Jamie Oliver’s £1 Wonders
|
Jamie Oliver continues his series of budget-beating recipes and tips to get us all eating delicious food at surprisingly low prices.
Through inspiration and practical tips, Jamie shows us how to cook meals on a lower budget that deliver great value, less waste and most importantly, tasty food, delivering big on value without compromising on flavour, from quick mid-week dinners and gorgeous meals for get-togethers, to inspiring vegetarian dishes and delicious ways to make leftovers go further.
In this second episode of the six-part series, using thrifty veg and making clever swaps, Jamie shares a delicious £1 wonder inspired by Italian grandmothers – spaghetti frittata – a really fun way to be frugal with leftovers. He rustles up low-cost pork pies in the air fryer, using great value mince, homemade tasty flaky pastry and a brilliant tip using a jar of piccalilli – a total winner for your wallet.
He also cooks a budget-busting batch of butternut squash dal, with low-cost lentils and an optional hack for making your own cheese; a dish that’s perfect for freezing and using for multiple meals. Using clever cuts of meat, and a time-saving spice blend, Jamie creates a DIY takeaway chicken shish kebab at a fraction of the cost of one you’d order in. He then shows us how we can save some money by making our own sweet treats, with deliciously thrifty mint choc chip whoopie pies, a belter for your budget.
