Jamie's Money Saving Meals Series 2
Category: News ReleaseEpisode 1, Monday 2nd June, 8.30pm
Jamie Oliver returns with a new series of Money Saving Meals, packed full of super impressive and surprisingly affordable recipes that show that you can enjoy great food every single day, without blowing the budget. On average, the meals across the series cost less than £1.60 a head. In the first episode, Jamie makes a piri piri pork belly with crispy crackling - a brilliant example of how a thrifty cut of meat and some clever cooking can deliver a real family feast at a fraction of the cost of pork chops, fillet or loin. There's also frugal hangover noodles topped with Asian-style crispy and runny fried egg; and two very different ideas for making the most of leftover lamb from the Sunday roast - a scrumptious lamb biryani and a healthy, punchy, crunchy noodle salad. There's a midweek showstopper in the form of Jamie's grilled garlic mussels with sweet tomato soup, at just £1.30 a portion. And clever tips on how to use super-cheap frozen veg like spinach and broccoli.
