Introduction
A comforting compilation of seven hearty Sunday dinner centrepieces created by Jamie Oliver. From fall-off-the-bone braised lamb shanks and golden chicken pot pie to a classic beef Wellington for two, these recipes elevate traditional weekend roasts with rich homemade gravies, fresh sides, and robust seasonal flavours.
Step 1
【Spiced Braised Lamb Shanks & Risotto】Season French-trimmed lamb shanks with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then sear in a frying pan over medium heat until browned on all sides.
Step 2
【Spiced Braised Lamb Shanks & Risotto】In a casserole pot, fry chopped smoked bacon and bay leaves in olive oil. Add large chunks of onions, carrots, swede, and celery, cooking for about 15 minutes to caramelize.
Step 3
【Spiced Braised Lamb Shanks & Risotto】Grind black pepper, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg in a mortar and sieve into the vegetables. Stir in marmalade, flour, and Scotch whisky (flambé carefully if desired). Return the browned shanks, pour in beef stock, cover with damp greaseproof paper, and braise in the oven at 170°C for 3 hours.
Step 4
【Spiced Braised Lamb Shanks & Risotto】Sweat finely sliced leeks in butter and thyme with a splash of water for 15 minutes. Stir in pearl barley, add chicken stock, and simmer covered for 40 minutes. Finish by stirring in milk and grated Cheddar cheese until creamy, then serve topped with the tender braised lamb and rich pan sauce.
Step 5
【Pot Roast Pork】Pound fresh sage, salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar in a mortar to form a marinade. Rub over a trimmed pork loin, wrap tightly in slices of cured meat (Coppa di Parma), and secure with butcher's twine.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
This video contains seven complete Sunday dinner recipes; each dish can be prepared independently following its respective timestamp.
For braised dishes (lamb shanks and meatloaf), using wet greaseproof paper tucked directly over the food instead of a tight metal lid allows controlled evaporation, resulting in a significantly more concentrated, glossy sauce.
When preparing Toad in the Hole or Yorkshire puddings, ensure the oven and oiled tins are smoking hot before adding batter, and never open the oven door during the first 25–30 minutes to prevent deflation.
Wrapping beef fillet in a thin spinach crêpe before puff pastry prevents moisture from the meat and mushroom duxelles from making the pastry soggy.
