Yesterday afternoon I got down to the library and picked up Jamie Oliver’s Easy Air Fryer book. Oliver has come in for a lot of criticism over the years but he is on good form here. So far I’ve tried two recipes and both have hit the “big, bold and delicious” tagline.
Above is the one I had for lunch, a pair of stuffed mushrooms. The stuffing is cheese and mashed potato with a bit of rosemary, lemon zest and the mushroom stems but the key part of the result was the mix of breadcrumbs, oil and the rest of the rosemary that tops them. 15 minutes at 180°C (conveniently the time and temperature defaults on my machine), leaving plenty of time to assemble and dress the salad. Bish, bash, bosh, job done (as Oliver might say if he is still playing the Essex lad game).
I particularly lie the way the recipes indicate both how long they take to cook and how much hands on time is needed as part of that. They are also robust enough to produce good results without being followed perfectly. I had the wrong cheese, fresh rather than tinned potatoes and one or two other alternatives but I still got a tasty lunch with minimum fuss. If I try a few more recipes and they work out as well, this one is probably going on my Christmas list.
