10 questions with Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver is back with a new cookbook, Together, inspired to bring people together to enjoy great food after a challenging year apart. Marilyn had the chance to sit down with Jamie to do a fun little Q&A, from what he would be if he wasn't a chef to the dish he would bring with him on a desert island! Plus, he chats about his new cookbook and CTV Life series.
Catch Jamie Oliver: Together Thursdays at 9p ET on CTV.
To celebrate the new series, we're sharing a bunch of Jamie's recipes that are guaranteed to deliver delicious results, regardless of your skill level. The below recipes combine everything we love about Jamie's cooking—ease, simplicity, and crowd-pleasing flavours.
Slow-roasted lamb
Boning, stuffing and rolling the lamb means the flavourful filling infiltrates the meat as it cooks and vice versa. By stuffing the shoulder, you’re able to stretch the meat even further, and by removing the bones, the lamb is easier to carve – it’s a one-slice wonder!
Green sauce
Made with pistachios, mint and parsley, this dairy-free sauce works as a great stand-alone recipe, but also as a component with his slow-roasted lamb recipe.
