I’ve taken the 15 Minute Meal making on the road again today. \u00a0Tonight i’ve come to visit some friends from my last church and I’m cooking for Colin, Dawn, Josiah (who is tonight’s photographer) and Bethany. After seeing Jamie cook this one on TV, they specifically asked if I could cook this for them. \u00a0I have also seen this one on TV and it does look great. \u00a0I’m quite excited to cook it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With moving house on Monday, I have had to be a bit organized with the next few meals. \u00a0I went shopping this morning to get the ingredients for five meals. \u00a0When I have bought food for two, three or four meals before I have always had to go to at least two shops to get the ingredients, sometimes more. \u00a0Even when I’m only buying for one meal it can often mean going to at least two shops. \u00a0In part this is because i’m being quite fastidious with the shopping and if I wasn’t doing this as a project I would probably buy a substitute ingredient, instead of going to another shop just to get one thing. Today however I managed to get everything at one shop. \u00a0Well done Asda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight it felt a little easier cooking in someone else’s kitchen than it has done before. \u00a0I don’t know if that’s because I’m getting used to doing this a little now? Colin and Dawn have a nice kitchen to cook in.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a fun one to cook. \u00a0The chicken smells great as you cook it with the garlic and rosemary and chillis. The pesto smells really lovely too as it whizzes up in the food processor. \u00a0By the way I saw Jamie to a neat little trick on TV the other day with green beans. \u00a0Normally you opening the pack, line up a few of the beans, then cut the stalks off those few beans (and repeat). Jamie just forced them to one end of the pack, took a knife and sliced through the stalk end, packaging and all. \u00a0I did this tonight and it worked perfectly. \u00a0You should try it.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a fiddly bit. \u00a0The lasagne sheets come in a packet where each sheet is separated by a layer of paper. \u00a0It takes quite a bit of time to separate the lasagne from the paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with a lot of these dishes there is quite a bit to bring together at the end. \u00a0The dish is served on a lovely old platter, which Colin has been eating his Christmas turkey from since he was a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a fun meal that tasted really lovely and it was great to catch up with some friends.<\/span><\/p>\n
