Pie, French-Style Peas and Carrots Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients 2 x big chicken breasts Two spring onions 150g button mushrooms 1 heaped tbsp flour A knob of butter 2 tsp English mustard 1 heaped tbsp creme fraiche 300ml chicken stock A few sprigs fresh thyme A little nutmeg 4 pastry sheets 1 egg 600g carrots 1 tbsp flour A knob of butter 300ml chicken stock A few sprigs … [Read more...] about Chicken Pie, French-Style Peas and Carrots – Jamie Oliver 30-minute meal
Moroccan Lamb Chops, Herby Couscous & Stuffed Peppers
I did it! I made this one of Jamie's 30-Minute Meals in 30 minutes. I cut out the drink but that should have taken all of 5 minutes so I believe I can pat myself on my back. Or Jamie can for having created at least one 30-minute meal. I do suspect that the wine I had at work might have loosened up my cooking muscles and made me relax because there were a lot of elements to this meal but none of them were complex. And once again it was delicious. The two sauces were a perfect accompaniment to the couscous and lamb. Jamie Oliver is a genius at flavours and I can recommend this as a meal which will be well received by all the family.

Pregnant Jools’s Pasta and Chicory & Watercress Salad – Jamie Oliver 30-Minute Meals
Tonight felt like a triumph because I cooked one of Jamie's 30-Minute Meals in exactly 30 minutes, but of course that wouldn't be telling the complete truth because I didn't make the frangipane tarts for dessert. And who knows how long they would have taken to prepare and bake. But at least we didn't eat quite as late as usual. This pasta dish is kind of a quick version of a ragu. It all basically went into the food processor and came out all mushed up and then went into a frying pan with a few other ingredients. Very easy. This recipe is not low Fodmap. Pregnant Jools's Pasta and Chicory & Watercress Salad - Jamie Oliver 30-Minute Meals Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients For the pasta 4 spring onions 1 carrot 1 stick of celery 1-2 fresh red chillies 1 x 6-pack of good-quality sausages (approx. 400g) 1 heaped teaspoon fennel seeds 1 teaspoon dried oregano 500g dried penne 4 cloves of garlic 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 x 400g tin of chopped … [Read more...] about Pregnant Jools’s Pasta and Chicory & Watercress Salad – Jamie Oliver 30-Minute Meals
