Jamie Oliver returns to our screens this month with Jamie’s 5 Ingredient Meals, a TV series packed with delicious recipes and cooking tips from his latest cookbook, 5 Ingredients Mediterranean. Inspired by his recent trip researching the food and flavours of the Med, these recipes use just five ingredients to create fuss-free, budget-friendly dishes with maximum flavour.

Each week, we’ll be rounding up a selection of the best recipes featured on the show, from hearty midweek meals to no-bake desserts. You can also read our thoughts on what it was like cooking 5 Ingredients Mediterranean dinners for a full week.
