Jamie’s Italian is to launch a new Quick & Easy menu to tie in with owner Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook.
The dishes are based five key ingredients and will be available at lunch or dinner from 24 August.
Starters from the lunch menu include Creamy Welsh mussels poached in cream and cider, and Pappa al pomodoro pepper and tomato soup. Mains include Lemony courgette linguine, Carrot & grain salad or Sizzling steak & fries. The lunch menu is priced from £11.95.
At dinnertime, diners can try Crispy squid & smashed avo dip, while mains include a Golden herb-crusted pork escalope, Harissa squash salad and Sizzling sirloin with fries. The set dinner menu is priced £15.95.
Ed Loftus, director of food development at the Jamie Oliver Group, said: “The inspiration for 5 Ingredients – Quick & Easy Food was a desire to create simple, comforting food that was full of flavour, but not masses of ingredients. It’s all about making a few quality ingredients shine. That’s why the recipes are perfect for Jamie’s Italian restaurants, as the food we serve is based on carefully sourced ingredients, cooked simply to create great tasting dishes. It makes perfect sense to create the new set menus using some of our favourite recipes from the book.”
