I just spotted that Jamie Oliver has posted a great weekend family friendly Shepard’s Pie recipe on Facebook so I thought I’d share it with you here. As Jamie says “With crispy potato all the way round and gorgeous tender meat in the middle, this is incredible.”. It’s a great dish to cook on a Saturday or Sunday morning and leave in the oven for a late weekend lunch with all the family.
FollowNigella’s Spanish Chicken with Chorizo and Roast Potatoes Recipe
My family love this and I’m planning to do it for Sunday lunch tomorrow. By pure chance Nigella just shared the recipe on Facebook so I thought I’d post a link to it.
Updated Jan 8th: I thought I’d upload a quick picture of this after I’d cooked it for lunch today. The family loved it.
Spanish Chicken with Chorizo and Roast Potatoes Recipe
This really is super easy to do and lets you spend time with the family instead of trying to cook the full Sunday roast. This time of year I tend to do a few additional vegetables with it whereas in the summer I just serve it with salad.
Quick & simple, healthy, Lasagne by Jamie Oliver
We love Jamie’s new budget family friendly Lasagne Recipe
My family love Lasagne and over the years I’ve mostly used the Lasagne recipe from Jamie’s School Dinners. That’s great but relatively expensive and time consuming to put together and not as healthy as it could be – although I do like the inclusion of the Butternut Squash in that version. The other day I spotted a new Family Friendly Lasagne Recipe by Jamie Oliver on his new Family Food Tube Channel. I’ve included it below so you can watch it. What makes this version of the recipe so great? Well he works in extra veg, such as using a leak in the béchamel sauce. He also used Cheddar instead of parmesan and mozzarella which really helps bring down the price per portion.
I’ll be making this over the weekend for the family. It’s not only tasty but the children love helping to assemble the Lasagne layers too!
