Indian Style Chip Butty (470 calories) Recipe Book: Jamie Oliver Veg (the latest book)  Review: 4 Stars! Finally! Back to better scores. I hate rating Jamie's recipes low as him and Nigella and Delia got me into cooking. This one was pretty easy to make and didn't take too much time. I did get a little confused as the photo of this looked like they were going to be smallish balls on those titchy rolls (which I didn't have). The recipe says it serves 4 and to make 4 balls so naturally my recipe should make 2 balls.... What actually happened... Didn't have any of those tiny little rolls (like in the photo) so used 2 small white finger rolls from Asda cut in to 2. Whilst making the chip filling in the pan the 2 balls I should be making looked massive! So I made them in to 4 instead, otherwise they wouldn't have fit on my now little buns! I used Asda Spicy Mango Chutney as that was what was in the cupboard. I couldn't locate a pomegranate so had to bu

Chicken Satay Sandwich Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: 5 stars for this one! Proper good! A real comfort food. It's not a healthy recipe, but by god it is good! If you like those chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce that most good chinese takeaways do in the starter section of the menus, then you'll love this. I served mine on a baguette (you know those part baked ones that you can pick up in the supermarket, and I baked mine just before serving so they were nice and warm...Mmmmmm! I found it really easy and quick to make. Aga conversion: I mainly used the simmering plate for this recipe and then brought to the boil on the boiling plate. I baked the baguettes on the grid shelf on the bottom set of runner in the roasting oven for 8 minutes. Will I make this again? Yes definitely. # aga   # nigelslater   # nigelslater realfood   # chickensataysandwich

Spiced Indian Chicken Baguette Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: Full on 5 stars for this one! It was excellent. Super tasty, a real Saturday night easy to make  and quite filling sandwich for when you don't want a full meal or to order a takeaway... Reasonably quick and easy to make. I used Asda chicken wings so ended up using about 8 as there wasn't a whole load of meat on them.  Apologies for the not great photo, I had cut my baguette in half and started eating it when I realised I hadn't taken a photo! Aga conversion: I deviated slightly with this recipe and roasted my wings in the Roasting Oven on the bottom set of runners for around 30  minutes. Did the spice bit in a small frying pan. Toasted the baguette in the toasting rack on the boiling plate. Will I make this again? Yes definitely. # aga   # nigelslater   # nigelslater realfood   # Spicedindianchickenbaguette
