Urgent Gordon Ramsey Help Needed!!!!!

MSE_Martin

Old Stylers I need your help.

Gordon Ramsey's new Cookalong programme is doing a credit crunch special and I've been asked to cook a MoneySaving dish against him - on a sub £5 budget though the cheaper the better.

Here's the problem. I AM A TERRIBLE COOK. I need something simple, but sexy, that'll beat him. Im thinking desert would be easy. It also needs to be something NOT out of a recipe book - if i do it I will try and credit the oldstyler with the dish.

AND i need to be able to present it well and easily... AAAAAAAAAARGGGHH

(they called today and asked if i can do it tomorrow, which I can't but this could be needed soon)

Suggestions and detailed instructions and any help needed.

Massive thanks in advance

Martin


ADDENDUM: FOrgot to say i think doing a cheap dessert would be good

This is always really nice

Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

Ingredients

448 g salmon
45 ml prepared Dijon-style mustard
salt and pepper to taste
30 g Italian-style dry bread crumbs
55 g butter, melted


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil.
2. Place salmon skin-side down on foil. Spread a thin layer of mustard on the top of each fillet, and season with salt and pepper. Top with bread crumbs, then drizzle with melted butter.
3. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

This is a great idea, i'm glad you're doing it to show him how cheaply it can be done. I'm not sure on a recipe i'll have a think. Somebody will have one to beat him i'm sure.

How long would you have to make and serve the dish? Is it something that needs to be done in 20 minutes, or would you have longer?

Glad

Okay, how about Lamb Hot Pot, you will need -

2 lamb or mutton chops (sliced into squares)
1 sheeps kidney (sliced)
1 onion (sliced thinly)
potatoes cut thin
splash of Worcestershire sauce
knob of butter
salt/pepper for seasoning
water

Put a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of a deep oven dish. Add a layer of chops and kidney. Fill up with alternating layers of potatoes, onions and chops/kidney. Finish with a potato layer. Fill dish up to top with water, add Worcestershire sauce and a knob of butter. Cover with greased paper. Put in hot oven (200 C) for 1-1 1/2 hours.

You can tell Gordon Ramsey this is Maw Broons receipe so he cannot win!

Good luck:D

PS I know you said not out of a receipe book but GR cannot beat Maw Broon

Sounds great! I will be looking forward to that one!

Good luck!!! You'll knock 'im dead

Is that £5 just for a pudding, for how many people

Eton Mess is easy and delicious :j Crush a pack of meringues. Mix in a tub of thick double cream and some raspberries and strawberries. Make a sauce by sieving some of the fruit, and mix the juice with a little icing sugar. Drizzle over and dust with more icing sugar.
