Quick Sauteed Potatoes

Posted by Ben Forte in Cooking on October 8th, 2009

I am writing this while cooking its not Jamie Oliver friday yet but I’m in the kitchen doing a quick meal!

Salmon with a lemon and butter sauce, but what to have with it?

I fancy some sauteed potatoes mmmm! So easy to cook!

What do you need?

Potatoes
Olive Oil or Sun Flower Oil
Mixed Herbs (Optional)

Cut your spuds into small chunks then stick them in a pan of boiling water for 4 mins, some people say 3 but I’m putting my 4 mins out there!
Then take them off the heat, drain them and let them cool.
When you want to serve chuck them in a hot frying pan with the oil (and herbs) and leave to brown a bit before turning them, then turn them about 2 or 3 times fr about 7 mins!

Hey Presto Yum Yum!

Fiery Dan Dan Noodles

Posted by Ben Forte in Cooking on September 19th, 2009

I saw this one on Jamie Olivers new America TV show and just had to try it!

It was very good! I did struggle to find the exact right veg in Sainsbury’s but got some pretty good equivalents in the ready mixed stir fry bags.

1 beef or chicken stock cube, preferably organic
500g minced beef
2 tbsp runny honey
300g wheat noodles
4 handfuls of mixed green veg (chinese cabbage, sprouting broccoli, bok choy, spinach)
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp freshly ground Sichuan pepper
5 tbsp good-quality chilli oil (see PS below)
2 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
1 lime, quartered, to serve
