Jamie's 15 Minute Meals

In the programme, Jamie Oliver demonstrates how to prepare crispy Parma pork accompanied by minted courgettes and brown rice. He also shows the assembly of a grilled mushroom sub, layered with smoky pancetta, melted cheese and sliced pears. Both recipes are highlighted as the featured dishes.

The episode titled is part of Jamie Oliver’s cooking series, where the chef walks viewers through the preparation of two distinct dishes. As an episode‑format programme, it focuses on practical recipe guidance rather than narrative storytelling, giving home cooks clear, step‑by‑step instructions. In this installment Oliver showcases a pair of contrasting plates. The first is a crisp‑finished Parma pork dish accompanied by courgettes flavoured with fresh mint and a side of brown rice. The second offering is a hearty grilled mushroom sub, layered with smoky pancetta, melted cheese and thinly sliced pears, creating a blend of savoury and sweet notes. The pork recipe centres on achieving a crunchy exterior while keeping the meat tender inside. Oliver seasons the Parma pork, sears it to lock in juices, and finishes it to a golden crisp. He then tosses courgettes with mint, giving them a bright herbal lift, and serves the whole ensemble over fluffy brown rice, which soaks up the flavours. For the sub, the mushrooms are grilled until they develop a smoky depth, then stacked inside a roll alongside pancetta that adds a salty, smoky bite. Melted cheese blankets the fillings, while delicate pear slices contribute a subtle sweetness, rounding off a satisfying, handheld meal.
