Jamie Oliver will hardly need an introduction to most of you, but his new cookbook may well be news. Out next week, One: Simple One Pan Wonders is all about making your life simpler, by minimising the effort and time spent in the kitchen (including doing much less washing up) while maximising the flavour you get out of it in the end. Everyday meals don’t need to be boring and bland, nor do they need to be complicated to taste incredible. One is packed full of one pot recipes to get you inspired to mix up your midweek menus, from one pan pastas and delicious seafood dishes, to meaty roasts and decadent desserts.
With over one hundred recipes made with minimal ingredients and plenty of veggie options, One is the perfect cookbook for lovers of Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals and 5 Ingredients. And if the supporting TV show, Jamie’s One Pan Wonders showing now on Channel 4, doesn’t whet your appetite enough, here are our 10 favourite standout recipes from One.
Sweet Pepper Pesto Pasta
Using fresh lasagne sheets to make wide pasta ribbons adds a heartiness to this simple dish, which only needs six ingredients and takes just twelve minutes to cook. Keep an eye out for smoked almonds to add an extra dimension to the rustic pesto.
Hasselback Aubergine Pie
This showstopper of a pie is deceptively simple, and makes great use of the humble aubergine. Crispy bites of halloumi, sticky onions, salty capers, and a drizzle of honey make this a dish of delightful textures and flavours.
Honey Roast Chicken
Jamie has a whole chapter in One dedicated to the humble chicken, and this colourful dish is the definition of a crowd-pleasing one pan dinner. Simply add everything to the pan and let the oven do all the hard work before scattering over crushed pistachios and crumbled feta.
Miso Roast Chicken
Miso paste, soy sauce, and dried mushrooms add depth and unique flavour to this roast chicken dish. Serve with sticky rice and simple steamed greens on the side.
Pick-Me-Up Chilli Fried Eggs
This spicy and moreish is the perfect weekend breakfast dish for two. Eat straight from the pan with toasted sourdough for dipping.
Teriyaki Prawns
An easy fakeaway for Friday nights, this teriyaki prawn noodle dish is deliciously quick to pull together, leaving more time to get back to enjoying the evening.
Glazed Lamb Shanks
The beauty of this dish lies in the fact that you can pop it in the oven for two hours and relax, knowing that the flavours will take care of themselves. Swap out the lamb for celeriac for a meat-free alternative.
Roast Topside of Beef
This hearty weekend one-pan roast is heightened with the addition of a fresh tomato and parsley salsa.
Sticky Fudge Pudding
If you were to look up the word ‘moreish’ in the dictionary this rich fudgy pudding would be pictured right alongside it. Sweet and spiked with a touch of whisky, everyone will be fighting over the last slice.
Apple Custard Tart
Crispy filo pastry, creamy apple and ricotta filling, and a crunchy custard cream crumble topping – what more could you possibly want from a dessert? Don’t forget a sprinkle of cinnamon to finish it off to perfection.
