One pan meals. A lamb thing.

It's cooked on a tray, in the oven. He's also used a pestle and mortar.
Then he twonked the lamb joint on the oven shelf so that all the fat dripped through, on to the tray below.

Then he splatted all that on to a wooden board, and used another pot for the juices.

Ladies and gentlemen more ladies, I present to you, The Man Who Doesn't Wash Up.

I watched that lockdown cooking when he was like substitute it for whatever you have got. Which was useless as we just had 3 tins of mackerel

🤣🤣
The lockdown show annoyed me wasn’t that when he had his youngest kid clambering around on the worktop, running around screeching etc? And Jules floating around in middle class yummy mummy clothes?

I have copied this for years when doing a roast, after seeing him first do it for roasting duck. Whether or not it still counts as one-pan is up for debate, but it works and the veggies/roasties below are the best ever.

Did anyone else think that the C4 trailer voice over said "One pound meals"?

Yes!! I've recorded it for that reason!
Please tell me we can all eat lamb for £1 each

Did look amazing!! Having cooked his lamb on the rack above potatoes too I can confirm it fucks the whole oven.

@AgnesNaismith Lamb cooked on oven shelf above potatoes is delicious. Nigel Slater also has a great recipe for that

But I would only make it in an oven with pyrolitic cleaning setting, wheteceverything heats up to 500 degrees and burns off

I can't bear him, but his 'squashed part way through' roast potatoes have transformed my roast dinners

HippeePrincess · 22/08/2022 21:49

He lost me when he did a faux cooking on a budget show, bought a huge expensive cut of meat that he said would make two meals and it was equivalent to my food budget for the week at the time!

Don’t get me started on the wanky wankfest of ‘30’ minutes meals or ‘1’ pan meals from mr oliver.

He could turn beans on toast into something that uses every item of cookware you own and takes half a day minimum (after you’ve pre-soaked the dried beans for a day obv).

He is however much better on this than Heston Blumenthal. I sat and watched his roast chicken with crispy skin with my mouth open.

It took him several days what with brining it, hours of faffing and a bloody blow torch involved at the end.

Fgs man. Throw chicken in oven. Get on with other stuff for 90 mins. Get out chicken with perfectly adequately crispy skin. Who in reality has several days to mess around like this for a meal that will be eaten and gone twenty minutes later!

MrsMcisaCt · 22/08/2022 21:51

I'm put off by his bitten nails. I couldn't eat anything he's touched with those fingers.

DebussytoaDiscoBeat · 22/08/2022 21:51

Not Jamie's 30 min meals but never fails to make me laugh Grin

Lovelyricepudding · 22/08/2022 21:51

Hate the way he used his voice on behalf of the artificial sweetener industry forcing all food manufacturers to include sweeteners in everything making then taste yuk, even sweeter so people want more sugar, as well as the dubious safety of sweeteners.

LobeliaBaggins · 22/08/2022 21:46

Thread derail: are there any good veggie recipe books that genuinely take 30 minutes?

Yes, the roasting tin books are great. The quick roasting tin has lots of veggie recipes and there is a green roasting tin but some recipes take longer. It’s not all one tin, you do need to pre cook pasta for some but the recipes are simple.

Oh and I'd love to get pissed with nigella. And eat out of her fridge in my dressing gown.

Shoot me down.

I read this oh so wrong.

I quite like him, but his huge fat tongue is a bit off-putting.

These sound like they'll be even nicer than Delia's rough em up a bit in the pan then roast potatoes

TwoMonthsOff · 22/08/2022 21:55

I don’t like him, even before he ate a squirrel
I call him jammy Oliver because he is …or has been

Boozysoozy1 · 22/08/2022 21:55

Not my words but I’m pretty sure this recipe belongs in the husband cookbook of “How to cook a one pot meal using only every pot and pan in the house”

ReginaFalangeee · 22/08/2022 21:55

Omg! So glad i’m the only one outraged by this 🤭

I honestly think putting the lamb in another pan would less of a pain in the arse to clean than scrubbing an oven shelf 😂

I got more enjoyment out of shouting at the telly than watching the cooking. Will definitely watch next week!!!!!!!

Lamb? Its cheaper to buy a fucking car for a family of four than it is to buy a joint of lamb to feed them all! He is not on this fucking planet!

Seriously though, who the fuck can afford lamb now? I sat the kids down tonight and said that yes the lentil bolognaise was different but that we have to accept that meat is only going to be happening a couple of times a week (and only then when its reduced, thank fuck Covid meant I ended up working as a till monkey in a supermarket!). Luckily they get it, and they also understand that our payday takeaway will still be happening as they were asked whether they would like a fivers worth of meat a week or our monthly takeaway and they chose the takeaway.

I think that was the second edition of it, I gave up after a few of them they made me feel miserable

chillipenguin · 22/08/2022 21:59

He's got a 5 ingredient book..do we think this is 5 ingredients plus a huge larder of "store cupboard essentials that only the really wealthy will have on standby"

RicherThanYew · 22/08/2022 21:59

I saw him teaching kids how to cook "delicious healthy meals" in a school once. He made them put slices of lean chicken in a foil pouch with mushrooms and chopped peppers - that was it, bleurgh.
