Introduction
A collection of five comforting, flavour-packed family dinners created by Jamie Oliver using only five key ingredients each. These recipes range from slow-roasted melt-in-the-mouth meats to rapid one-pan weeknight wonders, letting simple prep and the oven or pan do all the hard work.
Step 1
【Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder】Pour 500 g of dried chickpeas directly into a deep roasting tray without prior soaking. Roughly chop 1 kg of plum tomatoes into erratic chunks and scatter over the chickpeas.
Step 2
【Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder】Halve two preserved lemons, scrape out seeds, finely chop them, and scatter over the tomatoes along with 2 tablespoons of pickling juice from the jar.
Step 3
【Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder】Drizzle the lamb shoulder with olive oil, season with sea salt, and rub 2 heaped teaspoons of ras el hanout thoroughly over both sides. Rest the lamb on top of the tomato and chickpea bed.
Step 4
【Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder】Pour 1 litre of water into the tray around the lamb. Season with black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, then tightly double-wrap the roasting dish with tin foil to seal in steam.
Step 5
【Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder】Place into the oven at 170°C (325°F) and slow-cook for 6 hours until the lamb falls apart effortlessly and chickpeas are tender.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Slow-Roasted Lamb: Do not pre-soak the dried chickpeas; the moisture from the 1 litre of water and fresh tomatoes creates a sealed steam chamber that cooks them to creamy perfection.
Meltin' Mustardy Beef: Keep the marrow bone in the pan during cooking as it melts natural richness and flavour directly into the stew gravy.
Roast Tikka Chicken: Placing the chicken on the rack directly over the vegetable tray eliminates the need for separate gravy by catching all spiced, aromatic drippings.
Sticky Lamb Chops: Scoring and cooking the chops upright on their fat strip renders out plenty of natural oil, eliminating the need to add any cooking oil to the pan.
Sweet Chicken Surprise: Leaving the garlic cloves in their skins prevents them from scorching during high-heat frying and baking, yielding sweet, caramelized garlic inside.
