Fifteen minutes. A ticking clock, a hungry belly—and somehow Jamie Oliver pulls off full-on flavour magic. I cooked my way through these in a week that felt like a sprint. Fast, messy, delicious. Here’s the rundown with just enough detail to get your mouth watering:
1. Island salad
Sticky peaches. Sharp pickled cucumber. Crispy halloumi. Crunchy toasted pitta. Every bite’s a texture bomb.
2. Quick falafel
This easy 15-minute falafel recipe is a flavorful twist on the classic, using tinned chickpeas for ultimate convenience. Packed with the warmth of harissa and allspice, these golden, crispy patties are a perfect match for warm pitta bread.
Fresh mint adds a refreshing finish, and you can customize it with your favorite toppings for a truly personal touch. Ideal for a quick dinner or a satisfying snack, this dish is a must-try for lovers of bold, Mediterranean-inspired flavors!
3. Gnarly Peanut Chicken
Charred chicken glazed with a tangy peanut-lime sauce. Red chili heat. Zest that wakes you up.
4. Spring Frittata
Eggs, courgettes, truffle oil, feta—light but loaded. Served mine with garlicky toast and a green pea salad.
5. Sweet & Sour Veggies
Bright stir-fry of peppers, pineapple, asparagus. Served over fiery eggy rice. Crunchy. Sweet. Addictive.
6. Mushroom Farfalle
Porcini and chestnut mushrooms smother pasta in earthy sauce. Lemon and truffle oil lift it. Surprisingly luxe.
7. Swedish Meatballs
Beef and pork, scented with caraway. Cranberry cream sauce sounds weird, tastes unreal. Celeriac rice underneath.
8. Baked Whole Trout
Whole trout roasted with pancetta and almonds. Jersey Royals and peas on the side. Simple and so fresh.
9. Incredibly Delicious Chicken Salad
Charred broccoli, fluffy bulgur, preserved lemons. Radish-mint salad and harissa yoghurt on top. Pure crunch and zing.
10. Lamb Meatballs
Juicy, spiced lamb meatballs in saffron chickpea sauce. Served with crisp salad, tortillas, and orange wedges. Wildly good.
Quick to make. Big on flavour. These 15-minute gems saved more than just dinner.
