Toonraider 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm making a Jamie 30 minute meal tonight. Tray baked chicken with squashed garlic potatoes. Will you be trying to do it in the 30 minutes though? I made Jamies Chicken and mushroom pie which was really good actually.

Ive made chicken and vegetable hotpot tonight, (my own, not Jamie's ) its nearly done and smells really scrummy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I bought some swanky balsamic vinegar so thought I'd give it a go. Made a belting ratatouille as a result. Dead easy as well. 2 cloves garlic 1 red onion 1 tbspn balsamic vinegar (my one is Casa Rinaldi with truffle oil ) 1 tbspn muscovado sugar 1 red pepper 1 courgette 1 aubergine 2 large tomatoes 1tsp oregano passatta Heat some oil in a pan and then sweat the onions with the garlic and some salt & pepper for 5mins. Then add in the vinegar then the sugar and give it another 5 mins. Dice the veg (nice and chunky) and fry everything for 10 mins. (I fried the aubergine on its own for 2 mins or so on a high heat as it takes a little longer to cook than the other stuff.) When it's all frying nicely, add a generous splash of passatta and the oregano and bring it all to a simmer for 5 mins. Absolutely superb. Went nicely with some garlic bread.

Barney 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Made Jamies 30 minute cheat pizza! Great stuff. Experimenting with my own sauce base. Also got a pressie of an Indian cookbook, so I made 2 curries recently which id never tried before. Lamb bhuna and cardamon curry chicken. Both amazing and fun/easy to cook. Got a mix for garlic and coriander naan too which took about 40mins but was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Dolmio is Not saying I never use jars of stuff, especially if I'm cooking for one / in a hurry or whatever but that stuff is proper crap. Not exactly rocket science doing a tomato-based pasta sauce either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly rocket science doing a tomato-based pasta sauce either. the only one i would consider using these days is the lloyd grossman tomato and chili but even then, only when i've got no time to spare - i'd much rather take the 20 minutes needed to make my own. dolmio is student-tastic. not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertolli (tomato and basil) is ok too imo. I don't even like the 'fresh' ones out of the fridges in Tesco etc. as they always seem to have a bit of a funny taste.

Guest alex Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Should give your own pasta sauces a go, CT. Especially as you like to dabble in the kitchen. Absolute piece of piss compared to making biscuits and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using any of them you need to add a tsp of sugar. Aye, makes sense. I'll tend to stir in a bit of crème fraîche or something if it won't ruin whatever it is I'm making, has the same offsetting effect. But as Alex says, it's not hard to make your own really, in fact I've got a lasagna in the oven as we speak using his patented pasta sauce recipe. Alex, PM CT asap tbh.
