Well today I delved in to my 10th 30 Minute Meal, Jamie's Chicken Pie and I have to say it was mighty delicious considering there were minimal ingredients in the pie. It must of been the English Mustard that gave all the flavour as I was a little heavy handed I must admit.
I cheated a little by doing a little preparation work while my little one was still having his afternoon nap. I figured I could do the food processor jobs and have that all cleaned up before I even started cooking. This proved to be a great idea and allowed me to get the pie in the oven somewhat quicker than if I had followed the steps in Jamie's book.
I watched the TV show a couple of hours before preparing the meal and found many inconsistencies with what he said and what he wrote which threw me off a bit during the cooking process. However, the pie tasted wonderful and with the correct size dish, it would have been even better! The Carrot Smash was nothing to get excited about and neither was the French Style Peas. I have to admit I didn't like the idea of cooking lettuce, so I used Savoy Cabbage instead which still looked the same and I'm sure didn't change the taste very much.
The Mixed Berries, Cream and Shortbread became mixed berries with yoghurt as both my husband and I are trying to loose weight and therefor shortbread biscuits were definitely not on the plate! As for Elderflower Cordial, well I looked but didn't find, so I just used a little Lime Cordial which gave it a nice tang.
All up a nice meal and one I'm sure I will make again. Next up, recipe number 11; Fish Tray Bake!
