Save with Jamie

Jamie cooks up a glorious 'mothership' roast brisket of beef with all the trimmings, before turning the leftovers into an incredible Korean stir-fried rice. He knocks up a beautiful sweet pea fish pie, jam-packed with flavour, but made with frozen fish. And he shows a takeaway lover how to make an American hot Chicago pizza pie for a fraction of the price of his usual Friday night fast food treat. All of the recipes in this episode cost a mere £1.80 per portion.

Things kick off with Jamie’s Piri Piri pork belly with crispy crackling to fight over. It’s a brilliant example of how a thrifty cut of meat and some clever cooking can deliver a real family feast at a fraction of the cost of pork chops, fillet or loin. Also on the menu is Jamie’s fast and frugal hungover noodles topped with Asian-style crispy, runny fried egg – it’s proper feel good food that you can get on the table in less than twenty minutes. Next up are two very different ideas for making the most of leftover lamb from your Sunday roast – a scrumptious lamb biryani and a healthy, punchy, crunchy noodle salad. Last but not least, there’s a mid-week showstopper in the form of Jamie’s grilled garlic mussels with sweet tomato soup. It feels indulgent but is surprisingly cheap to make!
