One of the highlights of winter is being able to indulge in seasonal cuisine while enjoying more time indoors. If you’re craving a stew or comfort meal of some sort, but don’t want to spend hours by the cooker, Jamie Oliver has a solution for you. The chef and restaurateur’s “outrageously delicious” chicken, sausage and mushroom stew is creamy and warming, but only takes a few minutes to make.
Sharing this recipe from his cookbook Simply Jamie, the chef noted: “In the time the rice cooks you can have this outrageously delicious, delicate little number ready.” When made as per the following instructions, this strew serves two and can be made in as little as 19 minutes. Ingredients 150g basmati rice One higher-welfare sausage 160g mixed mushrooms One onion Four sprigs of thyme Olive oil Two teaspoons English mustard 100ml single cream 150g shredded poached chicken 100g baby spinach Cayenne pepper Method Begin by placing the rice in a saucepan with 300ml of boiling water and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
Cover the pan and cook over medium-high heat for 12 minutes, or until the water has completely evaporated. Next, remove the casing from the sausage meat and break it into small balls. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the sausage balls, cooking them for about three minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, prepare the mushrooms by tearing them into pieces. Peel the onion and slice it very finely. Add the onion and thyme to the frying pan along with half tabl.
