Title: Jamie's 30 minute meals....
Post by: Omega_Dan on 05 February 2011, 19:49:09
I dont think so!

Saw this the other night and thought id give it a go 

http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/other-recipes/british-picnic-sausage-rolls-mackerel-pa

The Pate alone took me 20 ruddy minutes let alone everything else and all i got off the mrs was that the kitchen was a mess and stunk of fish >:(

By the time i added up what i had spent i began to wonder maybe i was drunk when i thought id try and copy one of his meals.

Ill stick to ready made from now on ;D

It is possible to cook his meals in 30 minutes, (my missus does them all the time) the secret is to get everything ready up front. Jamie Oliver never mentions the prep time required, or the time spent clearing up afterwards, as these meals usually entail making quite a mess int kitchen, and nearly allways involve the use of a food processor. I bet he never washes up after himself.  :) :) ::) ::)

Exactly. Provided you've peeled & prepped it can be done. Besides if you've bought & cooked the food everyone else has enjoyed why should'nt someone else wash up? 8-)

Whenever I am cooking I wash up as I am doing it, I hate to see a build up of pans and utensils, sadly this is something swmbo does not seem to understand.... ::) ::)

Yes Richie, and men should be working on the car, maintaining the garden, and decorating the house on a full schedule.  That is why God created men!  Oh, and of course for good sex!! :y :y :y ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

Sounds v nice JB  :)
Slow cookers are great aren't they  :y
Try putting leg of lamb in it or a cheapish beef joint like brisket.....leave on low for 10 hours....then put the joint in the oven for 20mins to 'crispen' it up a bit....slightly 'crispy' on the outside and v. tender on the inside  ;)  :)
I also use mine for chile con carni, curries,stews.
